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>

Come visit at least once! ❣️ 1度はおいでよ❣️

Reviewed by: ハジメ、うーちゃん

After getting off the bus, I wasn't sure what to do, but when I showed the voucher on my smartphone at the ticket center, they issued me a paper ticket✋. This took away half of my anxiety, and the other half was about finding the Japanese guide. I managed to find where the guide was, and I met a wonderful volunteer guide (NENE), and it was amazing!!

Her service and hospitality were top-notch (laughs)👍. I want to come back and see her again!

Thank you, Nene-chan. See you again soon! 🤗👍

バスを降りてからとりあえずどうすれば良いか分からず、スマホのバウチャーをチケットセンターに見せると、紙のチケットを発行してくれました✋
これで不安は半分無くなりまして、あと半分は日本語ガイドさんを探すこと。何とかガイドさんが居る場所を見つけて、素晴らしボランティアガイドさん(NENEさん)に巡りあって、最高でしたー!!
気付いも、接客も営業も(笑)最高👍
また会いに着たくなりました!

ありがとう、ねねちゃん。またねー🤗👍

Family trip for a family of nine (infants are free, elementary school students are half price) canoe tour and cultural experience. 一家9人家族旅行(幼児は無料小学生は半額)カヌーツアー・文化体験

Reviewed by: YOU

I wanted my grandchildren to experience various activities at the Polynesian Cultural Center, so we went as a family of nine, including my four grandchildren (ages 0, 2, 10, and 11). Children aged 0 and 2 are free, and those aged 10 and 11 get half price. Other tours don’t offer such benefits, so we were able to participate at a reasonable cost. We had a great time exploring the six villages and experiencing Polynesian culture, as well as enjoying a canoe tour.

Since very little Japanese was spoken, it was difficult to understand how to use the voucher for entry and the announcements regarding pickup times and locations. Japanese brochures are available at the entrance.

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターで子どもたちに色々と体験させたいと思い、孫4人(0歳2歳10歳11歳)を含め一家9人で行きました。0歳2歳は無料、10歳11歳は半額。他のツアーではこのような特典がないので、リーズナブルに参加することができました。6つ村を巡ってポリネシア文化体験、カヌーツアーと楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
日本語がほとんど通じなかったので、バウチャーを使っての入園の仕方や迎えの時間と場所のアナウンスが分かりにくかったです。

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

The best of the best!

Reviewed by: Claudia Araceli Arias

We did several activities in Hawaii but if I had to choose one as my favorite, it would be this one. You get to do a little bit of everything, it’s like the whole Hawaii experience. This is great family tour. I loved it so much! Plus the buffet dinner is included which was amazing! The night show for me was the best part. I can’t describe how much I loved it!

Tips and suggestions

Wear comfy shoes, wear a light sweater and take some sunglasses!

  • With the cast!

  • The buffet was so good!

  • Lovely day!

  • My girls doing crafts.

  • The show!

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!

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!

Must try

Reviewed by: Klaage

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?

Reviewed by: Mayra

We enjoyed learning about the different cultures. The best one was Samoa. The chief had us laughing the entire time. We even bought his paintings afterwards and he signed them. The buffet dinner was amazing. I recommend getting a tour guide as they can give you more information and take you through all the villages quicker.

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。

This was my first luau and I really didn't know what to expect. I was greatly impressed with the quality of the program, the enthusiasm of the performers and the outstanding cuisine we enjoyed for the meal. The evening with the Toa Luau group was an unforgettable highlight to our visit to Hawaii. In addition to the luau, we had the opportunity to hike to the waterfall while enjoying the beauty of the botanical garden. As I said, the whole experience was unforgettable.
