The tour guide was great, the horses were lovely, the scenery was perfect, and the ride was peaceful and relaxing, but you won’t see the sunset on the beach like the photos suggest you will. (It sets behind the mountain across the street from the riding tour, which was a disappointment for me considering the name of the tour and the photos!)

We participated as a couple. Skydiving was my first time in life. I was very nervous, but in the end, it became the best memory! I'm not good with thrill rides like roller coasters, but having a guide made me feel safe to jump!
The thrill leading up to the jump was also fun, and I was able to see the best views, so I'm really glad I participated.
夫婦で参加しました。スカイダイビングは人生初。とてもドキドキしましたが、結果的に最高の思い出になりました!
私はジェットコースターなどの絶叫系は得意ではないのですが、ガイドさんがついてくれるので安心して飛べましました!
飛び立つまでのスリルも楽しかったし、最高の景色を見ることができて参加してとても良かったです。

It was too long of a day! Our bus left PCC after 9:20pm which meant we got back to Waikīkī almost 11pm. The day was great but the ending with the timing of the bus was a sour note.

The tour was fun! Our Drivers gave us information about sites as we drove along! We stopped at the macadamia nut farm and fruit stand!! He gave us options about what was available for us to do! I was with a big group, we chose hiking to the waterfall and kayaking/paddleboarding!! The hike was along a paved road so not much hiking but swimming in a waterfall was worth it!! Make sure you wear water shoes that can tolerate walking on rocks if you get in at the waterfall! And while paddle boarding, I saw a turtle then ate gelato at one of the vendors near the lake!
Overall 9/10 experience!!! Would have loved to have gone to the beach as well but time didn’t permit

We went to many of the activities and to the Gateway dinner. We felt it was excellent and a beautiful display plus we learnt a lot.
Thank you all so very much...
I was particularly wishing to go to a Luau and that was what I thought I booked from Australia before we went.....however discovered while there that I had booked the Gateway dinner. Bit disappointed but the dinner was lovely and the whole experience fantastic!!! Thank you all so much...

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a “must have adventure” that we would highly recommend from couples to families. We spent a day and enjoyed every second of it. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and kept it quiet but loved the experience of the Tahitian wedding ceremony where we renewed our promise. The food experience was outstanding, we tried a lot of food that we never tried before. The raw tuna was our favourite. 1 day was not enough to have the time to have some art workshop to do and sadly we couldn’t go back to have an Okulele session.
Thank you for the experience of our lifetime. Tia and Zoltan from Ireland

I thoroughly enjoyed a full day walking around the Polynesian Cultural Center, being introduced to the different cultures, learning history, watching free performances, and buying HI things for family back home. The buffet dinner was outstanding with excellent, friendly service from staff.
The best part was the "HA Breath of Life" show. I've seen Broadway in NY and a show in the west end of London, and this show as just as good, maybe even better as it revolves around true cultural experiences for the audience to witness. I actually got tear-upped more than once. I hope many other will get the opportunity. It was worth every penny and the late bus ride back into Honolulu.

I booked this on a whim (had seen a few recommendations from a travel group on Facebook). I am so glad I did!!! This was hands down our favorite thing we did. Our trip to PCC included transportation there and back, which was convenient because we didn’t rent a car. From the time we were dropped at the center to the time we arrived back at our drop off spot in Waikīkī, we were impressed. The story telling, the interactive demonstrations, the hospitality and excitement of everyone working at the center was nothing less than amazing. We ate at the restaurant called Pounders for lunch, the service was excellent and the food was some of the best we had our whole time here. We both learned so much about the Polynesian Cultures and the end show “Ha breathe of life” is one of the best live performances we’ve gone to. Anyone visiting should definitely book this, you won’t be disappointed! We spent one day at PCC, but I think you could definitely spend multiple days and really immerse yourself in each culture and spend time participating in all the activities!

