Took daughter to Hawaii for her birthday. Wanted her to experience the Islands and how each of the polynesian islands were different yet simuliar. So informative and would do again and again if I have the chance. Thank you Angelo for the special birthday crown you make for my daughter. I asked her what her favorite part of her trip was and she said The PPC. You all were awsome. A big Mahalo to you all.

I have used Alan1.net multiple times, but this was my first time participating in a limited monitor tour. Since the price was fixed, I didn't have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious meals and the show seats, which were in the center and just three rows from the front. The child I accompanied was also thrilled to quickly take a commemorative photo with the main characters, the prince and princess. This is my eighth time in Hawaii, and it’s always a fun paradise no matter when I come. I will be visiting again in January and February next year, and I will be using Alan1.net.
Alan1.netは何回も利用させてもらいましたが、初めて限定モニターツアーに参加しました。
金額が定額でしたので期待をしていませんでしたが、予想をひるがえして食事も堪能し、加えてショーの席もセンターで前から三列目でした。同伴の子供も主役の王子と姫と素早く記念写真を撮れて喜んでいました。
ハワイは8回目となりますが、いつ来ても楽しいパラダイスです。また、来年の1月&2月に訪れますが、Alan1.netを利用させていただきます。

It was my first time participating. First, about the food, it was a buffet, and I would say it was neither good nor bad. It was more about quantity than quality, but I was satisfied.
The show was fairly interesting. It had a storyline, so it wasn't boring.
I was seated in the fourth row from the front. I wonder if it would be hard to see from the back...
There was an ice cream service halfway through, and it was super delicious!
It became a great memory in Hawaii. Thank you very much.
初めての参加でした。まず、食事ですが、ビュッフェですが、」んー可もなく不可もなくといった感じでしょうか。
質より量的なw
でも満足。
ショーはまあまあおもしろかった。
ストーリー性があって飽きないかな。
席は、前から4列目でした。
後ろだとあまり見えないのかな。。。
途中アイスのサービスがあったのですが
超おいしかった!
ハワイでの良い思い出となりました。

It has been over a year since I participated, but I was seriously considering revisiting until the last minute during my recent trip to Hawaii.
I thought this place was just a typical tourist theme park since it has been around for a long time. So, I never thought to go back, and I always ignored it after being taken there as a child.
However, visiting as an adult was great! I learned a bit about Hawaii, which I love. If you have the budget and time, I definitely recommend going with the deluxe plan. With a small group, the guide is easy to hear, and they ensure you have a great view of the shows!
参加したのはもう一年以上前なのですが、
今回の渡ハ時もギリギリまで再訪しようか悩んだくらいです。
ここって昔からあるし、
よくある観光テーマパーク…と思ってました。
なのでわざわざまた行こうと思わなかったし、
子供の頃連れられたっきりいつも無視。。。
けれど大人になって行ってみると良かった♪
大好きなハワイについて、軽く勉強になります。
もし予算と時間に余裕があるなら、
是非デラックスなプランで行ってみてください。
少人数にガイドさんがつくから聞きやすいし、
ショーもものすごく見やすい位置をとってくれていますよ~。

The activity lasted 14 hours, but we were never bored and the time seemed to fly by. A great guide/bus driver in Henry, an entertaining samoan, helped greatly.
You get to see many of the famous beaches, mountains and other parts of Oahu, as well as the Dole plant (where we spent so little time that it was almost a waste) and the Polynesian cultural center.
The buffet was OK, as expected, but nothing special. The shows before and after though, were very good. A must see for all visiting Oahu.
Good value for the money.

I participated in this company trip.
We had 36 participants and made various requests, which were addressed promptly, and that was very helpful.
On the day of the night show, we had excellent seats and were able to enjoy a wonderful performance from a front-row perspective.
The employees who attended were very pleased and would definitely recommend this show to anyone coming to Hawaii.
This activity, which allows you to experience Polynesian culture, is recommended for those who want to see a side of Hawaii beyond just shopping.

We left the hotel in Waikiki at 12:00 and headed to the Polynesian Cultural Center, stopping by a souvenir shop along the way, and arrived at the site at 2:15. We watched the canoe show, and then continued to explore the buildings and shows from various countries, which included some hands-on experiences that were enjoyable. Dinner at the restaurant started at 5:00; it was a buffet, but very delicious. The show starting at 7:30 had a storyline and was truly wonderful, leaving me deeply moved. It exceeded my expectations. I'm glad I chose the deluxe option.
12時にワイキキのホテルを出てポリネシア文化センターへ、途中お土産屋さんに寄り2時15分に現地到着。
カヌーショウを見て、その後各国の建物やショー等の見学と続き、体験等もあり楽しめました。5時よりレストランでの食事・・バイキングですがとてもおいしかったです。
7時30分からのショーは、ストーリーがありとてもすばらしく感激しました。期待以上のものがありました。デラックスを選択してよかったと思います。

