Oahu
The revue, the dinner, the ambience was electric!!! Everything was beyond our expectations!!!!
Truly a memorable experience !!!!
The shows are very good. The night show could be better explained. May be a printed program to explain each dance, the meaning and connection to the story line. The dinner show is good too . The MC is wonderful but it will be good to have some quiet moment for table conversation and not so rushed to eat. But this is just our view for your consideration. Overall, it was a good experience.
We very much wanted to see Pearl Harbor and experience the memories of so many fallen Americans. The respect and are we feel towards those sacrifices was immense. We wouldn't have missed paying our respects to them at Pearl Harbor Memorial. We pre-purchased our tickets and everything went smoothly.
I really had no idea of what was in store for my wife and I when I signed up for the Super Ambassador Full Day Package with Private guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it turned out to be the best guided tour we could have ever anticipated! The comfortable Motor Coach picked us up promptly at our designated hotel location. The motor coach driver and guide were gracious and told us various facts, pointed out points of interest along the way, and set the tone for the rest of the day that would be spent at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
When we arrived the group was given their designated tickets and soon our guide a student of BYU University and from the Philippines introduced himself. Datz began our tour and skillfully navigated us through each of the Polynesian Islands exhibits granting us front row seats to each show, gave us back stage tours, and overall made this one of the best tours I have ever been on! We were delighted to experience the rich cultural heritages of each island group, ate fantastic food at the Luau, and were fascinated with the finale show "Ha' The Breath of Life".
Two thumbs up WAY up! Would I recommend this Super Ambassador Package with Private Guide? Absolutely!
The guides from E Noa Tours do a great job providing guests with a good mixture of history, cultural background, and humor. The tour was good, although we felt like we had too much time to kill on land before the boat ride to the USS Arizona Memorial. We also felt like we didn't have enough time at the USS Missouri. Overall, the highlights tour was good and participants definitely get a well-rounded understanding of the history behind the events leading up to December 7, 1941.
E Noa Tours wishes you and your a very Happy New Year! We are so glad you enjoyed your tour highlighting Pearl Harbor.
Please think of us the next time you are on O'ahu!

This was my sixth dinner cruise out of Waikiki I will have to say that this was exceptional and far exceeded my expectations the staff was wonderful our waiter was just absolutely amazing she did a great job and the food was very good service went well entertainment was nice and all in all it was a beautiful cruise
No time to enjoy or view activities. We felt very rushed. "Gold Package" got us a deli sandwich, which we had to leave the tour for, adding to the time rush. I had taken this tour with a different company several years ago, and had a totally different experience (for the better). Bus drive thru town was pleasant and informative. Driver was knowledgeable.
A couple of more hours could have made all the difference...
The weather was great, and the show was held successfully. I got a bit lost on my way there and arrived just in time for the start, but since I had a premium seat, I ended up in the front row. The buffet had a lot of delicious food. The hula dance and fire dance were very impressive and exciting. In the conch shell blowing contest, a Japanese person won!
好天に恵まれ、無事ショーが開催されました。
現地に向かっているとちょっと迷ってしまい、開始時間ギリギリに着いたのですが、プレミアムシートだったためか席は一番前の席でした。
ビュッフェもお料理がたくさんあり美味しかったです。
フラダンスやファイヤーダンスも迫力満点でとても興奮しました。
ホラ貝吹きコンテストでは日本人の方が優勝されてました笑
Simply wonderful. You travel around Oahu, visiting many beaches and points of attraction, like the Budist temple, Kualua Ranch, Dole Plantation and much more. The tour guide was excelent, I give him the highest calification.
It was beautiful, fun, exhaustive, but very commercial. I truly wanted to know more about the history of the first Hawaiian, but I was let down on that expectation. The dancers, the show at the end, the luau, the many islands with their respective activities were very interresting and beautiful, though. It's worth it, but dont expect it to replace the viewing of a good documentary. Also, the fact that this olace is ran by Mormons is extremely apparent through many not so subtle references in history plaques, or the simple fact that there was no alcool at the Luau. Still a solid activity, and it was worth it. We had the full day package (110, I think).
