This was the most amazing experience. I would definitely recommend this. To start with, the pick-up and drop off provided was punctual and hassle free. The driver and guide on the bus were very informative and friendly. On arrival communication was perfect and our day went amazing. The Luau dinner was fantastic and definitely worth it adding to the day. The Night Show was the best thing we did while in Hawaii and the seats were great.
The guide we had for the day got us through all the main attractions and was absolutely amazing.
The only advice I would give is to allow extra time to return the following day (additional entry is provided) as there is just so much to see there.

Among the many dinner shows, I participated in this one, which is easily accessible from Waikiki! The course starts before sunset, and we begin with the meal. There aren't too many dishes, but it's not a problem. Alcohol is also available at the bar. The view during sunset is simply stunning. After the sun sets, the main show begins. The program is composed of captivating performances that are neither too short nor too long. The final fire dance is breathtaking! It was a program worth participating in.
数あるショーディナーの中から、ワイキキからアクセスも良いこちらのディナーに参加しました!
夕暮れ前からのコースで、最初に食事を頂きます。品数は多くはありませんが、困るほどでは無いです。
バーではアルコールも提供されています。
なんといっても夕暮れ時の景色が素晴らしい。

短すぎず長すぎず観るものを魅了するプログラムで構成されてます。
最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻の一言!参加する価値アリのプラグラムでした。

My husband and i booked this tour pretty last minute and we were so happy we did!
We were staying down at Waikiki Beach and got the bus pick up service from the Marriott which was prompt and well organised. Cousin Knox was our tour leader and kept the bus entertained and informed for the hour long trip. He was funny and accommodating.
Arrived and Cousin Knox picked up all our tickets for the day to get us started. Everything was well explained and we were off with our guides for the day. The guides did so well in the torrential rain which the Centre provided us with ponchos. Some of the activities were busy when we arrived but the guides were able to take us to other areas which were very entertaining and provided us with some insights into their cultures. The luau was very good fun to enjoy whilst eating dinner. Plenty of food and drinks. Well organised tables - we were lucky to get a table in the front.
The only suggestion would be to allow more time for lunch. We arrived at the bbq lunch and unfortunately only had 25 mins to eat as had to get to the start of one of the displays. Not enough time especially since it was a pay your own lunch.
Overall a great day from start to finish where we wwere dropped off back where we were picked up.

Enjoyed the luau! Tour guide was knowledgeable and fun. We had some confusion on pickup spot and after contacting the Customer Service, they had the bus wait for us to get to the right spot. Was very much appreciated!! Dinner was plentiful and delicious. The different productions of entertainment was delightful to watch and participate in. Paradise Cove(Ko Olina Resort) was a beautiful and relaxing place to spend an evening. Mahalo!
Note: The VIP Royal Box seating not worth the money but was a special treat.

Since I stayed in Ko Olina, I drove to the venue. With the deluxe package, you receive a lei upon entry, and your seats are very close to the stage. They also give you a card that can be used at the concession stand for $24, and they bring your food to you. If it starts to rain, they even provide ponchos, so they really take care of everything. The entry is at 4:30, but it takes about four hours until various events and shows are finished. During that time, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset. The sunset in Ko Olina is breathtaking, so I highly recommend it.
コオリナに宿泊したので、会場まで車で行きました。デラックスは入場時にレイがもらえて、席がステージのすぐ近くで、記念写真と24ドルの売店で使えるカードをくれます。しかも食事を持ってきてくれるし、雨が降ってきたらポンチョまでくれて至れり尽くせりでした。4時半入場ですが、色々なイベントやショーが終わるまで4時間くらいかかります。その間にきれいな夕日が見れます。コオリナの夕日は絶景なのでおすすめです。

The meal was fairly good. And the stage performance "HA" Breath of Life was amazing. I didn't understand the words at all, but it was a very, very moving performance. I want to see it again. The tour itself was very rushed, and I could only enjoy the meal and the performance, so I wished I had time to stroll around the large garden leisurely.
食事はまあまあおいしかったです。そして舞台の「HA」Breath of Lifeが最高でした。言葉は全くわからないけれど、とてもとても感動する舞台でした。また見に行きたいです。ツアー自体がとてもあわただしく食事と舞台しか楽しめなかったので広い園のなかをゆっくりと見て回る時間がほしかったです。

I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center for the first time in about 40 years. I don't remember much from back then, but I had the impression that it had changed in some way. The dancing was rough and not very synchronized, but I could feel the strength in it. The storytelling and expressiveness felt a bit lacking as well. However, the finale with the fire dance was great.
約40年ぶりにポリネシア文化センターに行きました。昔のことは良く覚えてませんが、何となく変わったなと言う印象でした。踊りは荒削りで、あまり揃ってなかったですが、力強さは感じました。

