All Reviews for Oahu Luau Tickets

The show was super entertaining! 10/10.
The food was fantastic and they don’t let you go hungry :). 10/10
The bar drinks were disappointing. We each had 2 and none were drinkable. 1/10

The buffet has a wide variety of dishes, but the meat is tough and the seafood seasoning doesn't suit Japanese tastes, so overall, it was disappointing. Honestly, it might have been better to skip the buffet and use nearby restaurants or food trucks. The presentation of the food was interesting, but the taste quality received low ratings even from middle and high school kids.

As for the show, I can recommend it for adults, but since it's conducted in Hawaiian and English, you would need a certain level of English listening skills and some prior knowledge of the story to fully understand and appreciate it. There was a mix-up, or perhaps there were empty seats, as I ended up in a gold seat instead of the bronze seat I was supposed to have, which was a nice surprise. It seems that the main audience consists of tourists from the mainland U.S., and it's not a tourist spot that particularly caters to Japanese visitors. Additionally, due to the timing and travel fatigue, the kids seemed to doze off and didn't appear to enjoy it much.

The air conditioning on the shuttle bus was extremely cold, even for someone like me who tends to get hot easily. It's essential to bring a jacket if you're taking the bus.

Regarding tipping the shuttle bus driver, I didn't give one this time. The driver on the way there was very engaging and kept the conversation in English enjoyable, so some travelers from the mainland did tip him. Since there were several Japanese tourists as well, I think it would be nice to tip if there were a bit more service geared towards Japanese visitors.

ビッフェの品数も多いのですが、肉類は硬く海鮮系の味付けも日本人には合わず全体的に期待できません。正直、勿体無いけどビッフェは捨てて、近隣のレストランやフードトラックを利用した方が良かったぐらいです。食事の見た目は珍しい物も多く良いのですが、味のクォリティは中高生の子供達からも評価は低かったです。
また、ショーは大人へはお勧めできますが、ハワイ語？と英語での進行ですので、ある程度の英語ヒアリング能力やストーリー内容の予習がないと理解と評価は格段に下がってしまうと思われます。手違いか、空席があったのかブロンズシートの筈が何故かゴールドシートの端になっていたのは有り難かったです。どちらかと言えばアメリカ本土からの観光客がメインで、日本人観光客を優遇してくれるような観光地ではありません。また時間帯の影響と旅の疲れで子供達はウトウトして余り楽しんだ様子はありませんでした。
送迎バスのエアコンがガンガンで、超暑がりの私でも凍える程でした。バスに乗られる方の上着持参は必須です。
個人的に気になった、送迎バスの運転手へのチップですが今回は渡していません。行きのバスの運転手は道中英語での会話で終始楽しませてくれる方なので、本土からの旅行者の中にはチップを渡していた方もいました。日本人観光客も複数組居ましたので、少々日本人向けのサービスでもあれば渡してあげれば良いと思います。

The food was amazing, the show was a class act, staff and service was excellent, very welcoming and respectful, it was though very far from Waikiki but overall a perfect ending to our vacation.

Really great evening and full day as well. full of island culture!

The Luau was good. The Kalua pork was amazing. The plating could have been better. The staff were very friendly and nice.

Easy booking and easy check in. Recommand to book early guys, do not wait to purchase at the gate, will regret.

Great place for kidss
Very interactive
Had a special feel to it.
Enjoyed the knowledge I got from each pavilion

Great show, solid food, mixed drinks good, interactive displays fun. We got the gold package which was nice, but silver would have been almost as good. It's awesome that the botanical garden tickets were included with the show tickets. Get there early to get parking otherwise it fills up fast. The entertainers put in a lot of effort and they have some great skills.

First, I was dropped off at the parking lot by the shuttle car, and for the return, I was just told to take that bus back. I had to handle the tickets for the show and meal myself. The ticket fee for the park tour ($89 per person) was not included. The women in their 60s to 80s who were with me had nothing to do and waited around the souvenir shop for about two hours, had a meal, watched the show, and then went home. (It was sad.) I don't think I'll ask for this again next time!

まず、送迎の車で駐車場で降ろされ、帰りはあのバス乗って帰れってだけで、自分でショー＆食事のチッケットを行わなければいけなかった。
パーク内見学のチッケット代(一人８９ドル)は含まれていなっかった。
同乗せれてた６０～８０代の女性達は何もすることなく土産屋付近で２時間程待って食事をし、ショーを見て帰られた。(かわいそうだった)
次回はお願いしないかな！

It was the first time taking my family to PCC and they enjoyed learning about the different islands and cultures. It was a fun and filled with hands on activities for any one of any age to participate in. The buffet had a lot of food to offer and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We were initially seated in the back but we had two members in our family with mobility issues and they promptly reseated us closer to the food. The show Ha was great. I have never seen a woman Samoan fire dancer and she was phenomenal.

In a bid to book a quickly selling show, we booked tickets online for the PCC, not realising that this booking didn't include the luau/food. I reached out to the team at Veltra both by email and phone, and was exceptionally served by your team. So very blessed by the experience at PCC and the way the Veltra team made it easy to swap our tickets! Thank you so very much Veltra!

