As promised, your greeter was waiting for our plane and presented my wife with a beautiful Lei. Your greeter also had plenty of advice for us and even found a nice spot to take our picture with the ALOHA sign in the background. A great way to start our trip.
Thank you

Our guide was very poor.We didn't get to see anything. You need a full day to see everything before the luau.The luau was very poor.The evening show was the best part of the experience.

Aloha! The trip was great and the stops where just right. Keao, our driver and guide had everyone laughing and singing during most of the trip. That just added to the fun! Mahalo Keao for helping to make my 50th birthday one I will never forget! V.J.

We ordered our Lei Greeting on the internet to surprize our first timers when they arrived in Hawaii. They were shocked to see someone standing there with a sign with their names on it. They had no idea we had ordered them. The girl that greeted us was as sweet and pleasant as anyone could have been, she presented the Lei's beautifully and made sure everyone was happy. She also told us which baggage area we should pick up or baggage and told us how to get there. We could'nt have asked for a more perfect way to start our Hawaiin vacation.

The lei greeting was fantastic. The Hawaiian greeter was waiting for us and the lei's were beautiful.The Hawaiian greeter was very friendly and very helpful. He helped us with the ordering of the limousine and he kept us company until the limousine arrived. We arrived at about 8:30pm and he stayed with us till about 9:30pm when the limousine arrived.He took our picture with the lei's and the limousine in behind us.This was above and beyond our expectations.This was our first time in Hawaii and he made us feel very welcome. Him staying with us was great. We were worried that we would be left deserted at the airport,and he made sure this didn't happen. The fellow was interesting and his conversation was welcome.The lei greeting was a very nice experience.

I have to say that this dinner cruise will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only was the view beautiful, the agenda was entertaining, and I was actually proposed to on this cruise! Thank you for a spectacular evening that added to a wonderful occasion for us. The atmosphere could not have been better!

My family and I enjoyed our whole day in PCC. We manage to visit all the 7 tribes of polynesia thanks to our to guide. He was very courteos and very friendly specially to our little ones. The day went very smooth although the weather was hot and muggy. The food at the luau was good as well as the performances of the girls and cousin benny. It was a delightfull dinner indeed. After the luau, we had 1 hour free time to ourselves to visit the souviener shops and check our photos taken during the day. A bit expensive for an 8X10 picture but we bit the bullet for the sake of remembrance. The night show was splendid. They pretty much showed all the seven tribes altogether and made a fabuluos show. Hula dancers were good, they were great shaking their butts. Men were also good at what they do. They really played their part as a tribe warriors. They added a little humor which I thought was cool such as slipping down the floor and pretending to hurt their butt. The three men fire dancers remind

I decided on this activity after seeing posts from people who had participated before. It's true that if you don't speak English, you might feel a bit lost at first since all the explanations are in English. However, once you get there, there are various events leading up to the actual dinner and show, such as making bracelets and crowns with flowers. You will need to give tips, so it might be a good idea to prepare a few $1 bills. The time flew by. My family participated, and everyone seemed to have a great time. Since everything was in English and most of the participants were Americans, it was nice to experience the unique vibe of America. Including the pick-up time, it takes about half a day, so it might be wise to plan with some extra time. I highly recommend this option. Both options I booked through Alan were great!
以前参加をされた方の書き込みを見て、このアクティビティに決めました。確かに英語ができないと説明も全て英語なので、全く理解できないと最初はとまどうかもしれませんが、現地にいってしまえば実際のディナーとショウまで、色々な催しものがありので(花でブレスレットを作ったり、冠を作成したりとう、チップを上げなくてはなりませんので、$1を何枚か準備していかれるとよいかも)時間はあっと言う間でした。家族で参加したのですが、皆とても楽しめたようでした。全てが英語で、アメリカ人の参加者がほとんどだったので、アメリカの独特ののりのよさも味わえてよかったみたいでした。送迎時間も含めて、半日かかるので、余裕をもって予定をたてるとよいかも。すごくお勧めのオプションでした。アランで申し込んだオプションは二つともよかったです!

