Circle Island Sightseeing Tour & Full-Day Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets

Circle Isle tour and Polynesian Cultural Center

Reviewed by: Cheryl Cooke

I was disappointed with the circle Island Tour as it felt rushed and we only had a half hour at the Dole Plantation which was sufficient only to get something to eat very quickly and see nothing else. The Polynesian Cultural Center was marvelous, great luau, great show. Our driver was a very sweet man but tended to preach and too frequently interspersed his own Christian beliefs. He also mentioned, way too often, the High Cost of Living and the low wages. He is very knowledgeable with regard to the price of real estate on the island, about which I really have no interest.

The fire show was spectacular. ファイヤーショーが圧巻でした

Reviewed by: ﾐｯﾁｰ

I was disappointed that I couldn't enter Hanauma Bay, which I had been looking forward to (I would have liked more detailed information online indicating that entry might not be possible even on days other than Tuesday). The town on the North Shore felt quite run-down, and others around me also said there wasn't anything particularly impressive. I would have preferred to visit the site of the Pearl Harbor attack, or I had heard from friends that the train at Dole was really nice, so I wished I had more time to ride the train there. The guide was very entertaining (though it was a bit disappointing that there were many advertisements for accessories).

The Polynesian Cultural Center was good. I appreciated how hard the students worked to explain things. I understood the drama-style shows somewhat in English, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if the guide or students had explained a simple story in Japanese beforehand. Since it was outdoors, even at night it felt hot and a bit long. The final fire show was spectacular and very moving.

期待していたハナウマ湾にはいれなくてガッカリでした（ネットの詳細に、火曜日以外でもはいれない可能性がある旨の説明がほしい）、ノースショアのタウンはさびれた町というかんじで格別感動するところはないと周りの人達も言っていた、それよりも、真珠湾攻撃の場所を見学したかった、又はドールの汽車がとてもいいと友達からきいていたので、ドールで汽車に乗る時間がほしかった。ガイドさんはとても面白い方でした（アクセサリーの宣伝が多いのがちょっと残念でしたが）
ポリネシア文化センターは良かった。学生さんたちがとても一生懸命説明してくれるのが好感もてた。ドラマ仕立てのショーはすべて英語で何となくわかったが、事前に簡単なストーリーを日本語でガイドさん又は学生さんが説明してくれてばもっと楽しめたと思う、野外なので、夜といえども暑くてちょっと長く感じた。最後のファイヤーショーは圧巻でとても感動した。

Morning sightseeing might not be necessary. 午前中の観光は、不要かも

Reviewed by: ひかママ

Throughout the afternoon, we went around to various places, and while the guide was very diligent in providing information, we only spent about 10 to 15 minutes at each location. If you need to use the restroom, that time is quickly up. When you have kids with you, it’s hard to move around, so there were times we didn’t get off the bus. I think it might be better to focus on fewer points of interest. The jewelry shop might not be necessary. The Polynesian Cultural Center is sufficient to visit in the afternoon. The buffet for lunch and dinner has almost the same offerings, so one visit is enough. They sell a variety of food. The last show ends at 9 PM, so it gets late, but the show was wonderful.

午後中、あちこち回るんですが、ガイドさんは一生懸命案内してくださるけど、一箇所10分とか15分とか、トイレ行ったら終わり。子供連れてると動けないので、降りなかった時も。ちょっと、ポイントを絞っても良いかと思います。ジュエリーショップは、不要かな。ポリネシア文化センターは、午後からで十分。ビュッフェは夜と昼、ほぼ同じ中身ですから、どちらか一回で良いと思います。何でも食べるもの売ってます。最後のショーが終わると21時なので、夜遅くなるけど、ショーは素晴らしかったです。

The guide was really great. At first, the makeup was so impressive that the kids were surprised, but thinking of it as a way to entertain the participants, it was a very service-oriented approach.

I was a bit surprised to receive sales at the black coral store, but I’m glad I bought something.

The Tonga zone at the Polynesian Cultural Center was very interesting. Now, I regret not raising my hand...

ガイドさんがとっても良かったです。
最初はすごいメイクだったので、子供もびっくりしていましたが、

ポリネシアン文化センターではトンガのゾーンがとっても面白かったです。

Pretty amazing show

Reviewed by: Sakhom

It's a mixing for all the polynesian shows from each countries to a made-up area where you can see them all at one time. All the shows were well made and prepared, but you have to time and manage the priority to make sure to see them all in one go. It's great for those who never seen them before, but we did see similar from other countries, so it's not that exciting.

We had an amazing time at the Polynesian Cultural Center. We had the BEST tour guide. His name is Chad and he took us around the villages and we were able to see all the shows for the day!! He was super informative about the villages and shared a lot of history about the villages. In the evening we went to the Luau dinner which had great food while watching an amazing show!! After that, we went to the final show which was really the best part of the night!! They put on a beautiful show and highly recommend this to everyone!! This is a must do when coming to Hawaii!!!

Interesting.

Reviewed by: Rosemary

It was fun seeing the different Polynesian cultures, but it was a bit too long of a day. We checked in at noon and didn't leave the grounds until 10:30 at night. You walk around the stores and different villages that are set up, then you have your luau, which is a buffet. That was nice. When you are done with that, you have 2 - 21/2 hours to kill before the show "HA- breath of life" (which was very good). It would have been OK, but the villages closed up, so you had nothing to do before the show. We had an OK time.

