This was our first time in Oahu and first time at a Luau. Highly recommend Toa
Luau. We arrived a few hours early since ticket includes admission to the Waimea Valley Gardens and Falls. Bring swimsuits and take a dip into the waterfalls at the end of the valley! We walked back to the Luau in time for the fun activities and 'pre-Luau' events includes crafts. We attended as a couple but this would be wonderful for families. The Luau then began with an amazing show complete with dancing and fire! Cousin Billy our host was entertaining and hospitable--the entire experience has a 'family' welcoming vibe. The food was good with a variety of choices. Because we were on our honeymoon Cousin Bill called up all the anniversaries/honeymoon couples for a special gift and blessing which was so special to us. We would definitely return this time with our family! Great job Toa Luau we'll be back!
Aloha, and mahalo for your review! Your Toa Luau Ohana is looking forward to seeing you again :-)
I had a very enjoyable day! The most impressive part was the guide! She was a woman with striking eye makeup and a muumuu! Throughout the bus ride, she entertained everyone with various stories about Hawaii, and at the sightseeing points, she made sure we saw everything! Every place we stopped at during the half-day tour was great. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, we had a Japanese student guide who showed us around. It was very spacious and surprising! It was a beautiful place. We also enjoyed the show! A hat is definitely a must!
とても楽しい一日でした！一番印象的だったのは、ガイドさんでした！アイメークとムームーが印象的な女性です！
バスの中ではハワイのいろんな話を、観光ポイントではしっかり見せてくれるなど、終始みんなを楽しませてくれました！
半日観光で立ち寄った場所は、どこもよかったです。
ポリネシア カルチャー センターでも学生の日本人ガイドさんがついて案内してくれました。とても広くてビックリ！！キレイなトコでした。ショーも楽しめました！
帽子が必需品ですね！

If you're looking solely for entertainment, it might feel a bit lacking. However, as a show that expresses the history of the local culture and allows you to experience the traditions of the people of Hawaii, it was a relaxed and very pleasant time.
エンターテイメント性だけを求めている人だと、少し物足りないかもしれません。
でも、ハワイの人の分化に触れる、現地の方々による歴史を表現するショーとしては、ゆったりと、とても心地よい時間でした。

The staff was very help to assist us for the program timing and activity. park was very clean. performer are very talented. buffet was delicious. we have very good time for this trip in Hawaii. Thanks
We participated as a family in the Polynesian Cultural Center for the second time. If you're visiting Hawaii, it's definitely worth going at least once. You can experience traditional Hawaiian culture, including homes and costumes, and of course, you can watch hula dancing and enjoy Polynesian cuisine. They also have performances, including a dance and fire show, which was truly enjoyable and a wonderful way to learn about the culture!
親子で参加しました
『ポリネシア カルチャーセンター』2回目
ハワイに来たのならやはり1度は行くといいですよ
ハワイの文化、住居や衣装等伝統的なハワイを感じることが出来、
フラダンスももちろん見ることが出来るだけでなくポリネシア料理も食べることが出来る場所です^^
ここでは公演も行っているダンス・ファイヤーショーですがこれが本当に見て楽しく文化も学ぶことが出来る素晴らしい公演でした！！

I would say: little exposure to the island, but if you are looking into the opportunity to experience the island while getting a real dip into cultural life of the Polynesia.
The food was delicious.
The seating was perfect.
If I had a little more time, I could have enjoyed the visit more leisurely.
食事も美味しかったです。
席もバッチリでした。
もう少し時間があればゆっくり見学できたかなぁ

Shows at each of the Polynesian cultures were scheduled to flow from one to the other. Huki: A Canoe Celebration was a beautiful gathering of the features of all cultures represented at the park. Being a small physical park area, walking between activities was not stressful and workers were happy to help if you couldn't find a show. Great value for money.
I booked and participated in six activities during this trip, but the Polynesian Cultural Center was the best! The bus guide, Maki, was really funny, and despite the long travel time, no one fell asleep. The local Japanese student guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center was very dedicated, which was great. One day wasn't enough, so I definitely want to participate again next time.
今回の旅行で６つのアクティビティを予約し参加しましたが、ポリネシアカルチャーセンターは一番良かったです！
バスのガイドさんのまきさんは凄く面白く、長い時間の移動にも関わらず、誰一人寝ていなかった。
ポリネシアも現地の日本人学生のガイドが一生懸命さが伝わり凄く良かったです。
一日の滞在では足らないくらいでしたので次回も是非参加したいと思います。

