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

Awesome Experience!!!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

This was a very unique place. It was beautiful. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgable. The night show was the best show I have ever seen. My recommendation is to get the ambassodor package so that you have a guide. It is very crowded and somewhat hard to navigate around so having a guide is definitely worth the extra money. Food wasn't that great but was the same as other luaus in the area. Overall it's a must see!

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー 迫力満点!至近距離で野生のサメを見学 <送迎可>

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: ぽち

I sank a cage offshore and jumped in... At first, I was anxious, but if you try, you can do it! It was September, but the water temperature was a bit low. Also, since the waves were rough offshore, it might be better not to eat too much before participating. Two out of six people got seasick.

Still, it was an invaluable experience. After returning home, my PC crashed, and I lost the photos of the sharks, which made me weep. I want to participate again.

沖合に檻を沈めてそこにどぼん、、、最初は不安でしたがなせばなる!9月でしたが水温は若干低め。あと沖合で波が荒いので、参加する前にはあまりものを食べすぎない方がいいかも。酔ってはいた人2人/6人。
それでも得難い経験です。帰国後PCがクラッシュして、サメの写真が消えてしまいむせび泣きました。また参加したい。

I am simply moved. ただただ感激☆

Reviewed by: つよし

I would like to comment on the evening show. At first, I thought it somewhat resembled the story of The Lion King when I saw the pamphlet, but it was completely different. It was an activity to preserve Polynesian culture, and various countries' dances were interwoven, allowing us to see a highly polished show. Next time, I want to see it from the front row.

夜のショーについてコメントします。最初はライオンキングの物語を少しまねた??とパンフレットを見たときに思いましたが、全然違いました。ポリネシアの文化を守る活動であり、各国のダンスが織り交ぜれており、完成度の高いショーを見ることができました。次回は最前列でみたいです。

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Awesome!!

Reviewed by: Montreal couple

This was the most fun we had on Oahu. Captain Dave and Crewman Chris are very professional, knowledgeable and entertaining. We felt safe in their capable hands...which was especially important, given the fact that this is an incredibly thrilling activity! Sooooo scary....being in the water, surrounded by numerous sharks of varying size (basically bigger than you, and much faster too!) certainly makes the adrenaline pump!

We bought the DVD of our experience, and we appreciate the fact that it is your choice to have your experience taped or not, and is therefore more personal and not 'pushed' at you for purchase. Just got home last night, and immediately watched it!

We recommend this activity to all but the faint of heart!

Great time

Reviewed by: Montreal couple

We would recommend the Polynesian cultural center for many reasons. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. It was great fun to be so immersed in the cultures presented...dancing in Tahiti, singing and playing music in Fiji to name just a couple. The luau was a great opportunity to see the many different forms of hula dancing, and the food was great and plentiful.
In short, the Polynesian Cultural Center should not be missed!

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

Dinner cud hv been Authentic...

Reviewed by: GeeKay

I think overall the package was the best and most unique experience I have ever enjoyed but I think the Dinner timings werent quite right and could be delayed a bit and also the staff were kinda urgent towards the end of buffet timings that we really couldnt enjoy the Dinner all the way till dessert. That kinda impacted me not to give 5 Star for it. And believe me you need the whole full day to cover PCC and half day wont do justice for this unique experience.

North Shore Skydiving Adventure Tour with Oceanview - GoJump Hawaii

WOW!!!

Reviewed by: Twila

Amazing!! My husband and my teenage daughter had a great sky diving adventure. If you just pay for the jump it is reasonable but if you want pictures or DVD it is quite a lot more. The staff was great, very professional! Would definitely do this again, but it is a little cheaper if you just book through them because they do offer daily specials. But felt the price through this site was reasonable.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

Great experience

Reviewed by: Carina

I thought I was going to be scared, but they made sure I was at ease. We go in a little deep, and the reality hits you when you see the cage. It was windy that day, and we got some waves. Once you get into the cage, and you get up close with these sharks, you see how amazing they are. I would highly recommend this to everyone!! Very cool!!!!

