Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Best Time Ever
Reviewed by: Singh
This is far the best show we attended in Hawaii. I hate to see the same shows but this one we will definitely go back and see again. I would highly recommend getting a tour guide to make your experience that much better. Place is huge and will need at least 2 days to see all the villages.
Night show left me speechless and in Awe. I didn't want to end and didn't blink once. Great performers and comedy show.

伝統ルアウ＆ハワイアンショー「チーフズルアウ」豪華ビュッフェディナーと元世界チャンピオンのファイヤーダンスが圧巻のショー＜ウェット・アンド・ワイルド・ハワイ内＞
価格の割には充実した内容でした。
Reviewed by: 64歳男性旅行者
ツアーガイドは英語のみですが、付いていくだけなので問題はありませんでした。スタンダードプランでしたが、結構近くで見れました。トークが多いですので、英語が解ればより楽しめたと思います。ファイアーダンスは大勢で迫力がありました。料理は一般的なビュッフェ料理で、ハワイ伝統料理はカルーアポークくらいでした。ハワイ料理が目的でなければ、十分楽しめる内容でした。

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing
Luau
Reviewed by: Greg Jones
What a great experience. The buss was right on time. The driver was funny and knowledgeable. She talked about the island as we drove to the Sea Life center. The Laura was very well organized, the setting was amazing. Made you feel like you were miles from anywhere. The show and culture was perfect. The fire dancers were my favorite. Food! Wow, very well done. I highly recommend this Laura. We were not disappointed, I actually figured these thing are touristy and would not have much Culture in the program. Not this one. It's great I thought.

A good way to explore the Hawaiian culture
Reviewed by: Nancy & Shirley
The Polynesian Cultural Center presented shows from the various groups that make up the Hawaiian Culture. The final show was good but too long and the food at the Luau was OK but nothing spectacular.

This tour needs to be refreshed!
Reviewed by: drg
The bus ride to the Polynesian Cultural Center was ok. The guide who spoke most of the way there was not very entertaining. He did pass on a few useful tidbits, but not many considering he spoke for almost an hour and a half. The guide we got at the PCC was difficult to understand and was apparently supposed to shepherd about 20 or 30 people around. Since you had to be very close to him to be able to hear and understand him, most of what he said was missed by most of his charges. He led us from presentation to presentation for 2.5 hours, then, as he sent us on our way to our dinners, he gave us maps of the place. It would have been nice to have a program or something to explain what it was we were seeing in these presentations. The Luau was just ok. Waiters were passing out drinks in pineapples to select people...I was unaware of any offer of those drinks. I assume there was a separate charge, but I have no idea. The food was mediocre and the show after dinner was not much better. Then we went to the main event...HA, breath of life. Once again, we were not given any explanation of what the performance was showing us. A brief one-page synopsis would have been extremely helpful. Overall, I was very disappointed with this tour!

We had a great experience at the Luau even though we had a lot of rain. Don't worry, they provided ponchos for everyone, which helped keep us warm too. My son loved the fire dancers and the food was good too. The chief who narrated the show was hilarious.

Good value and great location
Reviewed by: Roc & Nats
This was a must do activity and was made excellent by our host "Cousin Bo" who was informative and entertaining. The event itself was fantastic, the show was very professional and the story of the Pacific islands well executed. The fire dance at the end was visually stunning and well worth it. Location was beautiful and the trip there was pretty too. The activities and food were probably not my ideal, but we would absolutely recommend going for the actual performance. We booked the royal experience. The chief is a real comedian and the evening was good fun all round.

Chief's Luau at Sealife Park
Reviewed by: Sandra, Sydney
We have been to Hawaii a couple of times and have been to most if the luaus, but we think the Chiefs Luau has been the best one by far. The food and drinks were very good and the location is very beautiful. The Chief was very funny and the whole show was very entertaining- great hula dancers and exeptional fire dancers. If you are staying on Oahu, do yourselves a favour and go see the Chiefs Luau - you won't be disappointed.

It was the first activity out of four planned for our week. Everyone of us really enjoyed our day here at the PCC this was due to our tour guide mostly but all who were involved were also great. We had the best lunch at pounders and again the dinner was to die for. The breath of life show was an amazing experience. We definitely would recommend this to everyone we know. Aloha and Mahalo Nui loa.

Reviewed by: Debra Jones
My sister and I wanna say thank you all at big chief's luau. First luau ever and we had a blast. So glad I had chosen Big Chief's. By far the best even though I'd had never been to another. The family oriented feeling you received you felt as if you had known them longer then you had. The food and entertainment was awesome. Not to mention the lesson in life to learn from . Teaching cultures and hawaii traditions was special. much love to the crew at Big chief's for making us feel so welcome. I would recommend to anyone I know. Even the bus tour guides was top stars.

An unforgettable day
Reviewed by: Steven
We chose the whole day outing at the Polynesian Culture Center and we didn't regret it. Our transportation was on time, the escort was very entertaining and informative and the drive from Maui to the Center beautiful.
We visited as many island sites as possible and found each different and informative and also entertaining. The water parade was gorgeous.
In the afternoon we went for the luau that was extremely well organized. The food was ample and good.
The luau that followed was breathtaking. The dances, the fire dances, the costumes, the colors each and every one was superb.
When all was over we found our bus that brought us back to our hotel. The day was over but the memories lingered on.

Polynesian Cultural Center is a Wonderful Experience!
Reviewed by: mblock
Amazing! It was great to see how rich and important the polynesian culture is. I learned a lot about the history, arts, music, history and games in Hawaii, New Zealand, Tonga, Tahiti, Samoa and Fiji. The cultural center is well organized and the shows and exhibitions are really neat. The staff member are very kind and polite. The food was delicious and the final show (Ha! Breath of Life) was fantastic! Don't miss the Hawaiian Journey movie, it features amazing landscapes, majestic mountains, waterfalls, volcanoes and lush forests.
Polynesian Cultural Center is a must-do in Hawaii, specially if you have kids.
