伝統ルアウ&ハワイアンショー「パラダイス・コーブ 」開放的なオーシャンフロントで本場の雰囲気を味わえるショーやサンセット鑑賞<現地集合可/コオリナ・リゾート内>

I was impressed by the bus guide's humor! バスガイドの面白さに脱帽☆

Reviewed by: YSK

It was quite interesting!! We participated as a couple, and in Hawaii, which has a lot of Japanese people, I finally felt like I was overseas! Among the tour participants, I noticed that there were only a handful of Japanese people, and we communicated in English from start to finish! I think it's a must for those who can speak English, want to speak, are practicing, or want to immerse themselves in the feeling of being abroad!! The food was delicious, and as everyone has mentioned, the content was very fulfilling, but what I found particularly interesting was the bus guide's stories during the bus rides☆ Please join and experience it for yourself!

かなり面白かったです!! カップルで参加したのですが、日本人の多いハワイで、やっと海外に来た気分になりました! ツアー客の中で見たところ日本人はおよそ片手で数えられる人数しかおらず、最初から最後までずっと英語でのコミュニケーションでした! 英語が話せる人、話したい人、練習中の人、海外に来た気分に浸りたい人は必見だと思います!!  料理も美味しく、内容も皆さんが書いておられるようにとても充実したものですが、その中でも特に面白かったのは、行き帰りのバスの中での『バスガイドさんの話』でした☆  ぜひ、参加して体験してみてください!

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

A must for anyone visiting Oahu!

Reviewed by: Cousin Loreta

I am so happy that I was able to participate on this activity - it was WONDERFUL! I loved my Cousin Lloyd who was my group guide... everyone was wonderful, friendly, informative, and very respectful of their responsibilities - portraying to us the visitors a part of history and sharing of their culture. Everyone was funny, attentive and kind. I loved it! I will definitely do this again for my future visits. The Luau was delicious and Ha: The Breath of Life was incredible... too bad the video was not available for me to bring for my family to see in AZ. A big thanks for everyone that makes this possible from funding, to costumes, practices, etc... I truly appreciate all the work and effort involved in this. God bless!

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Quality

Reviewed by: sparky

The Laua is a special Hawaiian treat. It is an event that everyone should experience for the feel of the islands. The personnel was terrific, and met the quality standards we expected. The performers after dinner were Frist Class. They should be visited by many for just the pure ability of their craft. The women were beautiful, and very nice afterward to have photos etc. We have attended before and the quality is the best.

First off, the paradise cove men are like gods. Also the girls are beautiful. Well, this was very enjoyable and the food was amazing. The activities were fun too. My dad actually did stuff, and he never does anything. The staff was friendly... the only thing I would say is their bar needs to pick up the speed. But other than that, fun! Highly recommend it! The show was so fun!

I went to Hawaii for the first time during Silver Week. シルバーウィークに初めてハワイに行って来ました。

Reviewed by: よしのり

I participated in a tour to watch the evening show that started in the afternoon.

Since it was quite far from Waikiki, I thought I could catch up on some sleep during the ride. However, the woman in charge provided interesting explanations about things we saw from the bus window, shared stories related to them, and talked about her own experiences, which were all very engaging, and I couldn't sleep at all.

Following her advice, I had dinner at the buffet right after we arrived, allowing me to enjoy my meal without overlapping with those who had arrived earlier for dinner. (Since the bus arrived relatively smoothly, I couldn't participate in the program, but I was able to take a leisurely walk around the park after eating.)

The show featured various dances and costumes that followed a storyline, and I felt it was worth participating in this tour.

Next time I go to Hawaii, I would like to join a daytime program and also try taking photos in Polynesian costumes that were near the show venue.

