All Reviews for Oahu Luau Tickets

I didn't have high expectations for the buffet, but it was better than I thought. The theater performance, especially the highlight fire dance, was wonderful. I felt there could have been more solo dance parts for the hula.

ビュッフェはあまり期待していませんでしたが、思った以上に良かったです。
演劇も目玉となるファイヤーダンスが素晴らしかったです。
フラのソロパートのダンスがもっとあっても良い気がしました。

We participated as a family of four. This was our fourth trip to Hawaii, but it was our first time at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
On the bus ride there, we enjoyed the scenery as we passed along the east coast of the island. The guide's commentary was also great.
Since it was a tour that included only dinner and the show, we didn't get to explore much of the center, but I felt it was a very beautiful and pleasant-themed park.
The show was story-driven and entirely in English, but I was able to understand it well enough. Above all, I was overwhelmed by the scale of it. The final fire dance was spectacular, and the crowd was really excited.
Next time, I definitely want to go during the day.

親子４人で参加しました。４回目のハワイですが、初めてのポリネシア文化センターでした。
行きのバスでは、島の東海岸を通るので、景色を楽しむことができました。ガイドさんのトークも良かったです。
夕食とショーのみのツアーだったので、センター内は少ししか回れませんでしたが、とても綺麗で良い雰囲気のテーマパークだと感じました。
ショーはストーリー仕立てで、全部英語でしたが、十分理解できました。何よりそのスケールに圧倒されました。最後のファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。外人大盛り上がりでした。
今度は是非昼間から行きたいです。

We’ve been to many Luaus over the years but this one was the best ever. It was personal, informative, and super entertaining. Definitely recommend to others. Each guest felt involved without big crowds and big lines.

The grounds were very spacious, but since I joined for dinner, I was disappointed that I couldn't fully enjoy it. The buffet meal was delicious, and the show was amazing, making it my best memory in Hawaii.

とても広い敷地内でしたが、夕食からの参加だったので堪能することが出来ず残念でした。
バイキングの食事が美味しかったのと、ショーが最高だったのでハワイで一番良かった思い出です。

We gathered before 8 AM and returned to the hotel around 10:30 PM. It was truly a full day, a fulfilling tour.

Previously, I participated in the afternoon canoe show with a friend, and this time, I joined this half-day tour combined with sightseeing with my mother.

It was great to show my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, Hanauma Bay and the "Tree of Life" from Hitachi. The cultural center, with the canoe show and village performances, was all wonderful and enjoyable. The highlight was definitely the night show; the fire dance is a must-see!

From Hanauma Bay to the "Tree of Life," then to Dole and Haleiwa, the guide provided information along the way, which was fun. However, it felt a bit packed with sightseeing. We only had about 20 minutes in Haleiwa, so a little more time there would have been nice. I rated it ★4, but I highly recommend this satisfying tour.

Here we have a small group of nice folks pouring their soul into this wonderful luau. Imagine all this happing within the beautiful confines of Waimea Valley! Great food, great entertainment and one heck of a value. Toa Luau is centered around the traditional Samoan luau ways and pays respect to Hawaii and all the islands of Polynesia. My party of six adults chose the Silver package and were delighted with our seating position to the show. The food was amazing. Do yourself a favor... leave the other touristy luaus to the tourists and experience what these lovely folks work so hard to share. Well done Toa Luau!!

I have seen hula shows here and there, but this one portrayed the story of life—from birth to death, and the birth of children—performed with great intensity by a total of 100 dancers, making it enjoyable without getting bored. It's a bit of a distance from Waikiki, but even for those who have seen many hula shows, I believe this show is definitely something to see when you come to Hawaii.