Using the Passport is a great way to visit all four areas at your own pace. Spend an entire day taking your time to truly appreciate each site without a tour company rushing you along to "stay on schedule "! The audio tour is included so you will learn everything that a tour guide can tell you. Simply rent a car, take a cab or take The Bus to get there and enjoy your day. You should plan on being there early as the center gets extremely busier as the day goes along.
Spending a day at the PCC is always a highlight of my visits to The Islands! Although it is a long day, it is an entertaining and extremely educational day. I strongly recommend that you take advantage of the Ambassador package since you will have a guide for the entire day and can enjoy either the luau or the prime rib dinner prior to the evening show. I did the luau this year and really enjoyed it. The night show is awesome!
Had a great time. Good food (and lots of it) and meeting new people is always fun. It was an intimate setting with a with a friendly and attentive staff. The performers were great; performing dances from the various Polynesian cultures. The view of the city lights from the ship was beautiful as was the sunset. Definitely recommend this dinner cruise for first timers and using the transportation that is offered.
In Honolulu for business, I had just one day free and wanted to make the best of it. Ending the day with the Chief's Luau was the best decision I could have made. The show was the best part, really phenomenal entertainment and well worth the price. The ride out to the venue held spectacular views. Loved the whole experience.
Our original driver lost his wallet so could not drive us. We had to wait close to an hour to get a new driver. This combined with heavy traffic due to a Christmas parade resulted in our tour being significantly delayed and feeling somewhat rushed as we tried to save time at each stop. Our second driver was very knowledgeable and gave us an excellent running commentary as we toured. We did skip a couple of stops/activities due to the delays, but we're not offered any type of compensation. While this is a highly recommended tour company that provided the service, I find it disappointing they did nothing to make up for their issues.
This website allowed us to get into all the activities and ensured we had tickets when we were able to get them through recreation.gov before they were sold out. Was grateful that we could be there on such a day as the 74th anniversary and not be taken on price.
The tour guide was entertaining, funny, and knowledgeable. The scenery was breathtaking. Enjoyed all the stops.
Enjoyed the cruise! Although short, it was delicious, all you can eat crab legs, and there is some fun entertainment at the end! Fun times!
Got the ambassador pkg and the prime buffet. Most folks didn't get the prime buffet. Really enjoyed our time. For me the ambassador package and prime buffet option was really worth it. Even though I had the rental car I took the bus from Waikiki. I think the bus is a must since it was informative and enjoyable and funny and set the stage for fun. Veltra was awesome. They can easily get you booked and all set to go.
this cruise was bueatiful simple and just perfect. it was tight on space though. overall vary happy :-D
I'm always nervous booking something online and it was wonderful when we got off the plane to have our greeter right there in plain site. This was a surprise for our guests traveling with us and was a very nice welcome to Hawaii. The greeter was absolutely lovely but we couldn't understand her because she seemed to speak in a whisper. Maybe our hearing was off from the engine noise of 11 hours flying to get there. I was expecting an orchid lei and instead got the big brown nut lei that looks like chocolate. I guess that's better because it will last forever as a souvenir even though the flowers are much prettier. I would use them again but just ask that the greeter try to speak a little louder.
Wonderful day. Outstanding presentation. Highly recommended to others.
Great food, great show! You are truly catered to and the scenery was breathtaking
The Friday night cruise food was very good and the dancers and live band were excellent. It was a fun filled evening with an opportunity to meet new friends from around the globe.
This was my first time attending. I reserved a premium seat. I'm not sure how much of the seating is taken up by the premium seats, but I was guided to the front row on the second floor, directly in front. Therefore, there was nothing to obstruct the show, and I enjoyed it 120%. At the end, Elvis came to our seats and shook hands, which was a fantastic experience as an entertainer.
Additionally, there were authentic performances featuring Gaga, Michael, hula dancing, fire dancing, and more. It was a lot of fun.
