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>

英語必須

Reviewed by: reikocco

日本人の参加は少なく、バスの中もショーの中でも面白いおじさんが喋りまくる、時に話しかけられるので、英語がある程度わからないと厳しいです。一緒に行った70代の両親は楽しめず、居眠りしてました。。ショーの前に色々なactivityがあり、参加してみるととても楽しかったです。食事はルアウショーのビュッフェにしては美味しかったです。ショーの中でフラが占める割合はほんの少しで、それほどクオリティも高くないです。圧巻だったのは大人数でのファイヤーダンスでした。アメリカとハワイの空気を随所に感じるルアウショーでした。

Chief's Luau - Polynesian Show with Authentic Award-Winning Fire Knife Dancing

Simply amazing!

Reviewed by: Daniel Haquet

We stayed in Oahu for our 10yr anniversary and this was attended the night of our very anniversary and all I can say is that the Luau was amazing. When everyone celebrating and anniversary was asked to go on stage, given flowers, torches came out and they shut off the lights and had the couples dance under the stars, it made our night. We could not have asked for a better experience. We had a great time, the staff was amazing and the event was more awesome than I could have ever anticipated. Highly recommend.

  • The backdrop was amazing!

  • The chief was such a character a genuinly awesome.

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>

ハワイ最後の夜にぴったりでした

Reviewed by: ママさん

口コミ通り、日本人はほとんどいませんでした。大半がオーストラリア人とアメリカ本土からの観光客で、少し韓国人の方もいました。
バスもショーもずっと英語ですが、少し英語のできる人ならわかるかなといった感じです。特にショーの司会の方はゆっくりとした英語で話されていたので、大体理解できました。ただ、外国のショーでありがちな下ネタがよく入るので、お年頃のお子さんと行くのは少し恥ずかしいかもしれませんが、話も上手で面白かったです。

ロイヤルプランで参加しましたが、席はロイヤルプランの中でも後ろでした。怖がりな4歳の娘もいたので、最前列では迫力がありすぎてダメだったと思うので、ちょうどよかったです。4歳までは無料なので、ひざの上だと思ってましたが、子供いすを用意してくださいました。このプランではショートガイドツアーがあると書いてあり、楽しみにしていましたが、ありませんでした。会場に行く途中でカメの水槽があったので、見れることは見れましたが、プランに関係なく皆さん見れます。ロミロミサーモン&ポイ試食というのもよくわかりませんでした。なかったと思います。
飲み物も一人3枚付いていましたが、ショーが終わる前にはバーが閉まっており、全部使いきれませんでした。ウェイターさんがいるので、頼めば持ってきてくれるようでした。
ロイヤルプランの端っこの席だと、スタンダードプランのすぐ横なので、スタンダードプランでもそんなに悪くはないのかなと思います。

アクティビティは、いつの間にか始まっていて、自ら積極的に参加しなくてはいけないです。人も多いので、2つほどしか体験できませんでした。

ショーは、他のを見たことありませんが、とてもよかったです。ただちょっと物足りなかったです。司会の方のトークや観客をステージに上げてのトークも多く、もっとフラを見ていたかったような気もしますが、最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。娘も飽きることなく席に座っていましたし、ワイキキからもそう遠くなく、ハワイ最後の夜に、大変満足でした。

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

fun (if a little tiring) for all ages!

Reviewed by: debby

the package includes 4:00 pm late admission, followed by the ali'i luau (dinner and show), then about an hour break before the start of "Ha" (the night show). there's a lot to see at the PSC and unfortunately you don't get to enjoy much of the park with a late admission, so if we'd had it over to do again we would've tried to get a package that let us enter earlier. the luau was really enjoyable, and the food in the buffet was surprisingly tasty! there's an hour between the end of the luau buffet and "Ha", so we went to see the Hawaiian history movie (sorry, can't remember the name of it), which involved 15 minutes of watching gorgeous scenery. "Ha" itself reminded many of us in the group of a polynesian version of "Lion King the musical", but the fire dancing finale was spectacular--definitely the highlight.

