North Shore
Its a rain or shine experienced but its awesome...My 7yo son is biracial Filipino Taiwanese and cannot understand english but he clapped like an adult during the HA a breath of life show... the fire dance by the samoan made him amaze...the food at gateway was perfect...I've seen so many Filipinos in the buffet area assesting us... So many crew assesting in the tribes sometimes I felt overwhelmed yet its good...the missionaries were good too... the asked me both are approachable too...they all smile...I'm so proud that they have Filipino and other asian workers...Mabuhay
PS. I liked the bus driver Shaft so funny and informative
I enjoyed the night show from a very good seat. The dance show was on a large scale and was even more amazing than I had imagined. I'm glad I participated.
ナイトショーはとても良い席で楽しませていただきました。
ダンスショーは規模が大きくて想像しているよりも凄く、
参加してよかったです。
I chose this show without dining options considering the infection aspect. Also, since it has a roof, it seemed fine even if it rains. It takes just under an hour from Waikiki, but it's worth the trip. I don't understand much English, but I got the general idea. Moreover, it was incredibly impressive!! It was the best show I've seen so far. I was at the very end of the front row, but the production was designed to be easy to see even from the side, so it wasn't a problem. I definitely want to participate again next time.
感染面を考え、飲食を伴わないこちらのショーを選びました。また、屋根もあるため雨が降っても大丈夫そうなので選びました。
ワイキキからは1時間弱かかりますが、行く価値ありです。英語はあまり分かりませんが、大体内容はわかりました。しかも、ものすごく見応えあり!! 今までのショーで1番でした。
最前列の1番端でしたが、端でも見やすい演出になっているので問題ありませんでした。
次回も、またぜひ参加したいです。
The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.
Aloha Kris! We're glad that you had a great experience at the luau and had fun. Mahalo for this review, we greatly appreciate it! Hopefully you'd visit us again. Mahalo nui loa!
Beautiful space, beautiful people. You can tell that those who work there love their jobs. Great experience and I would definitely go back! Great to learn about all the cultures and the luau topped off a perfect day
We learned a lot about the Polynesian culture through the activities and demonstrations. Dinner was okay. But the breath of life show after was fantastic.
One of the most memorable things we have ever experienced. I genuinely felt like family! We will recommend this to everyone we know!
We loved the whole day. A great experience learning about all the different cultures. We loved the show at night. Very talented young people. What a great program you have for young people to go to university
The PCC was a wonderful place to spend a day. We felt welcome and valued by everyone. The activities and shows were really fun and entertaining, and the place is beautifully maintained.
Our tour operators were also very good. There was a guide waiting at the pickup location, helping everyone to sign in and get ready for the bus. While we were enroute, the guide was entertaining and helped the time pass quickly. Then at the end of the day, the bus was right there where we were told it would be, and the trip home was smooth.
This was one of our best experiences on Oahu. The "islands" were informative and interesting. We had an enjoyable time. Not so crazy about Pounder's Restaurant but the evening buffet was terrific. The evening show was amazing. We would do this again.
Very interactive day! My kids loved to get to canoe to the next island, and the show was unlike any other show I have seen!
You will learn sooo much about the history of Hawaii and all the slands that surround it!
It was great. However it rained all day. We were not prepared for this weather. The rain ponchos they sell were good so that we can walk around to the different islands. The islanders performers were authentic and beautiful. We learned so many things. In general it was a wonderful time experience! The Buffett Had a lot of variety and good service. The quality of the food was ok. Not great. The Ha show was outstanding!!!
A wonderful day of activities,information and performances, from the moment we were picked up by Roberts Tours to the moment they brought us home we were informed and entertained, we purchased the buffet and Ha: Breath of life package, highly recommend, amazing food and the most amazing, spectacular finale performance, we were left speechless
We had such an extraordinary experience in the Polynesian Culture Center. We enjoyed the live performances, learned the history and culture of various polynesian groups, and enjoyed the food! Had a wonderful day!