午後集合の夜のショーを観るツアーに参加しました。

ワイキキからかなり離れた場所にあるため、車中では睡眠がとれる!と考えていましたが、
担当してくださった女性の方が道中、車窓から目についたものの説明やそれに関する話、ご自身の話などをしてくださったのが、たいへん興味深くおもしろく、一睡もできませんでした。

その方のアドバイス通り、到着後すぐにディナーバイキングで食事をとったため、昼から来ていた方たちの夕食時に重ならずに、ゆっくりと食事することができました。
(バスが比較的スムーズに到着したため、プログラムに参加することは無理でしたが、食後に園内をぐるっと歩いて一周することができました。)

ショーは、ストーリーにそっていろいろな踊り、衣装を見ることができ、このツアーに参加してよかったと思いました。

次にまたハワイに行くときは、昼間のプログラムにも参加してみたいのと、あとショー会場近くにあったポリネシアの衣装を着て写真を撮るのをやってみたいです。

First luau

Reviewed by: Kathy

My husband and I booked the Ambassador package which provided a small group guided tour. DeGe, our guide, was knowledgeable and funny. The tour didn't give us much time to see each village but the center is too big to be seen in one day so, with DeGe, we were able to see a little bit of everything. The luau was fun and the food was good. The Ha performance was also very entertaining. Well worth the money for the package.

A wonderful luau show. 素敵なルアウショー

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

In Waikiki, various shows are held. The most representative one is the hula show, but I definitely wanted to experience the traditional Hawaiian luau show at least once! So, I participated. Basically, everything is explained in English during the show, but it's not a problem if you don't speak English. I think if you join with a positive mindset of "Let's have fun!", it will be even more enjoyable.

ワイキキではいろんなショーを開催しています。代表的なのはフラショーですが、やはりハワイ伝統のルアウショーを1度は体験してみたい!ということで参加しました。基本的にすべて英語で説明されショーは続きますが、英語がダメな人でも問題ありません。『楽しもう!』とポジティブな気持ちで参加されると、より楽しくなると思います。

I saw in other people's posts that they had their event on the rooftop, but during our time, we had it in a spacious courtyard, which felt very open and was great. You can also see the ocean.
The show featured various dances, had a good rhythm, and was enjoyable. The host spoke in English, and there were moments when some audience members participated. (The foreign guests were very lively and engaged.)
The fire dance was amazing!
At the end, there were several dancers at the exit, and we were able to take photos with them.

Experience Hawaii ハワイ体感

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

On October 11th, two women in their 50s who couldn't speak English participated. Most of the participants were American, and there were only eight Japanese people, including us. The male guide kept the atmosphere lively on the bus (all in English). I didn't understand everything, but it was bright and fun. When we arrived at the location, we received a mai tai and a shell lei, and we took some great commemorative photos. They were selling them for $15 on the way back. Before the show started, we experienced activities like spear throwing, a bowling-like game with stones and wood, and canoeing. Everything was free. There were also people making leis. The sunset was magnificent, and while I was taking photos, the show began with the sound of a conch shell. The show started on the beach and then moved to a circular stage. This show is so wonderful that you shouldn't miss it... We moved to the table for the final meal and watched the show while enjoying a buffet. It was truly amazing and very satisfying. The return bus ride was also fun, making us feel like we were in America. Both of us were still thrilled even after we got back to the hotel.

10/11に英語が喋れない50代女子二人で参加しました。参加者の大半がアメリカ人で日本人は私たちを入れって8名でした。男のガイドさんがバスの中を盛り上げ(全て英語)意味は良くわかりませんが、明るくて楽しかったです。現地に着くとマイタイと貝のれいを貰い記念写真をパッチリ、帰りに15ドルで販売しています。ショウが始まるまで、槍投げ・石と木のボーリングの様なもの・カヌーを体験しました。全て無料です。レイ作りをしている方もいました。サンセットが素晴らしく写真を撮っていたら、ほら貝の音でショウが始まりました。ショウは最初ビーチから始まり、次は円形になった舞台に移ります。このショウが素晴らしいので見逃さないように・・・最後の食事をするテーブルへ移動し、バイキングを食べながらショウを観ます。とても素晴らしく満足できました。帰りのバスもアメリカに来たんだなと思える盛り上がりで楽しかったです。二人ともホテルに着いてからも感激冷め遣らずでした。

My friend and I went to this Luau at the Hilton. Wwhen I heard where it was I thought it was strange to be on top of the roof of a building but you really have nice view of the Lagoon and the Ocean. I like that the tables are a U shape around the stage because everyone had a great view of the dancers! They even had me up on stage to try and blow the Conch Shell, it was hard but I did it! The food was really good, I went back for seconds of the Poke and Pork. The dancers were really talented and the fire twirling guys at the end were awesome.

