Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Cultural center
Reviewed by: Mary
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!

期待していましたが・・・
Reviewed by: 家族で
ウエルカムドリンクは早くから作りすぎて氷で薄まってまずい。バスガイドは、やたらと エブリワン セイ って、何回も。ご他聞に漏れず 日本人は私達だけでした。ショーーはやたら合間に歌や語りが入り、ショー自体も短くて あっという間に終わりました。ポリネシアンの方がよいです。ポリネシアンは長くすぎるので、子連れにはこちらがおすすめかも。ビュッフェも まあこんなもんかと、美味しくはないです お酒も甘いカクテルのようなものばかりだし、 日本人には あまり受けないのがよくわかります。ですが、景色はハワイで一番です 夕日がとてもきれいです。景色のおかげで まあ、怒らず帰りました。リピはないです。

Paradise Cove Luau Deluxe Package a must do...
Reviewed by: Mike & Jess Simpson
My wife and I had a great time at the Luau. We booked early and mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary. We had booked the Deluxe package. Well we were greeted and received a lei and then escorted to our seats. He informed us of the activities and presented us with drink tickets and vouchers to buy at their store. We then took a canoe ride, took pictures with the exotic birds, checked out the Lei making. By this time we went to get drinks and noticed the marque scrolling and saw our names wishing us a Happy Anniversary it made my wife happy. They then called everyone over and the pig was dug up for everyone to see and smell as they paraded it by everyone. We then sat down and had dinner served to us. What a great meal and then the show began it was a great show even the audience members were picked and got envolved. All in all a good time had by all.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
The best time ever!
Reviewed by: vanessa
As our first time in Hawaii, we couldn't have asked for a better host/guide than Cousin Mo! He kept us laughing and entertained the whole way there and back! As soon as we arrived we were greeted with a flower lei and a kukui nut lei. As we entered we were offered a Mai Tai and the option to take a photo with a hula girl/fire dancer. As you go in you see this breathtaking view overlooking the ocean. And there's so many activities to do, so you're never bored. Than right before the meal you're entertained by hula dancers while two men pull the feast pig from underground who than walk around displaying the pig. As recommended we mixed the "Poi" with soy sauce and ate it with the pulled pork; So delicious! During the meal we were entertained with music, dancers and a fire show. The ride back home was just as entertaining, as I said, thanks to Cousin Mo I will always think of him when i hear Whitney Houston. Definitely would recommend the Deluxe package! The best time ever!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Most Amazing cultural Day Out
Reviewed by: Mrs Manga
If you love learning about history, culture and origins then this is the day trip for you. From the smiling and informative tour guide and coach driver down to the guest. Services staff. Everybody had a smile on their faces and they were there to be of assistance at all times.
Our tour guide 'Cousin Mitch' was extremely informative and kept my 6 year old daughter entertained. He got us to all the shows and events on time we didn't miss a thing.
The centre is full of vibrant colours and rich history and watching all the island dances during the boat pagent was amazing.
It was a long day topped off by the amazing evening show which truly took my breath away, was well worth it

最高！！！
Reviewed by: こうちゅん
友達と二人参加でした。
日本人が、私たちしかいなく最初不安になりましたが、なんの問題も有りませんでした。
行きのバスは、観光付きの送迎のようで、多少英語が分かれば楽しめます。
ハワイアンショーも今まで色々のもの見てますが、かなり楽しいです。
夕方からの参加で、程よい９時頃ホテルに戻れるのも魅力です。
夕方から予定がないなら、ぜひいったほうがいいですよ。

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Amazing food and show
Reviewed by: Annie
We had an awesome driver named Allen who was hauling his way to get to the Polynesian cultural center even through the pouring rain. Even though we purchased the late night entry, we still had a great time with our tour guide and was able to go to a few of the more larger exhibits. Each land has their own exhibit, or a mini show varying from 15-30 minutes. My favorite was the Samoas. The dinner was a buffet style luau with the hula girls and boys, and the children. Half day is more than enough time to go through the park. There was also a canoe ride that operates every 15 min but we missed it since we were the last wave to enter the park. The show at the end called HA, the breathe of life was an amazing show!

