乗馬体験(0.5~2時間) 2歳から参加OKの子供向けコースやサンセット、貸切ランチ付きなど選べるコースで広大な牧場を満喫!<ガンストック牧場/現地集合>

Beginner horseback riding course for first-timers. 初めての方のための初心者乗馬コース

Reviewed by: YK

This is perfect for those riding a horse for the first time. Children as young as two can ride, so I think it's safe for small kids. The horses are all gentle, but if you are experienced, it might feel a bit lacking.

初めて馬を乗る方にはピッタリです。2歳から乗れるし、小さい子供も心配ないと思います。ことなしい馬ばかりで、もし経験者であれば少し物足りないかもです。

The horse is too cute! お馬さん可愛すぎる

Reviewed by: まりあ

We used this service for our family's first trip to Hawaii. We enjoyed a full hour of horseback riding, and the location was amazing. The horses were well-behaved, with gentle eyes that were just too cute! It was a sunny day, but there were plenty of shaded areas, so it wasn't as hot as I expected, and we had a great time! I don't understand English at all, but they showed us a Japanese version of the explanation video, which made me feel at ease. I definitely recommend this experience!

家族で初めてのハワイ旅行で利用しました。
1時間たっぷり乗馬してロケーションは最高。お馬さんはいい子で優しい瞳で可愛いすぎた!

Immersive Luau Experience with Dinner, Fireknife & Hands-On Cultural Activities

Simply the Best

Reviewed by: Parks Family

Tonight we went to an immersive and interactive luau -it was simply the best and I would highly recommend!

We all had such a great time - we were welcomed like family! We loved learning to drum, spin fire “knives”, wrap fish for cooking, bury the fish to cook on the hot rocks, have a traditional kava ceremony, and weave tea leaves to make bracelets, leis, etc. We then had a catered kalua pork dinner and got to eat the fish we wrapped and cooked. This was so much better than the commercialized luaus we have attended before! If you want a true family experience this is for you. If you want the commercialized cocktail filled experience this isn’t it!

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Great experience

Reviewed by: Lilan

We only bought the entrance tickets and drove ourselves to the Polynesian Center. The journey there was also a wonderful experience—we really enjoyed the views and the local residents. The center was very beautiful, and there were also lovely stalls where you could buy souvenirs. The staff was very hospitable. We enjoyed the many presentations from different islands. We enjoyed the welcome show. The final show was amazing, as was the buffet. Our compliments!
Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

Fantastisk oplevelse. Vi prøvede også for 18 år siden. Grunden til kun 4 stjerner er, at der er for kort tid til at opleve det hele. Vi kom sent derop pga vejarbejde (men havde en fantastisk chauffør), så show på vandet er godt igang og alle pladser optaget.
Der var flere rækker tomme sæder ved det store aftenshow. Hvorfor ikke lade andre sidde der, så de ser bedre?

ポリネシアカルチャーセンター入園チケット <送迎選択可>

Impressive variety of experiences. 体験数の豊富さに圧巻

Reviewed by: Emi

I'm glad I went!
Once you buy a ticket, you can enter for three days!
Indeed, with such a wealth of experiences, it seems like it would take three days to fully enjoy everything.
Understanding the schedules for experiences and shows can be overwhelming for first-timers, so I recommend paying the additional fee for a guide; otherwise, it would be hard to enjoy efficiently and you might feel lost! I definitely recommend getting a guide!

The staff is mostly university students from the adjacent campus, creating a lively and pleasant atmosphere.
The guide who assisted us was great at explaining in Japanese, and thanks to them, we had a fantastic time! ✨

All the shows and experiences were fun!
With a ticket, you can enjoy everything for free except for meals and the fire show.
If you have kids, I think it's an incredibly fun place.

It was such a great place that I would want to visit for three days!

行ってよかった!
1回チケットを買ったら3日入れるらしい!
たしかに豊富な体験数なので、全制覇は3日かかりそう。
体験やショーのプログラム時間の把握は、豊富すぎて初めての人には厳しいのでガイド追加料金を払って、案内してもらわないと効率よく楽しめないし、わけがわからないと思う!絶対ガイドをつけることをおすすめ!

スタッフは隣接の大学生が8割とのことで、活気があって良い雰囲気だった。
ガイドをしてくれた方も日本語での説明が上手で、彼らのおかげで相当楽しめた✨

ショーも、体験も全部楽しかった!
チケットがあれば、食事とファイヤーショー意外無料で楽しめます。
子供がいたら、楽しすぎる場所だと思う。