あちらこちらでフラのショーは見ましたが、こちらのは人の誕生から死、子の誕生というように人生のストーリーが総勢100名のダンサーによって大迫力で演じられていて、飽きずに楽しめました。ワイキキからはちょっとありますが、またフラのショーをたくさん見られた方でも、ここのショーはハワイに来られたら是非見るべきものだと思います。

Our departure from Waikiki was around 3 PM, which was just right for our arrival in Hawaii. I chose the premium meal, and it included half a crab! The buffet was also very delicious, and I was extremely satisfied. After the meal, we had free time to explore. The show was grand and very enjoyable. Although it was entirely in English, I think even those who don't understand English will find it easy to follow, as the story is explained on the bus. While we can't take photos during the show, there is a photo session afterward. There are two bus stops for the return trip, so it's best to be careful not to get confused.

ワイキキからの出発が3時頃でしたので、ハワイ到着時の参加にちょうど良かったです。
ご飯はプレミアムにしたのでカニが半身ついていました！バイキングもとても美味しくて大満足です。
ご飯後は自由散策の時間もありました。
ショーは盛大でとても楽しかったです。全編英語でしたが、英語がわからない人もバスの中でストーリーの中身は解説してくれるので話はわかりやすいと思います。
写真は撮れませんが、ショーのあとに撮影会があります。帰りのバス停は二箇所あるので間違えないように気を付けたほうが良いです。

Yuka, who guided us on the bus from the hotel to the cultural center, conveyed her heartfelt effort and creativity in her guidance. Thank you. She had the same name as my daughter who participated with me, and the show was more moving than I expected.

ホテルから文化センターまで、バスの中でガイドをしてくれたゆうかさん、ご自分なりに工夫して一生懸命ガイドしてくれた気持ちが伝わりましたよ、ありがとう。一緒に参加した私の娘と同じ名前でした、ショーは予想以上に感動しました

The Polynesian show was longer and more grand than I expected, but since there were no dialogues, I started to feel sleepy due to jet lag and fatigue. The show itself was quite well-structured; I thought it would only feature fire dancing, so I was pleasantly surprised in a good way. I had a lot of fun.

Since I was seated in the front row, I could see the cast members' faces clearly.

As for the buffet... rather than the taste, there were so many flies gathering that I could hardly eat anything. This was quite shocking for me. Well, I had anticipated it, so I suppose it can't be helped, but I think those who can't handle flies should be prepared before going.

ポリネシアンショーが思ったよりも長く壮大で、しかしセリフもないため時差ボケだったり疲れたりしていると段々と眠気が…
ショー自体はかなりしっかりとしたつくりでファイヤーダンスだけかな？と思っていたのでいい意味で裏切られました。楽しかったです。
前方席だけあってキャストさんの顔もきちんと見える場所に座れます。
ブッフェは…味がどうと言うよりハエが集りに集ってきてほとんど食べれませんでした…こちらはショックでした…まぁ予想はできていたので仕方ないといえば仕方ないですがハエが無理な方は覚悟して行くべきだと思います。

I made a reservation because I wanted to see the fire dance, and I was moved by the performance, which was completely different from what I see on TV! No words are needed!
Due to my mistake, I somehow managed to arrive on my own, but the staff were very kind to us, who only speak Japanese, and I felt the warmth of the people.
Next time, I want to come back with plenty of time to spare for a rematch.

ファイヤーダンスを観たくて予約したのですが、テレビで見るそれとは全く違う演出に感動しました！言葉はいりません‼︎
私のミスで、なんとか自力で到着したのですが日本語しか出来ない私たちにとても親切にしてくださり人の暖かさを感じました。
今度は時間に余裕をもってリベンジしたいです。

Definitely check out the show! In the end, there was a standing ovation. The guide was kind and easy to understand. Along the way, we saw seals on the beach, and there were many experiences that you can't have in Japan.

ショーは是非みてください^ ^最後はスタンディングオベーションでした♪ ガイドの人も親切でわかりやすかったです♪道中もビーチにアザラシがいたり日本では味わえないこともたくさんありました^ ^

I have seen various shows so far, but this was the largest in scale. The content was a bit drawn out, and my 4-year-old daughter lost focus midway. However, the dance itself was very sophisticated. We were seated in row L (with A being the front) because I signed up just a few days prior.

