Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
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.

It was a great experience for the family
Reviewed by: Mike C
It was a great experience for the family and the buffet was amazing. We have been to Hawaii, New Zealand, and Fiji, and the shows were great. didn't expect
that much audience participation, but it made it enjoyable. Would love to go back if we weren't leaving.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort
Perfect in many ways, but not all.
Reviewed by: Neda Juricic
For the most party, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Paradise Cove luau. The best part was the entertainment. We loved the expression of culture and the dancing performances. Our transportation from the hotel to the venue and back was smooth and executed like clockwork. The venue itself was wonderful tool. The beach and the sunset were important part of the whole experience. Our only disappointment was the food. It just wasn't the best. Serving 4 types of protein for dinner felt like trying to please everyone at the expense of quality. The steamed frozen vegetables were no good, neither was the plain white rice. The salad, which also had 3 different pastas (one better tasting would have been enough), was ok.

席は1番前のブロックではありませんでしたが、たまたま目の前が通路で見やすかったです。ファイヤーショーのレベルが高くて、すごかったです。食事はまあまあでしたが充分な内容かと思います。アクティビティはタトゥーがとても並ぶので、やりたい方は会場に着いたらまず並ぶと良いかと思います。

Mauka Warriors Luau - Hawaii's Best Thrilling Fire Knife Dance & Polynesian Show
One of the best Luaus in Hawaii! Had a great time!
Reviewed by: Julie_MC
[Reviewed by HawaiiActivties.com Staff]
I recently attended the Mauka Warriors Luau in Oahu and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the entertainment. Having been to many luaus throughout Hawaii, I can say that Mauka Luau stands out with its unique and special show. The Thrilling Fire Knife Dancing was the best and most impressive on the entire island!
In my opinion, what makes Mauka Luau truly distinctive is its interactive experience and engaging storytelling, The mesmerizing hula and fire performances narrate fascinating stories of the islands' history
Before the dinner and luau show, there is a great variety of different hands-on Polynesian activities to enjoy.
While the buffet might not have the widest variety compared to other luaus, the food at Mauka Luau is incredibly tasty and presented beautifully.
The venue itself offers stunning mountain and ocean views of Waikiki and Honolulu, and if you look carefully, you can even catch a glimpse of Diamond Head in the distance. They strive to offer a more intimate setting and there is plenty of space in between the tables, so you don't feel crowded.
Transportation from Waikiki is available, making it convenient for guests, and the prices are affordable, offering excellent value for the experience you receive at the Luau. Plus, all guests receive complimentary professional photos sent directly to their phones, which is a nice touch.
I highly recommend checking it out!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Learned about 1,000 percent more about the islands than we had known!
Reviewed by: Simon Way
Every single presentation was excellent! Kap on the Samoan stage was fabulous, entertaining and funny! Great artwork too. Enjoyed the Fiji one also, especially noting that the missionaries led them to Christ and then their idols were torn down! Learned about ancestral New Zealand which I didn’t know the name of, bur I do now! While we did not really have a guide as expected, there were always people to show us the next move when we appeared lost! The luau was good, our first ever. And enjoyed hearing the music of Wahine Elua - very good!
The theater production after the Luau was impressive too! Super talent on display, especially the spectacular fire dancer and her team! WOW!

To begin- we loved that they offered complimentary pictures at entry, they sent them directly to our phone for FREE, other tourist areas always charge for pictures.
The food buffet had a variety of options from chicken, fish, and pork. The food was tasty. Our tickets came with a drink ticket and we enjoyed a mai tai.
The performances were we'll coordinate, we loved the fire show, the hula dances, everything! I would definitely come back for another show. Employees were helpful, informative, and very kind!
