First off, go all out and get the top-of-the-line package because you are treated like a king/queen. As a first-time visit for my girlfriend, she was enthralled. From the moment you walk in, each aspect of the visit is well-planned. The staff is exceptionally friendly, the food well prepared and the show a treat to behold. You won't be disappointed!

一昨年 友人と二人で参加。バスに乗り込むや、すごいノリの外国人達に圧倒され、これは何事が起きるんだろうと、それはもうドキドキでした。帰るまで、一度も日本人に会うことも無く、不思議な世界に放り出された気分でした。そのワクワク体験を別の友人にも感じてもらいたくて、再度 このツアーに申し込みました。今回も大うけで、とても楽しめました。また機会が有れば、参加したいです。

I would highly recommend this activity as a 'must do' during your Hawaii vacation.
The whole tour, from initial booking via Hawai Activities, to collection from our hotel, transport, and the Luau experience at Paradise Cove was sensational!
The tour guide Pomai was entertaining and knowledgable and 'included' everyone as a family unit. The staff at Paradise Cove were friendly and helpful and their enthusiasm and smiles made the experience unique and breathtaking.
The hospitality, food and entertainment was second to none.
One of our best holiday experiences ever!!!!

今回、家族での初めての旅行で思い出の地のHAWAIIを選択してこのツアーに申し込みました。
ここは自分も初めてのところでしたがガイドさんの対応も良くとても楽しめました。
子供たちも、ワイキキでは「外国に来た気がしないね」と言っていましたがこのツアーは「外国に来た気がする」(笑)と言って大喜びでした。最初は緊張していましたがHOTELに帰ると興奮してショーの話をしていました。
ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターに比べ小振りでアトラクションも少ないですがその分ゆっくり楽しめたので良かったです。
ありがとうございました。

The luau was good. The only thing I would suggest is to not have the people waiting outside so before getting on the bus. The temperature outside was already hot and then the heat from the bus's engine made it worst. We waited outside the bus for 45 minutes before we could get on.

Especially liked the driver who also guided us through to the shows and where we were could get to when they were starting. She gave us a mini tour on the way to the cultural center which was very interesting. She was fun, joyful, and looked out for us.

There was too much going on. We were standing in the lines to do the crafts before we realized that the main events were going on elsewhere. Not sure how we were supposed to know what was going on, but I feel like we missed a lot. Food was good and the main show after dinner was good.

Dears Sirs, Aloha. I completely enjoy your show and over all Luau, and have attanded your facility for three consecutive Island visits.
Each time I come, I bring new visitors to the Islands and they always enjoy the Luau activities/show.
I remember additional games and venders and missed them both this late trip.
I will continue to visit and recommend you to others s a must do when in Oahu.

We easily could have spent all day at the Polynesian Cultural Center, and definitely hope to go back and do so someday! But for our 6-year old daughter, that would have been far too much. She enjoyed the canoe ride, the tattoos, the leaf weaving, and the poi demonstration. She is still talking about the dinner. Us grown-ups also loved the experience. The luau and the after show were exceptional! Far better than a previous, more expensive and over-rated experience on Maui. I think that if you only do one tourist activity on Oahu, this should be it, including the show. The HA show is WELL worth the price!

Visiting the Poly. Cultural Center is a must do when visiting Ohau. This is a very enjoyable, educational and informative view of the Hawaiian Island. We had the VIP tour with a wonderful guide Wendy. Just when we thought it could not get any better we attended the theatrical show "Ha The Breath of Life" which was outstanding. What ever you do do not miss this.

You get lei'd and you get a welcome drink and your picture taken with a hula dancer. You get to do activities like how to make a lei and get your picture taken while you are ona canoe ride. Then you get a little bit of Polynesian history of how to get and break a coconut, how the old hawaiians catch fish, and the many different ways to wear a sarong. Then everyone gathers in the Imu Stadium where you see the unveiling of the slow cooked wrapped in Ti leaves, Kahlua Pig from the pit. Then they sit you down for a delicious luau feast. And you can asks for 2nds and 3rds. Then concluding night of an hour long fantastic entertaining show of music, hula dancing and a Samoan fire dance. It is located in Ko Olina. Fabulous ocean views and sunset. Do not forget your camera! Alooooooooooha!

great trip out to the Polynesian Cultural Center! very informative and fun at each village.. traveled with family with kids in mid 20s and we all enjoyed. Luau and night show (Ha) were both enjoyable! only problem is that you are on your own once you get there unless you want to pay more for a guide..didnt think you really needed one especially if you just follow the map in order you can see the whole park in a day!

My sister and I had lived on Oahu for 5 1/2 years in the 50s and returned for her 70th birthday. The PCC was not in existence when we lived there but I had visited it with my husband in the 70s. Since we didn't think we would travel to Hawaii again, sis and I decided to go "whole hog" and booked the Super Ambassador package for this outing and luau.
To say it was well worth the extra money is putting it mildly! We were treated like royalty from the minute we got off the bus.
Beke (from Mongolia) was our personal guide for the day and gave us each a beautiful shell lei which identified us all day as SAs. Beke couldn't have been more helpful - she carried any extras we had (umbrellas, sweaters - you name it), got us ponchos when it started to rain, dried off the seats we had to sit on for performances after it rained; if there was anything to be done, she did it and with the friendliest attitude we could have wished for. She was punctual, turning up exactly on time when she ha

I have booked the “Polynesian Cultural Center – Full Day Ambassador Package” with Hawaii Activities many times. I have always found their voucher instructions to be concise and accurate. I particularly appreciate the fact that Hawaii Activities will leave a e-mail or hotel voicemail message for you reminding you of your upcoming activity and any necessary updated information.
The Polynesian Cultural Center is a MUST SEE when visiting the Islands! It is an amazing full day of learning the culture of the people who established the Islands. Each Village that you will visit will provide you with a description of their creation and demonstrate their unique culture through dance, song, and demonstrations. The interesting thing about this day is that nearly every individual who is working at the Center is a full-time student at BYU of Hawaii which is located next door. The money raised from the admission fee to the Center funds the scholarship program of the University which su

I went to Polynissian culture center last year, and I choose to paradise cove this time. I have to recommand this warm, friendly, delightful environment that not only provided me good foods, but also great entertainment!
The drink was great too. Even with the cheapest ticket, I still got two free alcohol drinks.
It was awesome to see sunset on the beautiful beach and interesting shows at the same time.
I enjoyed paradice cove a lot, it's a good place to go if you like unique place to enjoy luau and Hawaiian cultures.

Dont miss "HA-the Breath of Life"-this presentation is showing all the different costumes and dances of the 5 different tribes inside the Polynesian Culture Center-is a very nice introduction to their culture all concentrated in a 90 minute presentation. Staffs were kind and frendly. However, I would not recommend the buffet- food is not worth the price...

There were a lot of lines all night. From the moment we met the bus until the moment we got off. We had to wait to get in but fortunately a beverage was provided in that one. We had children who wanted to do many of the activities and they made sure you didn't miss them with a load conch call. This brought a huge crowd to see each event. My kids would not let us miss one. The bummer was the cove and location was beautiful and we didn't get a moment to take it all in as a family because one of us was in line the entire time. You should know that dinner is not served until after 7pm so make sure you have a late lunch. I wish I would of known that. Show was great but the many costume changes meant many slow intermission like moments all night. Not my favorite night.