This was my second time participating, and I felt it had been upgraded compared to two years ago. First, the guide on the shuttle bus made us laugh (in English). Upon arrival, we took photos with the dancers (you can purchase them later for $15 if you like). There were about two hours before the show started, filled with a variety of activities such as canoeing, tattoos, hula dance lessons, and lei making, so there was no chance of getting bored. This time, we had table service for dinner (the fried chicken is exquisite, and the pork is, of course, delicious too). Six people sit at one table, and the others were Americans. It might be tough if you're not sociable and can't speak English. If you're in a group of four or more, you probably won't feel out of place (but if it's just two of you, you'll be sitting next to each other with strangers across the table).
I believe there were about 600 guests, and it seemed like we were the only Japanese people there.
I think you can enjoy it even if you can't speak English. Don't forget to tip the guide when you get off the bus, about $5 per person.
I was actually considering the Royal Hawaiian Luau show, and luckily got to see it from the sidelines the day before, but I think Paradise Cove offers better cost performance. I'm glad I participated.
今回は2回目の参加だったのですが、2年前に比べてバージョンアップした気がしました。まず、送迎バスの中でガイドさんは笑わせてくれます(英語)。着いてからまずダンサーとの写真(後で気に入れば購入、15ドル)。カヌーやタトゥー、フラダンスレッスン、レイ作りなど、ショーが始まるまで2時間ぐらいあったのですが多彩なイベントが用意されており、退屈はしません。今回はテーブルサービスでディナーを頂きました(フライドチキンは絶品です。ポークももちろんおいしいですが)。6人が一つのテーブルになるのですが、周りはアメリカ人でした。社交的かつ英語が話せないと辛いかもしれません。4人以上のグループであれば浮くことはないでしょう(二人だと隣同士になり向かいが見知らぬゲストになるので)。
確か600人ぐらいのゲストだったと思うのですが、日本人は私達だけのようでした。
英語ができなくても楽しめると思います。バスを降りる時ににガイドさんにチップをお忘れなく。一人当たり5ドルぐらいでしょうか。
実は迷っていたロイヤルハワイアンのルアウショーも前日に袖からラッキーにも見ることができたのですが、パラダイスコーブの方がコストパフォーマンスはいいと思いました。参加してよかったです。

Well we were expecting good lei's but when we arrived, the Lei's were even better than we thought. The only pitfall for this company is their lack of trying to get the right flight. We told them the right fight number three times and all three times they couldn't find it. The did get there at the end so it was good. The price is a little high for the Lei's but other than that, it was a good experience getting them as we arrived in Hawai'i

My husband and I had a gret time at the Polynesian Cultural center. The tour bus guide "Kemo" or Cousin K was very knowledgeble about the cultures, and land legends of Oahu. The tour bus ride was 1 hour 15 minutes from Waikiki, but it went by very quickly. He taught us how to speak Hawaiin properly, a few legends from the Windward side, as well as the local spots. Once in the center, we got to see all but 2 islands (very hard to do as the center is huge) and we went to many shows, the canoe ride, the lua, and the night show. It was a very long and hot day that ended in a huge rain shower, but it was so worth it and we do not regret spening the whole day there. Very educational!!

My wife and I celebrated our Honeymoon in Oahu, and choose to goto the Cultural Center for the day, including the luau and the show.
It was an amazing experience!
Each village was unique and the people were so friendly!
My only suggestion is to sell caffinated coffee and soda at the Center...since many people are there all day they will need a pick me up.
The worst part of the entire day was our bus driver to and from the Center...Loretta. She was boring, rude, and forgot we were on the bus.

I was nervous about using this service, but things worked out great. We purchased the Deluxe Package which included 6 free alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, front row seating and tableside meal service. We were greeted with a fresh flower lei (women) and kukui nut lei (men), a mai tai drink and photos with dancers. It was everything they promised. It was on a pristine, beautiful private beach with numerous hands on activities. It was absolutely wonderful!
