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

Very educational

Reviewed by: Excellent

My husband and I had a gret time at the Polynesian Cultural center. The tour bus guide "Kemo" or Cousin K was very knowledgeble about the cultures, and land legends of Oahu. The tour bus ride was 1 hour 15 minutes from Waikiki, but it went by very quickly. He taught us how to speak Hawaiin properly, a few legends from the Windward side, as well as the local spots. Once in the center, we got to see all but 2 islands (very hard to do as the center is huge) and we went to many shows, the canoe ride, the lua, and the night show. It was a very long and hot day that ended in a huge rain shower, but it was so worth it and we do not regret spening the whole day there. Very educational!!

Great Experienced show.

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

My wife and I celebrated our Honeymoon in Oahu, and choose to goto the Cultural Center for the day, including the luau and the show.
It was an amazing experience!
Each village was unique and the people were so friendly!
My only suggestion is to sell caffinated coffee and soda at the Center...since many people are there all day they will need a pick me up.
The worst part of the entire day was our bus driver to and from the Center...Loretta. She was boring, rude, and forgot we were on the bus.

Paradise Cove Luau on the Beach at Ko Olina Resort

Paradise Cove Luau

Reviewed by: Katherine

I was nervous about using this service, but things worked out great. We purchased the Deluxe Package which included 6 free alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks, front row seating and tableside meal service. We were greeted with a fresh flower lei (women) and kukui nut lei (men), a mai tai drink and photos with dancers. It was everything they promised. It was on a pristine, beautiful private beach with numerous hands on activities. It was absolutely wonderful!

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>

If you want to enjoy a luau, this is the place. ルアウを楽しむならここです

Reviewed by: はる

It's a place with a very nice atmosphere. There are fewer Japanese people here. I was wondering what to do since there seemed to be quite a bit of time before the show, but before I knew it, time flew by as I took a walk, took photos, had some drinks, and got a lei made. I received drink tickets, but I couldn't use them all. The cocktails are generously poured, which is great for those who enjoy a drink. It seems that non-alcoholic drinks were free. During the show, you can eat, dance, chat, and take photos freely, so I think it's fun for families. Of course, couples will be even happier. Women might want to dress up a bit. You'll receive the photos taken, so it makes for great memories. Unfortunately, I couldn't fully understand the jokes made by the guide in English on the shuttle bus. However, you can still enjoy yourself even if you don't speak English at all. The staff can speak a little Japanese, so there’s no trouble communicating. They are very considerate. On this day, I was able to take wonderful sunset photos. Silhouettes of people against the backdrop of a red sky and palm trees. It's a show that makes you think Hawaii is wonderful.

雰囲気がとてもいいところです。日本人は少なめです。ショーまでかなり時間があるようなのでどうするのかなぁと思っていたら、散歩したり、写真撮ったり、お酒飲んだり、レイ作ってもらったりとしてたらあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。飲み物のチケットを貰うのですがとても使い切れません。カクテルのアルコール量はおおざっぱに多めに入れてくれますので酔っぱらいには嬉しいです。ノンアルコールはただだったみたいだし。ショーの最中は食べたり、踊ってたり、喋ったり、写真撮ったり自由にできますので家族で行くと楽しいと思います。勿論カップルで行くとさらに幸せです。女性は少しおしゃれしていくといいでしょう。撮った写真を貰いますのでいい思い出になります。送迎のバスの中は英語なのでガイドがジョークを言ってもよく理解できなかったのが残念でした。でも英語ができないと楽しめないということは全くありません。スタッフは片言日本語ができますので意志の疎通に困ることはありません。よく気使ってくれます。この日素晴らしい日没の写真がとれました。赤く染まった空に椰子の木のシルエットを背景に写る人影。ハワイって素敵だなと思えるショーです。

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>

It was a great seat! 良席でした(^_-)-☆

Reviewed by: SAMOA

I made a reservation for the deluxe seating. Surprisingly, I was in the second row from the front, right by the aisle, almost in the center of the stage, which was incredibly impressive! At first, I was a bit sleepy, but I was completely captivated by the final fire show?! (^_^;) The guide's various stories during the ride to the Polynesian Cultural Center were also very helpful.

