オアフ島1日周遊観光 ポリネシアカルチャーセンターとハワイ最大のダンスショー+ハレイワタウン+この木なんの木+ドールプランテーション

I can't get around everything at Aldi. オールディでも回り切れない

Reviewed by: にゃんこ

The half-day tour of Oahu felt really like an add-on. It was disappointing that we spent quite a bit of time stopping at a jewelry store that wasn't mentioned in the itinerary. I thought the students at the Polynesian Cultural Center were truly dedicated and wonderful. The show was also impressive.

オアフ島半日観光は、本当におまけ的な感じでした。途中記載になかった宝石屋さんに寄って、結構時間を割いていたのは残念です。ポリネシア文化センターは学生さんが本当に皆、一生懸命で素晴らしいと思いました。ショーも圧巻でした。

  • 色々と見どころ満載でした

I was able to use my time efficiently. 時間を無駄なく使えた

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

The morning was really great. We were able to visit places that are only accessible by car. Above all, the guide was entertaining.

I think it wasn't necessary to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center in the afternoon. I especially think it's better not to take the shuttle bus that departs from the cultural center. Until then, it was fun. I couldn't enjoy the evening show because of that shuttle bus. I think the show itself was good.

午前中は本当に良かった。車じゃないと行けないところを回れた。何より、ガイドさんが面白かった。

午後のポルネシアン文化センターは行かなくても良かったと思う。特に文化センターから出ているシャトルバスに乗らない方がいいと思う。それまでは、楽しかった。夜のショーの間もそのシャトルバスのせいで楽しめなかった。ショー自体はいいと思う。

Every time it gets better, and I've been able to create wonderful memories!
However, the photos are way too expensive!!! I want them for the memories... but they're so high-priced!! Why???
If it weren't for that, it would be a perfect score.

Thanks Jason for making our day a memorable one. The places we visited, the spots we stopped at and the information imparted by you was great.
The Polynesian Cultural Centre was worth this visit and more as we couldn't fit everything into 1/2 day. The students from the university were very grateful to their visitors but we were grateful to them for sharing their various cultures with us.
Dinner was great and the Breath of life show was superb.

We visited on our honeymoon.
In the morning, we toured selected spots on the island with a fun guide, allowing us to see various aspects of Oahu.
At a shopping center along the way, we were able to see many beautiful Hawaiian jewelry pieces, which made my wife very happy.
The Polynesian Cultural Center offered various shows and experiences, and we enjoyed learning about the culture.
The evening show was spectacular.
This is definitely a place we want to visit again when we come back to Hawaii.

ハネムーンで訪れました。

途中のショッピングセンターでは素敵なハワイジュエリーなどもたくさん見る事が出来、嫁が喜んでいました。

The best of tour plusses without the negatives. You spend most of your time at the location you choose and doing the activity you choose. Justin was very knowledgeable and personable. He let us choose our activity on site and even let people customize it by picking 2 morning activites and no afternoon ones. It was awesome.

Big disappointment

Reviewed by: cueno

Driver only spoke of food! Then it was not very clear on what was included so we missed the food trucks and NO lunch (after all talk and no food).

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Ms Cueno, we are very sorry to hear that the driver was not clear about things an only talked about food.
We will definitely talk to him about it.
Just to be clear, the tour package you bought included the kayak plus the admission to the falls park, but did not include a free lunch on us.
Some of the other customers use only one activity and have lunch on us -in lieu- of the second activity . Is this where the confusion started?
Our manager will call you to clarify everything with you.
Much aloha

The Surf Bus

It was great, i got picked up and he drove out to the northshore, showed us around the town and then the activities started. He was very available to pickup after each activity and drop you off where you wanted to go. Waterfall, snorkeling, shrimp truck, beach time & stand up paddle board, it was great. There are other activities to pick from. He even stopped because he saw a sea turtle was sitting on the beach, so we could see it and take pics, it was great!

Beyond my imagination! 想像以上!

Reviewed by: sato

I had a very enjoyable day. The bus guide, who claimed to be from Yoshimoto, kept the atmosphere lively with laughter throughout the ride. The guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center was also a very cheerful and kind young man. He efficiently guided us to the showtimes, allowing us to explore the vast grounds with satisfaction. For dinner, we enjoyed a Hawaiian show while wearing beautiful flower leis.

