One thing that I was told by anyone who visited your island was to attend a Luau. After reading reviews on websites, I chose the Paradise Cove experience. I am very glad I did. My two year old granddaughter enjoyed the activities and dancing as much as my 70 year old mother. If you leave this experience hungry, you have no one to blame but yourself. The ocean view was gorgeous and the sunset that night was breathtaking. Thank You!!!

送迎付のコースを頼みましたが、皆さんが書かれている通りバスの中はほとんど外国人で、案内も英語だけでした。
ショーはさすがに迫力がありました。
デラックスで頼みましたが、席は前のほうではなく一番後ろの一段高いところでした。
途中で雨が降ってきましたが、そこには屋根がありましたので、そちらの席でよかったです。
一緒に行った人達は、本場のルアウショーが見れて良かった。
でも、英語がわからないので、わかるともっと楽しかったかな。
と言っていました。
ご飯は美味しかったです。
順番に色々持ってきていただいて、ビュッフェではなかったのですが、量は食べきれないぐらいでした。
4枚ついていたドリンクチケットはやはり飲みきれずに余ってしまい、もったいなかったです。

今回、ファミリーをもてなすためにこのツアーに参加しました。
色々な方が書いていた通り、日本人の参加者は極端に少ないです。ゆえにバスでの移動を含め現地でも日本語は全く通じないという認識で参加する方が良いと思います。
ただし、ある程度のヒアリングと片言でも自分の意思を伝えられるだけの単語力があれば十分に楽しめます。
ショーが始まるまでの間の、レイを作ったり、ハクレイを作ったりするコーナーも、自分が日本人である事を忘れて楽しめるものでした。
サンセットと共にルアウが始まるのですが、もうそこからは驚きの連続。
フラをはじめとした、ハワイの伝統芸能やポリネシアやタヒチの踊り。
そして、一番盛り上がったファイアーダンス。
食事については、高級ディナーとは違うので、あまり期待するべきではありませんが、フライドチキンは最高に美味しかったです。
連れていったファミリーはみんな楽しんでくれました。
折角異国の地に来んだから、日本人観光客の少ない環境でめいっぱい楽しんでしまうのも有りだと思います。
風がある日だと、夜は冷え込むし、移動のバス内のエアコンがかなり利いているので、上に羽織るものは必須です。

I recently visited Oahu for the 2nd time. My first luau experience in 2003 was with Germaine's Luau. That was very fun, but I felt it was too "touristy".
So on my recent trip to Oahu to visit a friend, we decided to try the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I am sooo glad that we did. The whole experience was amazing. We did the half day late entry package (upgraded to Ambassador). There is so much to see and learn about the Polynesian Islands and cultures. The dinner was seriously the best food, along with real students at the PCC performing a show during the dinner.
Then the "Ha! Breath of Life" show after dinner was so incredible. The story was great and the performances from all the different polynesian cultures were so wonderful. I cannot stress enough how much I am reccommending you visit the Polynesian Cultural Center and take in everything you can while you are there.

ワイキキから会場へ向かうバスの中から、エンターテイメントでした。移動中、会場での行動説明が軽くありました。
残念ながら、日本語は期待できません。
入場時に少々のトラブルがありましたが、バスの担当の方に困っている旨を伝えると、すぐに対応してくれました。
他の参加者とも交流できたり、(希望者参加の)ステージでのフラダンスを体験したり、いい思い出になりました。
お料理も「こんな程度のもの」ではなく、美味しいものでした。
帰りのバスの降りがけにスマートにチップを渡せるといいと思います(要求はされませんが気持ちで)。

とっても質の高いフラダンスを見れたと思いました。
けれど、全てが英語のみのパフォーマンスだったので、何がなんだかわからないまま周りの熱気に当てられてました。
英語が堪能な人ならとっても楽しめるツアーだと思いました。
ただ、飲み物、食べ物の受け取りは行列になってしまっていて非常に時間を食ってしまっていた。。
非常に残念な状態でした。

I asked my kids which activity was their favorite and they agreed that, other than surfing, this was it. The bus trip to the cove was hysterical, our guide was so wonderfully engaging and entertaining. I never thought that listening to people singing Old Macdonalds Farm could be so funny. The activities were great and the sun setting into the cove at the perfect time was idyllic. A great day.

I had an absolutely fabulous time. I had a personal guide, Stephanie, and she was great. Assisted me when I needed it. Kept my camera and took my picture with everything. II was treated like royalty by her. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the islands. And I would recommend the Super Ambassador tour. I don't have any pictures uploaded yet so cannot include any at this time.

Wow, where do I begin? We enjoyed the PCC alot! We were greeted at the pick up point by positive and pleasent staff. When we boarded the bus we were entertained all the way to the center. Our guide was Cuz Ken and he was very professional and entertaning. The day was full of events starting with lunch and then leading on to a series of islands. Each island had a unique cultrual display of dancing and interaction with the audience. We were busy all day, from 10:30am to 10:30pm. The lunch and dinner were very nicely organized and presented. We were so moved by the evening show "The Breath of Life", we bought the dvd! We would recommend this tour to anyone!

