Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

A great time had by all

Reviewed by: Karen

I attended the Chief's luau with my husband, siblings/spouses, and my elderly parents. A great time was had by all....even got my parents (temporary) tattooed at the event! We enjoyed the pre-show activities and the food was delicious. Chief and his group of entertainers put on an excellent show. This was my first luau, but my siblings had been to others on previous visits and said Chief's luau was their favorite.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

LOVED IT!

Reviewed by: Rebecca Fletcher

I was a little anxious about picking out a luau because of how long they all are. However, the Paradise Cove luau has lots of activities so you don't have to worry about getting bored.We got the basic package with no frills and there was plenty to enjoy. The drinks were great, the buffet was just wonderful, the dancers were amazing--it was my favorite event of our trip! I even got on the stage for the hula dance lesson!

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

The Best Luau

Reviewed by: Blaze Daniels

This was our first Luau and we are confident in saying that it is quite possibly the best Luau you could attend. It was very authentic and Chief Seilu put on a great show from the dancing to music to his corky comedy. The activities before the Luau and the show itself are a perfect experience for anyone visiting Oahu.

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

PPC Ambassador tour

Reviewed by: B&B

Were entertained by Walter on the road to the Center. Before arriving Walter "strongly" encouraged everyone to purchase the lunch buffet for an additional $15 The buffet was nothing spectacular.

As an "ambassador package group" we were herded around by Elvis. We started out as the first group but somehow ended by late for all the demonstrations. Elvis was in such a rush to get us in place that he provided very little in the way of cultural information. Supposedly the Ambassador group see only the "highlights". The Canoe pageant costumes were first class but the boats looked "tired". Somoa action was well done and very funny. Drumming show in Tonga really energized the audience.

The Luau dinner food was nothing to write home about.

The Pacific show was outstanding but could eliminate the pineapple delight - too much - too messy for such a large audience,,,left trash everywhere in theatre. At a minimum you should end intermission with going through the aisles with tr

Happy Birthday to Me!

Reviewed by: Vilma Garibaldi

The Luau is so much fun, they have some games, and you can ride a canoe, take pictures with some beautiful birds, and there are jewerly that you can buy. I love this purple earrings that I bought! The food is good, but the drinks are water down. I would defintely go again. Hey when your in Hawaii you gots to go to a Laua. Also our activity guy was cuzin Mo, and if you get him, he is sooo funny! He made our ride to the Luau(about 30mins or so)not boring at all. He was singing and making jokes and everything. So if you get him, your very LUCY!

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

A Lovely Event & Evening

Reviewed by: Leigh

1 - A very informative and interesting event

2 - A fantastic location for the event, with mountains and the sea in the back-drop

3 - Talented dancers!

4 - A hilarious chief who makes the entire crowd get involved and excited

5 - Decent food for a buffet, some unique Hawaiian dishes. Nothing too fancy. It's not about the food, much more about the experience overall.

It was our first time in Hawaii and our first and only luau. We are happy we went and experienced it on the 2nd night of our vacation. It is worth it to have the luau experience and great fun!

Had a blast!!

Reviewed by: Aimee

Cousin Flo was our guide and she made the experience 10x better. She got everyone pumped up and ready for the luau. When we arrived, they took our picture (available for $15 at the end of the night) and we got our complimentary mai tai drink (alcohol/non alcohol). They gave us over an hour to wander off on our own and do activities. Ladies make sure you get a flower headband made!

Use your time wisely. Waiting in line to do an activity can take up to 15 minutes. We waited in line for another drink for about 20 minutes. Keep in mind while you're doing the activities they have you listen for the sound of the shell. You have to drop what youre doing and follow that person for a demonstration. Thats the only downfall i felt there was too much going on. It took away some time from taking pictures and soaking up the view.

The food was good and the show was amazing. The view is breathtaking especially at sunset. You're sitting outside right by the water. Its a great experience. Ive be

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

Pretty cool visit.

Reviewed by: Pratik

Everyone says that PCC is the #1 place to go when you're on Oahu, but I don't get it.

Yes, there are a lot of things to do there but it's mostly walking around and looking at different artifacts and recreations. It wasn't a big deal to me, especially since most people file all that information under M for "meh" after they leave the place.

One thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was that they kept pushing their $5 "Island Deelite" ice cream bowls on everyone, but only after forcing people to sit in 90-degree weather with no shade.

There wasn't enough of a gap in between lunch and dinner for me... you can't give people a buffet lunch and then expect them to dive into a buffet dinner less than five hours later, with Island Deelite ice cream in between of course. The after-dinner show was pretty good, but kind of cliche for me and had more of the "meh" factor from before.