There were hardly any Japanese tourists, and it was completely different from the hotel shows! It felt like a story, and by the end, I was overwhelmed by the intensity.
Seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so it's better to line up near the entrance after purchasing tickets. I didn't know this, so I ended up sitting towards the back, which was disappointing.
There are various events until sunset, but tips are required. The sunset was truly beautiful.
I didn't feel like having seconds for the meal. Depending on the seating, it may be buffet-style, which some elderly people might find challenging.
日本人観光客がほとんどいてなくて、ホテルのショーとは全然違いました! 物語りになっていて、最後は迫力に圧倒されました。
席は早いもの順に誘導されるので、チケット購入後、入り口付近に並んでおくほうがいいです。知らなかったので、後ろのほうになり、残念でした。
日が暮れるまでの間、いろんな催しがありますが、チップ必要です。

The Polynesian Cultural Centre consists of the villages of the various people from the surrounding islands of Polynesia. Each village had a presentation which gave an insight into their culture - family and community mindedness. One of the highlights was how to make fire by "rubbing together 2 sticks of wood". There is a lot to see and do so you may not have enough time to see all of the villages. The Luau was great - food, show, drinks (no alcohol though) however we were allocated the 4pm time slot (I suspect the more expensive packages allow you to eat later). Afterwards, the night show was spectacular. Unfortunately, we chose a day where the heavens opened up and continued to rain for the whole time. On a "feel good" note, the centre was set up to employ students from the surrounding Polynesian islands so the money raised helps them fund their education.

I reserved a guaranteed seat in the front center, but today (the 24th), we were all together, and we had to line up for entry, ending up in seats at the end. However, the hula dance was significantly more wonderful and powerful than the dance I saw later at the Hawaiian Cultural Center, Star of Honolulu. The music and the emcee were truly American entertainers.
While I was dissatisfied with the seating, I was very satisfied overall, including the meal.
前方中央席確約で予約しましたが、今日(24日)は、皆一緒とのこと、列に並ばされ、入場、端の席になってしまいましたが、フラダンスは、そのあと見たハワイアン文化センター、スターオブホノルルのダンスより格段にすばらしく、大迫力でした。音楽も、司会もアメリカのエンタテナーそのもの。

The entry “free” Mai Tai is ridiculously watered down, which is unfortunate as it serves as a poor harbinger of events to come for the evening. Given attendance of 1000 on Christmas Eve at at least $100 per seat, you’d think they could afford to spare a little cheap rum. Anyway, the rest of the event was very well done. Food was excellent. Drinks less so. Dancing and entertainment was superb. The difference in the various packages is difficult to discriminate from the website. Essentially the higher the price the more credit you get for drinks and you get closer to the stage. We chose the orchid package, which is a reasonable compromise and I would recommend this.

The best thing about this luau was the show. The fire dancing was really cool and the activities beforehand were pretty nice. It felt like the drinks had next to zero alcohol in them. The buffet was kind of done on the cheap and with over 1000 people there, it was kind of crowded. It was well organised and the staff were really friendly. If you don’t like things aimed at tourists, you should run a mile. It felt a bit like Disney goes to do a luau. Having said that, we enjoyed the evening, even if it did feel a bit like ‘organised fun’ with the forced getting to know you activities on the bus ride there. I was left wondering if it was really value for the money we paid. At $80 it was kind of expensive for watered down pina coladas and lomi lomi salmon that was mostly just chopped tomatoes with the tiniest little pieces of salmon in it. Also, I’ve seen the exact same things in the gift shop in other stores for much cheaper. All in all, the show was good but it felt like a bit of a tourist trap.

I love Chief Sielu's wit, and his personality really comes out throughout the show. You can really tell he enjoys hosting the luau and loves all his guests. They also have a lot of fire knife dancers (and world champions, at that) making their fire dances probably the most impressive ones out there.
The food is good and there's a cash bar (you get a few free drink tickets based on which package you book). The only problem with this luau is that it's so far away from Waikiki and starts right after rush hour, so you might want to leave earlier (perhaps at 3pm) to beat the traffic. Alternatively you could just spend the day in Kapolei at wet n wild or Coral Crater. Parking is $5 at wet n wild.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is about a 1-hour bus ride from the Sheraton. During the bus ride, the guide who spoke Japanese kept the atmosphere lively, so we arrived without getting bored.
First, we had a meal at the restaurant. It was a buffet style, with crab available only once, and everything else was all-you-can-eat and drink. There was no alcohol. Many of the dishes were quite rich. Most of the staff did not speak Japanese, but it wasn't too much of a problem.
Next, we headed to the dance show venue. We had seats in the central front area, which allowed us to feel the excitement even more. The show had a storyline, so even if you don't understand English, you can follow along just by watching. The content was very moving. The show ended with a standing ovation!
Photography was completely prohibited during the show. However, at the end of the show, you can take photos with the dancers.
It became a wonderful memory.