This was our first luau and it was fun, lots of activities to do prior to dinner and the main shows. Staff was all very friendly. Only that kinda sucked was that it started raining on us and it wasnt until the 3rd pour down that they began to hand out ponchos, so i guess i would recommend to bring an umbrella because all festivities do occur outdoors! Other than that, food was delicious, show was fun, staff was friendly, drinks were stiff, and there was plenty to do!!!! Would most definately recommend.

I joined in the afternoon, but I wish I had participated a bit earlier because it was so much fun. The show had a storyline, and even though I didn't understand the English, I still enjoyed it. The only disappointment was the food... There was Japanese food, but it was a bit different from the taste of Japan... However, since we were in Hawaii, the cheerful atmosphere made it all okay! I attended with my family, and everyone was satisfied. I heard that the content of the show changes next time, so I would like to participate again.

午後から参加しましたが、もう少し早い時間から参加すれば良かったと思うぐらいに楽しかったです。

残念だったのはやはり食事・・・日本食もあったのですが少し日本の味とは違う・・・でもハワイですからうきうき感でこれもよし!!です。

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Whenever I come to Hawaii, I make it a point to participate in a luau show. This time, I attended the show at the Hilton Hotel for the first time, and it was a lot of fun. Also, everything was in English.

I was quite disappointed that the venue was on the rooftop of a building. The ones I've attended before were all near the ocean, which created a much better atmosphere and was very pleasant. It may vary from person to person, but for me, being on the rooftop just didn't quite do it. I don't think I'll participate again next time.

The food was average. They also had options for children, which I think is great for those with little ones.

ハワイに来たら毎回ルアウショーに参加することにしてます。今回初めてヒルトンホテルのショーに参加しましたが、ショーはとても楽しかったです。あと、すべて英語です。

開催場所がビルの屋上だったことが、私にはとても残念でした。今までに参加したものは、海の近くばかりだったので、とても雰囲気がよく気持ちがいいものでした。人それぞれだと思いますが、私は、屋上であることが、正直いまひとつでした。次回は参加しないと思います。
お料理は普通でした。お子様用も用意されていて、小さい子をお連れの方にはよいと思いました。

Honestly, I was not satisfied with the food. It's not that it was particularly bad, but it wasn't delicious either.
There were many mistakes in the show as well, so it wasn't perfect.
However, you can clearly see that it's not just Waikiki in Oahu, Hawaii, but also the old town and the not-so-beautiful coastline.
It's worth visiting once, but it's not somewhere you would go multiple times.

料理は、正直、満足できなかった。特別、不味いわけではないけど、美味しくもない。
ショーも、ミスも多々あったし、完璧なものではない。
でも、ハワイ=オアフ島のワイキキ。ではなく、古い町並み、キレイではない海岸がある事がよくわかる。
一度は行ってみるのもいいけど、何度も行くものではない。

I was considering what to do after moving from the remote island. I signed up for the Polynesian Cultural Center with a light heart, as it included dinner. Shortly after we started, the bus broke down... but a replacement bus was arranged quickly, and thanks to the driver, we arrived on schedule. This is also a good memory. The park is quite large, and we were able to enjoy it thoroughly for the whole afternoon. The show exceeded my expectations. This was my third trip to Hawaii, and it was my first time visiting, but I definitely think it's worth a visit.

離島から移動してからの行動をどうしようか考え。まだ一度も体験していない、ポリネシア文化センターでと軽い気持ちで申し込みました。ディナー付でしたし。スタート間もなくバスが故障・・でもすぐに代わりのバスが手配され運転手のおかげで予定通り到着?。これもいい思い出です。園内はかなり広いく、午後一日十分堪能できました。ショーも期待以上でした。今回3回目のハワイで初めて行きましたが、ぜひ一度いってみるといいと思いますよ。

This is a MUST do for EVERYONE. We did the VIP box at the back and had the best seats in the place. The stage is still pretty close from the box and it is raised up at the same level as the VIP box so you see over top of everyone else who is in the general seating area. The VIP treatment really makes the whole experience so much better you get 2 pictures taken and don't have to wait in line ups. I couldn't imagine waiting in the long line that formed for the buffet!! There were lots of booths and activities before the dinner and show started we wandered around and watched some of the acts and tried the games they had set up, We walked out to the beach and the rocks which had an amazing view. It was just such a good time, perfect for the first night or two in Hawaii to get you in the "Hawaiian" mood!!! If you are going to do this activity do the VIP, you'll be happy you did :) The show was really good. Kids will love this but if you are a couple it is quite romantic!!

