I lived in Hawaii, and have been to PCC several times. I love it every time I go. Whenever I have a newcomer to Hawaii, I take them there or recommend it to them and I recommend it to you all. Also, I advise getting the Luau and show package for the whole experience.

This was my 2nd time visiting PCC, 16 years ago was my 1st visit. Nice to see Chief Kap is still there and still has many talents. A lot has changed, the Breath Of Life show was spectacular. The fire dance was amazing. The students that work there, every single one I came across were so pleasant and helpful. Everyone had a big smile and go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable. If you haven’t been to any luaus in Oahu, I’d suggest PCC. Hands down the best one on the island. Mahalo!

Was so impressed with the overall layout of the PCC. Upon arrival there are restrooms, water refill stations. Shops selling lots of good value and different styles of gifts. We started with a ride on the canoe through the villages , the guide was knowledge and told us about the fifferent countries also very interactive with the younger children. We visited as many villages as possible , experienced aspects of their culture through dance, craft or food. It is clear to see the young peoples love of their countries and culture. The buffet was way beyond my expectations, proper dining experience, we were able to taste all foods and it was self service, chicken,beef pork,fish, rice,noodles,salads and so many desserts the list goes on. Very disappointed to see people wasting so much food, piling plates with too much food, especially when the culture of the Polynesian people is to value food and not waste food. We were thanked for supporting the PCC, the monies raised support the students to study and return to their countries to improve the lives of others. Would highly recommend great day out

The fun really starts when you get on the nice air conditioned bus. Our host on the bus was hilarious all the way to our destination. The show is in a wetnwild but honestly I forgot about half way to the beginning of the show. The food was good and the dancers were better. The chief was also a funny man and although you do get this amazing entertainment, you also get a little bit of history of the people of the islands. Overall it was a great show. We even got a souvenir

I wanted to see the show from a good seat, so I chose the Diamond Seat. The seating arrangement was not as shown in the seating chart, which surrounded the stage; instead, it was a standard setup with the stage directly in front and tables facing it. I arrived 30 minutes before the reception, but there was already a long line. I mistakenly lined up in the Golden Seat line because I wasn't sure where to queue. It seemed that those with Diamond Seats had priority entry, and we ended up being the last to enter among the Diamond guests. Fortunately, there was an open table in the front row, almost in the center, so we were able to sit there, but please be careful not to make a mistake in the line.
Before the show, there were solo hula performances by both men and women, followed by a moment where all the guests danced a hula together. Then came the buffet. Since we could access it first from the Diamond Seats, it was nice and not crowded.
The show featured not only hula but also Tahitian, Polynesian, Maori, and fire dancing, which kept us entertained until the very end.
The Diamond Premier Seat is a bit more expensive, but I think the satisfaction level is high, so I recommend it.
良い席で見たかったのでダイヤモンドシートにしました。
席はこちらにある座席表のようにステージを囲むような配置ではなく、普通に正面にステージ、それに向かってテーブルがありました。
受付の30分前に着きましたが、既に長蛇の列でした。
しかも並ぶ所がよくわからずにゴールデンシートの列に並んでしまっていました。
ダイヤモンドシートから優先入場、それも先着順に良い席に案内されているようで、私達はダイヤモンドの中では入場が最後になってしまいました。
幸いほぼ中央の最前列テーブルに空きがあったのでそこに座れましたが、並ぶ列をお間違えの無いようにお気を付けください。
ショーの前に男女それぞれソロのフラがあり、その後、客がその場で全員で1曲フラを踊る場面がありました。
そしてブッフェ。
こちらもダイヤモンドシートから優先で取れるので混まずに良かったです。
ショーはフラのみでなく、タヒチアン、ポリネシアン、マオリ、ファイヤーダンスがあり、最後まで飽きること無く楽しめました。
ダイヤモンドプレミアシートは少しお高くなりますが満足度は高くなると思うのでおすすめです。

Best Lua and fire show in HNL!! We’ve been to many Lua, this show by far is the best. Live action performances are colorful, full of history and beautiful ensembles. We can feel the energy on stage and story telling come to life through dances movements, colorful wardrobes, live music/singing and magical fire show.
The checkin process was easy and parking was smooth. The venue is smaller than them other Lua we’ve been, but we like the intimacy in a smaller show.

It was enjoyable to see the participants from various countries gathering in their colorful aloha shirts. The children were delighted to receive leis and have tattoos drawn on their arms. The dancing was more authentic and sophisticated than what I saw on the dinner cruise. The food might have been better on the dinner cruise. One downside was that participants had to wait in a long line before the event started.
参加する多国籍の皆さんが種々のアロハシャツを着て集まりそれだけでも楽しかったです。子供はレイをかけてもらい腕にtattoを描いてもらって喜んでいました。踊りはディナークルーズで観たものよりも本格的で洗練されていました。食事はディナークルーズの方がよかったかも知れません。少し残念だった点は、開始前に参加者が長蛇の列を作って待たなければならない点です。