I was disappointed that I couldn't get off the bus even though I went all the way to the North Shore. It was also a letdown that both meals were at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I had intended to see the whole island, but it felt one-sided, and I felt like I missed out.
せっかくノースショアまで行ったりしているのに、バスから降りれず、残念なおもいをしました。
食事は2回ともポリネシアン文化センターだったのも残念ポイント。
島全体をみれるつもりが、偏っていて、損した気分になりました。

We purchased the Super Ambassador package and we were treated like royalty. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and respectful. Iotua was our guides name so we highly recommend him. Learning about the other islands in the pacific was fun. They told you just enough that now we would like to visit each one. The parade on water was really something you don’t want to miss. Also the Breath of Fire program was awesome!
This plan includes buffet-style meals! I didn't expect much from the food, thinking it wouldn't be that great, but surprisingly, it was quite delicious. During the show, photography is prohibited, so you can only take memories back with you, but it was a story-driven show, and I enjoyed it to some extent. The final fire dance was truly impressive!
このプランはブッフェスタイルの食事付き！
そんな、大した食事ではないかとあまり期待してませんでしたが、意外と美味しく食べれました。
ショーの最中は、写真撮影など禁止なので、記憶で持ち帰るしかないですが、ストーリー仕立てのショーで、それなりに楽しめました。
最後のファイヤーダンスがやはり圧巻でしたね！

I studied various Polynesian cultures and dances thoroughly. It's a place where you can spend the whole day experiencing it. Alcohol is not available.
充分いろいろなポリネシアの文化とダンスを勉強しました。体験もでき一日中過ごせる場所です。アルコールが飲めないです。

Very cool to see and hear about all the history of the PCC. This is me and my wife's first time going to the PCC and Hawaii and let's just say that this is a must! Loved every second of it! Will be back again!
This event was outstanding - an excellent way to see so many of the major sites on the island and experience all the Polynesian Cultural Center has to offer. The tour guide was exceptional- providing a lot of interesting information about the various places we visited. Our stops were just the right amount of time to allow us to take pictures and explore a little. My personal favorite was Hanauma Bay - such a beautiful view. The Polynesian Cultural Center is a must see when you visit the island - such interesting and lesser known facts about the history of the Center - and an outstanding luau and show.
Every time I participate in the shuttle service, I see improvements, and the dance show is quite impressive. If I had to wish for something, it would be for the food (buffet) to be improved, which would make it truly unique.
送迎等参加する都度、改善され、ダンスショーは、見応え十分。欲くを言えば食事（ブッフェ）が改味されれば唯一無二になるのでは・・・。

Everything was fantastic from beginning to end. The people, the experience, the venue. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear you had a wonderful time at the luau, and we are looking forward to seeing you again.
This is a must do experience if one wants to know more about the Polynesian Culture!
My friends and I got the Ambassador package and was extremely amazed with how all the performers, guides and crew were doing everything with so much heart and passion! There is no lying on how one consistently feels so intrigued with learning about another culture.
Despite this being a manicured and curated tourist attraction with a make-believe setting, it doesn't disappoint. Being called "family" all the time does make the entire experience different.
The Luau night show is not be be missed! The show is called Hai and is so well done that I personally want to experience it again!
Overall, there is nothing much to fault. Also note that tickets purchased and not single entry! You can go back again on another day to continue your tour if you have missed out on certain experiences.
Thumbs up!
I participated in the tour because I was intrigued by everyone's reviews. Since we were a group of over ten people, including my 3-year-old child and parents over 70, I was worried whether everyone would enjoy it, but in the end, it was an exciting show for both kids and adults. The fire dance in the final act was particularly overwhelming! At first, I was confused because the narration was all in English, but in front of the performers' powerful performances, language didn't matter. It was a show that satisfied everyone. I recommend it to everyone, regardless of age.
One downside (which was our scheduling mistake) is that we returned to Waikiki after 10 PM, and since we participated on the first day of our arrival when we were sleep-deprived, my little child was extremely groggy by the time we got to the hotel. However, after a good night's sleep, they were back to normal (laughs). Please keep that in mind.
皆様のクチコミで気になってツアーに参加しました。
3歳の子供から70歳オーバーの父母を含む10名以上の団体であったため、全員が楽しめるか不安でしたが、終わってみれば子供から大人まで大興奮のショーでした。特に最終盤のファイヤーダンスには圧倒されます！！全て英語でのナレーションのため最初は？？？となりましたが、演者の方々の迫力あるパフォーマンスの前では言葉なんて関係ありません。全員が大満足のショーです。年齢関係なく皆さんにおすすめします。
一つだけ難点を言えば（我々のスケジュールミスですが）ワイキキ帰着が22時以降となるのですが、寝不足の到着初日に参加したためホテル到着時には小さな子供は非常にグロッキーになっていました。一晩寝れば元気になっていましたが(笑)。その点だけご注意ください。

