I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our ride. We were a group of five, Joe Shonkwiler (wife Donna), Charlie Johnson, Jeff Goorsky and myself. Sarah and Heidi were our guides. We had an awesome time!!! The ride was fantastic, the views great, the lunch delicious, the horses perfect, Sarah and Heidi outstanding! It couldn't get any better than that. The girls got a kick out of my husband since he had never ridden before as well as being allergic to horses. He did great! Just enough breeze was blowing to keep the allergies at bay and his horse was the perfect babysitter. Thank you again!

Gunstock Ranch is terrific in every way. The scenery is spectacular and the trail guides are fantastic.

The staff is friendly, and I was impressed by the beauty of the sandbar! I was lucky to see manta rays and sea turtles as well. I want to participate again!

スタッフがフレンドリーだし
サンドバーの美しさに感動!
運良くマンタ、海ガメも見れてラッキー☆
また参加したい程です。

excellent loved it.

The entire experience was very nice. It's great! A good trip for anyone. We could have just stayed put and enjoyed the ride, but I did get in the water. They helped me relax and enjoy it. The crew was very helpful. We only had 8 people making it more personal. I have no idea how many they usually have. There is plenty of room to walk around and do your own thing.

The crew was wonderful, very accommodating and knowledgeable. It was my most favorite thing about our entire Oahu trip! We loved being able to see the spinner dolphins jump. There were so many fish! My husband loved helping to put up the 450 pound sail. Not a day we will soon forget! We didn't want to get off the boat at the end of our time... we'll definitely be back.

Thank you for such a fantastic trail ride! Our guide, Brittany was great and it was so nice to have options for canter. Out of all the holiday riding experiences we have had, this has been the best by far. I can definitely say that if it wasn't for the 21 hour flight from the UK, we would be there every weekend!

It was disappointing that the sea was rough and I couldn't swim with the dolphins. However, I had a great time afterwards watching P-chan's hula dance and other fun activities. Next time, I want to swim with the dolphins!

海が荒れてイルカと一緒に泳げなくて残念だった。
でも、その後のピーちゃんのフラダンス等楽しい時間をすごせました。
今度はイルカと一緒に泳ぎたいな。

I am learning hula, so I definitely wanted to see an authentic hula and Polynesian show, so I made a reservation☆

The dance was sexy, elegant, and cool, but I felt like the wait time before the show started was a bit long...

I wondered if it could be done with a shorter wait time.

私はフラを習っているので、是非一度本場のフラ＆ポリネシアンショーを見たくて予約しました☆

ダンスはセクシー＆優雅＆かっこよかったですが、ショーが始まるまでにの時間が長かったように感じます。。

もう少し待ち時間なくできないのかと思いました。

We were first timers kayaking and while the 2.5 miles we paddled to our destination was physically challenging the destination and overall experience was well worth it. Our guides, Sheila and Alex were great. Sheila has alot of experience and education and was very informative throughout the tour. We would do this again!!! Magnificent and beautiful.

I recently visited Oahu for the 2nd time. My first luau experience in 2003 was with Germaine's Luau. That was very fun, but I felt it was too "touristy".

So on my recent trip to Oahu to visit a friend, we decided to try the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I am sooo glad that we did. The whole experience was amazing. We did the half day late entry package (upgraded to Ambassador). There is so much to see and learn about the Polynesian Islands and cultures. The dinner was seriously the best food, along with real students at the PCC performing a show during the dinner.

Then the "Ha! Breath of Life" show after dinner was so incredible. The story was great and the performances from all the different polynesian cultures were so wonderful. I cannot stress enough how much I am reccommending you visit the Polynesian Cultural Center and take in everything you can while you are there.

Our tour driver had 20 years experience and was a fantastic person and very knowledgeable. The tour guides that took over at the various sights were top notch.

First time to Hawaii, this definitely was a must see. Our tour guide was very informative, he himself served in the military. He kept us on schedule, we had no long lines to stand in to receive our tickets, our guide received the tickets directly from the booth for our entire group, allowing us to enter promptly. The tour of Pearl Harbor was a very solemn reminder of the cost that has been paid to sustain our nation's freedom. Enjoyed the tour of the USS Missouri, the ship is massive, tour guide did a wonderful job pointing out the facts and point of interests on the ship. The tour of the Pucnchbowl & downtown was just as good. Our guide again shared alot of interesting facts & info. Well worth the time.

I did pay for the tour of back stage but did recive it. other then that it was a great package..

I participated with my 5-year-old daughter. The staff members were very good at Japanese and many were very caring, so my daughter was very satisfied.

It was my first time seeing dolphins and sea turtles up close! I was moved. The performance by the staff and the captain was excellent and fun.

The hula lesson in the great outdoors was also very pleasant and I was very satisfied.