デラックスで予約しました。なんとステージほぼ中央の通路側の前から2列目で迫力満点でした!
最初は眠たかったけど最後のファイヤーショー?!(^_^;)は食い入るように見入ってました。

I think it's good for people visiting Hawaii for the first time, but if you think of it as a casual dinner while watching a show, it can be a bit challenging since it's 65 kilometers away from Waikiki.

初めてハワイに行く人にはいいと思いますがショーを見ながらディナーと気軽に考えて行くと、ワイキキから65キロ離れているのでちょっと大変です。

get standard package, not royal

Reviewed by: Martin

i thought the luau was good, i had a pretty good time with my girlfriend. i paid more for the royal package but the only difference with the standard one is that it included a few more drinks, but since the cocktails are very small, i dont think paying the extra money is worth it. the food could be better, although the location makes up for it; the sunset doesnt get any better than that.

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Oh my goodness! What a way to start off your Hawaiian vacation. My wife and I attended this luau out of the many choices because it came highly recommended. As soon as you enter, they will take a pic which is free with the royal package. Then you can walk around and take part in the many games. You can also make your own lei hat and other things. It's so cool. When the activity starts, you learn a lot about hawaii tradition at several different demonstrations. Then you go to the ceremonial unconvering of the pig (try not to sit directly in the sun like we did). After that, you are seated to prepare for the show. We chose the royal box deluxe package and received all kind of goodies as well as dinner service. This package is recommended because you can see the show very well and you get served so you don't have to get up. If you want seconds, they will bring it to you. I felt like a king. THe show itself is amazing and a great experience. Oh and they will ask for volunteers

Be prepared to be late, but you should definitely see the night show! 遅くなるの覚悟でも夜のショーはみるべし!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was hesitant to commit to the show until the end since I was returning to the hotel late with my 9-year-old child, but we decided to go for the evening show. It was indeed an impressive performance, and my child was thrilled. On the bus ride back, my child was sound asleep, but they said they had a great time. I wanted to go to the IMAX theater, but unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to see it, which was disappointing.

9歳の子供と一緒でホテルに帰るのが遅くなるので、最後まで申し込むか悩んだのですが、夜のショー付にしました。でもやはり迫力のあるショーで子供も大喜びでした。帰りのバスで子供はぐっすりでしたけど、楽しかったそうです。IMAXシアターに行きたかったのですが、時間がなくて見れずに残念でした。

It was a very good and unique experience for both of us. The only thing that I think you should include in your website or ads is to tell them that it can be draining since it is a whole day affair. We were both exhausted due to long walks and the humid weather. Otherwise, very good!

Reviewed by: YUKIKO

This was my fourth time at Polynesian. The kids were there for the second time, but it was their first time participating in a tour. Because of that, we had a Japanese-speaking guide (a Japanese exchange student), which made it even more enjoyable than before. The evening show was absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious too. The kids ate a lot of cake.

ポリネシアンは、今回で4回目。子供たちは2回目でしたが、はじめて、ツアーでの参加でした。その為、日本語ツアーの方(日本字留学生)が案内してくれるので、今まで以上に楽しめました。夜のショーは、とっても最高でした。食事もおいしかったですよ。こどもたちは、ケーキをいっぱい食べてました。

A great Hawaiin experience.

Reviewed by: Laura C

I thought the center was enjoyable for the whole family. I definitely recommend the all day "Ambassador" package. It was great having a tour guide to take us to each village to ensure we didn't miss anything and arrived just in time to have perfect seating without having to wait. Our guide (Darrin from New Zealand) took our kids to do activities while my husband and I watched several pre-shows in peace and than he brought the kids to see the main show in each village. The dancing parade on canoes is a must see along with the Samoa village. My guide recommended the Prime Rib buffet dinner instead of the Luau Buffet. He said the food was much better, it was more quiet to have a break, and the show was just a mini pre-show to the one we were going to see at 7:30. I am definitely glad we did that and have to agree with him. The night show was spectacular and if you get the Ambassador package you get preferred sitting and ice cream during the show. Don't waste your money on the Super Ambass

Consider the "Alii" Twilight

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Made reservations for the Twilight "Ambassador" package and the only difference I noticed between the "Ambassador" and the "Alii" package was probably just the seating assignment at the show, souveniers, and free ice cream desert during the shows intermission. Had a good time but I think the "Alii" package would have been a much better value considering there wasn't much of a difference between the two packages and I think I would have seen a much better overall view of the show. I wasn't able to see much on the other side of the stage because I was sitting to close to it.