99%は外人さんです
Reviewed by: たけうち ひろたか
過去の書き込みを見ますと外人率が高いって書き込みがありますが、本当にその通りでした。
送迎バスの中でも、現地でもアウェー感ハンパありません（笑）お客の99%は外人さんです。諦めて下さい。
ガイドさんが何を言っているのか、なぜ皆んな盛り上がっているのかチンプンカンプンでしたが勢いで楽しんできました。
帰りのバスの号車と思われる番号を何度も繰り返し話しているので、それさえ聞きそびれなければちゃんとワイキキに戻って来る事は出来ます。
マイタイを受け取り、入り口でマッチョなお兄さんと綺麗なお姉さんに挟まれ写真を
撮ります。デラックスコースは、料金に含まれてますので、最高の笑顔で写りましょう。
会場内に入ると、席の案内をされます。その後、ショーが始まるまでは席でのんびりアルコールを楽しむも良し、色々な催しを見て楽しむも良しです。
会場内での支払に使えるカードを渡されますので、飲み物代お土産代に使って下さい。
ショー自体のレベルは、まぁどこも同じくらいなのかな？って感じです。日本人を対象として無いので日本語は殆どありませんでした。それでも伝統あるフラショーを見たいって方は、是非ここに限らずルアウしょーに行かれてはいかがかと思います。
食べ物は食べきれ無いほど出されます。デラックスコースは、スタッフが配膳してくれますので何のしんぱいも要りません。他の方はバイキング形式になります。
甘々デサートまで完食して大満足なルアウショーでした。
やはりこの手のものは日本人よりもパーティ慣れしている外人さんの方が一枚も二枚も上手でした。

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Fun luau!
Reviewed by: Jonathan W.
This is the only luau I have attended, but I can't imagine one being more enjoyable than this one. The pick-up service was right on time at the scheduled location and the drive over to Sea Life Park was quick considering the time of departure. The pre-dinner activities were fun and I picked up a piece of local artwork from a vendor that has become my favorite Hawaiian collectible. Dinner was very good and I'm still thinking of how yummy the coconut cake was! Chief was very entertaining and the other performers really put their native pride into the show. I would certainly recommend this luau experience!

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
There is reason why it's called Chief
Reviewed by: Jaybird
I am a native Hawaiian so I know my way around a luau. I was home visiting family and decided to take my wife and kids to Chief's Luau at Sea Life Park Hawaii. I must say it was THE BEST luau I have ever been to. The food was excellent as I usually go to a luau for the food first and show second. The show was even better as Chief was the perfect showman with talent to burn. Speaking of burn, the fire dancers were simply AMAZING!! The entire show was dazzling as each Polynesian country were represented in true artistry. What an amazing show with some of the most delicious authentic Hawaiian food I have ever tasted. My only complaint, and its a small one, is that there was no haupia for dessert.

The luau was not very good. We were sent there 2 hours before the luau and the activities prior were not alot of fun and too many people to even enjoy. Should have offered some kind of appetizer, but they were trying to get you to buy snacks and drinks. The food was ok. The only thing really good was the pork. Show was ok, but a little hokie. This luau is not what I was expecting.

Such an awesome day :)
Reviewed by: Laura
So I bought the super ambassadors package which bode well for me, considering the 42 acre mass of land the PCC is situated on! As a wheelchair user, probably not the best thing to be doing that on my own! (However massive my biceps may become!)
Everything from the bus ride there with narration from Cousin Nox to the personalised friendly tour guide Jarom who was a fountain of knowledge and super nice guy - was an incredible experience. That's just the customer service! The site itself was beautiful, plentiful in scenic, educational and picturesque landscapes, with presentations that made you laugh, applaud stamp you feet and clap you hands!
Hands down a great tour and an incredible luau and show to end the night! I was fortunate to go backstage before the show and meet someone of the cast - what a lovely bunch! And to see them in action and knowing their complete and genuine appreciation for U.S. tourists being there, made the show even more spectular and the experience that much more worth while.
For sure, I didn't see everything, and I'd definitely go back, especially for another canoe ride! Was so amazed at the level of attention and willingness that was about when I wanted to row the canoe and participate in activities like that.#SuperAccommodating
Truly a wonderful and amazing experience I'll never forget xD

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
My first luau
Reviewed by: Mahalo
Paradise Cove Luau was a great cultural experience. There were many activities that got you involved with the Hawaii culture. Some of my favorites where the spear throwing, lei making, and the canoe rides in the cove. They also had special events that taught you a little bit about the Hawaiian history, like old fashion ways of fishing. The food at Paradise Cove could have had a better selection, but their fried chicken and mixed drinks were phenomenal. When it came time for the dinner show I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I definitely enjoyed the out come. The show was beautiful and told multiple stories of native legends. The costumes and stage props were extravagant and made me feel as if I was in paradise. I personally wished the show was a little bit longer but it was a great show. I would recommenced that families take their young children to watch this show because not only is it fun to watch, but its also very engaging, and can be educational.