Reviewed by: Michelle

We chose the Royal package, it was alot of fun sitting up close and getting to eat first! There were lots of activities to do before dinner and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The alcoholic drinks are very "light", drink your free ones but save your money on the others. Buy some of the hand made jewelry instead!!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Great time!

Reviewed by: Sarah

We had an excellent time here. We were picked up via motorcoach in Waikiki at 10:20 am. Our bus driver was hilarious and kept us entertained the hour we were on the bus. Beautiful drive there. We arrived at the center at 1145 and the center opened at 12. I would highly recommend a tour guide! There was SO much to do and see and I feel we didn't get to see even 1/2 of it all due to the center being so big and the small events starting at different times. The Ohana Hawaiian luau dinner was delicious! Pig, pulled pork, teriyaki chicken breasts, fresh fruit, poke, salads, fish, desserts, and so much more! The show during dinner was great as well. Ha, the breath of life is worth every penny! We got back to Waikiki around 11pm. It was a very full but very fun day!

本格的ハワイアンショー

Reviewed by: moe

他の口コミも見つつ、悩んだ末にこのツアーにしましたが、大満足でした!!

基本的に全編英語の為、日本語じゃないと…という方には辛いかもしれません。私たちは折角海外なので…と参加しました。雰囲気で伝わってくる楽しさもありますし、細部まで分からなくても大丈夫という方なら全然ok!

バスガイドさんの盛り上げ方もとても上手で、聞き取れない時も雰囲気で分かりました。

着いたら簡単なご飯とドリンクの説明があり、会場へ。会場は屋外で、日が暮れると少し肌寒く羽織りを持っていて正解でした。

自由参加のハワイの遊びやクラフトコーナーがあり、少ししてから本編スタート!豚の丸焼きパフォーマンスがありましたが、前の方に行けずあまり見えませんでした。
バイキング形式のご飯ではハワイならではの料理やケーキもあり、美味しかったです。

ショーはフラからファイヤーダンス等色々で、飽きません。観客を舞台に上げてのパフォーマンスもあり、さらに盛り上がりました。
ちなみに私たちはハネムーンでしたが、このステージパフォーマンスで素敵なサプライズがあり、本当に嬉しかったです。ハネムーン、記念日の方は是非!

全体を通して、とても大満足でしたので星5つにしましたが、初めに書いた通り、前提として全編英語でも問題無い方に限ります。

  • ディナーはこんな感じでした。

Polynesian Culture Center Tour, Luau and show

Reviewed by: Val T.

We had a great time at the cultural center and love all the upgrades they have done. Our last visit was 6 years ago and we were pleasantly surprised to find that the most amazing host ever had just returned 6 months ago, we all remembered her from our first visit. I must say this is her calling and we will be back. Welcome back Miss Sia, your are truly a blessing to the center. Thank you for the special shout out to my son who celebrated a birthday and graduation, that really topped off our experience Thank you to our awesome guides Russell and Sofy (sorry if spelled wrong). The show was amazing as well... I definitely recommend the full guided tour for a full day of fun rain or shine.

Chief's Luau st Sea Life Park

Reviewed by: GeraldineRobinson

I have been to a number of Luau's on Oahu and this one is by far the best, mostly due to the brilliant 'Chief' who will keep you laughing throughout the evening. The food is excellent, the Hawaiian dancing is magical, the fire dance is spectacular, the whole evening is just total enjoyment from beginning to end. A show not to be missed.

I booked the late entry since we had a cruise in the morning. We had some time to go around a few villages but we wish we booked the all day package. The show was beyond my expectation and they did a superb job putting it together. It was very dramatic and entertaining. You must visit Polynesian Cultural Center when you come to Hawaii.

最高でした!一見の価値あり!!

