After all, this tour is primarily based around a trip to a cemetary. There really isn't that much to see of the Arizona itself, just some shadows underwater really. As I mentioned though, this is a little different to your average tourism spot, no "ooooh's and ahhhh's for the spectacular at the Arizona Monument.
The battleship Missouri is quite impressive though, the tour around the boat itself is quite interesting and is very much worth a look.
The city and punchbowl tour really isn't much at all. You basically drive in and out through the city, that's the tour pretty much. The Punchbowl Cemetary is a three minute detour and probably really isn't woth the bother for what you see there.

I would definately recommend the twilight package. Some of the villages are closed and there is not enough time to do EVERYTHING there is to do, but I could not see staying there all day. The best part is the Horizon's night show; this is FANTASTIC and definately worth it. I feel that the cost is a little high, but it's vacation and this an experience you won't get elsewhere.

This was the second luau that I've attended...it was very good and comparable to the first...the events going on in addition to the luau were an added bonus. Highly recommend upgrading it as we did, we were served our food instead of standing in line, we received a photo that they took at the beginning and the drinks were top of the line. We had front row seating! Made it SO much better for taking photos and viewing the performers! SO glad we upgraded it...worth the extra money :)

Several years ago, I went to a Hawaiian Luau...we ate dinner and watched a show...it was alright. PARADISE COVE LUAU was so much more! I loved it! Before dinner, there were several activities we could enjoy, as we drank our "welcome drink" or used our coupons to have some additional pre-dinner drinks. Activities included: canoe rides, spear-throwing, tatooing, flowered headband/bracelet making, poi practice, and dance lessons. The beach and sunset was beautiful. Negatives: Dinner was okay...my boyfriend liked it, but I'm a little more picky... Some (most) of the drinks required more than just a drink coupon (ie. "one coupon plus $3)...kind of misleading.
Overall, I totally recommend this Luau experience!

This was our second time and again thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Food was good. Staff/students were quite helpful and the performers were certainly talented. Our driver was prompt, knowledgeable and went out of his way to be attentive. We definitely recommend this to families of all ages.

We had purchased the deluxe package. Our seats were in front of the stage and we had meal service instead of having to go through the buffet line. There were plenty of activities to do prior to the show. The show was great with the fire show being the best. The meal was ok not great. Overall we had a great time and would go back.

I took my girlfriend to this dinner cruise cuz I heard great things about it. It def. met my expectation, but I wish I had more money to do 5star. We did three star, and it was still good, but if you are really into that person you are with, you should do 5 star (no offense to my gf... next time...) i had a chance to peek the top floor, and it looked really nice inside. Neverthless, we enjoyed ourselves very much. Thanks!

My wife and I were disappointed with the buffet that was served. We were expecting traditional Hawaiian food like Kalua pig - but ended up with chicken. On a more positive note, the Polynesian dancing was good.

This has been our third luau. We have been to a luau in Kona and the Old Lahaina Luau. This year my family and I decided to attend the luau at the Polynesian center since we had heard so much of it. Unfortunately, we were not impressed and actually disappointed. We were treated better at the other two luau's, such as free alcohol drinks and hospitality overall. Your dinner was good, and the waitress attended us well. We were disappoin- ted with the show. I felt I was watching a Las Vegas show and not a cultural, narrative, Polynesian history show. My family and I love to see the grass skirt dances and you had very little of it. We also did not like the auditorium ambiance and everyone running to get ice cream.

I apologize for the delay in my post. In March, my husband, my daughter (who is 8 years old), and I participated in the snorkeling activity. It was our first time snorkeling, so we were a bit scared until we got used to it. The staff kindly pushed us from behind to help us swim and took us to great spots. They were also very kind to my daughter on the boat, and I was really touched by the staff's thoughtful care. When dolphins swam very close, I got distracted by my daughter and hurriedly dove in, and we were able to see a group of dolphins. My husband was thrilled to see them up close. We also got to see small fish and turtle eggs. Since it was whale season, we were excited to see whales swimming gracefully and even witnessed a whale jump. I definitely want to participate again when we visit Hawaii. Thank you very much!
ずいぶんおくれての書き込みで失礼致します 3月に主人 私 娘8歳の3人で参加させていただきました シュノーケルは私と娘は初めてでしたので 慣れるまでは少し怖かったのですが なかなか前に進めない私たちを後ろから押して泳いでくださり いいポイントまで連れて行ってくださったり 船の上でも子供にもとても親切にしていただき スタッフの皆さんの優しい心遣いがとてもうれしかったです イルカがとても近くを泳いでいるときに娘に気をとられていて あわててもぐり イルカの群れを見れました 主人はとても近くで見れたと大喜びしていました 小さな魚や海亀のたまごも見ることができました そして 鯨の時期でもあったので 鯨がゆうゆうと泳ぐ姿 鯨ジャンプまで見れ興奮しました またハワイに行った際には 是非参加させていただきたいと思っています ありがとうございました

We found the experience a total refreshment. From the loading on the ship to the disembarking, the personal attention to our needs was delightful. We found the food to be excellent. The only down side we found was their taste in music, but to each his/her own.
We found the Vow Renewal part not as exciting as anticipated but well worth the expense.

Firstly,at best my partner is a moderate swimmer, so she really isn't confident in the water.
We booked a 4 hour kayaking activity with some apprehension. I can honestly say it was the best day of our holiday.
Not only because Lanakai beach was fantastic but mainly because of the young staff, like Andy and Nick our guides. The staff don't wrap you up in cotton wool. They are young, laid back but professional if needed and full of local knowledge.
Super, super day. Many thanks. Mandy and Mark (UK)