I always rely on Veltra's optional tours. Previously, I visited the Polynesian Cultural Center during the day, so this time I wanted to see the night fire show. We booked a tour for six people on the evening of our arrival in Honolulu. During the journey, our guide shared the story behind the performance, so I was able to understand and enjoy it in English. With over 100 participants, the performances were stunning and captivating. The hour and a half show flew by. I highly recommend it. The buffet before the show was also luxurious, featuring crab, roast beef, and desserts, which left us very satisfied. It was great that it was a limited-time offer at just $26!
いつも、ベルトラさんのオプショナルツアーでお世話になっております。
以前は、昼間のポリネシアカルチャーセンターに行ったので、今回は夜のファイヤーショーを観たくて、ホノルル到着の日の夕方からのツアーを６名で申し込みました。
行く道中で、ガイドさんから、ストーリーの内容を聞いていたので、英語でも何とか理解して鑑賞出来ました。総勢１００名以上で、次々とパフォーマンスを繰り広げ、圧巻でした。１時間半ショーがあっという間でした。是非お勧めします。
ショーの前のビュッフェも、蟹やローストビーフやデザートなど豪華で大満足。
期間限定で２６＄も安かったのも、良かったです！

The canoe show and night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center, as well as the hula lessons, were very enjoyable. Our guide, Kelina, was knowledgeable and made the tour both fun and informative. I felt that the bus driver's driving was quite wild, and I hope that can be improved. Overall, it was a highly satisfying tour.
ポリネシアンセンターのカヌーショウとナイトショウ、フラのレッスンがとても楽しかったです。ガイドのケリーナさんが知識豊富でとても楽しく為になる内容のツアーでした。バスの運転手さんの運転がかなりワイルドでそこだけは改善してほしいと思いました。トータルでは最高に満足度の高い内容のツアーでした。

The stage was impressive with dance and storytelling woven throughout several acts! On the day of the event, it was a bit chilly for late February, so a long-sleeved outer layer was necessary.
It was a dinner and show only at night, but the dedicated explanations and guidance from the students in the car made the somewhat long journey feel worthwhile, as we got to hear stories from those living in Hawaii!
There's a superstition or urban legend that says if you see a rainbow, you'll be able to come back to Hawaii, and if you see a double rainbow, you'll be able to live in Hawaii.
The Polynesian Cultural Center certainly seems to be large in scale, and I thought I would like to take my time to stroll around and explore it next time.
Everyone has different feelings about it, but I found the buffet to be delicious! While it doesn't quite have the Japanese-style fusion of Western and Japanese cuisine, I think that anyone without particular dislikes would find it generally tasty. I particularly enjoyed the moist purple taro bread.
ダンスありストーリーあり
いくつかの幕の中で物語が紡ぎだす
ステージは圧巻でした‼︎
当日は2月下旬の少しだけ肌寒い陽気
長袖羽織ものが必要な感じでした。
夜のみのディナーとショーでしたが
車中の学校の生徒さんの懸命な説明と案内
少々長い道中も単なる移動にあらずといった
感じでハワイ在中の方の話が聞けました！
迷信というか都市伝説で。。
レインボーが見れたらハワイにまた来れる
ダブルレインボーが見れたらハワイに住める
みたいですよ〜笑

確かに規模が大きいようで、次回は
ゆっくり散歩の様に見てみたいと思いました。
人それぞれ感じ方が違うようですが

We started with sightseeing in the morning and entered the center at 1 PM. The daytime shows and the park tour were enjoyable, and both lunch and dinner were delicious. I watched the night show from the front row center and was moved to tears by the dancers' powerful performance. I will definitely go again next time. Thank you very much to the guide who took care of us during this tour. I hope to see you again next year.
午前中の観光から始まり１３時にセンターに入りました。
昼間のショーも園内ツアーも楽しく、ランチやディナーは美味しく、ナイトショーは、前列中央で見ましたがダンサーの皆さんの迫力に感動し、涙が出ました。
次回も必ず行きます。
今回のツアーでお世話になったガイドさん 本当にありがとうございました。
来年 またお会いできるといいです。

