What an amazing time at Polynesian Cultural Center. Everyone was so nice. All the shows were top notch and very entertaining. The food at the luau was very good despite reading prior reviews, we thought it was terrific. The "Ha breath of life" show was very entertaining and had us on the edge of our seats. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen the show. The dancers and story tellers are so talented. A definite MUST see on your trip to Oahu. Kudos to everyone at the center especially the dancers and entertainers

I have gone many times with family and friends so they can enjoy as I did my first time.mmalways great day this time also, as Iwe had private tour guide which was amazing. Reason for one star down is that I paid for mini bus and was transported in large coach which less personal. I admit we had a great driver. Funny informable about trip and culture center. I did pay extra for mini so think I deserve refund for that upgrade.

The show was great. But the food was not. The whole tour was way too long. If I were you, I would go just for the night show. You won't be regret!

It has been a beautiful night, with a very normal dinner, nothing special for the price, with a beautiful show at the end. My disappointment was because I paid for a Royal seating and the seating was not good at all. I had to stand up and sit on the ground to have a beatiful view and I also didn't get the lei. But all the staff people were really very kind and I enjoyed the traditional dances and the fire knives dance.

少し寒かったですが寒いからゾクゾクしたのではありません。戦いに挑むような男らしいダンス・パフォーマンスに魂からのゾクゾク感がありました。語学不足は自分の精なので仕方ないですがわからないなりに楽しめるものです。魂で感じてみては?

Everything was just perfect! I had the super Ambassador package with a private guide and I really felt privileged and I enjoyed the culture and traditions of the Polynesian people. Every show, every cultural event was organized with great respect and love for the Polynesian natives. I had a dip in the full life of seven similar, but very different, traditions, culminating in the wonderful final show: Ha, a breath of life! I also appreciated the fact that the Polynesian Center is carried out by students of the various islands and that our contribution is to support their studies. This is a great way to spread culture! MAHALO!
Special thanks to Clifton, my personal guide. He is a good hearted boy with a deep feeling for his culture and a deep respect for other people.

We enjoyed the luau so much! We even got to see several whale breeches in the ocean behind the stage just before the show began. BONUS! Seeing the dancers and all that talent on stage was a great way to spend our evening.
Dinner was good, show was fun and the setting and the way the involved everyone made it that much more fun.

The deluxe package is fantastic. It's pricey but well worth the investment. We had three children with us and the seating was stage side. A great view for the children. The activities were great for our children and the Lava flows were great sipping while they were having fun. The meal was served to us by waitresses and the show was wonderful. We have been to the Polynesian cultural center for their deluxe luau and show and these two luaus were very comparable. Food selection was wider@ the cultural center but the shows were phenomenal. The seating was front row but set back further from stage@ the cultural center but still was entertaining. The kids really enjoyed the fire dance and to see it up close was a treat for all of us. Overall this is a great choice for a luau and the food was good.

アウラニに泊まっていたので、本格的なルアウを見たいと徒歩で向かいました。
全てのアクティビティが英語で進行するのはわかっていましたが、こちらが会話ができるレベルではないことを知ると、面倒くさそうにした上に、思いっきり悪口を言っており(会話はできなくとも、ヒアリングはできるため)人にもよるとは思いますがキャストの態度は最悪でした。
ショーが始まる前にもタトゥーをペイントしたり、ブレスレットを作ったりできますが、やや時間を持て余ます感がありました。
デラックスタイプにしていたので$20?24くらいのギフトカードがついていましたが、飲み物も何杯も飲めないので、売店に行きましたが、購買意欲があまり沸かない商品が陳列してあり、ショーが終わって団体専用のバスが出てしまうと早々に店じまいしてしまうので、早めに商品にしてしまうのがお勧めです。結局私は$15ほど使えずに終わってしまいました。
ショーの内容はすばらしかったですが、食事はまぁ、こんなもんかといった感想です。
もう1度行くか・・・というと、正直わかりません。

We looked around at a lot of luaus but then we luckily got recommended for chiefs from our front desk lady. The food was amazing, the stuff before was a lot of fun. The show was incredible and the chief was a blast and very funny! Would defiantly recommend it to anyone looking for a great luau at a pretty good price!

This is our third time going to jParadise Cove Luau over the years and I enjoy it so much. I have been to other ones and feel Paradise is the best. My daughters and family also feel the same when we went together. The show is always outstanding and the food to die for. All the people working for Paradise Cove are wonderful and so helpful.
I will tell my other friends about it and my next trip to Hawaii I will return.

Great time had. I only wish I would have upgraded seating. The standard seats were good, but surrounding people talked way too much during the show. No fault of the luau by any means. Just a lack of common consideration by a handful of inconsiderate people. It could have happened anywhere and our family was able to move to avoid them.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is an Awesome and Amazing Experience!!
Highly recommend to pay the extra for the Super Ambassador Package, We had reserved front row seats for every show and never had to wait in line, it’s well worth it.
The whole day was Fantastic! And the best part of this awesome experience was the “Breath of Life" Night Show after dinner was amazing!!