For those worried about seasickness, it seems advisable to bring motion sickness medication.

５歳の娘と二人で参加しました。
スタッフの方々が、日本語が上手でとっても子煩悩な方が多かったので娘も大満足でした。

イルカやウミガメを近くで見たのは初めて！感動しました。
スタッフ＆船長のパフォーマンスの最高で楽しかったです。

大自然のなかのフラのレッスンも気持ちがよくて大満足でした。


船酔いが心配な方は、酔い止め薬は、持参した方がよさそうです。

I had an absolutely fabulous time. I had a personal guide, Stephanie, and she was great. Assisted me when I needed it. Kept my camera and took my picture with everything. II was treated like royalty by her. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the islands. And I would recommend the Super Ambassador tour. I don't have any pictures uploaded yet so cannot include any at this time.

Wow, where do I begin? We enjoyed the PCC alot! We were greeted at the pick up point by positive and pleasent staff. When we boarded the bus we were entertained all the way to the center. Our guide was Cuz Ken and he was very professional and entertaning. The day was full of events starting with lunch and then leading on to a series of islands. Each island had a unique cultrual display of dancing and interaction with the audience. We were busy all day, from 10:30am to 10:30pm. The lunch and dinner were very nicely organized and presented. We were so moved by the evening show "The Breath of Life", we bought the dvd! We would recommend this tour to anyone!

We went on a guided tour arrive at the Cultural Center @ 2pm. That's the way to go if you have limited time and what to navigate the park and catch as many of the mini-shows at each village as possible. Our guide set a leisurely pace, so the group and older folks can stick together.

The food at the luau was medicore. But the village experience and the night show, HA waws great!

The shuttle ride fom Wakiki was informative. It was a wonderful way to explore more of the island on limited time and budget. The Cultural Center was amazing. The staff went above and beyond expectations. The dinner was just average. I expectected a higher quality of food. Did not go back for seconds so I had more time to explore the Cultural Center.

A wish of a lifetime fulfilled. No disappointments here.

The staff was magnificient. The cruise along the sunset waters of Oahu was romantic and picture perfect. Great entertainment and food. We had the 3 star VIP with Dom Perignon. Wonderful night. Perfect for couples. And if you are thinking of Proposing, this itinery is perfect. Alo'ha!!!!

Amazing!!! We had the opportunity to learn about the history and people of Polynesia. Very entertaining and interactive. We had the Super Ambassador package which basically means VIP. We had front row seating to all shows, our own personal guided tour and dvd. Our guide, cousin Spencer went beyond the call of duty to make our experience the most enjoyable time we have ever had. Alo'ha!!!!

Wow! The cruise was wonderful. We bought the 3-star package and the food was excellent, the service was great. Our server was perfect and made us feel pretty special. The show after dinner was top-notch, too, and a lot of fun. We did not cruise as far as we might have, but the weather was not cooperating. Can't help that. The highlight of our Honolulu vacation!

Selected Ambassador package and got a guided tour as part of it. Guide was fine, but we were not able to look around the "villages." Instead, we only went from one presentation to the next, missing portions of some of them, and then it was time for the luau. Interesting, but not outstanding. The facility should open earlier in the day. For the price, you should at least have time to see most of it. Luau food was not particularly good, lunch menu was better, and the "show" during the luau left a lot to be desired. "Ha", the show afterwards was very good, however.

This is the second time we took Capt Bob's cruise, and it was as much fun as the first. The staff is always lots of fun and playful and really care about the customers. They always make sure you have a good time and there is lots to see and do. If you don't want to snorkel, you are welcome to sun bathe on the catamaran, no one forces you to do anything.
The staff answers all questions and it's a very fun afternoon adventure.

My family and i had an amazing time on this trip. The crew is amazing and very welcoming and easy to get along with. Playing water volleyball was interesting but very very fun! I would recomend this tour to anybody who wants to have fun and who wants to see some cool fish.

On our first trip to Hawaii, we found a plan that allowed us to enjoy the beautiful ocean, snorkeling, and sea turtles. On the day we participated, there was a Japanese guide who was very friendly. The crew was also cheerful, making for an exciting sailing experience.

The sandbar was incredibly beautiful, even more so than in photos, and playing volleyball there was the best. Although we didn't speak any English, it was true that "expressions speak louder than words."

There seem to be mixed opinions about the lunch, but the freshly grilled patties in burgers on the boat were fantastic for us. Unfortunately, we didn't encounter any sea turtles while snorkeling, but it was still very appealing, even though it was a bit cold.

Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this activity in terms of price, staff, and content. We were even generous with the tips (laughs). Thank you very much!