Had a great time from the time of pick up all throughout to the Center , the driver and the assistant Cousin Vette was funny and very knowledgeable of the culture since he was from Samoa . It was a great experience to learn about different cultures and histories inside the Polynesian Cultural Center, glad we added this to our bucket list
Tour guide outstanding. Exceeded all our needs and provided excellent guide service and advice. Treated us special from the moment we met until our departure. Thanks very much for translating Chinese for my wife and daughter and making their experience memorable. Had the best time ever! Definitely need to do this again with same guide. Thank you!
This was my second trip to Hawaii in about 30 years. It was my first time visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center. The shuttle bus took about 90 minutes to travel 60 kilometers from Waikiki to the center. Our guide was a lovely Japanese girl who kept us entertained with fun topics the whole way.
As for dinner, I'm sorry! It didn't suit my taste. The mashed potatoes, couscous, and crab were delicious, though. The overall flavor was quite rough, which was disappointing. However, all the staff were really nice, and the atmosphere was comfortable.
Unfortunately, the weather was a letdown! It rained heavily. Because of that, I couldn't enjoy shopping; it was cold, I got wet, and I didn't have a towel. Having wet feet was quite tough, and it was cold. It's best to prepare something warm depending on the weather!
But! The show was truly amazing, more than enough to overshadow all the negatives! It depicted birth, growth, departure, love, marriage, battles, the death of loved ones, forgiveness, the birth of children, and the ongoing cycle of human life, love, and family—Ohana.
In the final scene, I was in tears. It was wonderful! Even though it wasn't in Japanese, the message came through clearly. I'm really glad I went! Mahalo~❣️
30年ぶりくらいの2回目のハワイ。
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターへは、初めてでした。
送迎バスでワイキキから60キロ離れたセンターまで、約90分近く。ガイドさんは可愛らしい日本人のお嬢さん。道中ずーっと楽しい話題で退屈させることなく運んでくれました。
、、、って、私は、午前中、ダイヤモンドヘッドへワンデイパス使ってバスで行って登山してきた疲れもあって爆睡してしまってましたが、相方かきっちり聴いてました。^_^
ディナーはですねー、ごめんなさいね！
わたしの口には合いませんでした。
美味しかったのはマッシュポテトとクスクスと蟹。かな。笑、、仕方ないなーって、思えない程ざっくりしたお味でござりました。が、スタッフさんはみーんないい感じで、居心地はよかったです。
残念だったのは天候！雨でした。
大雨。だから、ショッピングを、楽しむどころじゃなく、寒い、濡れる、タオルない。足が濡れたまんまは結構つらかった。そして、寒い。
天候によって羽織るものなど待つべし！です。
でも！ショーはほんまにほんまにほんまに、マイナス面全てを包み込んでまだ余るくらい良かった！
誕生、成長、旅立ち、恋、結婚、戦い、愛する人の死、許し、子どもの誕生、繰り返し続く人の営みの中にある、愛、家族、Ohana
最後のシーン、涙溢れました。素晴らしい！
日本語じゃないけど、充分伝わります。
ほんとに行って良かった！マハロ〜❣️

It was a wonderful stage! I'm glad I went! The fire dance was particularly impressive. Depending on the weather and the season, it can be a bit chilly, so I think a light jacket is essential. The cultural center had a great atmosphere, and I enjoyed the juice and various shops there.
Also, the student guide for the shuttle was skilled and taught us a lot about Hawaii, making the trip enjoyable!
ステキなステージでした！
行って良かったです！
特にファイヤーダンスは圧巻でした。
観てる間は気候や時期にもよると思いますが、肌寒いので羽織ものは必須かと思います。
カルチャーセンターは雰囲気があって、ジュースや雑貨のお店などもあり楽しめました。
あと、送迎の学生さんのガイドが上手でハワイの知識を沢山教えてくれたので行き来も楽しかったです！

The Cultural Center is quite far away, and the dining area felt a bit bleak, with the food being just average, which was disappointing. However, the show was very satisfying, with content that clearly conveyed the history of Polynesia and the overwhelming beauty of the dance. The powerful performances by the male dancers were particularly impressive.
カルチャーカルチャーセンターまでが結構遠いのと、
お食事の場所が殺伐としていて、お味もそこそこなのが
残園ではありましたけれど、ショーは、ポリネシアの歴史が
よくわかるような内容と、圧倒的な踊りの素晴らしさで、

I didn't want my trip to Hawaii to be just about the beach, so I joined this tour, which had great reviews.
As expected, I got to see a wonderful dance and fire show, and I was able to experience traditional Hawaii through the homes and costumes, which made for lasting memories. I highly recommend it.
