The bus was quite fast, and surprisingly, we arrived in about 45 minutes while enjoying the scenery. The bus guide's commentary during that time was very important, as they explained the day's flow in an easy-to-understand and enjoyable manner. I booked a good seat in the class, and the food was served buffet-style, very delicious, and the strawberries were incredibly sweet and tasty. The drinks were all-you-can-drink, and whenever we asked the waitress, she brought us more. The show allowed us to experience the atmosphere of Hawaii, and even if you don't understand the language, the story was easy to follow. During the show, when we handed over the part attached to the ticket, everyone received ice cream with lots of fruit, and there was a break. The fruit and ice cream were very delicious. On the way back, the bus was quiet without the guide from the outbound trip, and most people were sleeping, creating a calm atmosphere as we were taken back to the hotel. It was great to feel the spirit of Hawaii.
バスはかなりとばすので、意外と早く景色をみているうちに、約45分くらいで到着しました。その間のバスガイドさんのお話がとても重要で、その日の流れなどをわかりやすく、楽しく説明してくれます。クラスはいい席で申し込みしましたが、料理は、バイキング形式で、とてもおいしく、イチゴのフルーツもすごく甘くて、おいしかったです。ドリンクも飲み放題で、ウエイトレスさんに頼むと、何度でも持ってきてくれました。ショーはハワイの雰囲気を味わえ、言葉がわからなくても、わかりやすいストーリーになっています。ショーの途中で、チケットの下についている部分を渡すと、フルーツたくさんのアイスクリームが全員渡され、休憩時間がありました。そのフルーツとアイスクリームがとてもおいしかったです。帰りのバスは、行きのバスガイドさんはいなく、静かで、ほとんどの人が寝ているので、静かな感じで、ホテルに送られる感じでした。ハワイの気分が味わえてよかったです。

As a repeat visitor to Hawaii, I had never been here before... although I've passed by the road many times. This time, I participated with my mother. I think it's worth seeing at least once when you come to Hawaii. After watching the show, returning to Waikiki will be around 11:00 PM, so I think it's best to be well-prepared for the return if you have small children. The girls who were taking hula lessons in the park were very cute!!
ハワイリピーターの私ですが今までに来た事は無く・・・ 何度も前の道は通っているんだけどな~と。
今回は母との参加でした。 ハワイに来たら一度は見てみるのも良いかと思います。ショーを見てワイキキに帰ってくるのは
23:00近くになるので小さいお子様は帰りの準備を万全にした方が良いと思います。 園内でフラのレッスンをしている女の子たちがとても可愛かったです!!

I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center for the first time. Since it was a tour to see the evening show, I didn't get to explore much of the park, but it seems like a place that would be interesting to spend a whole day at if you're visiting for the first time.
The dinner before the show is a buffet featuring traditional Hawaiian dishes, but the taste is just average. The show is conducted in English, so even if you don't fully understand the meaning, you can get the gist by reading the story in the visuals and pamphlets.
With live performances, the performers showcased various traditional dances from different countries, sometimes powerfully and sometimes gracefully, which was enjoyable! The final fire dance was also impressive. I was very satisfied watching from the second row, but I think if you were seated further back, the impact might be diminished...
初めてポリネシア・カルチャーセンターに行きました。
夕方からのショーを見るためのツアーだったので、園内はあまり見れませんでしたが初めて行くなら一日居てもおもしろそうな施設でした。
ショーの前に付いているディナーは、ハワイの伝統料理を中心にバイキング形式ですが味は普通です。
ショーは英語で進められるのではっきりとは意味がわからなくても、映像やパンフレットに書いてあるストーリーを読めばだいたいわかります。
生演奏で、演者の方が歌いながらストーリー性を持って色々な国の伝統的な踊りを時には力強く、時には優雅に魅せてもらい楽しめました!
最後のファイヤーダンスも迫力がありました。
今回、前から2列目で見たので大変満足でしたが、あまり後ろの方の席だとこの感動も薄まるかも。。。と思います。

