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

The best thing we did in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Maung

Anyone who plans to visit Hawaii must see the show- Breath of life. It’s one hr thirty minutes long but it’s worth every minute of it.

The Gateaway buffet has plenty of dishes to offer and we had like 2:30hr to savor the food. My favorite was Tuna Sashimi, cut fresh from a fish on display. Every station has four different varieties of dish.

The villages are fantastic. Each one is unique in terms of activities and entertainment. Staff were mainly Uni students.

I have 5 star rating to PCC.

CLIMB Works Keana Farms - Oahu Zipline Tour with 8 Lines, ATV Ride, Rappel, Skybridge Course

Fantastic zip line adventure

Reviewed by: Kevin Malcomson

This was well worth it!! The staff is excellent from the time you check in to the 3 guides that are with you zip lining to check out if you decide to get the pictures! We were with a great group of people and that made it more fun as you can get to know everyone in your group as it takes about 3 hrs to complete and there is time between each zip line. This was the best thing we did of all the activities myself and 2 kids (ages 15 and 18) did for the 6 days we were here! Highly recommend doing this if you want to zip line. Another thing that is regally nice is if you are staying in Waikīkī you get to drive to the other side of the island and if you have a rental car you get to see other parts of the island that are not full of tourist.

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

It is like entering the Disneyland of Polynesian culture!

Reviewed by: Dee

Amazing and warm welcoming staff on every corner; the performances are top notch, we were entertained to a great FINALE show, Buffet Dinner was overwhelming!

We loved and enjoyed learning a lot of things about the Polynesian culture! All the performances were just by fat the best. I love the activities in each country that you can participate in, hands on and fun too!

My son is a typical “everything boring” esp by the wnd of the day, but as soon as the lights went off for the “HA” show he was mesmerized and totally enjoyed it.

We wanted to experience the LUAU dinner but I think we did not look through good enough with the package we bought. Buffet Dinner was not bad at all…just missed seeing a traditional lu’au

Next time!

Badass

I loved it, if you don't mind getting alittle dirty and riding an ATV around a beautiful farm along the ocean! I could have stayed there all day playing on those ATVs honestly, our guide Micky was laid back and cool, it was good vibes all around. The only thing I wished was to be able to do some donuts in the mud highly recommend!

Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours

Wouldn’t do it again

Reviewed by: KC Clark

I recently went Oahu North Shore Beach Horseback Riding Experience - Daytime Tours / Standard Daytime Horseback Rides and unfortunately, it was not well organized. The whole experience seemed uncoordinated, and the pictures taken were unusable due to the way we were positioned.

I gave them 3 stars mainly because the two ladies we interacted with were nice enough, and the horses were well-behaved. However, the walk itself was not very scenic, and overall, it was a disappointing experience. I wouldn't do it again.

A calm horse and the best horseback riding experience. 穏やかなお馬さんと最高の乗馬体験

Reviewed by: senko

My first horseback riding experience in Hawaii at Gunstock Ranch became a wonderful memory! The instructors were kind and attentive. (I can't speak English, but I managed just fine!) The horses were gentle and smart, making it easy for beginners like me to ride comfortably. You can feel the richness of the animals living freely on the vast land.

Riding the horses while enjoying the beautiful natural scenery of Hawaii was a fantastic activity!

It took just under two hours to get to Gunstock Ranch by the Bus, but the changing scenery made the time fly by. I’ve decided that the next time I go to Hawaii, I will definitely go horseback riding at Gunstock Ranch again!

ハワイで初めての乗馬体験がガンストックランチでとてもいい思い出になりました!
インストラクターの方達も優しく丁寧に対応してくださいます。(私は英語ができませんが、なんとかなりました!)
お馬さんたちも穏やかで、賢くて乗馬初心者でも安心して乗ることができました。広大な土地にのびのびと生活する動物たちの豊かさを感じれます。
お馬さんに乗ってハワイの大自然の景色を堪能できるとても良いアクティビティでした!

ガンストックランチまでは、the Busで2時間弱でしたが移り変わる景色であっという間でした。
また、ハワイに行った際にはガンストックランチで乗馬をすると決めました!

Horseback riding was absolutely amazing, but... 乗馬は最高過ぎたけど…

Reviewed by: ポロ

I booked a shuttle service. Excitedly, I went to the meeting point, but the shuttle didn’t arrive even when the time came. I thought there might be traffic, but I couldn’t get through on the phone, and feeling sad, I returned to the hotel and called again, only to be told that my reservation hadn’t gone through and was scheduled for another day. I was stunned, and I had to quickly come up with other plans for that day, but to be honest, my schedule was disrupted. Since it was rescheduled for another day, my plans for that day changed as well. When I went on the scheduled day, the shuttle didn’t arrive again at the appointed time, and I was astonished. When I called, they hurriedly came after a while. I was exhausted from the morning. They were speaking English fluently, but there wasn’t even a single word of apology.

送迎付きを申し込みました。ウキウキしながら、
待ち合わせの場所にいきました。が時間になっても送迎が来ませんでした。
渋滞しているのかと思いながら、電話も通じなく、悲しくホテルに戻って電話をしなおしたら、予約が取れていなくて、他の日になっていると言われました.(全部英語)
唖然として、その1日は急遽他の事をしましたが、はっきり言って、スケジュールが崩れました。
他の日になってしまった為にその日もスケジュールが変わりました.
又、予定日に行ったら、また予定の時間になっても来なくて、あきれて、電話したらしばらくして慌てて来ました.朝からめちゃくちゃつかれました。英語でベラベラ話してましたが、すいませんの一言もなかったです。

2.5-Hour Haleiwa ATV Tour & Off-Road Small-Group Adventure - Top Rated!

This was an unforgettable experience!

Reviewed by: Sue

Our tour guide Keoki (George) was amazing. He took us throughout the land and showed us all around the area. We didn't know what to expect when we went on this tour and this tour blew our minds. We rode for hours and the scenery was amazing. Keoki went above and beyond and took pictures and videos for us. We learned about the history, plantation and so much more. I love the fact that it's a private tour and only a few people were on the tour.
It made it so much more personal. Thank you Keoki! Looking forward to doing this tour again when we come back to visit.

Best Day Ever!

Reviewed by: Masterson

There was so much to see and do. We thoroughly enjoyed the demonstrations and musical presentations. We learned how to make poi, husk coconuts, and weave palm fronds, among other things. The dinner buffet was the best ever, with so much variety in the wide range of menu items. The theater presentation “The Breath of Life” was outstanding! Kudos to all the young university students who work so hard to provide such a unique cultural experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming. This was our second visit (previous one was in 1986) and we were not disappointed. We would return again in a heartbeat!

My friend really enjoyed it, so we decided to join the tour with transportation included. Since my friend came before the pandemic, it seems that some things have changed. We spoke with a guide who was wearing a badge from Japan and got an explanation, and we toured the center with the guided option. Thanks to the guide's arrangements, we were able to see almost everything in the park, and it was a fulfilling day. My friend said it was even better than the last time they visited, and we were able to have various experiences!
