Good show, good food. Crafts were just OK. Some of the people working there were not really enthused about the whole thing. The food servers and performers were great. You can't use the Paradise Cove credit card at all booth's. Evidently some of the craft vendors are not directly connected to Paradise Cove and do not accept the card. If you just want to drink, then the card is great. The bar takes the card. I was here a few years ago, the show is better now, the food is better and the crafts are worse.

Our first Luau and it was a lot of fun. The bus picked us up at the hotel and brought us back. The gals that drove and entertained us on bus "W" were awesome. The activities were great as was dinner. We sat in the Royal Box. There wasn't a picture of it anywhere that I could find, so I am including one. You are sitting at approximately the same height as the stage but about 50-60 feet away from the stage. The show was great and all the people were really nice. The sunset was gorgeous and presents an opportunity for some amazing photos.

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.

Since it's far from Waikiki, I thought it would be difficult for us to go on our own. We requested the deluxe course, and the food was very delicious. We had seats right in front of the show, which was truly moving. However, since it was far, the driver's driving was quite dynamic (laughs) and thrilling. It's a wonderful show that allows you to feel close to Hawaiian culture, so I recommend seeing it at least once if you have the chance. It was so much fun! Mahalo!
ワイキキからは遠いので、自分たちで行くのは困難だと思いました。
デラックスコースでお願いしたのですが、食事もとても美味しく、座席もショーを目の前で見ることができ、とても感動して帰って来ました。ただ、遠いもんでドライバーさんの運転がダイナミックで(笑)スリリングではありました。ハワイの文化を身近に感じてすばらしいショーですので、機会があれば1度は見ることをお勧めします。楽しかった~!マハロ!

I went with four colleagues from work. The Polynesian Cultural Center is quite far away.
We only had the buffet and show package, but once we got there, there were various activities, so it might be worth considering the full-day package to enjoy everything.
I honestly didn't have high expectations for the buffet, but it was surprisingly delicious, so I was very satisfied.
I spent about 80% of the show sleeping, so I won't comment on it. However, my colleagues watched it properly and said they were "moved." I secretly thought, "How can you be moved when you don't understand English!?"
会社の同僚4名で行ってきました。
ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターまでが遠いです。
ビュッフェとショーだけのコースでしたが、現地着いたら色々あったので、1日コースで楽しむのもありかもしれません。
ビュッフェは正直あまり期待していなかったのですが、思いのほか美味しかったので大満足。
ショーは8割寝ていたので感想は割愛します。
でも、同僚はちゃんと観て、「感動した」って言ってましたが、英語わかんねーのに感動デイんのかよ!?ってツッコミいれたのは内緒です。

I've been to Hawaii countless times, but just like how people living in Tokyo may never have climbed Tokyo Tower, I've passed by the Polynesian Cultural Center many times, thinking I could go anytime... and it's been decades. This time, I finally went to see the show! I was just so moved ❤! Even though I didn't understand the words, I was completely drawn into the show, and it was the best moment! On the way back, my bus was parked in a different location, and I panicked a bit with the tour group, but I definitely want to bring my parents next time!

The Polynesian show was a great opportunity, but the seats were too far away, so it lacked impact. I should have opted for the more expensive plan instead of being cheap. Including my own reflection, I decided to give it 2 stars instead of just 1.

I went with two of my other friends were about 25 yrs old. It was our first time in Hawaii and were skeptics of the luau, but we were in Hawaii might as well experience it. And it was great !!! The price was a little steep especially with the Canadian exchange rate. We got complimentary Mai tai at the door received our beautiful lei and shown our seats. The venue was amazing!! There was a lot of activity but we opt for getting drinks with our cards and watched the sun set!!! The food was great could go easy on the salt tho but the show was awesome I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. And the stars were out and overall all we had a blast. Added side note the dancers are veerrrryy good looking like wow!

First of all, the car ride to the Polynesian Cultural Center was super cold! The air conditioning was too strong, and I asked others to adjust it, but... When we arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center, a Japanese exchange student guided us, and they were very pleasant and likable. They provided simultaneous interpretation during the show, and the stories while we were on the boat were interesting and kept us engaged. The buffet had a limited selection, and I thought, "Well, this is what it is..." However, the night show was powerful and moving. We had standard seats, but there were no issues with visibility. After the show, I was worried about finding the bus in the parking lot, but I found it right away. I thought it might have been nice to stay a little longer.