We went on a guided tour arrive at the Cultural Center @ 2pm. That's the way to go if you have limited time and what to navigate the park and catch as many of the mini-shows at each village as possible. Our guide set a leisurely pace, so the group and older folks can stick together.
The food at the luau was medicore. But the village experience and the night show, HA waws great!

The shuttle ride fom Wakiki was informative. It was a wonderful way to explore more of the island on limited time and budget. The Cultural Center was amazing. The staff went above and beyond expectations. The dinner was just average. I expectected a higher quality of food. Did not go back for seconds so I had more time to explore the Cultural Center.

Wow! The cruise was wonderful. We bought the 3-star package and the food was excellent, the service was great. Our server was perfect and made us feel pretty special. The show after dinner was top-notch, too, and a lot of fun. We did not cruise as far as we might have, but the weather was not cooperating. Can't help that. The highlight of our Honolulu vacation!

Selected Ambassador package and got a guided tour as part of it. Guide was fine, but we were not able to look around the "villages." Instead, we only went from one presentation to the next, missing portions of some of them, and then it was time for the luau. Interesting, but not outstanding. The facility should open earlier in the day. For the price, you should at least have time to see most of it. Luau food was not particularly good, lunch menu was better, and the "show" during the luau left a lot to be desired. "Ha", the show afterwards was very good, however.

Enjoyed the evening with our family of 3 teenagers. We played the games and felt encouraged by the staff, did the hula, watched most of the shows. However, we missed the main ceremony because we were doing something else at the time. They had the conch shell sound for each event but did not verbally announce it therefore we missed it which was disappointing. The food and dinner show were wonderful. We drove ourselves and the place was easy to find.

レビューの評価がとても良く期待し過ぎたせいかも知れませんが、まあまあという感じでした。バスガイドさんの話は勿論面白かったものの「大爆笑」というほどではなく普通でした。ただ、参加者への心配りは素晴らしく、誕生日や記念日を祝ったり、自由行動の際も全員の行動を把握していて後で言及したり。スタッフ同士の連携の円滑さにも驚きました。料理は美味しいとは思いませんでしたが、期待もしていなかったので許容範囲。ショーはもう少しスピリチュアルなものを期待していたけれど、コマーシャルな印象を受けました。あくまで個人的な感想ですが。
私共は一昨年までアメリカに住んでいて、このようなショーやディナーに多く参加しているので、他とも比較して、評価が少し辛口になってしまったかも・・・すみません。
多分、初めての人や日ごろ異文化にあまり触れる機会のない人にとっては、新鮮で楽しいイベントだと思います。

Let me just say, I took a chance. I heard it was expensive, cheesy, and basically over-rated. BUT, I also heard if you do decide to do a luau, do Paradise Cove, and go all out with the Deluxe package... They were right!! (lol, PC should pay me for this review...)
As a young couple in our 20's.... WE HAD A BLAST. They do a great job making you feel special with the deluxe package: shorter lines, extra drink tickets, souvenir gifts, and we had the VERY FRONT seats (regular tickets put you WAY in the back)!!! Totally worth the extra money to be right in front and have table service (no waiting in long lines for the buffet)... The food was better than expected, drinks were...pretty. The dancing/show was what was expected-
but what we both agreed on what made PC special was the cove!!!! It was stunning, and the view is everything i imagined Oahu to be. We went on our 2nd night, and it was very romantic!!! When we went on the little canoe ride they offer, WE SAW A GREEN SEA TURTLE!!!

We had never been to a luau so we had nothing to compare this to. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
The entertainment and activities before and after the meal were great, fun and appropriate for all age groups.
The taste and quality of food was good. The amount was plentiful. The alcoholic beverages that came with the VIP ticket was plentiful, although not very strong.
We bought the VIP package so that we wouldn't have to stand in line for the buffet. We went at a slow time in February (about 350 people) so it wasn't bad, but I would definitely recommend the VIP package in the peak season.
The lei and photos were very nice.
The fun didn't stop when we left the luau. The Paradise Cove tour guide sent to pick us up was fantastic. In the way to the luau we got to know the other people on our bus. We became a family of "cousins." On the way back we had music and humor based on our shared experiences. Our tour guide even played his ukulele and serenaded us. I didn't want to get off

Everyone was funny, attentive and kind. I loved it! I will definitely do this again for my future visits. The Luau was delicious and Ha: The Breath of Life was incredible... too bad the video was not available for me to bring for my family to see in AZ.

The Laua is a special Hawaiian treat. It is an event that everyone should experience for the feel of the islands. The personnel was terrific, and met the quality standards we expected. The performers after dinner were Frist Class. They should be visited by many for just the pure ability of their craft. The women were beautiful, and very nice afterward to have photos etc. We have attended before and the quality is the best.