The food was also hotel cuisine, and it could have been improved. It wasn't good. As for the show, the one at Sheraton Kauai was more interesting as it traced the history of Hawaii. Overall, it was quite disappointing.

Enjoy the traditional luau! 伝統ルアウを堪能!

Reviewed by: Lei

On September 1st, I participated in the Standard plan.

As others have shared in their experiences, stepping onto the large welcoming bus felt like entering another world! We were the only Japanese people, with most of the group coming from the mainland United States, along with some guests from Australia and Russia. The guide understood a bit of Japanese, but since all the talks during the ride, including tour notes, were in English, it might not be suitable for those who don't understand English at all.

Paradise Cove is located to the west of Waikiki, beyond the airport and Pearl Harbor, and since the bus ride is long, I recommend bringing a light jacket if you're sensitive to the air conditioning.

Upon arrival, we were welcomed with a welcome drink (ID is required for alcohol) and received shell leis for a commemorative photo. If you like the photo, you can purchase it on the way back. I think it was around $15.

We were guided to our dining seats, and after writing our names on the sticker on the table to secure our spots, we had free time. The park offered various activities and crafts, so we spent our time freely playing a game similar to javelin called Ooihe and getting Polynesian art tattoos (which wash off) until it was time for dinner.

The meal was a Hawaiian luau buffet, and the lomi lomi salmon and kalua pig were especially delicious. The plan included two drink tickets, which allowed us to exchange them for cocktails from a designated menu.

A point to note is to confirm your bus number and return time carefully, and as mentioned in the notes, a separate tip payment is required. This is a custom that may not be familiar in Japan, so it's easy to forget, but even though the tour fee has been paid, a small tip is appreciated when receiving crafts or drinks.

The show performed on the outdoor stage was spectacular! Along with hula and live music, the fire performance after a 15-minute break was definitely worth seeing. The beautiful sunset we unexpectedly witnessed added to the experience, making it a wonderful memory.

9月1日、スタンダードのプランに参加してきました。

他の方の体験談通り、お迎えの大型バスに乗り込むとそこは別世界!日本人は私達のみでアメリカ本土からが大半、他にオーストラリアやロシアからいらした方もいました。ガイドさんは日本語も少しわかる方でしたが、ツアーの注意点も含め車中でのトークは全て英語のため、英語が全くわからないという人には不向きかもしれません。

パラダイス・コーブはワイキキからハイウェイをひたすら西へ、空港を越えパール・ハーバーも越えた所にあり、バスの乗車時間が長いのでエアコンの効きすぎが気になる方は上着が1枚あるといいと思います。

到着するとウェルカム・ドリンク(アルコールはIDの提示が必要です)で歓迎され、貝殻のレイを首にかけてもらって記念撮影。この写真は、気に入れば帰りに購入することができました。15ドル位だったかな??

お食事の席まで案内され、席を確保するためテーブルに貼られたシールに名前を書いたらそこからはフリータイム。パーク内は様々なアクティビティやクラフトなどが体験できるようになっていたので、私達はオオイヘというヤリ投げのようなゲームや、ポリネシアン・アートのタトゥー(洗えば落ちるもの)をしてもらったりしてお食事までの時間を自由に過ごしました。

お食事はハワイアン・ルアウ・ビュッフェで、特にロミロミ・サーモンとカルア・ピッグが美味しかったです。今回のプランにはドリンクチケットが2枚含まれていたので、決められたメニューの中からカクテルと交換することができました。