All the tours were awesome but the Ha Breath of Life was a great way to end the day!

The villages were quite a treat! Quite personal, few crowds, and thoroughly educational & entertaining!
The buffet dinner had many choices, but we were not too happy with the quality of the main dishes; beef was of low quality, somewhat tough, & often cold by the time it got to our table; chicken was again of poor quality & soaked in unusual sauces; fish likewise. Would prefer less choices & better quality! Service was good.

This tour was truly a full day adventure! I am so happy I visited the PCC and took the time to learn more about Hawaiian culture. The family and I loved the Luau!

This luau was wonderful! Dinner was great, the service was well executed and we learned so much about the Polynesian culture. The show was awesome! Very talented performers who made it so much fun for everyone in attendance! This is a definite yes!!

Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great!

If I get the opportunity to come back 2,3,4 times, I’d do it. Enjoyed my time here!

I lived in Hawaii, and have been to PCC several times. I love it every time I go. Whenever I have a newcomer to Hawaii, I take them there or recommend it to them and I recommend it to you all. Also, I advise getting the Luau and show package for the whole experience.

We chose this luau because of the beautiful setting in the Waimea Valley. Would recommend getting to the North Shore early in the day, spend some time at Waimea Bay then tour the Park and Falls before the luau. Much better to experience this cultural experience in such a stunning, natural setting.We had our teenage son and daugher with us and our mother and everyone had a great time. The family and staff work hard, wearing a variety of hats throughout the evening-serving dinner, running the lawn activities, and of course performing a large variety of authentic dances and music. The host is genuine and the food was very good. Everything tastes authentic and high quality. The whole operation was enjoyable, I even enjoyed the lawn activities more than I expected. We reviewed many luaus on Oahu and are very glad we chose this one.

This was my 2nd time visiting PCC, 16 years ago was my 1st visit. Nice to see Chief Kap is still there and still has many talents. A lot has changed, the Breath Of Life show was spectacular. The fire dance was amazing. The students that work there, every single one I came across were so pleasant and helpful. Everyone had a big smile and go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable. If you haven’t been to any luaus in Oahu, I’d suggest PCC. Hands down the best one on the island. Mahalo!

Was so impressed with the overall layout of the PCC. Upon arrival there are restrooms, water refill stations. Shops selling lots of good value and different styles of gifts. We started with a ride on the canoe through the villages , the guide was knowledge and told us about the fifferent countries also very interactive with the younger children. We visited as many villages as possible , experienced aspects of their culture through dance, craft or food. It is clear to see the young peoples love of their countries and culture. The buffet was way beyond my expectations, proper dining experience, we were able to taste all foods and it was self service, chicken,beef pork,fish, rice,noodles,salads and so many desserts the list goes on. Very disappointed to see people wasting so much food, piling plates with too much food, especially when the culture of the Polynesian people is to value food and not waste food. We were thanked for supporting the PCC, the monies raised support the students to study and return to their countries to improve the lives of others. Would highly recommend great day out

I saw the show for the first time in 30 years. The show had a storyline and felt completely different. The cast was large and their professionalism was impressive, which really moved me. I will definitely go again the next time I come to Hawaii.

30年ぶりにショーを見ました。ショーがストーリー化されていて別ものでした。出演者も大人数でプロ意識が高く感じるられすごく感動しました。次回もハワイに来る時は是非行きます。

We loved this tour. We were able to do some sightseeing and enjoyed a full day at PCC. The drivers were great too, very knowledgeable.

Great place to emerge into the Polynesian cultures and learn about each island culture and language. Definitely a fun and family friendly place to be at.

I visited Hawaii for the first time in 40 years. I had also been to the Polynesian Cultural Center back then, so I signed up for the dinner and theater option tour, but it was only a drop-off service at the same price.

　40年振りにハワイ観光をしました。その時もポリネシアカルチャーセンターには、行きましたので、ディナーとシアターのみのオプションツアーを申し込みましたが、同一価格で送りのみでした。

We enjoyed walking to the falls, the cultural tour through the hales, the botanical gardens and the peacocks. But the lu'au dinner and show was amazing! We enjoyed the before dinner activities, delicious dinner and after dinner cultural dancing show. Definite highlight of our trip!

We went to a Friday afternoon Luau and WOW! The experience was amazing. Streamlined and efficient, the serving and hospitality staff were exceptional. The show itself blew us away. The cultural activities were so fun for our 3 year old. We had been married the day before and they celebrated that with us, which was really special. It was such a great experience we will definitely go back when we are next on Oahu! Highly recommended A+++ great value for your money and time

This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!

I highly recommend this, especially for families!

My family had a great time!

This is one experience you do not want to miss. Don’t pick just any luau! This was includes the ability to hike/ride a shuttle to a water fall! The entertainment is incredible and the history is the most enriching thing I’ve experienced. The staff are fun, friendly, and purposeful!
Seriously, don’t pass this up!

So much fun. Highly recommended. Funny host. Great food.