The canoe ride was so fun!!! The luau did not have alcoholic bevs tho :(
Disappointed that the falls was not flowing, but the Luau was great. Learning about the hawaiian culture was interesting. The food was delicious and plentiful. The show was fabulous. You will not be disappointed.
We had a great time, celebrated our anniversary! The family that hosted the luau was wonderful and we were impressed with every aspect of the luau. If you are staying on Waikiki beach, be prepared for an hour drive to get there. We didn’t account for that length of time so we didn’t get to appreciate the hiking available beforehand.
The host was funny and great knowledge about his own culture and traditions. It’s our first time so I wouldn’t be able to compare with other Luau. The show was about the different Polynesian cultures dance so just not only about the fire dance that gets everyone excited. It shows you the dance and the cultures. The Waimea fall is not flowing right now secondary the drought, ( last time occurred in 1992) so my family was little disappointed that couldn’t see the fall and swim in the pond. Look at bright side, this doesn’t happen all the time and I got to see a waterfall without water. Wished there was some warning ahead and I would have planned differently. Otherwise it was still a nice trail for family to walk.
My whole family loved this luau! The fact that it also includes entry to the park is a steal; it's beautiful! Our host was very funny and personable. I loved that they have cultural activities like showing the people attending the luau how to open coconuts, and weave leaves into a headband. The food was good, and the host was giving special shoutouts to people who were celebrating things like anniversaries, graduations, etc. The people who were doing the dances did great! Even my sister that's 3 years old was super entertained. You really get a family feel at this luau; shoutout to the 9-year old kid who was doing some fire dancing as well! It was awesome and I definitely prefer giving my money here than some random resort doing shows. The vibe is 10/10!
This was an all day tour and we’ll worth doing the deluxe package. Wes was our driver. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Even though it rained we still got to see sights from the bus! Polynesian culture center was outstanding. I thought I was getting luau but it was a buffet. But the Breath of Life show was worth the whole day!! Outstanding!!!! Highly recommend adding this to your package!
LOVED our experience. Everything was amazing! Due to no rainfall/drought the waterfall wasn’t flowing but the views were still Beautiful!
This was our first trip to Hawaii. This is something everyone should experience during their visit.
A cultural and historical event that any and every visitor to Hawaii should experience at least once. Not only is it a smooth operating show, but they did an outstanding job of explaining the historical reasoning behind everything.
The food was great and the hospitality was first class. Their location on the north side of the island was amazing and a counterpoint to the the South side. There's also the added benefit of being just down the road from famous Sunset Beach!
We loved the PCC and all it offered. I still admit the Samoa man Cap, is still my favorite, even after 15 years, he's still there and such a delight. We loved the origami birds also in Samoa. So much to see and enjoy. We love you!!!
The whole tour was fantastic. My family and I had a wonderful time. Seeing the different cultures and stile of living and activities was astounding. The shows that they put on in each island was energetic and very informative. We also watched the final show the Breath of Life. Don’t want to spoil it so you have to come and see it in person. Part of our tour was the food that was included in our purchase. The food was phenomenal. So many different type of food from different cultures. Again you must come and experience it yourself. A five star in my books.
The Luau was perfect from beginning to end. It was organized and the staff was very friendly. Was great to see the dancers were also the greeters, wait staff and doing the demonstrations as well. The Host was very entertaining. Loved how friendly everyone was. The food was wonderful. Would definitely recommend as the Luau to attend.
The tour bus driver was considerate and was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian history. Took the time to ensure evryo was on the bus and answered all our questions. The island tour was great and PCC was awesome as well. I recommend anyone to take the combo tour.
Better than expected.
We were initially planning on arriving late or going to other activities in between. The place has so much to offer that if we had more time then we would spent another day.
Such an amazing experience if you come to Hawaii you have to go to Toa luau ! They really treat you like family, and the dancing and the story telling about the Polynesian culture is just a amazing beautiful experience. Me and my friends had such a great time !
