All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

I had a great experience!
During the bus drive to PCC there is a tour guide who is really good on entertaining the crowd while giving important information about Hawaii culture. As you arrive there you are greeted by the employees while checking-in.
After lunch (i've purchased a nice BBQ buffet) I started my tour, the guide was very friendly and took us to each village and we had the chance to participate of many cultural activities.
If you were not able to see all the presentations, don't worry, you can have a small demonstration of each Village during the Canoe Pageant.
If you have time, please check the Hawaiian Journey Theater, you will watch a beautiful movie about Hawaii. I was impressed by the size of the theater. There's also a Tram Tour around Laie town and you can visit the Temple.
By 5pm it starts the Dinner Luau. There is a lot of different options, and they were all delicious! After dinner there's the beautiful show "Ha: Breath of Life". It's a wonderful production!

The ocean in Kailua is incredibly blue, and it was a 64-year-old grandma who set out kayaking alone. Her friends were 65 and 55 years old, and we could do anything! Snorkeling in the coral reefs of Lanikai—landing on a deserted island!!! We were completely satisfied!!! The three grandma kayakers were eager to challenge themselves again the next day. It was a joyful time in Oahu, absolutely fantastic!!!

カイルアの海の真っ青な事、その海を1人カヤックで漕ぎ出したのは6４歳のグランマですよ。一緒の友人は65歳と55歳、何でも出来ましたよォ～～　　ラニカイの海の珊瑚礁でシュノーケル～～～　　無人島上陸！！！　もう、大満足！！！でした～～～　もう1度次の日も挑戦したいと初めてのカヤックグランマ3人組は意気揚々でした。ルンルンオアフでした、サイコ～～～～～

I had a wonderful view from the window seat and was able to see a beautiful sunset! However, the food was not as good as I had hoped... it was a bit disappointing.

窓際の席でとっても景色がよく素敵なサンセットが見れました！
ただ料理が期待以上ではなく・・・ちょっと残念でした。

We chose this place to learn about polynesian culture, place is adorable, great people around, nice dinner and fantastic show at the end of the day. We recommend it.have fun!

The cultural center and night show were awesome. The luau was amazing! Very memorable experience!

Although the weather wasn't perfectly clear and there were some rain showers along the way, I had a very enjoyable and wonderful time. I participated with my mother, and the crew was fantastic in looking after her. We were able to see manta rays and sea turtles, which made us very satisfied! I highly recommend this experience as it seems accessible for people of all ages, even those who can't swim.

天気は快晴とは言えず途中スコールもありましたが、とても楽しく素敵な時間が過ごせました。母と二人での参加でしたがクルーの方が母を気にかけてくださり素晴らしかったです。
マンタもウミガメも見れてとっても大満足です！！
年齢問わず泳げない方も参加できそうなのでとてもおすすめです。

This is just a terrific event to attend. The chief and his extended family put on a terrific and funny show designed to entertain all in attendance from couples to families. Many pre-show activities bring you inside the culture of the islands. The food is tasty and plenty of it to enjoy. The staff is very hospitable. Highly recommend.

The overwhelming intensity and loudness that approached my face were amazing; it was an event that passed in the blink of an eye. I was reminded of Elvis's greatness.

顔面に迫るど迫力と大音響のすばらしさ、あっと言う間の出来事でした。エルビスのすばらしさを再認識致しました。

We were picked up early in the morning near the hotel. It took about 40-50 minutes to reach the port. There were many couples participating, and around 30-40 people boarded the boat together. The scenery visible from the boat on the way to the sandbar was beautiful, and we spotted several sea turtles.

Before long, we arrived at the sandbar, which was easily recognizable by its pale blue color that stood out from the surroundings. As expected, many people were taking photos. After that, we went snorkeling over the coral reef!

However, there was a downside... There were simply too many people, and it was difficult to move without bumping into others while snorkeling. Because of that, I ended up getting injured on the coral reef.

The sandbar was beautiful, but in terms of snorkeling, the experience I had later with the dolphin tour was significantly better and much more enjoyable.

