Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Great experience
Reviewed by: Lilan
We only bought the entrance tickets and drove ourselves to the Polynesian Center. The journey there was also a wonderful experience—we really enjoyed the views and the local residents. The center was very beautiful, and there were also lovely stalls where you could buy souvenirs. The staff was very hospitable. We enjoyed the many presentations from different islands. We enjoyed the welcome show. The final show was amazing, as was the buffet. Our compliments!
Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

You gotta go
Reviewed by: David A
My son and I learned so much about the polynesian people and their culture and pride in their ancestry and the spokes person for each island was both funny and informative. I would definitely do this again and the life of breath show was amazing, sat on the front row and a few performers shook our hands after the show!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Must try
Reviewed by: Klaage
Fantastisk oplevelse. Vi prøvede også for 18 år siden. Grunden til kun 4 stjerner er, at der er for kort tid til at opleve det hele. Vi kom sent derop pga vejarbejde (men havde en fantastisk chauffør), så show på vandet er godt igang og alle pladser optaget.
Der var flere rækker tomme sæder ved det store aftenshow. Hvorfor ikke lade andre sidde der, så de ser bedre?

Mauka Warriors Luau - Hawaii's Best Thrilling Fire Knife Dance & Polynesian Show
Great Luau
Reviewed by: Hawaii Travelers
I’ve been to many luaus and this one was great. The warrior stories and performance was stunning. The food and drinks were good and authentic. The openness of the venue and seating arrangements were appreciated.
Only aspect that was a bit disappointing was the bus/shuttle that took us to the luau: 1) there were a lot of sick people on the bus coughing and sneezing, it would have been mindful to ask they were a mask or include instructions if sick not to take the shuttle 2) the shuttle stayed at the pickup locations for a long time, longer than they should have… this delayed our bus ride. Stick to the rules and please don’t delay other guests. 3) traffic and freeway accidents can’t be prevented or predicted, but if we left the bus stops on time it could have given us more time for pre luau activities.
Consider driving and not taking the bus.

My family had a great time at the Chief's Luau Show. We paid more for the Royal seats and received the royal treatment. I also got a free weaved bowl, went onstage, and received a bouquet of flowers since we had an anniversary >20 years. Great dancing - loved the fire show. A great show and good food. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Oahu.

Reviewed by: Mayra
We enjoyed learning about the different cultures. The best one was Samoa. The chief had us laughing the entire time. We even bought his paintings afterwards and he signed them. The buffet dinner was amazing. I recommend getting a tour guide as they can give you more information and take you through all the villages quicker.

Aloha Kai Sea Life Park Luau - Oceanfront Polynesian Dinner Show & Fire Dance
Great value!
Reviewed by: Sammpanduh
We took advantage of the Sea Life Park tickets before hand and had a full day of fun and enriching experience. The luau was educational as well as entertaining and all of the performers were engaging and talented! From the daring of the tree climb to fire knives in the wind, we were blown away by the commitment of the team. The food was good and plenty abundant. The bar makes a mean Mai Tai.
If you do the park first, don't allocate TOO much time unless you have serious interest, it really only takes a couple hours to get the full experience.

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Awesome show
Reviewed by: Dani
The way this show was organized and put together was amazing. We enjoyed every aspect of the show. They made it feel like you were a part of the performance the entire time. The only reason I gave the good rating was because the photographer didn't take enough time arranging our family of 17 so you could see everyone in the photo. Also she quickly snapped the two pictures before we were ready so eyes were closed in both pictures. We also wanted individual family photos and she wouldn't do it for us. She would have made more money by all of us buying a photo package. The food was OK, it was a little cold and the pork was dried out.
Plan extra time to get there from Waikiki. Traffic is terrible.

I highly recommend Chief's Luau -- exciting and authentic entertainment!!
Reviewed by: LB
I have to say I really enjoyed the Chief's Luau! After I got past the fact that it was situated in a water park, and got to the actual venue, I was able to forget there was anything there but the Luau! The grounds and setting were lovely, and I had a beautiful view of the show. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the entertainment some of the best I've seen at a luau, and I've been to several. For authentic entertainment and a good experience, this one was great!!
I recommend the upgraded seating -- very VIP treatment!