I finally made it to the Polynesian Cultural Center. It's not easy to go there on your own, is it? The night bus seems a bit dangerous, and it takes time. Next year, I'm thinking of doing an island-hopping tour and visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center again. I hope to get your help then.
やっと行けたポリネシア・カルチャーセンター。個人ではなかなか行きづらいですよね。夜のthe・busはちょっと危険そうだし、時間もかかります。来年は島巡りツアーにもう一度ポリネシア・カルチャーセンターにと思っています。その際はまたお願いします。

We participated as a family. The bus staff were very kind and helpful. The talk during the ride to the venue was also enjoyable. The restaurant was large and beautiful, and the buffet-style meal was delicious. Since it was just around Halloween, there were people in costumes and face paint, which gave it an international atmosphere. The seats for the show were very easy to see, right in the center. The dance show lasts about two hours with a break, and it was flashy and fun. My two-year-old daughter also enjoyed it. The ice served during the break was generous and tasty, but it can be sticky, so I recommend bringing wet wipes or similar items. I think it's a great option for families, friends, or couples who want to see a dance show in Hawaii.
家族で参加しました。
バスのスタッフの方がとても親切で助かりました。
会場に着くまでの間のトークも楽しかったです。
レストランも大きく綺麗で、バイキング形式の食事もおいしかったです。ちょうどハロウィンの時期だったので会場も変装やペインティングをした方がいて海外な雰囲気を感じることができました。
ショーの席はとても見やすいちょうどセンター位置でした、ダンスショーは休憩をいれて約2時間ですが、とにかく派手で楽しめます。2歳になる娘も楽しんでいました。休憩に出るアイスもボリュームがあり美味しかったですが、手がべたつくのでおしぼりなどの持参をお薦めします。ハワイでダンスを家族、友人、カップルで見たい方には良いと思います。

I have used Alan1.net multiple times, but this was my first time participating in a limited monitor tour. Since the price was fixed, I didn't have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious meals and the show seats, which were in the center and just three rows from the front. The child I accompanied was also thrilled to quickly take a commemorative photo with the main characters, the prince and princess. This is my eighth time in Hawaii, and it’s always a fun paradise no matter when I come. I will be visiting again in January and February next year, and I will be using Alan1.net.
Alan1.netは何回も利用させてもらいましたが、初めて限定モニターツアーに参加しました。
金額が定額でしたので期待をしていませんでしたが、予想をひるがえして食事も堪能し、加えてショーの席もセンターで前から三列目でした。同伴の子供も主役の王子と姫と素早く記念写真を撮れて喜んでいました。
ハワイは8回目となりますが、いつ来ても楽しいパラダイスです。また、来年の1月&2月に訪れますが、Alan1.netを利用させていただきます。

It was my first time participating. First, about the food, it was a buffet, and I would say it was neither good nor bad. It was more about quantity than quality, but I was satisfied.
The show was fairly interesting. It had a storyline, so it wasn't boring.
I was seated in the fourth row from the front. I wonder if it would be hard to see from the back...
There was an ice cream service halfway through, and it was super delicious!
It became a great memory in Hawaii. Thank you very much.

It has been over a year since I participated, but I was seriously considering revisiting until the last minute during my recent trip to Hawaii.
I thought this place was just a typical tourist theme park since it has been around for a long time. So, I never thought to go back, and I always ignored it after being taken there as a child.
However, visiting as an adult was great! I learned a bit about Hawaii, which I love. If you have the budget and time, I definitely recommend going with the deluxe plan. With a small group, the guide is easy to hear, and they ensure you have a great view of the shows!
参加したのはもう一年以上前なのですが、

We left the hotel in Waikiki at 12:00 and headed to the Polynesian Cultural Center, stopping by a souvenir shop along the way, and arrived at the site at 2:15. We watched the canoe show, and then continued to explore the buildings and shows from various countries, which included some hands-on experiences that were enjoyable. Dinner at the restaurant started at 5:00; it was a buffet, but very delicious. The show starting at 7:30 had a storyline and was truly wonderful, leaving me deeply moved. It exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I chose the deluxe option.
12時にワイキキのホテルを出てポリネシア文化センターへ、途中お土産屋さんに寄り2時15分に現地到着。