It was great that the staff were very energetic and fun, and there was warm tea available when we returned to the boat.

朝早くホテル近くでピックアップ。
片道４０－５０分くらいで港に到着。カップル参加が多く、３０~４０人くらい一緒に船に乗りました。
サンドバーまでに船から見える景色は良く、何匹かウミガメが見られました。
ほどなくして、淡い青色で周りとの色の違いからすぐにそれと分かるサンドバーに到着。やはり写真を撮る人多数。
その後、サンゴ礁の上をシュノーケリング！
ここで難点が…
なにしろ人数が多すぎて、シュノーケリング中にぶつかったり、身動きが取れなかったり…
そのせいでサンゴ礁でケガをしてしまいました。

サンドバーはきれいでしたが、シュノーケリングに関してはその後参加したイルカ中学の方が格段にきれいでのびのびと楽しめました。

スタッフがとてもテンション高くて楽しかったり、船に帰ってから暖かいお茶があったりしたのはよかったです。

I've always wanted to visit the sandbar, and on the day of my visit, the weather was perfect. I was able to see sea turtles and manta rays! The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, and I wanted to stay there forever. The guide was also very entertaining and friendly! I definitely want to go again!!!

ずっと行きたかったサンドバー、
当日は天気にも恵まれて、ウミガメやマンタも見れました！
サンドバーもびっくりする程の美しさでずっとあの場にいたかったです。
ガイドさんもとても面白くてフレンドリーな方でした！！
また是非行きたいです！！！

Chief was amazing, interacted with audience throughout the entire show. Show was HIGHLY entertaining. View from Luau was stunning, Dancing was incredibly, singing was awesome. Only downside of entire show was that the food was just okay. Pork was good, pineapple cake was good, everything else was just okay. However I would highly recommend this show even if the food was awful, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!

It was a very fantastic and romantic night!

The top deck is amazing for catching sight of the city line and it's a great place to spend a romantic evening. You have a wonderful view of Diamond Head crater and the beautiful shores of Waikiki.

I chose the 3 star dinner cruise, food was great and the staff were entertaining and very professional. As soon as you arrive at the Aloha Tower the staff will take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select.

As you enjoy your dinner, they have a 2 man band playing local island music and latter they have a jazz duo with a saxophonist. At the end of the night that was a fun Polynesian show and they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing.

I would recommend this cruise to everyone, specially for the one looking forward to a romantic night!

We took the dinner cruise on our first night's stay here in Hawaii! It was the best start to our vacation that we could have had! The food was fabulous and the entertainment was superb! We would highly recommend this dinner cruise to kick off anyone's vacation here in the islands!!

I participated without a guide, but the staff were very helpful, offering assistance and support, which was great. We landed on Flat Island, and while I saw groups with guides who provided detailed explanations about the island and how to get around, I thought, "Maybe I should have gone with a guide," but I was satisfied because we could take our time at our own pace.

Since the tour has a short duration, I would like to take my time on the next visit. We wrapped up kayaking early and enjoyed some pizza recommended by the staff (it was really delicious!) while snorkeling. We quickly spotted a sea turtle! That was probably the best memory.

The ocean was very beautiful, unlike Waikiki Beach, and the population density was still low (maybe because it was a weekday?), which really felt like the essence of a Hawaiian beach! I think it's perfect for enjoying kayaking, swimming, and snorkeling little by little.

Thank you!

ガイドをつけずに自力での参加でしたが、スタッフの方が声をかけてくださったり、助けてくださったりして、助かりました。フラットアイランドへ上陸しましたが、島の案内や回り方などを丁寧に説明していただいているガイド付きの方たちを見ていると、「つけた方が良かったかな＾＾」と思いましたが、自分たちのペースでゆっくりとやれたので満足しています。
このツアーは滞在時間が短いので、次はもっとゆっくり行きたいと思います。
カヤックは早々に切り上げ、スタッフお勧めのピザを齧りながら（本当においしかった！）シュノーリングをしました。すぐにウミガメを発見！これが一番の思い出かな。
海はワイキキビーチと違い、とても綺麗で人口密度もまだ少なく（平日だったから？）、これぞハワイのビーチ！という感じでした。
カヤック、遊泳、シュノーケリングを少しずつ楽しむには最高だと思います。
ありがとうございました！

Fun crew, Great locations, good food. Relaxing day on Oahu

I participated in the VIP course. As expected, it was a very enjoyable experience from the food to the show. The addition of hula made it a truly unique Hawaiian entertainment experience.