初ハワイで、綺麗な海、シュノーケリング、海ガメのを堪能できるプランは・・・と探して決定しました。私たちが参加した日は日本人ガイドさんもいらっしゃって非常に親しみやすかったです。クルーも陽気なメンバーでわくわくするセーリングです。
サンドバーは写真では伝え切れないくらい綺麗ですし、そんなサンドバーにネットを立てて行うバレーボールも最高でした。英語全くな私たちでしたが『表情は言葉以上にものを語る』ですね。
お昼については賛否両論があるようですが、船の上で焼きたてのパテをパンに挟んだハンバーガーは私たちにとってはサイコーでした。
残念ながらシュノーケリングでは海がめには遭遇できませんでしたが、それでも十分に魅力的でした。少し寒かったですが。
トータルで見てこちらのアクティビティは価格面、スタッフ、内容すべてにおいて大満足でした。チップ奮発してまうほどです（笑）
ありがとうございました。

I have been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first experience at a sandbar. Even though it's offshore, the sand made from crushed coral allows you to stand. It's surprising that not only can you stand, but it feels like just the tips of your feet are in the water. Standing in the middle of the ocean is astonishing. I think you may have seen it in TV commercials. Experiencing it in person was incredibly moving. I had fun playing beach volleyball with foreign staff and guests near the sandbar. Since I was the only Japanese participant, I hope more shy Japanese people will join in. We spent 45 minutes on the sandbar. While moving by boat to the snorkeling spot, I saw many green sea turtles coming up to the surface to breathe. It's reassuring that the staff swims with you during snorkeling. A lot of fish came to the bait, making for a fun time. It seems that even first-time snorkelers can enjoy it.

ハワイは何十回も行っていますが、サンドバーへ行ったのは初めての体験でした。サンゴが波で砕けてできた砂が積って居るのは沖合なのに足が立ちます。足が立つどころか足の先だけが海中にある感じで驚きます。海のど真ん中に立っているのは驚きです。テレビのＣＭとかで見たことあると思います。実際に体験するとそれはスゴイ感動モノでした。サンドバーのそばで外国人スタッフの人と海外からのお客さんと一緒にビーチバレーをして楽しみました。日本人はわたし一人だけの参加だったので、引っ込み思案な日本の人たちも参加してほしいなあと思いました。サンドバーでは４５分間上陸していました。シュノーケルする場所へ船で移動してるときは、ミドリウミガメが水面にいっぱい顔を出して息継ぎしている姿がドンドン見れました。シュノーケルの時にはスタッフも一緒に泳いでいるので安心です。餌に魚がイッパイ寄ってきて楽しい時間でした。シュノーケル初体験者も楽しめるようですよ。

I participated in the sandbar for the first time. It takes about 30 minutes by bus from the Waikiki hotel to the Kaneohe pier. After getting off the bus, I transferred to a boat to go. The foreign male staff on the bus shared interesting stories, so I wasn't bored. While on the boat to the sandbar, the staff sang songs for us. There were many foreign participants, but there were also Japanese female staff who provided explanations in Japanese, which was reassuring. When we boarded the boat and saw Chinaman's Hat, we arrived at the sandbar. This time, the water depth was about 20 centimeters. It was fun to play volleyball in the middle of the ocean. For those who were snorkeling for the first time, they allowed practice there. After that, we returned to the boat for lunch. The hamburger for lunch was very delicious. Drinks were also free and unlimited. After that, we moved by boat to another snorkeling spot. During the transfer, we were able to see many turtles, which was enjoyable. When snorkeling, feeding the fish attracted a lot of them, and I was able to swim happily over the coral.

サンドバーに初めて参加しました。
ワイキキホテルからバスでカネオヘの桟橋まで30分ぐらいで到着します。バスを降りて桟橋から船に乗り換えて行きました。バスの中でも外国人男性のスタッフが面白い話をしてくれて退屈しません。船でサンドバーに行く間もスタッフが歌を歌ってくれます。外国人の参加が多いですが日本人女性のスタッフもいますから日本語説明してくれますので安心です。船に乗ってチャイナマンズハットが見えてくるとサンドバーに到着しました。今回は20センチくらいの水深でした。
海の真ん中でバレーボールをしたりと手も楽しいです。
シュノーケルが初めての人はそこで練習もさせてくれます。
その後船に戻ってランチが始まります。
ランチのハンバーガーはとても美味しかったです。
ドリンクも無料で飲み放題でした。
その後またシュノーケルをする場所まで船で移動しました。
移動のときも亀をたくさん見ることができて楽しかったです。シュノーケルは、餌をやるといっぱい魚が寄ってきてサンゴの上を楽しく泳ぐことができました。

.Had a great time with luau and show. We opted for late day entry as we don't walk very much. We saw 2 villages and shows and had a leisurely dinner , time to shop and on to the show. Fabulous. EVERYONE WHO HAS NEVER BEEN TO HAWAII OR HAS BEEN AND NOT SEEN THE SHOW SHOULD ATTEND .