Her interesting talks were filled with rich knowledge, and I truly enjoyed it.

At the Polynesian Cultural Center in the second half, I was impressed by the sincere attitude of the student guides. The newlyweds who accompanied us were brought up on stage, and we enjoyed a fantastic performance that brought tears to our eyes.

Thank you very much.

I'm glad I added the island tour! 島内観光を付けて良かった！

Reviewed by: あちゆか

I wanted to see the evening show, so at first, I thought about joining a tour that only included the night show. However, when I searched on Veltra, I found a plan that also included island sightseeing, so I chose that one!

We were able to do sightseeing in the morning, and after arriving at the cultural center, we had a lunch buffet. After that, a Japanese student guide showed us around the center, and we got to ride canoes and have a mini experience of the show and hula dancing… and before we knew it, it was time for dinner and the night show.

It was great to enjoy a full day without wasting any time from morning to night! The night show was good, but the guide during the island sightseeing was truly wonderful, so choosing this plan was definitely the right decision!

Since the island sightseeing was in the morning, the places we visited were limited, but I was very satisfied with the breathtaking views of Hanauma Bay, the "What Tree is That?" tree, Dole's ice cream, and Matsumoto's Shave Ice in Haleiwa! We also enjoyed beautiful scenery from the car windows at various points! I recommend this island sightseeing for first-time visitors to Hawaii and for those who want to make effective use of their time!

夜のショーが見てみたくて、最初は夜のショーだけのツアーに参加しようと思いベルトラさんで探したら、島内観光も付いたプランがあり、そちらにしました！

午前中に観光出来て、文化センターに到着後にランチビュッフェ、その後日本の学生ガイドさんがセンター内を案内してくれてカヌーに乗ったり、ショーやフラダンスプチ体験したり…そしてあっという間に夕食&夜のショーでした。
朝から夜まで、丸一日無駄なく楽しめてとても良かったです！
夜のショーも良かったけど、島内観光の時のガイドさんがとても素晴らしい方だったので、このプランにして大正解でした！
島内観光は、午前中なので立ち寄る場所は、限られますがハナウマ湾の絶景、この木なんの木、ドールのアイス、ハレイワの松本シェイブアイスが堪能出来たので大満足！ポイント、ポイントで車窓から美しい景色も堪能出来ました！
島内観光は初ハワイの方、時間を有効に使いたい方におすすめです！

Reasonable tour リーズナブルなツアー

Reviewed by: ハワイ大好き６０代

The half-day tour of Oahu felt a bit too packed. The break in Haleiwa was particularly too long. It might have been better to stop at the North Shore beach for a photo opportunity instead. The guide's explanations were smooth and not boring, but I felt a sense of discomfort as the content focused too much on selling products. The Polynesian Cultural Center was excellent. The experiences were satisfying, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

オアフ島の半日観光は詰め込み過ぎのきらいあり。
特にハレイワでの休憩は長過ぎる。ノースショアの浜で、降車し撮影タイムを取った方が良かったのではないか？
ガイドの説明は、淀みなく、退屈でなかった、話の内容が商品の売り込みに終始していたので嫌悪感を覚えた。
ポリネシアン文化センターは秀逸。体験も満足でき、十二分に楽しめた。

I don't need a souvenir shop. 土産屋いらない

Reviewed by: 参加者

I was charged such a high tour price, and some participants were forced to buy overpriced items at souvenir shops, which was quite exhausting. It felt like a budget Japanese group tour, despite the high cost. However, once we arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center, the student guides were doing their best, and it was theme park-like, so the children were enjoying themselves.

こんなに高いツアー金額を取られ、おみやげ屋さんでぼったくりの商品を買わされている参加者もいて、なんだか疲れました。
格安日本人団体ツアーのような内容です。高いのに。

A day that went by in the blink of an eye. あっという間の一日

Reviewed by: 素晴らしきかな、ハワイ

Originally, I hoped to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center from the afternoon to the evening, but it was fully booked. I ended up joining the morning tour, and I was very satisfied!

The bus guide's stories about Hawaii were enjoyable, and when it was time to say goodbye, I genuinely felt that I wanted to come back.

In the afternoon at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I had lunch and explored each village. On the flight there, I watched "Moana" and realized that they really lived a similar lifestyle, which made me feel the resilience of humanity.

The show of climbing the palm trees was breathtaking! I was amazed by the incredible speed and height!

This is a recommended spot to visit when you come to Hawaii!

This tour needs to be refreshed!

Reviewed by: drg

The bus ride to the Polynesian Cultural Center was ok. The guide who spoke most of the way there was not very entertaining. He did pass on a few useful tidbits, but not many considering he spoke for almost an hour and a half. The guide we got at the PCC was difficult to understand and was apparently supposed to shepherd about 20 or 30 people around. Since you had to be very close to him to be able to hear and understand him, most of what he said was missed by most of his charges. He led us from presentation to presentation for 2.5 hours, then, as he sent us on our way to our dinners, he gave us maps of the place. It would have been nice to have a program or something to explain what it was we were seeing in these presentations. The Luau was just ok. Waiters were passing out drinks in pineapples to select people...I was unaware of any offer of those drinks. I assume there was a separate charge, but I have no idea. The food was mediocre and the show after dinner was not much better. Then we went to the main event...HA, breath of life. Once again, we were not given any explanation of what the performance was showing us. A brief one-page synopsis would have been extremely helpful. Overall, I was very disappointed with this tour!

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。