The place itself is well laid out but it's a tourist trap.
Richard was our bus driver and although he wanted to give us as much information as he could, he repeated himself on several topics....I felt like saying to him that it's ok to be quiet on parts of the journey.

When I used this site to make a reservation, it was cheaper than booking directly at the store. The feeling is that while ascending in the Cessna, the tension builds up, and at the moment of the dive, the wind pressure is incredible as you stand at the edge of the plane. During the dive, since the ground is far away, there’s less fear compared to a 20 or 30-meter free fall. After the dive, you fall while enjoying the scenery, but even while falling, there’s no sense of the ground getting closer at all, and it feels like the ground slowly approaches after the parachute opens. This is my third experience, but in the past two times, I felt a bit of parachute sickness after the parachute opened, so I recommend motion sickness medication for those who are prone to it.
自身が利用した時はこのサイトで予約した方が直接店舗に予約するよりも安かった。感覚としてはセスナで上昇している間は緊張感が高まり、いざダイブする瞬間は、まず飛行機の縁にスタンバった時に風圧がすごいです。ダイブの瞬間は地面が遠いので2、30メートルのフリーフォールよりも恐怖感はないです。ダイブのした後は景色を見ながら落下しますが、落下している間も全く地面が近づいて来る気配がなく、パラシュートが開いた後にゆっくりと地面が近づいて来る感じです。今回3回目の体験になるが過去2回はパラシュートが開いた後、パラ酔いしてしまったので、乗り物酔いしやすい人は酔い止めをお勧めします。

My first skydiving experience was with my buddy Derek D. He was a bit of a jokester, and even while we were on the plane, he managed to scare me a little. Just before the dive, we all did a fist bump to encourage each other to return safely, which made me realize, as expected, that even for professionals, it’s a dangerous activity. After the dive, that turned into high fives, which I thought was nice.
He taught me the basics in minimal Japanese. During the dive, my mouth got really dry, and I wanted to keep it closed, but I couldn't help but scream, so the sore throat afterward was quite something... The staff wore full-face masks, so they didn’t have to deal with dryness—lucky them! The freefall after the parachute opened was fun, but occasionally we picked up speed and made turns, which was thrilling. Also, my ears hurt for half a day due to the pressure changes. Overall, it was a fantastic experience!
初スカイダイビング
デレクDさんがバディでした
少しお茶目な方で、飛行機に乗ってる時も少し脅かされてました
ダイビング直前には皆でグータッチで、無事に帰還するように、励ますようなやり取りが何回もあり、当たり前ですがやはりプロでも危険なものなんだなと感じました
ダイビング後にはそれがハイタッチに変わります
これもなんか良いなと思いました
最低限の日本語で教えてくれます
ダイビング中は口がめっちゃ乾くので口を閉じたいのですが、叫ばずのは居られないので終わったあとの喉の痛さときたら…
スタッフの方たちはフルフェイスなので乾燥知らず、いいな〜笑
パラシュート開いた後の空中遊泳は楽しかったですが、たまーにスピードを出して旋回してくるのでこれまたドキドキ
あと、気圧の変化で耳が半日は痛かったです

