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

A great Hawaiin experience.

Reviewed by: Laura C

I thought the center was enjoyable for the whole family. I definitely recommend the all day "Ambassador" package. It was great having a tour guide to take us to each village to ensure we didn't miss anything and arrived just in time to have perfect seating without having to wait. Our guide (Darrin from New Zealand) took our kids to do activities while my husband and I watched several pre-shows in peace and than he brought the kids to see the main show in each village. The dancing parade on canoes is a must see along with the Samoa village. My guide recommended the Prime Rib buffet dinner instead of the Luau Buffet. He said the food was much better, it was more quiet to have a break, and the show was just a mini pre-show to the one we were going to see at 7:30. I am definitely glad we did that and have to agree with him. The night show was spectacular and if you get the Ambassador package you get preferred sitting and ice cream during the show. Don't waste your money on the Super Ambass

North Shore Private Romantic Horseback Riding Tour with Lunch at Gunstock Ranch

Extremely Enjoyable!

Reviewed by: D. Peters

I booked the lunch ride for myself and Daughter in June of 2007. I have to commend the Gunstock Ranch, we had such a wonderful time with our 2 tour guides and saw the beautiful sights of Oahu from the bottom to the top. Were we found seashells on the very top of the mountain and mongoose along the path to get there. The Lunch and the company the tour forward will last us forever until we can get back again to do it all over, I would not hesitate to recommend this extremely enjoyable activity. If you ever need a recommendation please let me know.

Consider the "Alii" Twilight

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

Made reservations for the Twilight "Ambassador" package and the only difference I noticed between the "Ambassador" and the "Alii" package was probably just the seating assignment at the show, souveniers, and free ice cream desert during the shows intermission. Had a good time but I think the "Alii" package would have been a much better value considering there wasn't much of a difference between the two packages and I think I would have seen a much better overall view of the show. I wasn't able to see much on the other side of the stage because I was sitting to close to it.

Wonderful entertainment

Reviewed by: Balwiindar

I loved the polynesian cultural center. The luau, night show and the overall cultural center were amazing. It was great fun, but I would recommend the whole day activity because you need that much time to visit all the different islands and their shows at the center. This was my second time visiting the center and I would recommend it to anybody.

Our family participated with three children. It was amazing to see sharks up close and so safely. The captain was also very kind. I absolutely recommend this as a must-do activity in Hawaii. We also purchased a DVD, which allowed us to enjoy the beauty and excitement of the sharks again at home.

私たち家族子供と3人で参加しました。サメがあんなに安全に近くで見れるなんて感動です。キャプテンもとても親切でした。自慢できるハワイのアクティビティーとして絶対おすすめです。DVDも購入し、これまた自宅でも再度サメの美しさと迫力をエンジョイしました。

The dive was awesome. We had to reschedule due to bad weather, but I didn't mind because I appreciated the captain canceling the trip instead of taking me out for a bad trip. The experience was great, it made my time in Hawaii totally worth it. I would recommend this trip and this group to everyone. It's the best trip you can go on in the islands.

Hawaii Shark Encounters - North Shore Shark Cage Diving Tour from Haleiwa

DO THIS TOUR!

Reviewed by: UnderwaterAdventurer

It is unfortunate that sharks have gotten the label of being mindless eating machines that attack anything that twitches in the water. I was able to experience first hand just how wrong this stereotype actually is.

The moment we arrived, sharks began to make there way to us. The regulars, the Sandbar Sharks, are attracted to the sound of the boat engine and quickly swam up to say hi!, but then an unexpected visitor decided to drop by. My jaw literally dropped when I saw a HUGE tiger shark circling the boat. Then another came by...then ANOTHER! We were lucky since Tiger Sharks are fairly rare.

As the first four made there way into the shark cage, the remaining four, including me, waited on board and watched the sharks from the surface. These creatures just circled the cage and boat and at times a Tiger Shark would pop his head out of the water to munch on some fish. This shark could have easily bitten the crew member, but all he (she?) did was nibble and go.

If anything, it

Reviewed by: Garry & Tracey

Wow, wow and wow!!!! This was a truely amazing experience. To be that close to sharks in the water, to look them in the eye and feel their distain...... what a feeling. For anyone thinking of doing this trip, I seriously recommend doing the 7am dive, especially if you're going while the Tradewinds are still blowing. It was a little rough when we were out there and it would have been much worse later in the day. Also, if you've never snorkelled before, buy yourself a mask and practice for a couple of days beforehand, its not at easy as it looks. You'll get much more out of it if you know what you're doing with your mask and snorkel.

Date of participation: March 19, 2007 (Monday). We participated as a couple. Gunstock Ranch is about an hour and a half by car from Waikiki, located beyond the Polynesian Cultural Center. The area is lush and green, quite different from the rocky terrain of the Big Island, making it suitable for horseback riding. We gathered at 8:30 in the morning. It was just the two of us participating. After the rain, the greenery and rainbow were beautiful. We signed some documents, learned the basics of horseback riding, and mounted our horses. We proceeded with three horses into the greenery. Along the way, the female guide asked, "RUN?" and when I answered "YES," we started to gallop. The horse I rode was well-trained and very responsive. Since it was a horse that wanted to run, I hardly had to kick it at all. We mostly galloped except for the climbs and descents to the hill and some slippery red dirt areas. The trees on both sides formed an arch, and we moved through it at a comfortable speed. The guide picked guava fruit for us, which was sour and delicious. When we reached the top of the hill, we had a 360-degree view. We could see the ocean as well. The wind felt nice, and the view was amazing. The hour flew by. It was a lot of fun.
P.S. To Alan1: Please create a farm stay tour at this ranch.