初めての観覧です。プレミアシートで予約しました。プレミアシートが席のどの程度を占めているのか分かりませんが、2階の最前列で真正面の位置に案内されました。従って、ショーを遮るものはなく120%楽しめました。ラストの方でエルビスが席まで来て握手をするなど、エンターテナーを満喫しました。
その他、ガガ、マイケル、フラダンス、ファイアーダンス等、本格的なショーでした。
楽しかったです。
Thank you very much for visiting us. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your time here. We sincerely hope that you will visit us again when you come to Hawaii.
この度は、ご来場頂きまして、誠にありがとうございます。楽しめて頂けたご様子で、私どもも大変嬉しく思っております。また、ハワイにお越しの際には、ご来場頂けます様、スタッフ一同心よりお持ち申し上げます。
I asked a friend living in Hawaii if there was a place where families could go to see a Hawaiian show, and they recommended this show!
The first part of the show was quite relaxed. My dad seemed to be wondering when it would really start (laughs). Also, the MC spoke in English, so I think those who don't understand English might not catch what was being said at all...
The seats were perfectly fine even at the cheaper price! However, the seats were quite close to the strangers next to us, making it a bit difficult to move around (´・_・`).
The show itself was really impressive and powerful in the second half. The first part might be a little boring, though.
The buffet had a lot of variety, and as a meat lover, it was fantastic for me! There were also vegetables, fruits, and rolls, so I think even those who aren't fond of American food will find something to eat!
ハワイ在住の知り合いから、家族で行けてハワイアンショーが見れるところはないか?と聞いたところ、このショーを教えてもらいました!
最初のショーが結構ゆったりしていました。父は結構まだかみたいな雰囲気でした(笑)そして、MCは英語なので、英語分からない方は何を言ってるか全然わからないと思います、、
席は安い方でも全然十分でした!ただ隣の見知らぬ人ともかなり席が近くて少し動きずらいです(´・_・`)
ショー自体は後半はすごく迫力のある素晴らしいショーでした。途中までは少し退屈かもしれないですね。
ビュッフェもたくさん種類があり、お肉好きの私にとっては最高でした!野菜やフルーツ、巻物などもあったので、アメリカの御飯苦手な方でも少しは食べるものがあると思います!
The Polynesian Culture Centre is a definite must see while in Oahu. The true culture of Hawaii and great fun! Extremely knowledgable staff and very friendly and helpful. Loved it!
Started out from our hotel with a great driver who was very knowledgable and entertaining. We stopped to see Hanauma Bay which was beautiful then moved on to see some very beautiful scenery areas and a stop for ice cream. We hadn't seen this part of the island before especially the beautiful homes with ocean scenery. We ended up at Kuala Ranch that had a tram tour that was somewhat of a disappointment because we saw scenery from the ranch that we could see from the road but now much of the ranch or ranching activities. The gold buffet lunch was okay but only came with complimentary water with tiny plastic glasses. If we wanted any other drinks we had to stand in line while our food got cold. We headed to Dole thinking we would get a tour but again only stopped at the gift shop for shopping. Best part of that was we had another pineapple whip which was great. We saw many of the same things on this tour that we saw the day before on our Pearl Harbor / Polynesian tour. The driver was great and very informative but the tour was just so-so and wouldn't recommend it to others who do the Pearl Harbor / Polynesian Cultural Center.
My friend and I had a great time. Having a personal tour guide just made it that much more special. King, our personal guide, was a wonderful addition to a fantastic day. Getting reserved seating at all the shows was excellent. There was so much to see and do and you can learn so much about the different people that make up the Polynesian Islands. I can't say enough good things about King, he was so helpful and nice. The luau wasn't what I expected. But the food was good and the show was great. It made for a long day, but there was never a dull moment. I was hoping to get a shot glass as a souvenir for my brother-in-law, he collects and displays them, so was disappointed when I found out they don't sell them there. So it was very hard to find him a gift.
I definitely recommend anyone going to visit Hawaii have to spend a day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. And the Ambassador Package only makes the day that much more special.
We thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruise. Extremely friendly staff and they made the experience special. Entertainment and good were great!
