Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
The show is amazing.
Reviewed by: Jerelyn
The show was great. It highlights the cultures of different Polynesian groups. We sign up for a tour guide inside the cultural center. It helps us schedule our activities for the whole day stay over there. The tour guides are students from their university. They are amazing. I can recommend this tour for families. The dinner buffet is sumptuous.

Toa Luau Authentic Polynesian Dinner Show & Admission to Waimea Valley [5:00 PM]
Luau Experience
Reviewed by: Keyolfson
Our family thoroughly enjoyed the Waimea Valley Luau!
The pre activities were so fun; my son (23 years old) participated in the coconut opening and the palm head cover. He totally embraced the moment.
The area was beautiful! We did the falls and the gardens first.
The drinks were quite festive, and the food was awesome.
The “show” was engaging; I loved the music and dance. And, the fire was very impressive!
I would highly recommend this experience!

Polynesian Cultural Center!
Reviewed by: Gregory
The experience was awesome! We got to learn and experience a lot of what the native Polynesian cultures were like. Many of the staff are actually university students who help fund most of their education through working here so that is nice to know.
The Buffet was the biggest Buffet hall and selection that I have ever seen- there was live music too and it was all just beautiful. The food was really good too!
The Fire Dance show was just an amazing performance. All the people responsible for making this were so skilled. It looked like everyone was having a great time.

The best thing we did in Hawaii
Reviewed by: Maung
Anyone who plans to visit Hawaii must see the show- Breath of life. It’s one hr thirty minutes long but it’s worth every minute of it.
The Gateaway buffet has plenty of dishes to offer and we had like 2:30hr to savor the food. My favorite was Tuna Sashimi, cut fresh from a fish on display. Every station has four different varieties of dish.
The villages are fantastic. Each one is unique in terms of activities and entertainment. Staff were mainly Uni students.
I have 5 star rating to PCC.

It is like entering the Disneyland of Polynesian culture!
Reviewed by: Dee
Amazing and warm welcoming staff on every corner; the performances are top notch, we were entertained to a great FINALE show, Buffet Dinner was overwhelming!
We loved and enjoyed learning a lot of things about the Polynesian culture! All the performances were just by fat the best. I love the activities in each country that you can participate in, hands on and fun too!
My son is a typical “everything boring” esp by the wnd of the day, but as soon as the lights went off for the “HA” show he was mesmerized and totally enjoyed it.
We wanted to experience the LUAU dinner but I think we did not look through good enough with the package we bought. Buffet Dinner was not bad at all…just missed seeing a traditional lu’au
Next time!

We enjoyed Toa Luau so much! Our children, 2 & 4, had a wonderful time as well. The cast/crew are the same people running the activities before the meal, and serving the meal, then putting on a great show - their hard work and enthusiasm is inspiring <3 I noticed their attention to detail in how smoothly the check-in, meal, and all the transitions went. Highly recommend!

Best Day Ever!
Reviewed by: Masterson
There was so much to see and do. We thoroughly enjoyed the demonstrations and musical presentations. We learned how to make poi, husk coconuts, and weave palm fronds, among other things. The dinner buffet was the best ever, with so much variety in the wide range of menu items. The theater presentation “The Breath of Life” was outstanding! Kudos to all the young university students who work so hard to provide such a unique cultural experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming. This was our second visit (previous one was in 1986) and we were not disappointed. We would return again in a heartbeat!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Glorious Day!
Reviewed by: Stuart and Susan
The reservations are easy - and complete. I was still recuperating from a surgery, so we secured a mobility cart, which is right at the entrance to the Polynesian Cultural Center. The bus picks up from several points in Waikiki; it is comfortable and also waiting right at the entrance-exit after the show is over. The day is extraordinary - the staff is so friendly and helpful, as we asked questions at the various Islands. There is a river cruise you can take - the Center is 40 square miles (think Disneyland) so prepare your walking shoes and attire accordingly. Terrific shopping before the Center actually opens. Take a poncho, because there is a lot of rain on that side of the island - rains quickly, dries quickly.
The buffet is amazing and delicious, and a real bargain if you're feeding starving teens! The show is exquisite. They help park the mobility cart everywhere, so if you have mobility issues - worry not!
Enjoy as much as we did!

Wonderful Experience!
Reviewed by: TravelGoddess
[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]
On March 15th, 2024, I went to PCC and participated in the Gateway Buffet package. This experience included admission to the park, buffet, and show. Each village was unique, and educational. The canoe ride was my favorite part of the park, a must do!
The buffet dinner was INCREDIBLE, they had everything you could imagine. From salad, sides, pork, chicken, beef, seafood, and dessert. The presentation of the food, and dinning hall felt like something out of a movie! They really set the scene for local cuisine.
'HA: Breath of Life,' show was spectacular a must see! The dancers were truly amazing! I would definitely go see it again and again. Everything about PCC was so professional, engaging, fun, and educational. There is something for the whole family.
I would recommend PCC to anyone who enjoys learning about different cultures, and has a full day to spend away from Waikiki.

Reviewed by: Destiny Paine
This was a full day activity. We stared on the canoe amd ended the one end. Walked to each village. At each village they are very informative on their culture. They have activities you can participate in or just watch their 15-20 min skits. The journey movies was quite amazing but moves a lot, but worth it. The buffet was absolutely the best I've ever been to! So much food to choose from. Plus there was live entertainment. We also stayed for the breath of life show, which was spectacular. Goosebumps for sure.

Fascinating to learn about different island cultures through dance, music, games and food. The fact the performers are from those islands amazed me. They are so proud of their island and culture and language. Wish I could go back a second day ( or open earlier) so I could see and play all the games.

Polynesian Centre
Reviewed by: Jeanne
We enjoyed our excursion from the bus ride to the Polynesian Centre to the bus ride back to our hotel. Our driver's name was Misi! He went above and beyond what was expected of him.
The walk through the Centre was incredible. Seeing the different islands and cultures. We took a canoe ride after walking around for about 4 hours. It was a welcome relief getting of our feet.
Our tickets included the dinner buffet. There was so much food to choose from which made it difficult to try everything. It was good.
After dinner we watched the The Breath of Life which was incredibly good. The performance was amazing. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day.

Fun filled day was more than we expected
Reviewed by: TurtleCouple
The Cultural Center Island tour was full of amazing and helpful hosts and entertainers. I have never felt more welcome by so many people. To temper a few expectations some of the activities we expected to be interactive were instead demos by professionals only but we still had a blast doing the many activities that do allow participation and those alone filled a very full day of exploring the islands.
The Buffet was delicious had more foods than we could fit and incredibly welcoming atmosphere.
The HA Breath of life show was an amazing experience and some of the best fire spinning and hula and so much more you will get to see in Hawaii
Be warned: the gap of time between the closing of the cultural center and the opening for the final show is quite long (they do warn you about his on the bus and offer an early exit at 6pm if you decide before 4pm that you wont have the energy) but with that said it was well worth it and we were glad we stayed for the full show.