Last year, we went on the same tour with four people... This year, we went with two couples, totaling six people... We departed around 4 PM, enjoyed the mountains and scenery along the way, and after arriving, had a meal in a pleasant open-air location... After browsing for souvenirs, it was finally time for the show. Last year, we were seated towards the back, making it a bit difficult to see the stage, but I thought it was because it was a cheap tour... This year, however, we had relatively good seats towards the front, albeit on the side. The show was the same as last year, but we enjoyed it just as much. During a break, watching the people carrying ice cream at high speed down the stairs, which was included in the expensive tour, was just as enjoyable as the show... Including all of this, everyone was very satisfied with the affordable and fun half-day experience!
昨年は同じツアーに4名で・・・今年は友人夫妻2組と6人で・・・
4時頃出発で、途中の山々や景色を楽しみ、到着後オープンエアーの気持ちの良い場所でのお食事・・・お土産を覗いて、いよいよショーです。昨年は後ろの方で舞台が少々見づらかったのですが、安いツアーだから・・・と、思っていたら今年は、端ですが比較的前の方の良いお席・・ショーは昨年同様のものでしたが、何度でも楽しみました。
途中休憩の時に高いツアーに含まれるアイスクリームを運ぶ人たちの超スピードの階段移動がショーと同じ位楽しめました・・・これも含めて安くて楽しめる半日にみんな大満足でした♪

I wanted to see the Polynesian show, so I joined a plan that included just the show and dinner. I didn't check out the other attractions in the theme park, but I think it would be interesting for those who have the time to participate. The dinner is a buffet, so it's nice to be able to choose what you like, but if you arrive just before the entry time, it can be crowded, and there were people waiting. The show has a storyline, which made it easy to understand, and I appreciated that. Since the story progresses at a leisurely pace, I felt that a plan that includes dining would also be a good option. Although my seat was towards the back, I was able to enjoy the overall atmosphere, and I felt that was nice in its own way. Of course, the fire dance, which I was most looking forward to, was spectacular. I recommend it to those who haven't seen it before.
ポリネシアンショーが見たくて、ショーと食事だけのプランに参加しました。
テーマパークの他のアトラクションは見ていないのですが、時間がある方は参加しても面白そうなのではないかと思いました。
ディナーはバイキングですので、好きなものを選べるので良いと思いますが、入場時間ぎりぎりに来ると混んでいて待っている人もいました。
ショーはストーリーになっているのでわかりやすくてよかったです。

I participated in the Twilight Deluxe.
It was my first time in Hawaii, and I signed up for this because I wanted to see the show.
It was a wonderful show, just as I had heard, and I was moved!
It takes over an hour to get to the center, but I think it's worth going just to see the show.
Before entering the restaurant, we took photos with the dancers one group at a time, but they cost $18, so I didn't buy one. They turned out well, but I would have purchased one if it had been a bit cheaper.
By the way, if there are Deluxe seats available, it seems you can upgrade from Standard to Deluxe by paying an additional fee on the day. I think it's better to watch from the Deluxe seats if possible.

センターまで片道1時間以上かかりますが、ショーを観る為だけにでも行く価値はあると思います。
レストランに入る前に1組ずつダンサーと写真を撮ってもらいましたが、$18もしたので買いませんでした。よく撮れていたのでもう少し安ければ買ったのですが。
ちなみにデラックスの席が空いている場合は、当日追加料金を払えばスタンダードからデラックスの席に変更できるようです。できればデラックスの席で観た方がいいと思います。

