All Reviews for Luau, Shows & Entertainment

Cracias por sus atenciones y amabilidad y de igual forma gracias por hacer de nuestra luna de miel algo inolvidable Y la guía que nos toco sabia mucho del tema y nos atendió excelente

The park is worth to visit, food just ok but the show at night is so good and make the day worth it.

The tour guide was not that good, spoke in a soft voice and let the passengers talk too much so it was hard to concentrate on what she was saying.

We started from Waikiki Beach and visited Hanauma Bay, Moanalua Gardens, Waimanalo Shopping Center, Dole Plantation, and Haleiwa in that order. We arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1 PM, where we spent the afternoon enjoying lunch, exploring the grounds, attending the dinner, and watching the light show until 9:30 PM. I think it was a very fulfilling tour.

ワイキキビーチから出発、次がハナウマ湾、モアナルアガーデン、ワイマナロショッピングセンター、ドールプランテーション、ハレイワの順番で回って、午後1時頃にポリネシアカルチャーセンターにたどり着き、ランチ、園内観光、デイナ、ライトショーを夜9時半まで園内で過ごしました。
とても充実したツアーだったと思います。

The guide talked non-stop on the way there (which is understandable since they are a guide), so I couldn't sleep. I thought it was just a transfer service without a guide, which was a bit stressful. The buffet meal was also disappointing. On the way back, we were told not to go to the restroom and to return to the bus immediately! So, I decided to leave a little before the end. I wish I had a bit more time to relax.

行きのガイドさんがずーっと喋っていたので（ガイドですから仕方ないのですが…）寝れませんでした。ガイド付きではなく送迎付きだと思っていたのでちょっとストレス…。バイキングの食事もイマイチ…。帰りはトイレなんて行かないですぐにバスに戻るように！と言われたのでラスト少し前に出ることに。もうちょっと余裕が欲しかったです…。

The dance show features various costumes and dances from Polynesia, including not only Hawaii but also Tahiti, Tonga, and New Zealand, throughout its overall story. Above all, the quality of the dance is impressive! The large group performances are beautifully synchronized down to their fingertips. The men's fire dance was also powerful.

Since I participated in the standard tour, the meal was a bit simple, but the venue was magnificent, with a large painting covering the entire wall that was strong and emotional, leaving a lasting impression. Next time, I would like to participate not only in the dance show but also in the daytime tour of the park.

ダンスショーは全体的なストーリーを通して、ポリネシアン(ハワイだけでなく、タヒチやトンガ、ニュージーランドなど）の色々な衣装やダンスを見ることが出来ます。
何といっても圧巻なのはダンスの質の高さです！大人数の群舞が指先まで揃っていて綺麗です。男性の踊るファイアーダンスも迫力がありました。
スタンダード･ツアーで参加したのでお食事はちょっとシンプルでしたが、会場は壁全体に描かれた大きな絵が力強く、情緒があって、圧倒されるほど立派でした。
次回はダンスショーだけでなく昼からの園内ツアーにも参加したいと思っています。

I had seen hula shows before, but this was my first time experiencing such a powerful performance. I was drawn into the story, and by the end, there was a standing ovation!! It was moving. The ice cream served during the show was also delicious. I definitely want you to pay attention to the staff who run to refill the ice cream!! They carry an incredible amount of ice cream on a tray, holding it with one hand... and run down the stairs!! The speed was amazing!! I want to see it again next time!

フラのショーなどは見たことがありましたが、こんなに迫力満点なショーは初めてでした。
物語に引き込まれ、最後にはスタンディングオーベ―ション!!感動ですた。
ショーの合間にだされるアイスも美味しかったです。アイスを補充しに走ってくるスタッフさんにぜひ注目そていただきたい！！笑　　ものすごい量のアイスをトレーに乗せ、片手で持ち・・・階段を駆け下りる！！その速さったら！！
また次回も拝見したいです！

I highly recommend this event, particularly as a Super Ambassador. The private tour guide and reserved seating were definitely worth the extra pennies. We partaked in lots of activities, saw all the best shows in best seats and generally had an amazing day. I can't recommend this event enough.

It was a very good tour. I believe everything depended on the guide's skills. The final hula was wonderful. Since it's in a remote location, I think you can only go there through an optional tour.

