All Reviews for Dinner Experiences in Oahu

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!

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

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

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).

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.

The sunset before boarding the ship was also moving. I ended up getting seasick, which made it impossible for my girlfriend to enjoy the fireworks. I'm sorry, as the fireworks must have been amazing.

船に乗る前の夕日も感動です。船酔いをしてしまい彼女に花火どころではない状況を作らせてしまいました。花火は最高だったはずなのにごめんなさい。

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.

Since I participated on the day I arrived in Hawaii, I thought I might be overwhelmed by sleepiness, but time flew by in no time. When I arrived at the meeting time, I first received a brief orientation, and while walking, I encountered someone who looked so much like Michael that two people couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" In the excitement, we took a commemorative photo with him (we took the photo not in the room but along the way). Later, we received a set of photos featuring Michael, Gaga, and Presley as a gift. Before the excitement wore off, we arrived at the green room. It was a very luxurious space where we first enjoyed drinks, appetizers, fruits, and nuts while taking a short break.

After a while, we were guided backstage. We were shown areas that are usually off-limits to the audience, along with explanations of props and stage equipment, and we even got to handle some of them. It was a very enjoyable time taking photos on stage. All explanations were in English, but they were delivered slowly with gestures, so I think it was easy to understand.

Finally, it was time for dinner. Our seats were right in the front and center. I expected large American-sized portions of meat, but we were served lobster, followed by steak and salmon, all of which were very delicious. The dessert cake might have been a bit too sweet.

The long-awaited show began, and Presley greeted the audience with handshakes and hugs, bringing smiles to everyone. With Gaga and Michael appearing, the excitement level rose. Of course, aside from the three of them, we were mesmerized by the hula dance and thrilled by the fire dance, and once again, time flew by. But that wasn't the end. After the show, Michael, Gaga, and Presley came out for commemorative photos and autographs. We received their signatures in the album we were gifted, and it ended in a mix of emotion and excitement.

My friends said they definitely want to participate next time. Of course, we are also looking forward to the next opportunity. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

ハワイ到着した日に参加したので睡魔が襲ってくるかと思いきやあっという間に過ぎてしまいました。集合時間に行くとまず簡単な案内をうけながら歩いていると「キャー」と二人が声を出してしまうほど似ていたマイケルに出会いました。興奮の中三人での記念撮影（私たちは部屋でなく途中で撮影でした）あとでマイケル、ガガ、プレスリーの三人の写真とセットにしてプレゼントされます。興奮さめない間にグリーンルームに到着。とても豪華な部屋でまずドリンク、オードブル、フルーツ、ナッツ等つまんでしばし休憩。
しばらくするとバックステージに案内されます。普段立ち入れない出演者の部屋や小物類、大道具、小道具の説明があり実際に手に取ることが出来たり舞台の上で写真を撮りとても楽しい時間でした。すべて英語での説明になりますがゆっくりと手ぶりを混ぜながらですのでわかりやすいかと思います。
いよいよディナー。案内された席は最前のど真ん中。食事もアメリカサイズの大きな肉の塊が出るかと思ったらロブスター、次にステーキとサーモンがでてとても美味しくいただきました。デザートのケーキはやや甘かったかも。
待ちに待ったショーが始まりまずプレスリーが観客に握手やハグでみんなが笑顔。ガガ、マイケルが出てテンションもアップ。もちろん三人以外にフラダンスにうっとり、ファイヤーダンスにハラハラドキドキしまたまたあっという間に時間は過ぎていきました。でもこれで終わりではないです。最後にショー終了後マイケル、ガガ、プレスリーが記念写真やサインに応えてくれます。プレゼントされたアルバムに三人のサインをいただき感動と興奮の中終わりました。
友達も次回はぜひ参加したいと。もちろん私たちも次回またありです。
楽しい夜をありがとうございました。

this cruise was bueatiful simple and just perfect. it was tight on space though. overall vary happy :-D

If you like Presley, Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Gaga, I highly recommend you see and enjoy this! I signed up for the Hawaiian buffet dinner & show, so it includes a meal. The food was delicious and catered to Japanese tastes. During the meal, they also show Hawaiian songs and hula dancing. The show, featuring Hawaiian music, dance, and songs from famous singers, was fantastic! I would love to see it again if I have the chance!

プレスリー、マイケルジャクソン、マドンナ、ガガをお好きな方には是非見て、楽しんでいただきたいです。（ハワイアンビュッフェディナー＆ショー）を申し込みましたので食事付です。食事も日本人向きの美味しいご馳走でした。食事中もハワイの歌やフラダンスを見せてくれます。ショーはハワイの音楽と踊り、有名歌手の歌で最高でした！機会があればもう１度見たいです！！

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。

Since there is no shuttle service for the tour, I rented a Harley with a rental bike the day before and set off from the local area. In a country where helmets are not required, I enjoyed the freedom with a bandana and sunglasses while heading to the ranch. I wish this could be included in the tour as well!

This morning, it was just the four of us in a private session, and most of the preparations for horseback riding were already done. The horses, saddled and ready, lined up to greet us. The staff, consisting of friendly cowboys and cowgirls, assisted us, and since they could speak a little Japanese, the process was smooth.

