It was a tour where we could leisurely explore the park, and our guide, Marilyn, was sincere and kind, making it enjoyable. I was impressed by the university students who were running the tour! Their professional performance was surprising and moving. The 4D movie was also great. The lady who picked us up strongly recommended upgrading to the deluxe option, but the standard course was more than enough. The BBQ and seating were excellent, and I have no complaints.
のんびりしたムードで園内を回れるツアーで、案内のマリリンさんは、誠実で親切で、楽しむことができました。大学生の方々が運営している姿に感動!プロに徹したパフォーマンスには驚きと感動を覚えました。4D映画も良かったです。ピックアップのおばちゃんにデラックスへの変更を強く進められましたが、スタンダードコースで十分です。BBQも座席もよくて文句ありません。

The show was centered around students, but it was impressive. Since I chose the cheapest meal course, it was just okay. Next time, I would like to try a slightly more expensive meal course.
ショーは、学生中心とのことでしたが迫力がありました。
食事は一番安いコースにしたので、まあこんなものかな~

The half-day course in the afternoon included a show. We stopped by a souvenir shop on the way, but I wondered if it was a tourist trap... Well, I did buy something, though! I wonder if it was a store where you could earn Ponta points? If I had known, I could have earned quite a few points. What a shame. The facilities at the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) are very large, so you can't see everything in just half a day. The guide who was assigned to us did a great job organizing the program and showing us around. Since we were in a small group, it was comfortable. The show was more impressive than I expected. After going around the PCC and learning about various things, it was easy to understand. It was a bit disappointing that the ice cream during the break ran out quickly and that there was no alcohol during dinner (though I understand why...).
午後からの半日コース、ショー付きでした。往路でお土産屋さんに立ち寄るのですが、ここはtourists' trapかと…。いや、買いましたがw。ポンタポイントが付くお店なのかしら?知っていたら随分ポイントになったはず。残念。PCCの施設は非常に大きいので、半日で全てを廻ることはできません。担当になってくれたガイドさんが上手にプログラムを組んで案内してくれます。私たちは小グループだったので、快適でした。ショーは期待以上の迫力。PCCをぐるぐる廻ってお勉強した後なので、色んなことがわかりやすい。休憩時間のアイスクリームがすぐになくなったことと、夕食時にアルコールがないこと(これは仕方ないけど…)がちょっと残念でした。

Very good, everything we were told it would be. The performers and staff were wonderful, warm and friendly, however, we were a little disappointed in the lava. It was not what we expected. It was more like a group buffet. On the other hand the Breath of Ha show was thrilling and excellent. We would highly recommend it. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable day.

The meals weren't particularly noteworthy, but the show (dance) was interesting. It was great to see various Polynesian dances up close. The staff member who accompanied us on the shuttle bus was a student, and it seemed like they were doing their best. However, even though they were Japanese, their use of honorific language was quite incorrect, so I think that area could be improved.

This was my fourth visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center! It's always fun no matter how many times I go! This time, I had a friend with me for the first time, and the 4 PM pickup after completing other schedules was really great. I was able to make the most of my day! The buffet meal was delicious enough with the standard course, and I was satisfied! My seat for the show was on the side of the stage, but it was close enough to see well. During the show's intermission, several people moved to more visible seats that were available. I wasn't sure if it was okay to move, so I stayed in my seat until the end, but I would have appreciated a little note letting me know it was fine to switch if there were open seats!

今回は初めての友達も一緒でしたが、他のスケジュールもこなしてからの16時ピックアップはとても良いです。1日を有効に過ごせました!お食事バイキングもスタンダードコースで十分に美味しかったし、満足!ショーの席はステージのサイドでしたが、近くてまあ見やすかったです。ショーの休憩時間に空いているもっと見やすい席に移動している方が何人もいました。移動して良いものか判断しかねたのでそのまま最後まで自席で観ましたが、空いていたら移動して良いならひと言教えていただけると嬉しかったな!

We did the full day PCC package and definitely loved it. However, its all about the tour guide. If you go try to get cousin Main he was extremely knowledgeable and manage to get us in the front row for all the events. Also, learning about how the majority of the proceeds go to student tuition it is a nice to know. Lastly, the HA fire show definitely is one of, if not, the best fire show luau ever.