I participated in the All Day Deluxe. The transportation was enjoyable, with a male college student guide explaining things while we traveled in a medium-sized bus.
For the evening show, I booked through Alan1 and ended up in the fourth row from the front in the center. The center is the best location. If you're seated further back, you can't see the dancers' facial expressions, which diminishes the enjoyment. (Although the price is high, the Deluxe experience is definitely worth it.)
The Deluxe option included a guided tour with a small group, and even though it was expensive, I was very satisfied. (This time, our guide was a very cute college student named Kotona. Thank you for explaining everything so well and making it a pleasant day.) My three children, who are in elementary and middle school, also had a great time.
As a downside, there were too many things to see, and one day wasn't enough. I wish they would start earlier. There was hardly any time to buy souvenirs, which is disappointing! (After the evening show, it's time to catch the bus back, leaving no time for shopping.)
There are various events like hula dancing and a Tonga show. Therefore, booking the Deluxe through Alan1 and sitting in the center front row is definitely worth it.
オールデイ・デラックスで参加しました。
送迎は、中型バスで男子大学生のガイドが説明しながら楽しく移動できました。
夜のショーは、Alan1で申し込んだら中央で前から4列目でした。中央が最高のロケーションです。また、後ろのほうでは、ダンサーの顔の表情がわからないため、楽しさも半減です。(料金が高いですが、デラックスが絶対に良いです。)
デラックスは、場内の案内も少人数で案内され、料金が高くても満足いくものでした。(今回のガイドは、とてもかわいい大学生の琴奈さんでした。一生懸命説明してくれて気持ちの良い一日を過ごせて有難うございました。)
高・中・小学生の3人の子供たちも楽しんでいました。
最後に欠点として、見どことがありすぎて一日では足りません。だからこそ、開始時間を早めてほしいです。お土産の買う時間もほとんどありません。残念!(夜のショーが終わったら帰りのバスの時間です。買い物の時間はありません。)
フラを踊ったり、トンガのショーを見たりいろいろなイベントがあります。だから、デラックスをAlan1で予約して中央前列で見る価値は、保障です。

Before arriving at the location, we picked up about 20 Japanese participants, but after we arrived and split into different groups, it ended up being just the two of us in our group with one guide, making a total of three people. The guide explained everything in Japanese, which made us feel at ease. We were able to experience hula lessons, ukulele lessons, making flower leis, and crafting rose flowers with lauhala leaves.
For dinner, we watched a show, but there were mostly Americans and hardly any Japanese (there were a few Chinese). I didn't have high expectations for the taste or content of the meal from the beginning, so it didn't bother me.
As for the show, the fire dance in the second half was spectacular and definitely worth seeing. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the experience.

夕食はショーを観ながらですが、アメリカ人が多く日本人はほとんどいません(中国人がほんの少し居たが)でした。食事の味や内容は最初から期待していませんでしたので、気になりませんでした。

Four years ago, my mother liked it, so this was our second visit, and I decided to upgrade to Super Ambassador this time.
On the bus ride there, our seats were assigned (there was a paper with our names), and when we arrived, a lovely young lady guided just the two of us. We had front-row seats for the shows at each outdoor village, and during the canoe ride, we were alone while others were in large groups (which was a bit awkward). The meals were supposed to be buffet-style in a separate area, but the staff brought the food to us when we asked.
We had front-row center seats for the show, and during the fire knife performance, it was thick and quite scary.
I think the price is high, but it's perfect for fully enjoying the center, especially for seniors.

This facility is operated by a religious university that also manages a fund to preserve the cultures of the Polynesian countries from around the world. About 70% of the performers are students, with half of them being Japanese exchange students. It was interesting to see the students from six Polynesian countries showcase dances introducing their respective nations, but the final show was truly the highlight. It seems that it wasn't as impressive in the past, but the version that was remade a few years ago is a must-see, featuring a rich story that lasts for a full 1.5 hours. I thought it was just a fire performance, but the content was quite substantial. It's better to choose deluxe seating.

I love Hawaiian hula; it's very beautiful. You won't get bored staying from morning until night.