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

A full day of entertainment

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

A long day, but well worth it! Even the bus ride was good. This was the best luau experience we had, easily beating out the one offered by NCL on Kaua'i, which was very good. It was a hot day, and the line for shaved ice was long, but that is the only negative. All of the cultural shows we saw were excellent and there were even pre-shows for those who arrived early. The food was good (along with another show), and the main show at the end (Ha, Breath of Life) was outstanding.
If you are looking for an intimate on-the-beach luau, this is not it. The PCC provides a first-rate experience for thousands of people, and does so with minimal delays and great views from any seating location. I am so glad we went. This was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

About a month ago, I made a reservation, and guess what? I ended up in the middle of the third row!!!! I was able to enjoy the show with incredible intensity, and the ice cream during the break was as amazing as everyone said. Many people couldn't buy it because it sold out, so this ambassador experience is quite a bargain☆

During the day, the weather was almost too nice, and I felt like I might get heatstroke, but our guide, Amy, was cute and kind. She even included a Tahitian village dance experience in the itinerary at my request, which made me really satisfied☆☆ At the end, she added a backstage tour that wasn't included in this tour during our free time!! In the end, I conquered the whole village☆ My friends recommended that I go with the ambassador, and it was truly worth it! Everyone was so nice, and I really felt the ALOHA spirit. I'm glad I went with Alan.

Highly Recommended

Reviewed by: Honeymooners

What an outstanding adventure! My wife and I had a great time. Captain JR and Chris created one of the best overall experiences we had in Hawai'i. They were funny, and knowledgeable about what we saw off the North Shore. Compared to other trips we took around O'ahu, they were the most reasonably priced as well. We're glad we bought the DVD to show how many sharks we saw, and the pictures impressed all our family... Highly recommended.

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>

I participated in the standard tour in the afternoon. 昼からのスタンダードツアーに参加しました

Reviewed by: ひね

【Entrance】Our group went directly to the venue, but it seemed that most participants arrived by tour bus. The Japanese staff member we first approached didn't seem to know the entry procedures well, which caused a bit of a delay.

【Activities】The show is conducted in English, with a Japanese guide interpreting nearby. However, since our group had over 30 people and only one guide, if you sit far from the guide, you can hardly hear the Japanese translation. If you don't understand the language, it really diminishes the enjoyment, so I recommend that those who are not confident in English sit close to the guide.

By the way, the tour led by the guide ended with options: 1. Visit a Mormon church, 2. Watch a movie at a cinema, or 3. Follow the guide to see a fire-making and coconut-splitting show. We chose option 3, and the performer in the show had a hilarious character. I'm glad we picked this option.

【Food】The buffet style was not terrible in taste, but it wasn't exceptionally good either. The atmosphere felt like a cheap buffet. It might be appropriate for the price? That said, there was a good variety of meat dishes and desserts, so I think it's great for those who prioritize quantity over quality. The purple sweet potato dish at the salad bar was quite tasty.

【Evening Show】It was completely different from what I imagined; it was a genuine arena theater. The set was large and impressive. However, since it was in a play format, I found myself dozing off quite a bit during the performance. (Everyone in my group was dozing off too.) Personally, I would have preferred to see a simple, vibrant dance or show.

【Overall】I think it’s a good facility to experience the atmosphere of Polynesia.

【入場】私たちのグループは直接現地まで行きましたが、ツアーバスでの参加の方がほとんどなのか、最初に訪ねた日本人スタッフの方は手続きをよく知らなかったようで入場にちょっと手間取りました。

【アクティビティ】英語でのショーを日本人ガイドがそばで
通訳するというスタイルなのですが、私たちのグループは30数名で一人のガイドなので、ガイドさんから離れた席に座ってしまうと日本語はほとんど聞こえません。
言葉が理解できないと楽しさ半減なので、英語が苦手な方はぜひガイドさんの近くに席を取ることをお勧めします。

ちなみにガイドさんによるツアーの最後は選択性になっていて、1.モルモン教の教会を見る 2.映画館で映画をみる 3.そのままガイドさんについて火起こしとココナツ割りのショーを見る というものでした。
私たちは3を選択したのですが、このショーのパフォーマーのおかまキャラでとても面白かったです。これを選択して良かったと思ってます。