The highlight was definitely the evening show. We had front-row seats! The two main performers were stunningly attractive. You could feel the intensity of the actors' sweat and breathing, making it very powerful. The fire show was particularly impressive; it felt like they were putting their lives on the line.

After the performance, the actors came over to shake hands, which was truly moving. After that, we returned to the bus with plenty of time to spare before departure. However, it seemed like the return bus was going quite fast, as I don't think anyone was sleeping.

とても楽しい1日でした。
バスのガイドさんは、自称吉本の⚪️⚪️さんというだけあって笑いの絶えない車内でした。
ボリネシア文化センターのガイドの方もとても明るく親切な青年でした。的確にショーの時間に案内してくれて効率よく広大な園内を回れて満足しました。ディナーは、生花の素敵なレイをかけていただきハワイアンショーを見ながら楽しめました。
特に圧巻は、夜のショー。なんと席は最前列。主役の2人は、美男美女。役者さんの汗や息づかいまで感じられて迫力満点。特に火のショーは、もうそこまでしなくてもと思うほど命張ってました。
そして、なんと終演後役者さんの方から握手してきてくれて感動物でした。それからバスに戻っても時間的には余裕で出発でした。しかし、帰りのバスは、かなりスピードが出てるようで眠ってる人は、いなかったように思いました。

Waikiki Beach, hotel pickup departure, next stop Hanauma Bay "The view of the bay from above is amazing!" Then to Moanalua Gardens "It was a breathtaking experience in nature, famous for the tree from the song 'What Tree is This?'" We visited Waimanalo Shopping Center and Dole Plantation "The pineapple soft serve was delicious." We went in the order of Haleiwa and arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1 PM "It was a fantastic bus drive around half of Oahu Island, enjoying the stunning views for about three hours, the best way to learn about Oahu!"

After arriving, we had lunch, and there were various cultural experiences available in the park, all fresh and enjoyable. Canoe show "We watched many Hawaiian dances." Dinner "Steak, fruits, and dessert were delicious." The night show, “‘Ha’ Breath of Life,” which boasts the largest scale in Hawaii, featured over 100 staff performing passionately for nearly two hours. It showcased the growth of a life born on the island into a fine young man who would govern the island and protect its people, presented through songs and dances! The fire dance show in the second half was a powerful light show that you absolutely cannot see anywhere else. It was the best!

Spending time in the park until 9:30 PM, I felt like I truly experienced Hawaii and became one with the locals! It was a fulfilling tour. Thank you to all the cast members; I was moved to tears and deeply grateful.

Since I had already heard the story in Japanese from our guide during the bus drive, even though I didn't understand the language, I was able to enjoy the show smoothly and with even more intensity. Thank you to our wonderful guide; I will come back again!

ワイキキビ-チ、ホテルお迎え出発、次がハナウマ湾「上空から見る湾の景色最高!」、モアナルアガ-デン「この木なんの木♪でおなじみの大自然を満喫圧巻でした」ワイマナロショッピングセンター、ド-ルプランテ-ション「パイナップルソフトが美味しかったです」ハレイワの順番で回って、午後1時頃にポリネシアカルチャーセンターに到着「約3時間からの絶景を見ながらのオハフ島約半周,ワイキキの反対側までバスドライブでしたオアフ島を知るには最高です!」
到着後は、ランチ、園内では様々な民族の体験ができどれもが新鮮で楽しむことができました。カヌーショー「沢山のハワイの踊りを観覧」 デイナー「ステーキ,果物,デザート,美味しかったです」ハワイ最大規模を誇る“‘ハァ’ブレス・オブ・ライフ”ナイトショー「100人以上のスタッフが2時間近くに渡り熱演、島で生れた一つの命が格闘の渦中立派な青年へと成長、軈て島を治め島民を守って行く姿を舞台で、歌や踊りで披露!特に後半のファイヤーダンスショーは他では絶対に見られない迫力のライトショー」最高でした!。
夜9時半まで園内で過ごした自分は、これこそ誇れるハワイなり!と島民に成りきった思いでの大満喫出来たツアーでした♡キャストの皆さん有難う、涙と感激有難う御座いました♡。
夜のショーは、あらかじめガイドさんから日本語でバスドライブ中ストーリーを一通り聞いていた為、言語はわからずともスムーズに一層迫力を受け楽しむことができました。素敵なガイドさん有難う、又お邪魔しまーす♡。