The horse assigned to me was named Cowboy, and all the horses were well-trained and adorable. The horseback riding was quite hands-off, so beginners might feel a bit confused without an experienced rider accompanying them. It's common knowledge that the handling of reins is the opposite of Japan, so if you understand that, you can ride fairly freely, which made it a lot of fun for us.

We rode for 90 minutes, climbing steep, unmarked slopes and traversing a varied ranch landscape. It was very satisfying. However, I wished we could have been taken to a spot with a better ocean view at the top of the mountain, which is the only reason I’m giving it four stars.

I plan to choose this place for horseback riding again next time, but I think I will negotiate before riding. It was a lot of fun.

送迎の無いツアーなので、前日よりレンタルバイクでハーレーを借り現地出発
ヘルメットの要らない国なので、バンダナサングラスで開放感満喫しながら牧場目指して
ドドドドド！ （これもツアーに含めてくれればと思います）

今日の午前中は自分達４人だけの貸切状態で、乗馬の支度は殆どおわっており
鞍スタンバイの馬たちが、並んでお出迎え
スタッフも笑顔が素敵なカーボウイとカウガールが対応してくれて、日本語も片言で喋れる人達なので手続きもスムーズでした。

自分のあてがわれた馬は名前はカウボーイ、どの馬もよく教育されていて可愛かった
乗馬はかなり放任型で、初心者は経験者同伴じゃないと少し戸惑うかも
日本と手綱の扱いが逆なのも海外乗馬は常識なので、分かっていれば逆に
ある程度は自由に乗せてくれるので、自分達は凄く楽しかったです。

道無き急斜面を上ったり、起伏に富んだ牧場を９０分かけての乗馬
のりごたえ満点です。
ただ、山の上でもう少しオーシャンビューなところに案内してもらいたかったかな
と、そこだけが残念で星４つです。

次回も乗馬はここに決定のつもりですが、乗る前に交渉してみようと思っています。
楽しかったです。

My fiancé and I went on the Snorkel and Sunset cruise the second week of November. The bus pick-up was extremely easy and allowed for worry-free drinks on the cruise.

The cruise was spectacular. The orientation was clear and made us both feel comfortable. The snorkel spot selected was stunning and quite safe feeling. We saw many tropical fish and even had a ray breeze past! We spotted a humpback whale breaching and so the captain took us on over for a closer look.

The Kalua pork was tasty for dinner and the crew went out of their way to make sure we were all satisfied. We were treated to a beautiful sunset and leisurely cruise back to harbor.

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!

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!

I had seen it once a few years ago, but I participated this time because I heard the content had been renewed. Unlike last time, it included not only songs but also hula, making the experience fulfilling and enjoyable. After the performance, I was able to take photos with the performers in the lobby, which made for a great keepsake.

何年か前に一度見たことがあったが、内容がリニューアルしたとの事なので参加。
前回と違い歌だけでなくフラ等も取り入れていて、内容が充実しており十分に楽しめた。
終演後のロビーでの出演者との撮影も気軽に取ってもらい、良い記念になった。

Let me start off by saying I NEVER post reviews...which I need to work on because I am always checking them out before I do/buy things. This was my boyfriend & I first trip to Hawaii so we were very excited! We chose the Five Star package because of the jazz music (we attended a luau the night before & did not want to have the same theme).

They picked us up from our hotel at 4:30 pm. From the very beginning we were treated like VIP. We were led to the top deck to have champagne & o'dourves with the captain. We also got to take a professional pic with the captain, which was cool. After that, we were led to our seat inside the ship. We had a window seat & loved it. We were a little worried about getting seasick, but it wasn't a problem. I was a little concerned about the food at first because neither one of us are into fancy food, but it was pretty good (as stated before we chose that package specifically for the music). Instead of the lobster we chose a stuffed chicken option which was my favorite! For our steak entree we asked that it was cooked well done & it was the most tender steak ever! Throughout the dinner you can step outside as you please to feel the breeze, take in the views, & take pics.

The ambiance was beautiful! There was a live pianist, saxophonist/flutist, & singer. They were great! In the end they gave us the photo we took with the captain in a nice album cover with a pic of the ship on the water. Also, all of the ladies were given a rose. The only thing I WISH I would have did was asked for another copy of the photo so my boyfriend & I can both have one :-( I didn't even think about it until we returned back to our home state. I called 3 days later to see if we could get a copy; they sent an email to the photo dept. but almost 2 weeks later & I still haven't heard anything.

Overall, I highly recommend! This is perfect for a romantic date night! The cruise lasted about 2 hrs. This was a great way to end our trip in Hawaii.

Wow. I learned so much. All the staff are so friendly. The luau was good but the show "breathe" was stunning!!!! We weren't going to stay but the staff told us it was the best part and I have to agree. Well worth the drive and cost!

The cruise was awesome!!! The food was great. The staff we had took such good care of us. The entertainment was off the hook at the end.

Food was good, view was fantastic, crew was very helpful and entertaining! Fun way to spend an evening!

The service was great. Outstanding staff that was very professional and courteous. I would DEFINITELY recommend this service if you're looking for a special evening.

We had fun and lots of interaction with performers. Chief is super. Great Shows, food and location