The main thing that rubs me the wrong way is that the PCC is run by a church, so they don't really co

前回は、ポリネシアンセンターでしたが今回はこちらに参加しました。
 ハワイらしく、明るい雰囲気でこちらのほうが断然お勧めです。。。ショーもきれいですし、観客席から近いです。
 ご飯は、アメリカの大味ですが。(バイキング)お酒は美味しかったです。ハワイらしいカクテルです!!
 ほかの参加も、ほぼ日本人ゼロですので、英語で楽しめる方はぜひ。日本人である程度分かる方なら、まったく問題ないです!
 入り口で、無料で写真とってくれます。ハワイでいろんなィ写真撮りましたが、この写真が一番よかったです。
 ショーの前にも、参加型のいろいろなイベントがあります。

 中で、オウムと写真取れるとこあります(有料ですが)肩などにたくさんのせられます・・・。

2nd Time Around

Reviewed by: Wanda K

This is the second year in a row that we attended the Polynesian Cultural Center and the Alii Luau. The show is great and the food is probably the best we have had at a Luau. This is probably because the focus is on doing everything possible so that the guest is entertained with a wonderful show and feed all the delicious food you want to eat instead of trying to get you to spend your money on alcohol and then getting you to act foolish like they do at many of the other luaus on Oahu.

Items that need improvement.

Reviewed by: Pat

Overall, the show and activities were really good. However, we feel that there could have been some improvements in other areas.

First, the people who paid extra to sit next to the stage had to climb a great many steps which had no hand rails, to reach the food, drinks and to use the restrooms. There should be an area for the food and drinks to be closer for those people seated near the stage who paid more money for their tickets.

Secondly, after the first time that the our server came to help me with our order, she returned to see if we needed more food, but did not return after that to see if we wanted any dessert or coffee. The dessert and coffee were on another section of the upper level.

Third, since I was in a wheelchair, when the show started, I was wheeled in through the back of the stage to my seat. My wife was told that she could not come with me or exit the way I came in, causing a big problem at the end of the show. She was told to go to the customer relations des

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

As we have done a couple Luaus before I knew what to expect. This is a pretty good one - their location is fantastic - much better than Germaine's. And really loved the Hawaiian activities before the dinner. The food and drinks were average though. The drinks at Germaine's were a lot stronger. This Luau was also a little more restrained - better for families and older couples? Germaine's was a lot more fun and relaxed.

ヒルトンホテルに次ぐ二度目のルアウショー

Reviewed by: Hassy

コンドミニアムに滞在していたので最も近いハイアットリージェンシーホテル前に集合し、順次4ケ所から乗車、ほぼ満席の状態で出発しました。
日本人は私たち2人だけとの事で最前列に座るよう指示がありました。基本的に英語説明ですが、日本語のメモを見て大体分かります。
パラダイスコーブに到着後は席決め後は全くの自由行動。園内は狭いものの積極的にイベントに参加しないと退屈して終います。ただ余程英語が達者でないとアート作りは後回しされ嫌な思いをする事が多々あります。
次に席決めですが基本的には上クラスが真ん中、スタンダードは端席でバス#ごとに決められラストネームを書き入れ指定席になります。
ウエルカムドリンクから終了するまでマイタイジュースを3杯飲みましたがとても美味しかったです。
セレモニーもあり、珍しいカルアピックは美味、ポイは不味いのでロミロミサーモンと混ぜると美味しく戴けます。
デザートはケーキ、フルーツ、コーヒー共充実していました。
ショータイムの間にはシンガー兼司会者が観客に語りかけ、ゲスト参加の場面が多々あり盛り上がります。記念日に当たった人は立ち上がり祝福されます。ムードあるダンスタイムや観客参加もあり、タヒチダンスやフキラウソングも一緒に踊ったりします。
帰りは出口でバス#が待っていますが慌てずゆっくり周囲を見渡すとポリネシアン衣装の出演者と写真が撮れそうです。
最初に撮影したグループ写真は展示場にはなく、バスガイドさんが持って待っていました。
内容的には少し高めかなぁと思いますがアメリカ的な雰囲気を味わうならお勧めです。

父母、私、子ども3人で参加しました。
英語がほぼ話せないのですが、初海外の記念?に申込行ってきました。
日本語のパンフレット希望とリクエストしたところ、バス専属のガイドさんが「マーク」さんとおっしゃいましたが、日本語のできる方で、丁寧に対応してくださってとても楽しめました。小学校の先生との事で子どもの事も気にかけてくださり至れりつくせりしていただきました。

到着後、タトゥーペイントやヤシの木のぼり、地引き網などイベントがあり子どもたちと楽しみました。
多分アメリカ本土からの方が多いのでしょうか、みんなとってものりのりで楽しい雰囲気の中のフラショーで楽しかったです。
子どもたちの踊る時間もあり、3人とも舞台に上がっておどったりして楽しい思い出ができました。
日本人は私たち家族だけでしたが、異国を感じられる楽しいショーでした

困った事と言えば迎えのバスが30分くらい遅れて、不安になりホテルのフロントの方にお願いして電話をしていただきました。(ここだけは英語できないのが不安でした)

また機会があれば行きたいです。