とても、良いツアーでした。すべてガイドさんの、力量に、かかっていると、思われます。最後の、フラも、素敵でした。遠い場所に、あるので、オプショナルツアーでないと、行けないかなぁと、思います、

Satoru, an international student, guided us with a ukulele in hand. He considered which activities would be enjoyable based on the members' countries and took breaks in the heat while showing us around. We learned about history and culture, enjoyed an exciting show, and experienced a humorous canoe ride before cooling down with a movie. After a buffet dinner, we enjoyed a magnificent show that included an impressive fire dance following a backstage tour. The souvenir shop was also of high quality, making the long trip worthwhile. A fond memory is when they made fish toys from tea leaves to keep the children entertained. I hope to visit again someday!

留学生のサトルさんがウクレレを片手に案内してくれましたが、メンバーをみて、どの国のどんなアクティビティに参加したら楽しめるかを考え、暑い中休憩をとりつつ案内してくれました。歴史や文化を知り、ショーで盛り上がり、冗談まじりのカヌーくだりを経て、映画でクールダウン。ビュッフェのディナーの後は、バックステージツアーを経て大迫力のファイアーダンスを含む壮大なショーを楽しみました。お土産屋さんのレベルも高いし、遠くまで遠征したかいがありました。子供が飽きないように、ティーリーフで魚のおもちゃを作ってくれたことも良い思い出です。またいつか行きたいと思います！

My kids and I found it to be a fun and learning experience. To learn about all the different Polynesian people in that kind of setting was great. The food and the show was wonderful.

My husband and I visited here and had a wonderful time. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. Everything was incredibly well done. Can't wait to come back in the future.

I participated in the standard plan on the day I arrived in Hawaii. It was convenient since there was a pickup service, and the meeting point was right in front of the hotel I was staying at. I had to wait about 10 minutes for the pickup due to traffic. This was my first time booking an optional tour online, so I was quite anxious, but it was reassuring to see that the voucher mentioned possible delays in pickup.

During the drive to the cultural center, the guide shared various stories and showed us pictures, which kept things interesting. The meal was a buffet, and I didn't have high expectations. There were some unfamiliar dishes, but the salad, fruit, and roast beef were tastier than I expected and more than enough.

Although my seat for the show was towards the back, the dance performances were amazing! While sitting closer might offer a more intense experience, I think you can enjoy it from any seat. There were various dances, and the story was engaging; even without understanding the words, I laughed and was moved—it was fantastic.

I think this is a recommended tour. I plan to go again when I visit Hawaii!

ハワイ到着日にスタンダードプランで参加しました。
送迎ありで楽だし、集合場所が宿泊しているホテルのすぐ前だったのでとても便利でした。
渋滞のせいで迎えが来るのを10分ほど待ちました。今回初めてのネットでのオプショナルツアーの申し込みでしたので不安は大きかったですが、バウチャー（予約券）に迎えが遅れたりすることも書かれていたので良かったです。
カルチャーセンターに着くまでの車中ガイドさんがいろいろお話したり写真を見せてくれたりで退屈しませんでした。
食事はビュッフェで、あまり期待していませんでした。食べ慣れないものもありましたが、サラダ・フルーツ・ローストビーフと思ったより美味しく充分でした。

ショーの席は後ろのほうでしたが、ダンスは素晴らしかったです！
前のほうで見たほうが迫力あるかもしれませんが、どの席からでも充分楽しめると思います。
いろんな踊りを見ることができ、ストーリー仕立てになっていましたが言葉が分からなくても笑ったり感動したり最高でした。

オススメのツアーだと思います。
またハワイに来たら行こうと思ってます♪

フライドチキンも牛肉もマッシュポテトもGOOD。生のお野菜もシャキシャキして美味しかったです。

I've seen many luaus in Hawaii, but this one comes highly recommended. I was staying at Aulani, so the long drive was tiring, but I'm glad I went. The performances and direction were so expressive that even without understanding the language, I could grasp the story, which flowed naturally and beautifully.

Unfortunately, I arrived after the show had started and missed the meal, which was really disappointing. Next time, I want to make sure I have enough time to enjoy both the meal and the show from the beginning. I will definitely revisit when I go to Hawaii. My 5-year-old child also had a great time.