注意点としては、自分のバス番号と帰りの時間をしっかり確認しておくことと、備考欄にもある通り別途チップの支払いが必要ということです。クラフトやドリンクをサーブしてもらった時など、日本には馴染みのない習慣なので忘れがちですが、ツアー代金は支払済みといえども気持ち程度のチップは必要です。

野外ステージで行われるショーは圧巻!です。フラや生演奏はもちろん、15分程の休憩後の炎を使ったパフォーマンスは一見の価値ありだと思います。思いがけず見ることができた綺麗なサンセットもプラスとなり、いい思い出になりました。

Everything was GREAT except for the location.. I was disappointed cuz I booked this with a beach location in mind.. or at least, close proximity or along the beach; which I heard was the case for some time. Instead it was on the rooftop of the parking structure! Anyway, you probably would get more outstanding reviews if you only put the luau back on the beach or the grass area between the Lagoon Tower & Rainbow Tower! That would've made it PERFECT! Food could be better as well! Entertainment was excellent!n Great performers!

Reviewed by: ミッキー

We participated in a program called "Luau" with a Japanese guide as a family (three members: a couple and their 10-year-old daughter). Since we experienced activities like making flower leis, hula dancing, and ukulele lessons, I think it was great for the child to have a program that was more than just observation. The dinner included with the tour was a buffet, allowing us to eat as much as we liked, and the seasoning was also fine. During the meal, we enjoyed a show, and after eating, we moved to a different location for an approximately 1 hour and 30-minute Polynesian show (with a 10-minute break), which was a wonderful story-driven performance that made the time fly. Overall, I believe the cost performance was good, and I am satisfied. I think I will go again next time I visit Hawaii.

「ルアウ」というプログラムで日本語のガイドが付いたプログラムにファミリー(夫婦と10才女児の3名)で参加しました。アクティビティー(生花のレイ・フラダンス・ウクレレレッスなど)を体験したので、子供にとっては見学や鑑賞だけのプログラム充実して良かったと思います。ツアーについている夕食もバイキングで好きなものを好きなだけ食べられ、味付けなども問題ありませんでした。食事の際にもショーを鑑賞しながらでしたが、食事後は場所を移動して、約1時間30分(途中10分位の休憩有り)は時間を感じさせないポリネシアンショー(ストーリー仕立て)は素晴らしい内容でした。トータルとしてコストパフォーマンスも良かったと思い、満足をしております。次回、ハワイに行ったらまた行くと思います。

ポリネシア カルチャー センター ハワイ最大の伝統ルアウショー!ショーのみまたはビュッフェ・ディナー付きから選べるプラン<送迎付きプランあり>

The show exceeded my expectations! ショーは 予想以上でした!

Reviewed by: PAT

The evening show was wonderful and powerful, to the point where I thought it could rival "Shiki Theatre Company"! Since it was a student show, I didn't have high expectations and thought it would just be women dancing hula. I thought about how around ¥15,000 for an adult ticket seemed expensive, but the show alone is worth that much.

A male student served as our guide for about ten of us. I was truly impressed by his sincerity and enthusiasm. He translated everything into Japanese. I thought it was amazing that he had only studied for two years. However, since he translated everything, I felt that the Polynesian atmosphere was somewhat diminished. I can speak English well enough for everyday conversations, so I found this a bit disappointing. It would have been better if the experience had been conducted in English only.

I wish there had been a bit more time for dinner before the show and shopping after the show.

夜のショーは "劇団四季"も顔負けかなと思う位の素晴らしい、迫力あふれるショーでした!
学生のショーという事で、あまり期待せず、女性がフラを踊るぐらいかなと思っていました。
大人一人約¥15,000は 高いなあと思っていましたが、ショーだけでもその位の価値があります。

男子学生が 私たち10人ぐらいの ガイドになってくれました。彼の誠実さ、熱心さには 頭が下がるほどでした。全てを日本語に訳してくれました。2年間勉強しただけなのにすごいと思いました。
ただあまりにも全てを訳すので、ポリネシアの雰囲気が逆に消されているような気がしました。
私は 英語は日常会話に困らない程度に話せますので、これが却って残念でした。体験の時には 英語だけの方が良かったです。

ショーの前の食事の時間とショーの後の買い物の時間がもう少しあったらなあと思います。