On the day we arrived in Hawaii, my husband and I participated in the "Twilight Deluxe" tour in the evening. Although I have visited Hawaii several times, it was my first time going to the Polynesian Cultural Center. I was a bit worried about the distance since I'm not great with cars, but during the ride, our Japanese guide shared enjoyable stories, and we arrived in just a little over an hour.
The restaurant near the entrance that we usually used for meals was under construction, so we took a canoe to a restaurant located deeper inside the center. During the ride, the paddler explained the Polynesian countries on both sides of the river in English. The meal itself wasn't particularly deluxe, but we had plenty of fruit.
After eating, we walked to the theater near the entrance and were surprised to find that the facility was much larger than I had expected, and almost all the seats were filled. The bus guide mentioned that about 20% of the tourists were Japanese, which seemed accurate, as most others appeared to be families from the mainland and older couples from Europe.
The show featured high-quality dancers and was very impressive. The story was well-structured, and we enjoyed various dances from different Polynesian countries, laughing and watching the fire dance—it went by in no time. Photography was prohibited during the show, but afterward, we were able to take pictures with the dancers.
I heard that the content of the show had just changed recently, and I would love to see a different version next time. Also, I definitely want to go during the day next time to see the canoe show and participate in various activities from different Polynesian countries!

バスのガイドさんが 日本人観光客は2割程度と仰ってましたが 実際その位で 他はメインランドのファミリーやヨーロッパの老夫婦が多く感じました。
ショーは ダンサーのクオリティが高く とても迫力がありました。
ストーリーもしっかりしていて 様々なポリネシアの国々のダンスを楽しみながら 途中大笑いしたり ファイヤーダンスを見たり あっという間でした。
ショーの最中は撮影禁止ですが ショーの後には ダンサーさんと一緒にお写真を撮って頂けました。
最近 ショーの内容が変わったばかりだと聞きましたが また違うバージョンも見てみたいと思いました。
あと 次回は是非お昼から行って カヌーのショーを見たり いろんなポリネシアの国々のアクテビティに参加してみたいと思います☆

I went to Hawaii for my first overseas trip this time. I participated in the tour of the Polynesian Cultural Center starting from the evening of the arrival day. During the one-hour drive from the pickup, I enjoyed the scenery from the car window. After arriving, we took a canoe to move to the restaurant deep within the park.
As for the meal, it was a buffet style, and while the taste was just okay, I appreciated the variety of fruits available. We didn't use the canoe to get to the theater; instead, we walked for about 15 minutes while taking photos along the way. Since I ordered the deluxe course, our seats in the theater were in the second row from the front, which was the best position to enjoy the show.
At first, I didn't have high expectations for the show since I didn't understand English, but as soon as it started, I was captivated by the energy of the many dancers and the story of the show, and before I knew it, the first act was over. During the intermission, I used the dessert coupon from the ticket to enjoy a large serving of ice cream.
In the second act, there were comedic scenes that made me laugh out loud, and I also enjoyed the fire dance. It was a wonderful show that I could only experience in Hawaii, and I was very satisfied. When the show ended, everyone gave a standing ovation, and it was very moving. HA!
今回 初めての海外旅行でハワイに行きました。
到着日の夕方から このポリネシア文化センターのツアーに参加しました。
ピックアップから一時間ほどの移動中も 車窓からの景色が楽しめました。
到着後 カヌーに乗って園内 奥のレストランまで移動しました。
食事の内容ですが バイキング方式で まぁ そこそこの味でしたが フルーツの種類が多くて良かったです。
シアターまでは カヌーは利用せず 途中 写真を撮りながら 15分程徒歩で移動しました。
デラックスのコースを頼んだので シアターの座席は 前から2番目というベストポジションでショーを楽しめました。
最初は 英語も解らないのでショーの内容は余り期待していませんでしたが 始まった途端 大勢のダンサーたちの気迫とショーのストーリーに引き込まれてしまい あっという間に1幕が終わりました。
休憩時間中に チケットのデザートクーポンを利用し 大盛りのアイスクリームを頂きました。
2幕目からはコミカルな場面で大笑いしたり ファイヤーダンスも楽しめ ハワイでしか体感できないすばらしいショーで大満足しました。
ショーが終わると全員スタンディングオベーションで とても感動的でした。
HA!