ハワイのルアウはいくつも見ていますが、これは一番におすすめです。Aulaniに滞在していたのでかなり長距離ドライブで疲れましたが、行って良かったです。言葉がわからなくても理解できる演技力と演出、ストーリーが無理のない自然な流れになっており素晴らしかったです。
今回は食事にも間に合わず、ショーが始まってからの到着となってしまい本当に残念でした。次回は食事もショー自体も始めからきちんと楽しめるように余裕をもって行きたいです。ハワイに行く時は必ず再訪します。５歳の子供も十分楽しんでいました。

So I bought the super ambassadors package which bode well for me, considering the 42 acre mass of land the PCC is situated on! As a wheelchair user, probably not the best thing to be doing that on my own! (However massive my biceps may become!)
Everything from the bus ride there with narration from Cousin Nox to the personalised friendly tour guide Jarom who was a fountain of knowledge and super nice guy - was an incredible experience. That's just the customer service! The site itself was beautiful, plentiful in scenic, educational and picturesque landscapes, with presentations that made you laugh, applaud stamp you feet and clap you hands!
Hands down a great tour and an incredible luau and show to end the night! I was fortunate to go backstage before the show and meet someone of the cast - what a lovely bunch! And to see them in action and knowing their complete and genuine appreciation for U.S. tourists being there, made the show even more spectular and the experience that much more worth while.
For sure, I didn't see everything, and I'd definitely go back, especially for another canoe ride! Was so amazed at the level of attention and willingness that was about when I wanted to row the canoe and participate in activities like that.#SuperAccommodating
Truly a wonderful and amazing experience I'll never forget xD

We had an excellent experience! Will definitely recommend to others

It was very educational and entertaining. We especially enjoyed the Sumoa, New Zealand, and Tahitian cultures. The water parade of cultures was also excellent. It was exztremely hot the day we went. The only disappointing thing was the Island Buffet. The selections were limited. We expected more of a Hawaiian menu. It was mash potatoes, pork, beef, a very tasteless fish. There were no vegetables excepct for the salad bar which was limited in itself. The only fruit was pineapple and papaya. The ice cream machine ran out and it took them so long to get it operating that people just gave up.

The show was amazing would definitely go again. My 8 year old wanted to go back again the next night! Great family experience!

Super Ambassador was the way to go! Loved everything about it, even the little rain shower

After about an hour and a half drive from Waikiki, we arrived at the cultural center. We had a meal, moved to another building, and then enjoyed the show. The food was not exactly delicious... it was a bit disappointing. However, the show was fantastic as we got to see various dances. The fire dance was incredibly powerful and moving.

ワイキキから1時間半程車に乗ってカルチャーセンターにつきました
食事をし、建物を移動してからショーを鑑賞しました
食事はお世辞にも美味しいとは言えず・・・。チョット残念でした。
ショーの内容はいろんな踊りを見ることができてすごく良かったです
ファイアーダンスはものすごく迫力があって、感動しました

I participated in the Twilight with the standard shuttle service plan. During the day, I went snorkeling, and after a break, the shuttle picked us up at the hotel, which made it very convenient. The guide's stories about Hawaii on the bus were also nice. Since it was the standard plan, I didn't have high expectations for the meal, but I would have liked a few more options. My seat was on the side, but I really enjoyed the show. The final fire dance was impressive. It rained during the show, but there was a roof, so we could watch without getting wet! I went on a friend's recommendation, and I'm glad I participated.

トワイライト、スタンダード送迎付きプランで参加しました。昼間はシュノーケルをして、休憩した後、ホテルまでお迎えが来てくれたので、とても楽でした。バスの中でのガイドさんのハワイにまつわるお話も良かったです。スタンダードでしたので、食事の期待はしていませんでしたが、もう少し品数が欲しかったです。席はサイドでしたが、ショーはとても楽しめました。ラストのファイヤーダンスは迫力です。ショーの途中、雨が降っていましたが屋根がある為、濡れずに見れます！友人の勧めで行きましたが、参加して良かったと思います。

Our guide, Clifton, was great. He was knowledgable and very friendly. He was quick with a joke or light comment to keep the hot, sunny day light and fun.
The cultural center was well kept and full of beautiful and informative displays.
We enjoyed the entertainment and the food at the luau and "Ha" was beautiful. The dancing was amazing.

I enjoyed surfing in the morning and participated in the evening, so I was able to use my time effectively. The bus had the air conditioning turned down partway, which made it comfortable, and I arrived while I was sleeping. The steak for the meal was delicious. I was able to see the show from the second row, which was impressive and great. At the end, I shook hands with the show staff. I couldn't finish the fruit-flavored ice cream that was handed out along the way because I had eaten so much during the meal, so I left some behind.

