On est vraiment plongé dans l’apprentissage sur l’histoire des îles polynésiennes.

Le souper était à nouveau excellent et le spectacle HA le souffle de la vie est majestueux

All of our kids loved it here, they had smiles on their faces all days thanks to the PCC staff!

The day is a very busy one, be prepared for a lot of activities, it is almost hard to hit everything in a day but the ticket does allow you to come back for the day touring!

It was fun to experience various activities on the vast grounds. There were many different shows to see, and I was able to participate in some experiences as well. The dinner was delicious, and the evening show, which incorporated Polynesian history along with a fire performance, was wonderful.

広大な敷地で色々体験もでき楽しかったです。
いろんなショー見えるし、体験もできました。
ディナーも美味しいし、イブニングショーではポリネシアンの歴史織り込みながら炎のパフォーマンスが素晴らしかった。

It says it starts at five but the activity start maybe an hour earlier but still give yourself some time to go to the waterfall for about three hours and an hour to get ready there

A LOT OF ACTIVS PICKUP AND DROPOFF TO CENTER . THE BUFFET WAS VERY GOOD,

Just an overall fun experience. From learning about the different cultures to the games and activities to the amazing food! Everything was planned and every worker was helpful and polite. I highly recommend doing the full day event and using it as one of your full vacation days. It was a very long day, but it was well worth it and the food buffet was like nothing I had ever seen before. The best part was the luau completely captivating and well done.

I had a wonderful mini tour with our Japanese guide, Nana, who was kind and fun! The kids were thrilled with the gifts from Nana.

The buffet was at a level that I couldn't believe was the same as what I had ten years ago; it was so delicious that I felt like we didn't have enough time to enjoy the meal.

The evening show was the most impressive I've ever seen, with a spectacular fire dance that was a lot of fun. I felt it was worth more than the price we paid, and I was very satisfied.

日本人ガイドのナナさんの優しくて楽しいガイドで、ミニツアーを楽しみました！子どもたちはナナさんからのプレゼントで大興奮していました。
ブュッフェは10年前に食べたものと同じ内容とは思えないほどレベルが上がっており、食事時間が足りないと感じるほど美味しかったです。
イブニングショーは過去一番迫力があり、ファイヤーダンスも豪華で、とても楽しかったです。お値段以上と感じるほど大満足でした。

I took my grandchild to Hawaii, and it was our first visit! It surprisingly took less than an hour and a half from Waikiki. My first grader was amazed to experience the cultures of various countries. It was a fantastic experience for both of us adults and the child! The evening show was quite impressive. I would recommend it to everyone going to Oahu. Mahalo!

孫1人を連れてハワイに行くので
初めて訪れました！ワイキキから意外と1時間半弱。いろんな国の文化に触れて小1の孫は目を輝かせていました。すごい良い体験できたし、大人の私たちも素晴らしい経験ができました！
夜のショーはなかなか圧巻。オアフに行く人にはみんなに勧めたいです。マハロ

I was amazed by the size and facilities of the place. I was surprised to find such a magnificent facility with staff located quite far from Honolulu. I'm also grateful that a Japanese university student attended to us.

施設の大きさと設備に驚きました。
かなりホノルルから離れた場所に
こんな壮大な施設にスタッフがいて
びっくりしました。
日本人の大学生がアテンドしてくれたことも
感謝です。

Although my stay was short, the Japanese guide provided a thorough tour without wasting any time. It was very helpful and enjoyable. Without the guide, I probably would have wandered around the vast grounds without understanding anything. The buffet had an incredible variety and the food was very delicious. The main show featured more intense dance performances, resembling a musical rather than relaxed dancing, which was unexpected but fantastic. The location is far from Waikiki, but it was definitely worth the trip!

短時間での滞在でしたが、日本人のガイドさんが無駄な時間を作らないようにきっちりガイドしてくださいました。とても助かりましたし楽しかったです。たぶんガイドがなかったら広い敷地内をぼーっとして何もわからず終わってました。バイキングはものすごい種類豊富で味もとても美味しかったです。メインのショーはゆるりとしたダンスというよりはミュージカルのような激しめのダンスが多く予想外でしたが素晴らしかったです。場所はワイキキから遠いけど行く価値はありました！

We had a great time. All the performances at the islands were perfect. The food was good, but next time we will try to get there earlier so that the line isn’t as long. Ha was stunningly beautiful!

My friends and I had a great time during this luau! There were a lot of activities to learn traditional manners of cooking, delicious food to eat, and an outstanding show with dance from all the Polynesian islands. I would truly recommend this experience to everyone! Everyone that worked there was very personable as well. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to actually explore the valley but I heard great things about that. I would definitely leave time before to go to the waterfall.