The first time, I was just scared and ended the experience, but after it was over, I thought, "What a wonderful experience! Next time, I want to enjoy it while flying!" So, I decided to try again six months later! I had a fantastic experience that I could never have in my daily life!
For my first attempt, I signed up for the handheld camera and photo package. I requested an outside camera (where a photographer flies separately from the instructor to take pictures) on-site, and I was shocked by the final video. The footage from the outside camera was edited upside down. I emailed three times and also contacted them via Instagram with detailed explanations and images asking for corrections, but I was ignored. I also reached out through this site, but that was ignored as well.
When I mentioned this on-site this time, they offered me the outside camera for free (the cost for the outside camera during my first attempt was $139). Since the weather was good this time, I was told I could jump from an additional 1000 meters for $160, so I requested that. Whether this would be possible depended on luck, but it was amazing! The photos and videos were sent the next day, and they were fantastic! The first video was about six minutes long, while the second was nine minutes. Depending on the instructor and photographer, there seems to be quite a difference in the experience and the footage. This also depends on luck. Everything was perfect this time!
1度目はひたすら怖がって体験を終えてしまい、
体験終了後に「素晴らしい体験だった!次は楽しみながら飛びたい!」と思い、半年後に再チャレンジ!日常では決して味わえない体験を楽しみながらさせていただきました!
1度目はハンディカメラと写真のパッケージで申し込み。現地でアウトサイドカメラ(カメラマンがインストラクターとは別でもうひとり飛んで撮影してくれる)を頼み、出来上がりの映像で驚愕。
アウトサイドカメラの映像が上下逆さまで編集されてました。メールで3度、インスタからも「直してほしい」と細かく説明や画像を添えて問い合わせたが、無視されてしまい、こちらのサイトにも問い合わせましたが、それも無視されたままでした。。
今回その事を現地で話すと、無料でアウトサイトカメラを付けてもらえました。(1度目のアウトサイトカメラ料金は139ドル)今回は天気が良いので+160ドルで+1000mの高さからのジャンプが出来るとの事でお願いしました。これが出来るかは運次第ですが、最高でした!写真と映像は翌日送られてきて、出来も最高でした!1度目の映像は約6分、2度目は9分でした。インストラクターとカメラマンによっては体験と映像にかなり差が出る印象。
これも運次第です。今回は全て最高でした!

Since there were no reviews on this site, I looked up other sites (which also had mostly English posts), and I really wanted to try Sunset SUP and paddle in both the river and the ocean, so I decided to join this tour.
In conclusion, it was definitely the right choice to participate!
At the beginning of September, the sunset is around 18:30 to 19:00, so we started at 16:30. We departed from the ocean and entered the connected river. Just before we started, it rained for a moment, and while paddling, we were able to see a rainbow.
We were the only ones doing SUP, and paddling through the quiet and calm river surrounded by trees was a blissful experience. We even encountered a sea turtle. After paddling a long distance down the river and turning back to return to the ocean, the sun was beginning to set, and we leisurely watched the sunset there. Although we finished SUP before it got dark, we returned to the beach and watched the sunset before leaving the North Shore.
The guide couldn't speak Japanese, so we communicated in English, and despite my limited English skills, I managed to communicate and had a great time. Also, since I was worried about whether there would be Uber or buses, I included it in a private tour. I highly recommend participating!
当サイトにクチコミがなかったので他サイトでも調べ(そこでも英語の書き込みばかりでしたが)、どうしてもサンセットサップがやりたかったのと、川だけでなく海も漕ぎたかったのでこちらのツアーに参加することにしました。
結論、参加して大正解でした!
9月頭だと日没が18:30~19:00頃なので16:30にスタート。海を出発し、繋がっている川に入っていきます。直前に一瞬雨が降ったこともあり、漕ぎながら虹を見ることができました。
SUPをしている人は私たちしかおらず静かで穏やかな川を漕ぐのですが、木々に囲まれた川をゆったりと進むのは至福の時でした。ウミガメにも遭遇できました。長い距離川を漕ぎ、折り返してまた海に戻ってくると日が沈みかけており、そこで日没をゆったりと眺めました。暗くなる前にSUPは終了しましたが、ビーチに戻って日が暮れるのを見てノースショアを後にしました。
ガイドさんは日本語が話せず英語での会話をしましたが拙い英語力でもなんとかコミュニケーションをとって楽しい一時を過ごせました。また、今回はUberやバスがあるか不安だったので個人ツアーの中に組み込みました。是非参加することをお勧めします!

We are so happy that you were able to enjoy the scenery, and the horses provided a relaxing ride! Depending on the time of the year, the position of the sun does move, and it will not always be positioned over the ocean. The sunset name is for the time of day that the ride occurs. Unfortunately, we have no control of the position of the sun, however I hope you were still able to enjoy the changing colors reflecting off the mountains and the ocean.