The shuttle bus was guided by a lovely Japanese exchange student who was always smiling. She kindly introduced us to the landmarks along the way and shared information about Hawaii. I regret not giving her a tip. On the way back, it was just the driver.

The meal was a buffet, and while the variety was limited, the quality was good. It was far superior to the Sheraton we visited later! Alcohol was not included on the menu.

今までいろいろ見てきましたが一番規模が大きかったです。
ちょっと間延びした内容で4歳の娘は途中で集中力が切れてしまいました。
が、ダンス自体はとても洗練されていました。
中央前方でしたが、数日前に申し込んだためかL列（Aが一番前）でした。

迎えのバスがガイド付きでしたが、終始笑顔が素敵な日本人留学生でした。
道中の名所やハワイ事情を丁寧に案内してくれました。
チップを渡しそびれたのが心残りです。
帰りはドライバーのみでした。

食事はビュッフェですが、種類は少ないですが、質は良かったです。
後日行ったシェラントンに圧勝です！
アルコールはメニューにありませんでした。

We departed from Honolulu in the evening and immediately enjoyed a buffet-style meal, followed by the "Breath of Life 'Ha'" show.

I really wanted to see the Māori Haka, but after arriving at the center, I thought I would have some time to explore the village, but there was hardly any time, and by the time we got there, all the village performances had already ended. If you're just going for the meal and the show, I think it would be much more enjoyable to go during the day and see the performances at each village.

The return bus is different from the bus we took to get there, so it's essential to remember your return bus number. It seems they organize the pickups based on the language spoken.

ホノルルを夕方出発で、着いてすぐにバイキング形式の食事、その後Breath of Life "Ha"のショーを見てきました。

本当はぜひマオリ族のHAKAを見たかったのですが、センターに着いた後、多少村を見て回る時間があるかと思っていたもののほとんどなく、また時間的にどの村のパフォーマンスも終わっていて見ることができませんでした。
ゴハンとショーだけなら、ぜひ昼間に行って各村のパフォーマンスを見た方が楽しいと思います。

帰りのバスは行きのバスとは違うので、必ず自分の帰りのバス番号を覚えておく必要があります。
何語を話すかで固めて送迎しているようです。

It takes a little while to get there by bus from Waikiki, but it's worth it! The show is very well structured and keeps you engaged, with everyone delivering powerful performances. There were also some touching moments, and it made me realize that even living in the city, we need time to reflect on a simpler way of life.

ワイキキからバスで少しかかりますが、行く価値はあります！
ショーはとてもよい構成で、飽きさせませんし、みなさん大迫力のパフォーマンスを見せてくれます。
ちょっと感動もあり、都会で生きる自分たちも、シンプルな暮らしに思いを馳せる時間が必要だと痛感しました。

I was invited by my enthusiastic friend to join. I complained about not being able to drink and the distance, but by the end of the show, I was so moved that I felt like crying.

のりのりの友人に誘われて申し込みました。お酒も飲めないし遠いしと文句を言いつつでしたが、ショーの最後は感動のあまり泣きそうになりました。

I participated in this tour alone but I had a lot of fun there! There were many activities, performances, and exhibitions. I stayed there over 9 hours and I was so satisfied with the tour!

The tour guide was wonderful lots of stories funny and knew lots of history. I enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center as well all the different cultures was interesting and fun at the same time. Great time for the whole day of staying busy.

The meals are served buffet-style, so you can enjoy whatever you like, but the seating was a bit cramped. The dance show was like a musical, with moving performances that made the 1.5 hours feel short.

食事はビュッフェ形式なので、好きなものをいただけばよいのですが、席が少し窮屈でした。ダンスショーはミュージカルショーの様で感動的な演出等があり1.5時間が短く感じたほどでした。

The package with transportation was very helpful since I stayed in Waikiki and couldn't use a rental car.