参加日: 2007/03/19(月) 夫婦2人で参加しました。
ガンストック牧場はワイキキから車で約1時間半、ポリネシアカルチュアルセンターの先にあります。緑が一面に広がっていて、ハワイ島のゴツゴツした地面とは違い、乗馬に適していました。朝、8時半に集合。参加は私たち夫婦2人のみ。雨上がりで緑と虹がとてもきれいです。書類にサインをし、乗馬の基本を教えてもらい騎乗。緑の中へ3頭で進んでいきます。途中、女性のガイドさんから「RUN?」と言われたので「YES」と答えると駆け足開始。乗った馬は良く調教されていてとてもよく言うことを聞きます。走りたがりの馬だったのでほとんど蹴らずにすみました。丘までの上り下りや、赤土むき出しで滑りやすい場所以外はほとんど駆け足です。両側の木がアーチになっていて、その下を心地よいスピードで進みます。ガイドさんがグァバの実を採ってくれます。すっぱくておいしい。丘のてっぺんに上ると、そこからは360度の視界が開けます。海も見えます。風も気持ちよく最高の眺めです。あっという間の1時間でした。とても楽しかったです。
追伸:Alan1ちゃんへ この牧場のファームスティツアーをぜひ作ってください。

Unexpected joy 意外な喜び

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I often go to Hawaii, so I've participated in whale and dolphin cruises many times, but I had been curious about it for a while, so this time I tried a shark tour for the first time.

I definitely got seasick. Since I'm not very good on boats, I think it's better for those who are worried to bring motion sickness medication.

It seems that it's still not very popular among Japanese people, but the Americans who participated with me were incredibly excited. I wonder if they have a lot of adrenaline?

When you think of sharks, you might have a scary impression, but the sharks I saw in the North were beautiful, and I couldn't help but be captivated by their swimming.

It seems that the number of sharks you can see varies by day, but there are almost no days when you can't see any. I recommend planning a full day in the North Haleiwa area with a rental car and allocating some free time for the shark tour.

It feels a bit wasteful to go all that way just for that, but I think it's worth participating at least once.

ハワイには良く行くので、クジラやイルカのクルーズは何度も参加してますが、前から気になっていたので、今回はじめてシャークツアーに挑戦してきました。

たしかに酔いました。
もともと船に強くないので、心配な人は酔い止めの薬を持っていったほうが良いと思いました。

日本人にはまだまだ人気が弱いらしいですが、一緒に参加したアメリカ人たちのハシャギようと言ったらありません。彼らは血の気が多いのかな??

サメと言うと怖い印象がありますが、ノースの海で見たハワイのサメは美しく、泳ぐ姿はなぜか見とれてしまいました。

日によって、会えるサメの数は違うようですが、見れないという日はほとんどないみたいですね。お勧めは、レンタカーなどで終日ノース・ハレイワ方面のプランを立てて、空き時間をサメツアーにあてるという感じですかね?

それだけ行くともったいない気もしますが、一度は参加する価値ありと思います。

When we participated, there weren't that many sharks, but personally, it was very scary. However, I thought it was a rare opportunity to see sharks up close, so it became a good memory. The boat definitely sways a lot, so motion sickness medication is essential.

私たちが参加したときは、そんなにたくさんのサメはいませんでしたが、
個人的にはとても怖かったです。が、あんなに間近でサメを見れることもないと思い、いい思い出になりました。
確かに船はとても揺れるので酔い止めは必須ですね。

If you want to see sharks up close, definitely join! 鮫を真近で見たい人はぜひ参加?!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

We participated as a group of several people, but there were also two other groups with individuals attending alone. Since we booked through this page, there was no transportation provided, so we rented a car to get to the location, while the other groups arrived with transportation included. Although Japanese is not spoken, we managed to communicate through body language. The boat does sway quite a bit, so if you are prone to motion sickness, please make sure to take motion sickness medication before boarding. The area where the sharks are located has truly beautiful waters. You can see many sharks, but ultimately, you can only watch the sharks, so it can get boring after a few minutes. Additionally, some people felt nauseous after getting into the enclosure because it swayed with the waves. If you want to see sharks in a beautiful, clear sea, I definitely recommend participating.

当方は数人のグループで参加しましたが他には1人で参加されている方も2組いらっしゃいました。このページで予約した我々は送迎は無かったのでレンタカーを借りて現地まで行ったのですが、他のグループは送迎付で来ていました。日本語も通じませんがボディランゲージなどで何とか大丈夫でしょう。結構揺れが有るので酔いやすい方は酔い止めを必ず飲んで乗船してください。鮫がいる地点は本当に海が綺麗です。たくさんの鮫を見れますが結局鮫を見るしかないので数分で飽きてきます。しかも柵が波でゆらゆらするので柵に入ってから酔う方もいました。綺麗で透き通る海で鮫を見たい方はぜひ参加を