Reviewed by: nopco

 70代の母(英語はほぼ不可)と参加しました。ホテル送迎の大きなバスにそれぞれ担当の案内係の方がいて、日本人が少ない中も、道中車内を和ませてくださり、会場でも気にかけてくださってとても安心できました。ショー会場でもごついパフォーマーの方々が、笑顔で誘導してくださり、雰囲気はとても良かったです。
 席はど真ん中の最前列で、向かいにはもっとご高齢の母息子らしき白人ペアと4人だけで、お話もしやすく気楽に過ごせました。他の後方の席では若い白人グループが盛り上がっているところもあったので、体も小さい私たちにはステージも丸見えのロイヤルプランで良かったです。
 着席してすぐ激しい雨に10分ほど見舞われ、テーブルに用意された雨合羽を着て避難し、席に戻るとすでにサーブされていたサラダや飲み物などびしょ濡れでした。メインのお皿は蓋で保護されなんとか食べられました。ショーの最初数曲の歌のみが終わると(本格的な踊りが始まる前に)、食事もまだ終わらないうちに下げに来られましたので、早く食べ終わるのが賢明と思いました。
 メインの男性は、本当にお話が面白く、ステージにたくさん人を上げてはみんなをいじるのがとても上手で、そんじょそこらのお笑いの人など比較にならないほどでした。
特にお元気な中高年の日本人グループのお客さんのいじり方が絶妙で、若干日本人であることが恥ずかしく思えるような部分もありましたが、会場全体を笑いの渦に巻き込んでいました。
その一方で、家族や夫婦の愛情について感動的なお話もされ心温まる素敵なショーでした。
 最後には、かっこいいパフォーマーのお兄さんたちや他のお客さんたちとみんなで手をつないで歌を歌い踊って全員参加といった感じで終わりました。
 母もだいたい意味が分かってみんなと同じタイミングで笑っており、大変喜んでまた来たいと申しておりました。
 また機会があれば是非参加したいと思います!
 あのメインのお方のお名前がわかると嬉しいです!

PCC experience

Reviewed by: Chen family

The shows are very good. The night show could be better explained. May be a printed program to explain each dance, the meaning and connection to the story line. The dinner show is good too . The MC is wonderful but it will be good to have some quiet moment for table conversation and not so rushed to eat. But this is just our view for your consideration. Overall, it was a good experience.

Best Guided Tour EVER! Two Thumbs up WAY UP...

Reviewed by: Brando Quinn

I really had no idea of what was in store for my wife and I when I signed up for the Super Ambassador Full Day Package with Private guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it turned out to be the best guided tour we could have ever anticipated! The comfortable Motor Coach picked us up promptly at our designated hotel location. The motor coach driver and guide were gracious and told us various facts, pointed out points of interest along the way, and set the tone for the rest of the day that would be spent at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

When we arrived the group was given their designated tickets and soon our guide a student of BYU University and from the Philippines introduced himself. Datz began our tour and skillfully navigated us through each of the Polynesian Islands exhibits granting us front row seats to each show, gave us back stage tours, and overall made this one of the best tours I have ever been on! We were delighted to experience the rich cultural heritages of each island group, ate fantastic food at the Luau, and were fascinated with the finale show "Ha' The Breath of Life".

Two thumbs up WAY up! Would I recommend this Super Ambassador Package with Private Guide? Absolutely!

Commercial

Reviewed by: Simon

It was beautiful, fun, exhaustive, but very commercial. I truly wanted to know more about the history of the first Hawaiian, but I was let down on that expectation. The dancers, the show at the end, the luau, the many islands with their respective activities were very interresting and beautiful, though. It's worth it, but dont expect it to replace the viewing of a good documentary. Also, the fact that this olace is ran by Mormons is extremely apparent through many not so subtle references in history plaques, or the simple fact that there was no alcool at the Luau. Still a solid activity, and it was worth it. We had the full day package (110, I think).

  • Reconstitution of a marriage ceremony, we took pictures with the actors.

  • Luau intertainment

  • Floating display of the different polynesian cultures

Spending a day at the PCC is always a highlight of my visits to The Islands! Although it is a long day, it is an entertaining and extremely educational day. I strongly recommend that you take advantage of the Ambassador package since you will have a guide for the entire day and can enjoy either the luau or the prime rib dinner prior to the evening show. I did the luau this year and really enjoyed it. The night show is awesome!

Got the ambassador pkg and the prime buffet. Most folks didn't get the prime buffet. Really enjoyed our time. For me the ambassador package and prime buffet option was really worth it.