It looks quite far on the map, but on the way there, I enjoyed the view from the car window with a Japanese-speaking guide. On the way back, there was no guide, but I was able to sleep comfortably.

We were first taken to dinner, and then we watched the show. I didn't have high expectations for the meal based on other reviews, but perhaps because of that, I thought, "This is surprisingly great."

The part of the show with the fire manipulation was really impressive and the most memorable! At the end, you can take a commemorative photo with the performers. Since you're there, definitely do it!

ワイキキに宿泊かつレンタカーが利用できなかったため、送迎付きのパッケージは非常に助かりました。

地図で見るとかなり遠いですが、行きは日本語のガイド付きで車窓からの眺めを楽しめました。帰りはガイドなしですが、心地よく眠ることが出来ました。笑

初めに食事に案内され、その後ショーを観ました。食事は他の方のレビューからあまり期待していなかったのですが、そのおかげか、「意外とすごい」と思えました。

ショーは火を操る部分の迫力がすごく、1番印象的でした！
最後は演者と記念撮影もできます。せっかくなので、是非！

It was amazing and I was deeply moved! I'm glad I pushed myself to reserve seats in the center front. The excitement of the fire dance was incredible, and I could feel the heat right next to me! I want to tell my friends about it.

素晴らしい感動しました！無理して中央前方席を予約して良かったです。臨場感が半端なかったファイヤーダンスの熱気が直ぐ側で感じられました！友達にも教えたいと思います。

We were picked up in WAIKIKI and took a bus to the Polynesian Cultural Center, where the guide entertained us with local information during the ride. They mentioned that it's okay to sleep if you're feeling tired, so no worries about that!

I had imagined the cultural center to be similar to a community center in Japan, but it turned out to be a vast area where you can explore various attractions. The meals are served buffet-style, so there's no overwhelming amount of food, and you can eat only what you like.

The show itself was more impressive than I expected, and I really enjoyed it! I highly recommend this plan for first-time visitors. ⭐︎

WAIKIKIでピックアップしてもらいポリネシア文化センターへバスで移動しましたが、途中のバス内もガイドさんがローカル情報を混ぜて楽しませてくれます。
眠い人は寝てていいですとのことなので気にせず寝てもOK:)
文化センターという名前から日本の公民館的な場所を想像していましたが、広大なスポットで色々見て回ることもできるようです！
食事もビュッフェなので多すぎるということもなく、好きなものだけ食べられます。
ショー自体も思っていたより迫力があり、楽しめました！
初めて行く方は是非一度と勧められるプランでした⭐︎

The buffet-style dinner was not satisfying due to the limited selection. If there are few people, you will be seated with others. I chose this place because it included transportation, but it might be wiser to dine at one of the restaurants inside the center instead of the buffet. The center was just as I imagined, lively and enjoyable. The mixed juice I bought from a stall to drink while watching the show was very delicious. It was frozen, so I could enjoy it cold until the end. As for the show, it was outstanding. I saw a fire dance live for the first time, and it was thrilling. The story was structured in a way that anyone could enjoy it (it reminded me a bit of The Lion King).

ブュッフェスタイルのディナーは、品数も少なく満足とは言えません。人数少ない場合は相席となります。
送迎込みだったので選びましたが、ディナーはブュッフェで取るよりもセンター内のレストランに入る方が賢いかも？
センターは想像通りに和気藹々としており、楽しめました。ショーを見る際飲む為に出店で買ったミックスジュースがとても美味しかったです。凍っていたので最後まで冷たく楽しめました。
ショーですが、言うことなしです。生で初めてファイヤーダンスを見ましたがハラハラドキドキしました。ストーリー制になっており誰が見ても楽しめると思います。(ライオンキングをふつふつと思い出すw)

When I first got tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I was a little worried since we would be there all day. Would we find enough to do for 9 hours? Yes, yes we could, and one day wasn't even enough!