The friendly and knowledgeable driver, who seemed to be an experienced person from Dole, drove the trolley through the vast pineapple plantation while providing detailed explanations to the participants, allowing us to enjoy the pineapple fields with peace of mind. The farm was incredibly expansive, unimaginable in Japan (about 180 Tokyo Domes?), and I learned that the workers spend all day bending over to plant 5,000 pineapple tops, realizing the tremendous effort that goes into producing such delicious fruit. At the shop, we were able to taste freshly harvested pineapples and received a whole pineapple as a souvenir, which added to our enjoyment after returning to the hotel. After the farm tour, we had lunch at a popular garlic shrimp restaurant in the center of Haleiwa, and in the afternoon, we visited the turtle rock for power sports and a soap factory that was featured on Japanese television. On the way back, the driver listened to the participants' wishes and took us to the highest parking lot on Tantalus Hill, where we enjoyed a panoramic view of Oahu. The tour was filled with new discoveries, making for a memorable day.

親切で情報知識が豊富な運転手さんはDoleの会社の人のように手慣れた感じで広大なパイナップル農園を見学用のトロリーを運転しながら参加者に細かく説明してくれるので安心してパイナップル畑を楽しむことができました。農園は日本では考えられないくらい広大で(東京ドーム180(個分)？)畑で働く人々は1日中腰を屈めて5000個のパイナップルの種(パイナップルのアタマ)を植え付けしていると聞き美味しい果物をいただく裏には大変なご苦労があることを知ることがてきました。売店で採れたてのパイナップルの試食と、まるまる1個のお土産をいただくことができ、ホテルに戻ってからの
楽しみができました。農園見学後はハレイワの中心地にあるガーリックシュリンプの人気店で昼食をして、午後からはパワースポートの亀の岩や日本のテレビでも紹介された石鹸工場を見学しました。帰りは参加者の希望を聞いていただき、タンタラスの丘のいつもは行かない一番高い所の駐車場でオアフ島のパノラマを楽しみました。ツアーは新しい発見もあり思い出深い1日を過ごすことができました。

This is a theme park where you can see and experience the culture and shows of the Polynesian islands. I participated in an afternoon tour to see the evening show. The local Japanese student guide provided a clear explanation of the Polynesian countries, which was very educational.

The buffet had a wide variety of dishes and was easy to enjoy. The evening show lived up to its reputation, featuring a grand and impressive performance with a storyline, and the dancing was wonderful and moving. I would love to see it again. Next time, I want to go on a tour that departs in the morning so I can take my time exploring.

ポリネシアの島々の文化やショーを見たり体験できるテーマパークです。イブニングショー目当てに午後からのツアーに参加しました。
日本人現地学生ガイドさんにポリネシアの国々を分かりやすく説明いただき大変勉強になりました。
ビッフェも沢山の種類があり食べやすかったです。
イブニングショーは評判通り、ストーリー性のある壮大で圧巻な演出、ダンスも素晴らしく感動的なショーでした。また観たいと思いました。今度は午前中出発のゆっくり回れるツアーで行きたいです。

I feel like our time staying in the North Shore would've felt incomplete if not for getting to explore it with Aina, our personal local! We saw gorgeous places we likely never would've seen on our own, learned a surprising amount about O'ahu's history and culture in a casual way, got more familiar with the town and even returned to places on our own, enjoyed greeting Aina's friends and family along the way, got some great recommendations on where to eat, and that's just off the top of my head! Aina was very easy to be around, and his tour was a highlight of our stay. Mahalo!

Over 100 performers showcase songs and dances in a storytelling format. I've seen various luau shows, but this one is completely theatrical. Fortunately, I was seated in the front row, and I could feel the heat from the fire show, which was incredibly powerful.

Before the show starts, a Japanese guide takes you around the vast Polynesian Center, which was truly appreciated. For first-time visitors, it's easy to get lost and confused about where everything is.

100人以上の演者が物語形式で歌や踊りを披露します。ルアウショーは色々と見ましたが、こちらは完全に演劇です。幸運にも一番前の席に座れて、ファイアーショーの火の熱まで伝わって来てすごい迫力でした。

ショーが始まる前に広大なポリネシアセンターを日本人のガイドさんが回ってくれるのですが、これが本当にありがたかったです。初めて訪れる人はどこに何があるか掴めずグダグダになること間違いないです。

I was looking for a place I had never been to and a tour I had never experienced before, and I found this tour. I have been to the Dole Plantation many times, but this was the first time I learned that you can take a factory tour right across the street.