VIPのコースで参加しました。評判通り、食事からショーまで　とても楽しい体験でした。フラも加わり、ハワイならではのエンターテイメントに　とても良かったです。

A Visita é muito bem programada no que se refere ao tempo destinado para as diversas visitas. Entretanto, com relação a visita ao mausoléu do Arizona, sugiro que seja feita na parte da manhã uma vez que a tarde as condições de tempo e mar acabam impedindo a visita. outra sugstão é que devido a grande procura de turistas não americanos sugiro que seja utilizado o idioma espanhol como vem sendo usado o idioma japonês. No mais tudo foi excelente.

We participated as a family. The sandbar was very beautiful. The shallow area is wide, but it can be tough for small children when the tide is high. We saw many sea turtles. Even beginners can get instructions for snorkeling, so it's fine.

The issue was that the pickup was about 20 minutes late from the meeting time at the hotel. It would be nice to have a way to communicate since we didn't know what was going on.

家族で参加しました。サンドバーは，とてもきれいでしたね。浅瀬は広いのですが，満潮近くだと小さい子供は厳しいです。ウミガメはたくさん見られました。シュノーケリングは初心者でも教えてもらえるので，大丈夫です。
問題は，送迎がホテルでの待ち合わせ時間から２０分くらい遅れました。状況がわからないので，何か連絡方法があるといいですね。

Perfect for all ages!
Chief's Luau was a awesome experience! We had an amazing time. The show is really entertaining, the food is good and the staff is great.
The location is perfect, beautiful views and great pictures.
Everyone enjoyed the night and came back home with great memories.
The Chief is the best part of the night, he put on a great show!

I would recommend this show to everyone!

My husband, myself, and our two children (ages 4 and 2) participated, along with a total of 8 people including my husband's parents and his brother and sister-in-law. Since half of us were first-timers to Hawaii, we considered the Polynesian Cultural Center, but we thought it might be tough for the kids to stay out late watching the final show and then return to the hotel close to midnight. Staying at the Hilton was also a deciding factor.

The PDF for the meeting point indicated that it was the chapel, but currently, we gather directly at the venue. If possible, it would be great to correct this to avoid confusion for those who come later.

Upon arriving at the venue, we were given shell necklaces and fresh flower leis (only for the Golden Circle) to wear, and we took commemorative photos with the dancers. It cost $20, and although it felt a bit large, the photos turned out so well that I wondered if they had been edited (laughs). They even came to show us on an iPad.

Once seated, we were served welcome drinks, including Mai Tais (non-alcoholic options are available). I don't think the alcohol was very strong. The admission ticket included two drink vouchers, and additional orders could be placed for about $12. However, the cocktails felt a bit plain without flowers or fruits, so I was fine with just two. The food was okay, but there seemed to be too many types of meat. The fruits were popular and ran out quickly. The cake was, as expected, very sweet (laughs). Those in the Golden Circle were allowed to line up first to get their servings.

The show was in a much smaller venue than the Cultural Center, which allowed us to see everything up close, and we were very satisfied. During the final fire show, I could really feel the heat when the flames from the dancers' torches passed nearby. Afterward, the dancers were in the hallway and took photos with us. I was surprised to see that many of them were quite short (they seemed taller on stage).

We went on the last day, and since the show ended at 8:30 PM, those with early flights on the day of departure can still do some last-minute shopping in Waikiki! I highly recommend it!

