Since we left the hotel around noon, I planned to finish my errands in the morning before joining, but I ended up cutting it close to the meeting time. I was really panicking. Fortunately, the shuttle bus was a bit late, which helped a lot. Taking a taxi to the Polynesian Cultural Center would have been quite expensive...
After arriving, a guide accompanied us around the park. Since I participated in the deluxe course, there were fewer people in the group, making it easier to hear the explanations. We learned hula, got stamp tattoos, and tried some taro dishes, although they weren't very tasty.
Dinner was a buffet. The food was just okay. The most impressive part was definitely the show! It was incredibly powerful, and although the show itself was quite long, I never got bored. (There was a break in between as well.) Since we returned late, I slept soundly on the bus, but it was a very enjoyable tour!
お昼くらいのホテル出発だったから、午前中に用事を済ませてから参加しようと思っていたら、集合時間にぎりぎりに。なものすごく焦りました。でも、運良く少しお迎えのバスが遅れていたので、助かりました。ポリネシア文化センターまでタクシーとかで自腹はきつい…
到着後はガイドのお兄さんがついて園内をまわりました。デラックスコースで参加したので、グループ自体の人数も少なくて、説明も聞きやすかった。フラをならったり、スタンプの刺青をしてもらったり。タロいもの試食もしましたが、あまりおいしいものではありませんでした。
夕食はバイキング。お味のほうはまあまあですね。やっぱり一番印象深いのがショーです!ものすごい迫力で、ショー自体結構長いのですが、あきる事はありませんでした。(途中で休憩もありました)帰る時間も遅いのでバスでは爆睡でしたが、とても楽しいツアーでした!

On the bus ride there, the Japanese guide shared various stories, creating a bit of a sightseeing atmosphere. When we arrived at the cultural center, we split into groups to explore.
The performances and talks in the Samoan village were enjoyable even for someone like me who doesn't understand English. If you sit in the front row, you'll be pulled onto the stage, so feel free to do that if you want to stand out. I watched the IMAX show, which was somewhat interesting regarding dolphin behavior, but it felt like something you could skip.
The evening show exceeded all expectations. It's understandable that many people come to see it, even if it takes them an hour and a half to get there. I had a front-row seat in the deluxe course, which made it even more impressive.
行きのバスでは日本語ガイドの方がいろいろな話をしてくれて、ちょっとした観光気分でした。文化センターに着くと
グループに分かれて行動します。
サモアの村でのパフォーマンスやトークは英語がわからない私でも楽しむことができました。前の方の席に座るとステージに引っ張られるので、目立ちたい方はどうぞ。IMAXショーを見たのですが、イルカの習性について等でそれなりにおもしろいのですが、特にココで見なくても、、という感じでした。
夜のショーは期待をはるかに超えるものでした。多くの人が片道1時間半をかけてまで見に来るのも納得です。デラックスコースで前の方の席だったので、より迫力がありました。

I had been to the Polynesian Cultural Center several times, but since it was my friend's first visit, I definitely wanted to show it to them, so I took them along. If you're short on time, you might end up going to a show in Waikiki, but this place is absolutely worth taking the time to visit. It's amazing no matter how many times you see it. My friend was completely captivated and said they were glad we came. I definitely recommend it to anyone I know who is going to Hawaii.
私は何度かポリネシア文化センターに行った事があったのですが、友達がはじめてだったので、
絶対見せてあげたいと思って連れて行きました。時間がないとワイキキでやっているショーに行ってしまいますが、
ここは時間をかけて見に行く価値は絶対あります。
何度見ても最高です。友達もずーっと見入っていて、来てよかったと言ってもらいました。
まわりでハワイに行く人がいたら絶対おすすめしています。

The food was a buffet. There were quite a variety of options, and the desserts were plentiful. The taste was just okay, though.
We had seats fairly close to the stage. By the way, we participated in the deluxe option. The evening show was more amazing than I had imagined, and there was hardly any time to rest while watching. Just when I thought that, there was an intermission, and I quickly went to get the dessert voucher that had been distributed earlier. To my surprise, what I received was a bowl made from a halved pineapple filled to the brim with ice cream. Plus, it was one for each person. It was delicious, but I still couldn’t finish it...
Since it was an outdoor show, the scale was large, and there were quite a few performers. The fire dance was impressive and definitely worth watching. I highly recommend going at least once. Although the Polynesian Cultural Center is quite far, I slept soundly on the bus ride back. If I go to Hawaii again, I want to see that show once more!
料理内容はバイキング。種類も結構あるし、デザートも充実していた。お味はまあまあでしたけど。
ショーの席は結構前のほうだった。ちなみにデラックスで参加。夜のショーは想像以上にすごくて、見ているのに休む暇がない。と思ったら途中休憩がはいり、先に配られていたデザート引換え券をもって早速受け取りに行った。そこでビックリ!渡されたのはパイナップルを半分に割った器にアイスクリームがてんこもり状態。しかも1人1個。おいしかったけどやっぱり食べきれなかった…
屋外でのショーだけあって、規模も大きく、出てくる人数もかなり多い。ファイヤーダンスも迫力があり、見ごたえ十分。一度は是非行くことをお薦めします。ポリネシア文化センターまでは距離があるけれど、帰りはバスの中でぐっすり。またハワイに行ったら、もう一度あのショーを見たい!

I went to the Polynesian Cultural Center because I thought it was important to learn about history. I expected it to be mostly shows, but the facilities were well-equipped, and I was surprised at how well everything was recreated. It felt similar to Nikko Edo Wonderland in Japan. I gained a good understanding of Hawaii's history, which is not something you can easily learn about nowadays.
As for the food, it was surprisingly delicious for a buffet. The shrimp and fish were particularly tasty, and I felt like I could get full just from those. There was also a good selection of desserts, which made my partner very happy. I saw the main show for the first time, and there were a lot of cast members on stage, showcasing various dance performances like hula and fire dancing, which were quite impressive. I was a bit worried about the seating since we had the standard course, but the stage was large and there were many performers, so I was able to enjoy it fully. However, it was quite far from Waikiki, so I got pretty sleepy on the way back. If you want to experience the feeling of being in Hawaii right away, this might be a great place to visit.
やっぱり歴史も学ばないとね~ってことでポリネシアン文化センターに行ってきました。行くまではショーばかりのものかとおもったら施設も充実しており、これほどまでに再現されているとは思いませんでしたね。日本でいう日光江戸村のような感じですか。現在ではあまり知ることの出来ないハワイの歴史が良くわかりました。
食事の方はというとバイキングではめずらしく、これが意外と美味しかったです。
海老や魚といった類が大変美味しくそれだけでお腹がいっぱいになりそう。デザートも充実していましたので相方は喜んでいました。 そしてメインのショウをはじめて見ましたが、舞台に大人数のキャストが出てきて、フラやファイヤーダンスなど多様なダンスショー等なかなかの迫力でした。席の場所もスタンダードコースということでちょっと心配でしたが舞台が大きく登場メンバーも多かったので十分に満喫できるものでした。
ただワイキキからは遠かったので帰りは大分眠くなりましたね、、
ハワイに来たという実感をすぐにでも体験したいならここは良いかもしれません。