Due to a mix-up with the tour company, the pickup location was different from what I had been informed beforehand, so I waited for nearly 30 minutes. However, the shows and events at the center were wonderful. Personally, I especially enjoyed the canoe pageant. I was surprised by the large number of people, even on a weekday, which showed just how popular it is.
催行会社の手違いか、ピックアップ場所が、事前に聞いていた場所と異なったため、30分近く待ちました。ですが、センターでのショーやイベントは、素晴らしかったです。個人的には特にカヌーページェントが気に入りました。平日にも拘わらず、かなり人が多かったのには驚きましたが、人気の高さがうかがえました。

We visited the Polynesian Cultural Center for the first time as a couple. Unfortunately, the weather was pouring rain. Upon arriving at the center, we received ponchos and the tour began. Due to the bad weather, I was more concerned about my footing than the scenery, which really diminished the enjoyment, and that was very disappointing. However, the one saving grace was that we managed to see the dance show on the boat that takes place once a day. The buffet dinner was delicious. But the evening show, "Hā: Breath of Life," was so moving that it gave me goosebumps. It received a standing ovation. I think it's worth seeing the show at least once. If I go again, I would like to opt for a tour that includes just dinner and the show.
夫婦で初めて訪れたポリネシアン文化センター。残念ながら天気はどしゃぶりの雨。センターについてポンチョをもらってツアーが始まりました。悪天候のため景色より、足元ばかり気になってしまい、やっぱり楽しみが半減したのがとても残念でした。でも、なんとか一日一回行われるボートの上でのダンスショーがみれたのが、唯一の救いでした。ブッフェのディナーはおいしかったです。でも、イブニングショーの「ハァ・ブレス・オブ・ライフ」は鳥肌が立つほど、感動しました。スタンディングオベーションでした。一度だけでもいいから、ショーは見たほうがいいと思います。もしまた行くなら、ディナーとショーだけのツアーを利用したいと思いました。

I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center for the first time! I think I was able to learn about the various ethnic groups and cultures in the region known as Polynesia. It was fun to see a few selected guests go up on stage and participate in an entertaining show.
I experienced hula dancing for the first time and realized how difficult it is. I can't move my hips as smoothly and softly as that!
What I really liked was the fire dance! I had seen it on a television program before, but seeing it live was a completely different level of intensity!
I was surprised to see such small children able to perform fire dancing!
The final grand dance show was composed of a large number of performers, and it was very moving. The sight of them passionately performing was very impressive. However, if I were to express a dissatisfaction, I would have preferred the content to be a bit richer and easier to understand. They used a large screen to explain the flow and content of the show, but since all the audio that accompanied the visuals was in English, I couldn't fully grasp the content. I was watching while imagining what they wanted to convey through the visuals.
初めてポリネシア文化センターにいきました!!
ポリネシアと言われる地域には、色々な民族がある事や、色々な文化がある事を知る事が出来たと思います。
一般のお客さんが数名指名されて、ステージに上がり面白ろおかしく行うショーが楽しかったです。
フラダンスの体験を始めてして、フランダンスの難しさをしりました。あんなに柔らかく揺ら揺らと腰を動かせません。
気に入ったのがやっぱりファイヤーダンス!!
以前、テレビ番組の放送で見た事はありましたが、やっぱり実際、生で見るのは迫力が違いました!!
こんな小さい子がここまでファイヤーダンスを出来る事にビックリさせられました!!
ラストの最大級のダンスショーは、大人数で構成されていて感動しました。
必死にショーを行う姿がとても印象的でした。
けれど、不満を上げますと、もうちょっと内容が濃いくて、分かりやすい内容だと良かったなぁと思いました。
ショーの流れと言いますか、内容を説明する為に、
大型スクリーンを使っていましたが、その映像と同時に流れる音声は全て英語だった為、よく内容が把握できませんでした。
映像を見てこんな事を伝えたいのかぁって想像しながらの鑑賞でした。