主人、私、子供（4歳と2歳）
主人の両親と主人の弟夫妻の合計8人で参加しました。
半数の4人が初ハワイの為、ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターと
迷いましたが、ポリネシアンは最後のショーまで見るとホテルへ
戻るのが深夜近くになってしまうので子供が可愛そうかな・・・
というのとヒルトンに宿泊している事が決め手になりました。

こちらの集合場所のpdfには集合場所がチャペルとなっていましたが
現在は会場に直接集合なので可能であれば訂正していただけると
後から行かれる方が混乱しないかと思います。

会場へ向かうと貝殻のネックレスと生花のレイ（ゴールデンサークルのみ）
を首から下げてもらいダンサーの方と記念写真を撮りました。20ドルでした
ので購入しましたが（ちょっとサイズが大きいかな？）、写りが良すぎて
修正入ってるのかな？と思った程でした（笑）iPadで見せに来ましたし。

席に通されると、ウエルカムドリンクのマイタイ（ノンアルコールもあります）
が配られます。アルコールはそんなに強くなかったと思います。
入場チケットに2枚ドリンク券がついていて、追加オーダーも出来ますが
12ドル位だったかと。その割には花もフルーツも無い質素な感じ（笑）の
カクテルなので私は2杯で十分でした。食事はまあまあかな？何というか肉の
種類が多すぎるかな。フルーツは人気ですぐ無くなってしまう感じでした。
ケーキは、思った通り激甘でした（笑）
ゴールデンサークルの人から優先的に並んで取りに行ってました。

ショーはカルチャーセンターよりだいぶ小さい会場だったので近くで見れて
大満足でした。最後のファイヤーショーではダンサーの持つタイマツの火が
近くを通る時、熱さをとても感じました。終わってからダンサーの方が廊下に
いて写真を一緒に撮ってくれました。意外と皆さん、身長低い方なんだなと
思いました。（舞台では大きく感じました）

最終日に見に行きましたが,終わった時間が20：30だったので帰国日にフライト
が早くてワイキキに行けない人にも最後の買い物行けますよ！おススメです！

After two years, I went to Hawaii. There wasn't much shopping, and during my three-night stay on the Big Island, I missed out on a star viewing tour. I was wondering what to do when I found "Angel's Sea" on a website...

But you know, I'm not good with boats, and snorkeling seems like something only young people do... Oh, but I really want to see the white sandy beaches underwater... and the turtles in nature!!!

I'm so glad I had the courage to join. There were indeed mostly younger people, but I think there were two or three others over 50 besides us. The snorkeling had proper lessons, and I put on fins for the first time and swam over the coral reefs. The colorful fish made it look just like an aquarium.

The lunch hamburger came with background music, making for a perfect presentation. It was a day that flew by.

Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful day!

２年ぶりのハワイで　買い物もそれほどなく、３泊したハワイ島では　☆を見るツアーにあぶれてしまい　さあてどうしましょう・・・と思っていたら　サイトで見つけた天使の海・・・
でもね〜船は苦手だし、シュノーケルなんて　若者だけでしょう・・・
あ〜でも　みてみたいなあ・・・海の中の白い砂浜・・・自然の中の　カメさん！！！
勇気を持って参加して　本当によかったです。確かに若い方がほとんどでしたが　５０歳以上の方も私たちの他に２・３人はいたのかな？
シュノーケルもちゃんとレッスンがあって　生まれて始めてフィンをつけて　珊瑚礁の上をおよぎました。色とりどりの魚に　まるで水族館のような景色。
ランチのハンバーガーもBGMつきで　最高の演出です。あっというまの　１日でした。
スタッフのみなさん　素敵な１日をありがとうございました。

I participated after being recommended by an acquaintance I met before, and it was a lot of fun. Also, there are many places to stop by from Waikiki to here, so if you're going by rental car, you can enjoy a full day.

前に行った知り合いに勧められて参加しましたが、とても楽しかったです。又、ワイキキからここまでは立ち寄る所も多くレンタカーで行かれるなら一日満喫できます。

Since I didn't have much time, I decided to go to a Polynesian show in the city on my last day in Hawaii. The fire show was very impressive, and the hula dancers were all beautiful, which was great.