There were so many incredible activities and performances in all of the different villages, but my favorites had to be Samoa and Hawaii. The presenter for Samoa was not hilarious, but so entertaining, and quite the hottie too! :P I knew Hawaii would be great, how could it not be, but I was blown away by their performances.

We also visited Tahiti and New Zealand, but didn't have time for Fiji or Tonga unfortunately. Next visit! The canoe ride, and the canoe pageant were quite fun, and even the IMAX movie which we chose to see as a break from the walking, ended up being very good! You definitely don't want to miss it!

The food at the luau was so tasty, and I had a LOT of poke. So much poke. Like, pretty much all of the poke was in my belly by the end of dinner. And although I loved the show while we ate, the highlight was definitely the evening Breath of Life show. It was so interesting to see hula and other dances put to a story.

The day was long, but so worth it!

The Polynesian Cultural Center is definitely a must-visit. Even if you don't understand English, you can still enjoy it. The buffet was delicious, and the evening show was amazing! It may be a classic, but the fire dance was breathtaking!

ポリネシアカルチャーセンターは絶対に行くべきですよ。英語が分からなくても楽しめました。
バイキングも美味しくて、夜のショーは最高でしたよ！定番かも知れませんが、ファイヤーダンスは圧巻！

I had a amazing time with Toa Luau, food, drinks & show are great. It's a very family oriented luau and the location is beautiful. The good thing about being far from Waikiki, is that you can skip the crowds from the other shows and get a more personal experience.

I really enjoyed the pre-luau activities, they let us be part of dinner preparation and we learned how to make some traditional Polynesian dishes. They let us peel taro, green banana, they showed us how make flower leis & how to use palm leafs to make headbands, baskets and hats. We played Polynesian games and had the chance to play some musical instruments too. Kids and adults were having so much fun! I believe this is the only luau where you can experience a Kava Cerimony, one of the most iconic cultural traditions in Fiji.

I've been to other luaus before, but this one felt different. I didn't feel as a tourist. The staff makes you feel like you are part of their family and that they are inviting you for a real party at their home, so it made the evening really special.
Another good thing is that it includes admission to Waimea Valley. We arrived earlier and were able to enjoy the botanical garden and of course, swim at the most famous waterfall on Oahu. There are changing rooms available at the park so you can get ready for the luau.

I recommend this luau for everyone who is looking for a real luau experience and wants to learn more about the beautiful Hawaiian & Polynesian culture. Absolutely loved it!

The fire dance performed at night has a story and is fascinating; it really moves your heart, so if you come to Hawaii, you definitely should see it!

夜に行われるファイヤーダンスはストーリーがあって面白く、心が震えるので、ハワイに来たら絶対に見たほうがいいです！

Since many pickups occur at the same location, we were a bit anxious as we don't speak English, but the person who came to pick us up spoke to us in Japanese, which made us feel relieved.

同じ場所で多くのピックアップがされるので、英語が話せない私達は少し不安がありましたが、迎えに来てくれた方が日本語で問いかけして下さり、安心しました。

It was my second time at the Polynesian Cultural Center show, and the content was different from last time. The story format made it very enjoyable. However, it was disappointing that alcohol was not available during the meal.

２度目のポリネシアン文化センターのショーでしたが
前回とは内容も変わり、ストーリー形式でとても楽しめました
ただ、食事の時アルコールが飲めなくなっていたのは残念でした

You can see traditional Hawaiian dances. The dinner buffet is also delicious. If I had more time, I would have liked to join a tour to visit and experience the Polynesian Cultural Center during the day, but I could only find time in the evening.

ハワイの伝統的な踊りを見れます。夕食のブッフェもおいしいです。時間があれば、昼間から、ポリネシアカルチャーセンターを見学・体験するツアーに参加したかったですが、夕方しか時間が取れませんでした