After reading so many reviews, we expected this experience to be great; however, we found most of the evening to be okay at best. The prime rib and seafood, "prime" dining, is not good. Much of the hot food was luke-warm, the roast beef...I mean prime rib...although pretty sure it was roast beef, was way overcooked and just gross, and much of the food was slimy and just inedible. There was one hot seafood item which was somewhat hot/somewhat still frozen, and my husband said was disgusting. It was not prime dining. I would suggest skipping dining there altogether.
We had some time to walk around; however, most of the exhibits are just artifacts or movies/shows. The Samoa live show was interesting and entertaining, but the videos were boring and I can't imagine what you could spend an entire day there doing (we went late at 4 PM and had plenty of time). The "Ha, Breathe of Life" show was the best part for sure. The show was entertaining; however, it was very long. We went to another luau and show earlier in our trip, booked through the cruise line, and I would say that show was better. "Ha, Breathe of Life" was very long and had a lot of repetitive dancing. They do a part of the show for each Island, so after awhile the dancing gets repetitive. Some aspects were really neat: fire dancing, a few of the dances with props, etc, but it would have been better if it hadn't been so extremely long and repetitive.
Overall, I can't say that I would recommend this experience. If I did, I would recommend the show, without eating dinner. Additionally, be prepared to pay extra for everything and have things that cost money constantly offered to you (I understand, it is a vacation destination, but for the Polynesian Cultural Center, which doesn't allow tipping and is all about culture, it just seemed weird after awhile). Next time we go to Hawaii, we will try a luau closer to the resort area, and skip the Polynesian Cultural Center.

When we first booked this tour it was at the recommendation of my parents who had visited a few years previously. My husband and I were originally going to explore the center on our own, however, after spending an hour on the bus with Jermaine (hope I spelled that right) and learning that he was giving the tour, we decided to pay a little extra and join the tour group. Best investment we made on our vacation. Not only was Jermaine knowledgeable, friendly, and seriously hilarious, but he got us to all the shows and we saw more than if we had tried to navigate the center ourselves. Highly recommend this place to everyone, and pay the extra for a guide. Well worth it.

I heard it's a really great facility, so I participated in the deluxe option to watch the show from a nice seat.
The guide who showed us around the park was a student from a neighboring university. I was surprised to hear that most of the people performing in the show are also students. Honestly, I could feel a difference in energy depending on the guide... (laughs)
I also recommend participating in the backstage tour, where you can see the rehearsal scenes and the costume room before the show! The show from the third row was absolutely amazing! After it ended, I was able to take photos with the dancers!
On the bus ride there, the guide provided continuous sightseeing information, making it a fun tour all the way!

I had been curious about it but hadn't been able to go until now. It's far from Waikiki, but the student guide explained everything enthusiastically, so it wasn't a burden. The show had a story like a musical, and it was quite meaningful. I reserved the higher-priced seats and buffet, and I think that was the right choice. Even if you're in Waikiki, you still have to eat dinner somewhere, so the evening departure + dinner + round-trip transportation + show viewing isn't too expensive, and you don't have to think about various plans for the evening or search for a restaurant, which makes it convenient.
気になっていながら毎回行けてなく、今回初めて行きました。ワイキキから遠いですが、学生のガイドさんが一生懸命色々と説明してくれるので、苦ではなかったです。ミュージカルのようストーリーがあるショーで、意味深かったです。席もビュッフェも高い方を予約しましたが、そうした方が良いように思います。ワイキキにいてもどうせ晩ご飯はどこかで何か食べないといけないので、夕方出発 + ディナー + 往復送迎 + ショー観覧は、そう高くもないぢ、まず夕方からの予定を色々考えなくて済むし、レストランを探す必要もなく楽です。

The guided tour is great for getting a good look around the spacious facility. Personally, can I explore freely? I chose the deluxe course for dinner, and every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The hula show incorporated various dances into a story about a young man overcoming challenges and growing, which made it very engaging. The audience was really excited, and it felt like everyone in the hall was enjoying themselves.
ガイドのついたツアーとなっているので、広い施設を一通り見て回るには良いですね。
個人的に、自由に回ってみることはできるのでしょうか?
ディナーはデラックスコースにしましたが、どのお料理も美味しくて見た目も華やかでした。
フラのショーは、一人の男子が挫折を乗り越えて成長していくというストーリーの中に、さまざまなダンスを織り込んでいて、ショーアップされています。観客もみなさんとても盛り上がって、ホール全体で楽しんでいる感じが良かったです。

We participated as a couple. We were looking forward to it because we had heard that the show was large-scale and wonderful. After seeing reviews suggesting that it’s better to choose your seats carefully, we opted for the deluxe option to get green seats.
Fortunately, we ended up with a very good seat among the green ones!! It was the second row from the front, near the center! The show was powerful and enjoyable. The food was also delicious.
If you have the time, I recommend not just enjoying the show but also taking your time to enjoy the afternoon. We checked out a smaller show (which was really interesting!) and even tried a bit of hula dancing. After that, we took a canoe back.
Although it was mentioned that the guide wouldn’t speak Japanese, in reality, many of them could speak Japanese, so we were able to get explanations in Japanese.