時間がないので街中でポリネシアンショーと思いハワイ最終日に行かせていただきました。ファイアーショーはとても迫力ありフラは綺麗な方ばかりでよかったですよ。

great luau and very entertaining
for all ages. would come back again

As a Japanese chef, the taste and texture are both delicious. The staff's response was good, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was calm. I think the dress code is fine with a Hawaiian style.

日本人シェフなので、口当たり味ともに美味しくいただけます。
スタッフの対応も良く店の雰囲気も落ち着きのある所でした。
ドレスコードもハワイスタイルで問題ないかと。

It was my first snorkeling experience with my husband, and we had a great time! Right below us were corals and colorful fish!!

The hamburger for lunch was just the right amount of volume for our tired bodies after swimming.

However, since we were out in the ocean, it's understandable that the weather can greatly affect the experience.

主人と初のシュノーケルでしたが、とても楽しかったです(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
泳ぐすぐ下に珊瑚と色とりどりの魚たち！！

お昼のハンバーガーも泳ぎ疲れた身体にぴったりのボリュームでしたd(^_^o)

ただし、海に出るのでお天気に大きく左右されちゃうのは仕方が無いですかね´д` ;

This is my second time participating. The first time was many years ago, so I thought I would join again. I believe the quality was still high and wonderful. It included a VIP dinner, and the food was delicious, which made me very satisfied. If I could wish for anything, it would be to have one more person... or to have been able to watch a little longer.

2回目の参加です。1回目はもう何年も前なので、もう一度参加してみようと思いました。変わらず質は高くすばらしかったと思います。VIPディナー付きでしたが、お料理もおいしくて大変満足しました。欲を言えば、もう1人・・とか、もう少し長く見てたかったです。

It was my first time in Hawaii. I really wanted to experience the sandbar and snorkeling, so I signed up for this tour. The scenery was truly breathtaking and I was moved. It seemed like the timing wasn't great, as the water was quite high, reaching up to my knees, but the crew member YUKIKO took amazing photos that I can't help but admire every time I look back at them. She even made requests for poses in good spots to ensure that other participants wouldn't be in the frame, making it feel like I was being photographed by a professional! I had heard that there weren't many fish for snorkeling, but I saw plenty and had a great time! Thank you so much! I'm really glad I chose this tour!

初めてのハワイでした。サンドバーとシュノーケリングは絶対したかったのでこのツアーを申し込みました。本当に絶景で感動しました。時期が良くなかったようでけっこう海水が多く、ひざくらいの高さまでありましたが、クルーのYUKIKOさんが写真をとっても上手に撮ってくれて何度見返してもうっとりしてしまいます。しかも参加者が写りこまないようにいい場所でポーズのリクエストとかしてくれてプロのカメラマンに撮ってもらったみたいでした！シュノーケリングも魚少ないと噂で聞いていたわりにはたくさん見れて楽しかったです！本当にありがとうございました！このツアーにして本当によかったです！

The stunning and graceful Hawaiian women performing hula captivated not only me, a man, but surely all the audience members. In particular, that unique hip-swaying dance was both alluring and truly representative of traditional hula. The highlight was the male dancers' fire performances, which are said to be acrobatic. That scene is still vividly etched in my mind; it was that impressive. The next time I visit Hawaii, I definitely want to make sure to see this luau show again.

容姿端麗で、可憐なハワイアン女性のフラダンスに魅了されたのは、男性の私だけでなくすべての観客が感じていたことでしょう。特に、あの独特の腰を振る踊りはなまめかしくもあり、これこそ伝統のフラダンスと言えるでしょう。圧巻は、男性踊りの火を使った曲芸とも言われるもの。いまだにこの光景が脳裡にしっかりと焼き就いています。それだけ印象的だったのです。次回もハワイを訪れた際には、このルアウショウだけは必ず観賞したいと思っています。

Absolutely loved the dinner cruise. It was the height of our vacation! The staff was friendly and courteous. The food was Delicious and the entertainment was superb!! From beginning to end-FABULOUS!!