On the day of the tour, it had rained the night before, so the ground was nicely damp, which was great. Our guide, Nori, took photos at various locations and also took us to sightseeing spots other than Haleiwa Town. I think it was because there were only a few participants that he was able to accommodate our requests.

今までに行ったことのない場所、経験したことの無いツアーを探していて、本ツアーを見つけました。ドールプランテーションには何度も行っていますが、向かい側で工場見学ができることを今回初めて知りました。
ツアー当日は、前夜に雨が降ってことで地面の土がほどよく湿っていて良かったです。
ガイドのノリさんは、場所場所で写真を撮ってくださり、ハレイワタウン以外にも観光名所に連れて行ってくれました。参加者が少人数だったのでリクエストに応えてくれたのだと思います。

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🤗👍

Everything about the day and evening was terrific ☺️

I was only expecting to participate in the buffet and the show in the evening, but when I checked in, there were still about an hour left before the Polynesian exhibition closes, and the ticket included it. This definitely worth much more than how much I paid!

Show was great. I would recommend for everyone visiting Hawaii

I returned home extremely satisfied after an amazing show that exceeded my expectations. The storytelling was captivating, and the ending was so powerful that it brought me to tears.

想像以上の最高のショウーで大変満足し帰ってきました。物語性になっていて、ラストは涙が出るほどのめり込む迫力で感動いたします。

We went to the Polynesian show at WDW years ago and this one blew it out of the water. Fantastic family atmosphere.

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。
日本語版のリーフレットは、入口でもらえます。

You can see the culture and dances of the region in each section. It was fun just being there! I accidentally forgot to book the evening luau, so next time I want to see it with the luau included.

セクションごとにその地域の文化や踊りを見ることができる。
いるだけで楽しかった！
間違えて夜のルアウを予約し忘れてしまったので次回はルアウ付きで見たい

It was a wonderful tour where I could fully enjoy the nature, culture, and local flavors of Hawaii. I had a great experience!

Thanks to the precise advice given after asking what I wanted to do at each location, I truly had no wasted time and was able to enjoy everything I wanted to do.

The pineapple I received as a souvenir was cut and eaten fresh with my child at the condominium, and we also enjoyed it as frozen pineapple.

I was worried about whether we could finish it, but it was so delicious that we quickly finished one! At this rate, it seems like it will be gone by tomorrow, haha.

I will definitely repeat this experience!!!

ハワイの自然、文化、そして地元の味を存分に楽しめた素晴らしいツアーでした。大変良い体験をしました！
それぞれの場所で何をしたいのか質問して下さり、的確なアドバイスをして頂いたおかげで本当に無駄な時間がなく、かつ全てやりたい事は満喫する事ができました♪
お土産で頂いたパイナップルはコンドミニアムで子供とカットして生で食べたり、冷凍パインにして楽しみました(*^^*)
食べきれるか心配でしたが、あまりの美味しさにあっという間に１つ完食！！
このペースで食べたら明日にはなくなりそうです笑
絶対リピートします！！！

The doll factory tour was overwhelming with its vast pineapple fields, and I thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of nature. The guide's explanations were very clear, and I learned a lot of things I didn't know about how pineapples grow and their history!

What impressed me the most was how kind the guide was! Whenever I asked questions, they answered patiently and greeted me with a smile, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

I gained knowledge, was healed by the scenery, and it was a truly satisfying experience.

Additionally, the sightseeing in Haleiwa Town, downtown, and the macadamia nut outlet was well-timed, allowing us to enjoy the attractions while also having enough time to explore the town freely.

I've been to Hawaii many times, but there were so many new discoveries, and it was fun! I highly recommend it to both first-timers and those who have been here multiple times!

ドール工場見学は、広大なパイナップル畑に圧倒され、自然の美しさを満喫。ガイドさんの説明もとてもわかりやすくて、パイナップルの育ち方や歴史など、知らなかったことをたくさん学べました！
何より印象的だったのは、ガイドさんがとても親切だったこと！
わからないことを聞いたら丁寧に教えてくれて、笑顔で接してくれるので、より楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
知識も増えて、景色にも癒やされて、大満足の体験でした。
その他、ハレイワタウンやダウンタウン、マカダミアナッツアウトレットなどの観光も、ツアーの時間配分も良く、観光スポットをじっくり楽しみつつ、自由に町を探索できる時間がちょうど良かったです。
ハワイには何度も来ていますが、新しい発見がたくさんあり楽しかったです(*^^*)
初めての方にも何度も来ている方にもとてもオススメです！

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!
