We had a great time at the cultural center and love all the upgrades they have done. Our last visit was 6 years ago and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the most amazing host ever had just returned 6 months ago, we all remembered her from our first visit. I must say this is her calling and we will be back. Welcome back Miss Sia, your are truly a blessing to the center. Thank you for the special shout out to my son who celebrated a birthday and graduation, that really topped off our experience Thank you to our awesome guides Russell and Sofy (sorry if spelled wrong). The show was amazing as well... I definitely recommend the full guided tour for a full day of fun rain or shine.

Good show, good food. Crafts were just OK. Some of the people working there were not really enthused about the whole thing. The food servers and performers were great. You can't use the Paradise Cove credit card at all booth's. Evidently some of the craft vendors are not directly connected to Paradise Cove and do not accept the card. If you just want to drink, then the card is great. The bar takes the card. I was here a few years ago, the show is better now, the food is better and the crafts are worse.

Our first Luau and it was a lot of fun. The bus picked us up at the hotel and brought us back. The gals that drove and entertained us on bus "W" were awesome. The activities were great as was dinner. We sat in the Royal Box. There wasn't a picture of it anywhere that I could find, so I am including one. You are sitting at approximately the same height as the stage but about 50-60 feet away from the stage. The show was great and all the people were really nice. The sunset was gorgeous and presents an opportunity for some amazing photos.

I have been to a number of Luau's on Oahu and this one is by far the best, mostly due to the brilliant 'Chief' who will keep you laughing throughout the evening. The food is excellent, the Hawaiian dancing is magical, the fire dance is spectacular, the whole evening is just total enjoyment from beginning to end. A show not to be missed.

Since it's far from Waikiki, I thought it would be difficult for us to go on our own. We requested the deluxe course, and the food was very delicious. We had seats right in front of the show, which was truly moving. However, since it was far, the driver's driving was quite dynamic (laughs) and thrilling. It's a wonderful show that allows you to feel close to Hawaiian culture, so I recommend seeing it at least once if you have the chance. It was so much fun! Mahalo!
ワイキキからは遠いので、自分たちで行くのは困難だと思いました。
デラックスコースでお願いしたのですが、食事もとても美味しく、座席もショーを目の前で見ることができ、とても感動して帰って来ました。ただ、遠いもんでドライバーさんの運転がダイナミックで(笑)スリリングではありました。ハワイの文化を身近に感じてすばらしいショーですので、機会があれば1度は見ることをお勧めします。楽しかった~!マハロ!

The performances of Elvis Presley, Celine Dion, and Michael Jackson impersonators were impressive, especially Celine Dion's, who sang so well that it was hard to believe she was an impersonator. The Hawaiian dance was also great. The food was just okay.

Since it was our honeymoon, we opted for a VIP dinner. We were first taken to the bar where we enjoyed cocktails, and then we moved to the dining area for dinner. The food was decent... The show felt like a fusion of a Polynesian show and impersonations. It seemed great for those who like Elvis Presley, Celine Dion, and Michael Jackson, but my husband didn't quite understand it and wished they would incorporate more from younger generations. I could barely recognize some of it, but it did feel a bit outdated if you didn't know.
ハネムーンという事で、VIPディナーにしました。初めにバーに通されてカクテル等を頂いた後、会場に移りディナーを頂きました。
お料理は、そこそこかな…。
ショーはポリネシアンショーとものまねの融合といった感じです。エルビスプレスリーやセリーヌディオン、マイケルジャクソンが好きな人や世代の方にはとても良さそうでしたが、主人はよく分からなかったようでもう少し若い世代の人のも取り入れて欲しいなと愚痴をこぼしておりました。確かに、かろうじて私は分かりましたが分からないと少し古いような感じもしました。

From the time of pick up till the time of drop off, our driver/ guide "Cousin Miah" made us feel like we were one big "ohana", celebrating this feast at the "Big Kahuna Luau." As soon as we boarded the vehicle we were on our way out of the crazy touristy Waikiki and to the quiet mountain top of Tantalus. The breath of fresh air with delicious appetizers and drinks was just a the perfect way to spend our "Aloha Friday!" Before the luau began, my children were able to take a hula lesson, make lei's, get a tattoo, and witness a gorgeous Hawaiian sunset. After the imu cermeony, the kalaua pig didn't just run away to the kitchen like the other luaus. Here you can witness the cook skillfully chop the pig so we can all have a taste. It took a while as we took turns to the go to the buffet line, but you end up going for seconds to get another bite of the teriyaki chicken. As the dancers and fire dancer entertain you, you loose track of time. Before your know it, its time to head back to Waikiki but not before taking a look at the amazing city lights of Honolulu. Mahalo Nui Loa Big Kahuna Luau for a night to remember!

I have booked this trip months ago. I requested after 12noon pick up and it was 7am pick schedule for us. Then it was adjusted to 12.05 .When we arrive Honolulu, I had to check with my hotel about the pick up area. They were surprise why we had to travel all the way from Hilton Waiikiki beach to Hilton Village . I had to speak to you again and reschedule the pick up to Marriot and time changed from 12.05 to 12.30. We all anxiously waiting for the 1st adventure at honoluu and it turned out to be a complete disaster. The vehicle with Poynesian was suppose to pick only some Japanese tourist. We have been wasting from 12.10pm to 1.45pm doing nothing and making several stressful phone calls. It all says organisation and coordination was poor.
Unfortunately it was a compete disaster. Thank you for organizing the refund.
We had some other tours organised with other people and it all turned out very well.

I went with four colleagues from work. The Polynesian Cultural Center is quite far away.
We only had the buffet and show package, but once we got there, there were various activities, so it might be worth considering the full-day package to enjoy everything.
I honestly didn't have high expectations for the buffet, but it was surprisingly delicious, so I was very satisfied.
I spent about 80% of the show sleeping, so I won't comment on it. However, my colleagues watched it properly and said they were "moved." I secretly thought, "How can you be moved when you don't understand English!?"
会社の同僚4名で行ってきました。
ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターまでが遠いです。
ビュッフェとショーだけのコースでしたが、現地着いたら色々あったので、1日コースで楽しむのもありかもしれません。
ビュッフェは正直あまり期待していなかったのですが、思いのほか美味しかったので大満足。
ショーは8割寝ていたので感想は割愛します。

The staff were all kind and welcomed us with smiles. The initial flash show and fire show had high-level dancers and were very good. They came down from the stage, sang, and showered guests with flowers and shook hands, providing great service. I spoke with a Michael look-alike during the final photo session, and he was a modest person with a personality similar to Michael's!? I had a one-year-old with me, but thanks to the child sleeping through the show, I was able to concentrate on the performance. I'm also happy that we could take photos at the end! There were many Michael fans and honeymooners. It was so much fun!!