I participated in the afternoon tour. I was sound asleep on the bus as usual (laughs).
In the afternoon, we toured the park with a Japanese university student guide. The sun was quite strong, and since we would be walking a lot, it’s better not to carry heavy things. I think it’s more enjoyable to join a tour rather than just wandering around, as we got to hear various stories about the Polynesian countries. The show from Tonga was lively, with a Korean person really getting into it. It seemed like the English wasn’t getting through, and their funny movements made me laugh a lot.
For lunch, I chose the luau, which was a buffet of Polynesian cuisine. There was quite a variety, and it was fun. They even had a whole roasted pig! I selected desserts that weren’t too sweet, and I was satisfied with the meal. While enjoying the food, we could also enjoy dances on stage and participate in audience interaction dances. It might be fun for newlyweds! Couples from newlyweds to those who have been married for a long time came up to celebrate, greeting everyone and doing a simple dance... it was a wonderful show.
The evening show was full of excitement, and it felt like watching a performance by the Shiki Theatre Company; it was enjoyable. Some people got tired and fell asleep, but the fire show was amazing, and I’m glad I went to see it!
昼からのツアーに参加していきました。バスは相変わらず爆睡で(笑)
午後について、ガイドの日本人の大学生さんと一緒に園内を回ります。結構日差しもあったし、歩くので、重いものは持たない方がいいですね。ポリネシアンの国々ついていろんなお話も聞けるので、ふらっといくよりツアーの方が楽しそうだなと思います。トンゴのショーは韓国人の人がのりのりで、英語が伝わっていないのか、面白い動きをして、すごく笑いました。
ご飯はルアウにしました。ポリネシアンの料理のビュッフェです。結構いろいろあって楽しかったです。豚の丸焼きもでてきましたよ!
デザートも甘すぎずのものを選び、満足いく料理でした。料理いただきながら、ステージで踊りや、お客さん参加型のダンスなどが楽しめる感じです。新婚さんはいくと楽しいかも!ご夫婦新婚さんから熟年の方まで、お祝いで参加している方が前にでて、挨拶と簡単なダンスをするという。。。すてきなショーでした。
夜のショーは迫力満点で、劇団四季とか見ている感じで、楽しかったです。
疲れて寝てしまう人もいたけれど。。ファイヤーショーもすごかったし、見に行ってよかったです!

It was very powerful and moving! I highly recommend it as a finale for your trip to Hawaii.
I signed up for the deluxe course early on. The difference between the deluxe and standard courses is the dining and the seating for the show. I definitely recommend the deluxe course!
The meal is served buffet-style, and even if you get tired of barbecue, the roast steak is really delicious. Also, the fried chicken tasted a lot like Kentucky Fried Chicken and was tasty.
The seating for the show is chosen randomly, but I was lucky enough to be in the second row from the front.
The show is composed of English and a local language that I couldn't quite understand, but you could sense what they were trying to express. The fire dance was very powerful, and even from the second row, I could feel the heat of the flames. The dancing was very synchronized, making it enjoyable to watch and listen to. I highly recommend it!
とても迫力があり、感動しました!ハワイ旅行のフィナーレにめちゃんこおすすめです。
私は早い時期にデラックスコースを申し込みました。デラックスコースとスタンダードコースの違いは、食事とショーの観客席になります。絶対デラックスコースの方がおすすめです!
食事はバイキング形式ですが、(バーベキューに飽きていても)ロースステーキがとても美味しいです。また、フライドチキンはケンタッキーみたいな味で美味しかったです。
ショーの席は勝手に選択されてしまいますが、運良く前から2列目でした。
ショーは英語と現地の訳のわからない言語で構成されていますが、感覚的に何を表現したいのかかがわかるものでした。また、ファイヤーダンスがとても迫力があり、前から2列目でもその火の熱さがわかりました。ダンスもとても揃っていて、見て聞いて楽しめるものです。めちゃんこおすすめです!