【料理】ビュッフェ形式で、味はものすごくまずいわけではありませんが、ものすごくおいしいわけでもない。といった感じです。雰囲気も、安いビュッフェという感じ。値段相応かな?
とはいえ、肉料理やデザートも豊富にあるので、質より量を重視の方にはいいと思います。
けっこうおいしかったのがサラダのところにあった紫芋の金時みたいなもの。

【夜のショー】想像とは全然違い、本格的なアリーナ劇場でした。セットも大がかりでびっくり。
ただ、お芝居形式なので途中かなりウトウトしてしまいました。(同行者もみんな途中寝てました^^)
私としてはできれば単純に華やかな踊りやショーが見たかったですが・・

【総合】ポリネシアの雰囲気を味わうのにはいい施設だと思います。

It was fun. 楽しかったです

Reviewed by: アラフォートラベラー

I am someone who is afraid of heights and even hesitates to ride roller coasters. I felt anxious and nervous after arriving at the airport with the rental car, and I was still fidgeting on the plane. The moment of takeoff was a bit scary, but during the free fall, I felt completely fine and it was just exhilarating. Once the parachute opened and the descent speed decreased, I actually felt a thrill as I was spun around in right and left turns, which was a bit frightening. If I could handle it, then those who are afraid of heights will definitely be fine too! It's a rural area, so both the sea and mountains offer stunning views, and there are Japanese staff on site, which is reassuring. I would love to go again.

This was my first visit on my eighth trip to Hawaii, and I really wish I had gone earlier. Our guide, Malie, did an amazing job. I think it would be better to slow down the walking pace a bit for the older participants. On the bus ride there, the scenery is wonderful, so I recommend sitting on the right side.

8回目のハワイで初めて訪れましたが、やはりもっと早いうちに行けばよかったと思いました。ガイドのマリイはすごく頑張ってくれました。年配の参加者のために、歩く速度はもう少しゆっくりにしたほうがいいと思うよ。行きのバスは、景色が素晴らしいので、右側の席がおすすめです。

Sharks Galore!

Myself and a close friend were visiting Oahu for 5 days, and she decided that we should take the time to go 'swimming with sharks.'

Now, keep in mind that I have a tremendous fear of drowning and also am not too keen on the idea of swimming with sharks, but I was convinced to 'live a little,' and I signed us up for the North Shore Shark Adventure- and I am SO GLAD that I did.

The staff were EXTREMELY helpful, witty, and sarcastic in the right places. They put everyone's fears to rest at the beginning of the tour, and were extremely knowledgeable about everything regarding the tour and more. (Who knew that specific sharks will just bump you with their noses and then leave you alone because they have taste buds on the outside of their bodies?)

For our tour, the wind was really picking up and the seas were a bit choppy, so there was a little bit more salt water swallowed than I care for and 1/2 our party got seasick..* (they recommend buying dramamine at the beginning of the to

Beautiful Beach on North Shore

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

The Beach on the North Shore tour was beautiful, very clean, and a refreshing change from Waikiki Beach. The waves were much stronger and had great surfing beaches along the way for those interested in that. Really enjoyed watching folks on that diving rock there. The ride was long, but the driver was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and relayed lots of information about Hawaii. The stroll through the small, older town with shops and eateries was unique. Loved the music provided by that musical family that lives there and entertains the tourists. A relief to see more enjoyable aspects of Oahu without the hassle of driving.

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

Wonderful Experience!!

Reviewed by: Kristi

I recently visited Oahu for the 2nd time. My first luau experience in 2003 was with Germaine's Luau. That was very fun, but I felt it was too "touristy".

So on my recent trip to Oahu to visit a friend, we decided to try the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I am sooo glad that we did. The whole experience was amazing. We did the half day late entry package (upgraded to Ambassador). There is so much to see and learn about the Polynesian Islands and cultures. The dinner was seriously the best food, along with real students at the PCC performing a show during the dinner.

Then the "Ha! Breath of Life" show after dinner was so incredible. The story was great and the performances from all the different polynesian cultures were so wonderful. I cannot stress enough how much I am reccommending you visit the Polynesian Cultural Center and take in everything you can while you are there.