It's important to confirm everything. I really felt this during my recent experience. I thought I had booked a shuttle service via email for the day of the show, but when I checked close to the start time, I found out there was no shuttle. The show was about 50 minutes away from the hotel, and since the cost was around 100,000 yen for four people, I couldn't give up and quickly took a taxi instead.
After arriving, I was worried about getting a taxi back, so I showed the staff a translated message asking if they could call a taxi when the show was over. They said, "OK!" Even though there were hundreds of people, they didn't ask for my name or phone number, which made me anxious during the show. As expected, when the show ended, that staff member was nowhere to be found, and I was at a loss.
Then I suddenly remembered the Uber ride-hailing service and decided to give it a try. It was so easy; a smiling driver in a marked vehicle appeared right in front of me. They arrived exactly on time. I had already registered the destination and my credit card for payment, so the whole process was incredibly smooth.
何事も、確認です。
今回は実感しております。
当日のメールでの予約で、送迎あり。を予約したつもりが、開演時間近くになって、確認したら、送迎無しでした。ホテルから50分ほどかかる所でのショーでしたし、金額も4名で10万円程でしたから、諦められず、急遽タクシーで向かいました。
到着後、帰りのタクシーの心配があったので、係員にショーが終わった頃にタクシーを呼べますか?と英訳の文章を見せたら、OK!と言ってくれました。
何百人もいるのに名前や携帯も聞かれなくて、不安な観覧でしたが、案の定、ショーが終わった時には、その係員はおらず、途方にくれました。
ふと、Uberの配車サービスを思い出し、チャレンジしたら、なんて事なく、公開された車両に笑顔のドライバーが
目の前に。到着予定時間通り、横付けしました。
行き先も先に登録してあり、決済もクレジットカード登録してあるので、凄くスムーズな移動でした。

We participated with my parents, making a group of four. It took 90 minutes by bus from Waikiki (there was traffic in the evening). We signed up for the deluxe course. We were satisfied with our seats in the front row for the show.
There wasn't enough time for activities before the show, so we could only get a tattoo. We also received a $20 shopping card, but it seems it could only be used at the entrance shop... When I tried to use it at a stall to buy earrings, I was told it couldn't be used there. In the end, I used it for drinks since we ran out of time.
The meal portions were too large, and I ended up leaving about 80% of it. What a waste... The fire dance was impressive! We were able to take a group photo at the beginning, and it was great that we received copies for everyone along with our souvenirs at the end.
両親と私たち夫婦の4人で参加しました。
ワイキキからバスで90分(夕方で渋滞がありました)。デラックスコースで申し込みしました。
ショーを観る座席は最前列で満足でした。
ショーの前のアクティビティは時間がなくて、タトゥーしか出来ませんでした。20ドルの買い物カードも受け取りましたが、入り口の店でしか使えないみたいで…他の屋台みたいなところでピアスを買ったら使えないと言われ。
結局、時間がなくなりドリンクで使いました。
食事は量が多すぎて、8割残してしまいました。もったいなかった…。
ファイアーダンスは迫力がありました!
最初に集合写真を撮って貰えたのですが、終わりにお土産と一緒に人数分もらえたのがとても良かったです。

We were picked up by a large bus, and it seemed like we were the only Japanese people on it. The bus guide during the trip was always quite high-energy and entertaining (though some might find it a bit loud). There were also few Japanese people at the venue. Since it's by the sea, if the weather is nice, you can see a beautiful sunset, and I recommend it for those who want to experience an overseas atmosphere with fewer Japanese people around.
大型バスで送迎してもらいましたが、日本人は恐らく私たちだけでした。行き帰りのバスのガイドが常にかなりのハイテンションで面白かったです(人によってはうるさいと感じるかもしれませんが)。会場も日本人が少ないです。海沿いですので天気が良ければサンセットも綺麗に見えますし、日本人少なめで海外の雰囲気を味わいたい方にはお勧めです。

I chose this show without dining options considering the infection aspect. Also, since it has a roof, it seemed fine even if it rains. It takes just under an hour from Waikiki, but it's worth the trip. I don't understand much English, but I got the general idea. Moreover, it was incredibly impressive!! It was the best show I've seen so far. I was at the very end of the front row, but the production was designed to be easy to see even from the side, so it wasn't a problem. I definitely want to participate again next time.
感染面を考え、飲食を伴わないこちらのショーを選びました。また、屋根もあるため雨が降っても大丈夫そうなので選びました。
ワイキキからは1時間弱かかりますが、行く価値ありです。英語はあまり分かりませんが、大体内容はわかりました。しかも、ものすごく見応えあり!! 今までのショーで1番でした。
最前列の1番端でしたが、端でも見やすい演出になっているので問題ありませんでした。
次回も、またぜひ参加したいです。

My new wife and I celebrated our marriage by visiting this place. It was phenomenal. I suggest you pay the extra money and upgrade to the royalty package. We sat right in front of the stage, were served our food and drinks, no need to get in line, given two commemorative bags for hot or cold food, and enjoyed ourselves so much. The host on the tour bus, Sia, gets Five gold stars and 100 thumbs up. She was so entertaining. Even when coming back, she was interactive at an exponential level. We are so impressed and happy when we think of her and the luau.
We will certainly be doing this again. Hopefully soon.