They emphasized that the buses for going and returning were different, but there were so many buses that it was difficult to find mine. However, when I asked the staff, they quickly told me where to go.

午前中はサーフィンを楽しみ、夕方からの参加だったので、時間を有意義に使えました。バスは途中でエアコンを弱めてもらって、快適だったので眠っている間に到着しました。食事はステーキが美味しかったです。ショーは2列目で見られたので、迫力があって、良かったです。最後にはショーのスタッフと握手しました。途中で配られるフルーツ入りのアイスクリームは、食事を目一杯食べていたせいで食べきれず、残してしまいました。
行きと帰りのバスが違う事を強調してもらっていましたが、バスの台数が非常に多く探すのは大変です。でも、係員に尋ねたら、すぐに教えてくれました。

After waiting for the shuttle bus for 20 minutes, I finally thought it had arrived, but a family showed up late, resulting in a total delay of over 30 minutes. Because of this, I couldn't enjoy the park tour that I was really looking forward to!

Still, dinner was delicious in a spacious setting, and the show afterward was wonderful, making me feel that it was definitely worth coming back after 20 years!

This is a fantastic place that you must visit when you go to Hawaii. Based on my experience from 20 years ago, I recommend that energetic visitors arrive earlier to explore the park. For older guests, this time slot seems to be less tiring and more suitable.

お迎えのバスを待つこと20分、ようやく来たと思って乗り込んだら一組の家族が遅れてきて、合計30分以上の時間ロス。おかげで楽しみにしていた園内散策が全くできませんでした！
それでもディナーは広々としたところでおいしくいただき、そのあとのショーは20年ぶりに、やっぱり来てよかった～！！と感動させられる素晴らしいものでした。
ハワイに行ったらマストで訪れるべき、素敵なところです。
20年前の経験からいうと、エネルギーのある方は、もっと早い時間から行って、園内を回ることをおすすめします。年配の方にはこの時間帯が疲れずいいと思います。

I was in the second row from the front, closer to the center, and it was very impressive! So, I am satisfied with the seating. The content of the show can be understood by adults, but I think it would be difficult for children, and they might get bored halfway through. The fire dance was wonderful, so I hope everyone can see it until the end. I decided to go for the deluxe course to make the meal special, but I was disappointed that there wasn't any food that made me feel it was worth it. It was a buffet style, but there wasn't anything I wanted to have seconds of. At this level, I think the standard option would have been sufficient.

中央寄りの前から2列目で、とても迫力がありました！
なので、席については満足しています。
ショーの内容自体は、大人だと理解ができますが、
子供には難しいと思いますし、途中で飽きるかと思います。
ファイヤーダンスは素晴らしかったので、最後まで見てほしいですが。
食事を良いものにしようと、デラックスコースにしましたが、
デラックスにして良かったと思えるような食べ物は無く、残念でした。
バイキング形式でしたが、おかわりしたい食べ物は無かったです。
この程度なら、スタンダードで十分だと思いました。

Positives first...the Show is Amazing! I personally enjoy the show more than any Luau I have attended on Oahu. As a former resident and frequent visitor to HI....this has always been one of my favorite activities to visit and bring friends and family......sorry to say that the late entry does not allow you to do anything but attend the Luau and Show...there is NO time to do or visit the other activites....very disappointing.....not sure the Late Entry should be an option at all...unless....you just want to got to the Luau and Show, and it should be advertised that way.

The dance show was truly moving. The young man who guided us was also wonderful. I recommend experiencing it at least once if you go to Hawaii!

とにかくダンスショーは感動でした。案内してくれた青年もとてもすばらしかったです。ハワイに行ったら一度は体験されることをお勧めします！

The food was very disappointing, but the show was really good. I think you can enjoy it just fine from the standard seats, not just the deluxe ones. The staff were Japanese, which was great.

料理がとっても、残念でしたがショーはとっても良かったです。デラックス席じゃなくても、スタンダードで十分観覧出来ると思います。
スタッフの方は、日本人でとっても良かったです。

Our second time to the Centre. I have to say, out of all the activities on offer in Hawaii, this place has to be the best valued day out. It covered our transport, great entertainment, informative, our evening meal, then the finale is a terrific show..The Breath of Life....would highly recommend the Polynesian Culture Centre as a worthwhile addition to your vacation.