Last year, we went on the same tour with four people... This year, we went with two couples, totaling six people... We departed around 4 PM, enjoyed the mountains and scenery along the way, and after arriving, had a meal in a pleasant open-air location... After browsing for souvenirs, it was finally time for the show. Last year, we were seated towards the back, making it a bit difficult to see the stage, but I thought it was because it was a cheap tour... This year, however, we had relatively good seats towards the front, albeit on the side. The show was the same as last year, but we enjoyed it just as much. During a break, watching the people carrying ice cream at high speed down the stairs, which was included in the expensive tour, was just as enjoyable as the show... Including all of this, everyone was very satisfied with the affordable and fun half-day experience!
昨年は同じツアーに4名で・・・今年は友人夫妻2組と6人で・・・
4時頃出発で、途中の山々や景色を楽しみ、到着後オープンエアーの気持ちの良い場所でのお食事・・・お土産を覗いて、いよいよショーです。昨年は後ろの方で舞台が少々見づらかったのですが、安いツアーだから・・・と、思っていたら今年は、端ですが比較的前の方の良いお席・・ショーは昨年同様のものでしたが、何度でも楽しみました。
途中休憩の時に高いツアーに含まれるアイスクリームを運ぶ人たちの超スピードの階段移動がショーと同じ位楽しめました・・・これも含めて安くて楽しめる半日にみんな大満足でした♪

I wanted to see the Polynesian show, so I joined a plan that included just the show and dinner. I didn't check out the other attractions in the theme park, but I think it would be interesting for those who have the time to participate. The dinner is a buffet, so it's nice to be able to choose what you like, but if you arrive just before the entry time, it can be crowded, and there were people waiting. The show has a storyline, which made it easy to understand, and I appreciated that. Since the story progresses at a leisurely pace, I felt that a plan that includes dining would also be a good option. Although my seat was towards the back, I was able to enjoy the overall atmosphere, and I felt that was nice in its own way. Of course, the fire dance, which I was most looking forward to, was spectacular. I recommend it to those who haven't seen it before.
ポリネシアンショーが見たくて、ショーと食事だけのプランに参加しました。
テーマパークの他のアトラクションは見ていないのですが、時間がある方は参加しても面白そうなのではないかと思いました。
ディナーはバイキングですので、好きなものを選べるので良いと思いますが、入場時間ぎりぎりに来ると混んでいて待っている人もいました。
ショーはストーリーになっているのでわかりやすくてよかったです。
これだけゆっくりストーリーが進むのであれば、
食事をしながらのプランもアリだなと感じました。
席は後ろの方でしたが、全体の雰囲気も味わえてそれはそれでよかったと感じています。
もちろん一番見たかったファイアーダンスも迫力満点で良かったです。
見たことのない方には鑑賞をお勧めします。

I participated in the Twilight Deluxe.
It was my first time in Hawaii, and I signed up for this because I wanted to see the show.
It was a wonderful show, just as I had heard, and I was moved!
It takes over an hour to get to the center, but I think it's worth going just to see the show.
Before entering the restaurant, we took photos with the dancers one group at a time, but they cost $18, so I didn't buy one. They turned out well, but I would have purchased one if it had been a bit cheaper.
By the way, if there are Deluxe seats available, it seems you can upgrade from Standard to Deluxe by paying an additional fee on the day. I think it's better to watch from the Deluxe seats if possible.
トワイライトデラックスで参加しました。
初めてのハワイで、ショーが観たかったのでこちらに申し込みました。
評判通り素晴らしいショーで感動しました!
センターまで片道1時間以上かかりますが、ショーを観る為だけにでも行く価値はあると思います。
レストランに入る前に1組ずつダンサーと写真を撮ってもらいましたが、$18もしたので買いませんでした。よく撮れていたのでもう少し安ければ買ったのですが。
ちなみにデラックスの席が空いている場合は、当日追加料金を払えばスタンダードからデラックスの席に変更できるようです。できればデラックスの席で観た方がいいと思います。

I participated last year as well, and I wanted to join again to see this show. I had a front-row seat, so it was incredibly powerful, and the 1 hour and 30 minutes flew by. I was so moved that I ended up in tears at the end. It's a bit of a distance from Waikiki, but I think it's a show worth going to.

I participated in the All Day Deluxe. The transportation was enjoyable, with a male college student guide explaining things while we traveled in a medium-sized bus.
For the evening show, I booked through Alan1 and ended up in the fourth row from the front in the center. The center is the best location. If you're seated further back, you can't see the dancers' facial expressions, which diminishes the enjoyment. (Although the price is high, the Deluxe experience is definitely worth it.)
The Deluxe option included a guided tour with a small group, and even though it was expensive, I was very satisfied. (This time, our guide was a very cute college student named Kotona. Thank you for explaining everything so well and making it a pleasant day.) My three children, who are in elementary and middle school, also had a great time.
As a downside, there were too many things to see, and one day wasn't enough. I wish they would start earlier. There was hardly any time to buy souvenirs, which is disappointing! (After the evening show, it's time to catch the bus back, leaving no time for shopping.)
There are various events like hula dancing and a Tonga show. Therefore, booking the Deluxe through Alan1 and sitting in the center front row is definitely worth it.
オールデイ・デラックスで参加しました。
送迎は、中型バスで男子大学生のガイドが説明しながら楽しく移動できました。
夜のショーは、Alan1で申し込んだら中央で前から4列目でした。中央が最高のロケーションです。また、後ろのほうでは、ダンサーの顔の表情がわからないため、楽しさも半減です。(料金が高いですが、デラックスが絶対に良いです。)
デラックスは、場内の案内も少人数で案内され、料金が高くても満足いくものでした。(今回のガイドは、とてもかわいい大学生の琴奈さんでした。一生懸命説明してくれて気持ちの良い一日を過ごせて有難うございました。)
高・中・小学生の3人の子供たちも楽しんでいました。
最後に欠点として、見どことがありすぎて一日では足りません。だからこそ、開始時間を早めてほしいです。お土産の買う時間もほとんどありません。残念!(夜のショーが終わったら帰りのバスの時間です。買い物の時間はありません。)
フラを踊ったり、トンガのショーを見たりいろいろなイベントがあります。だから、デラックスをAlan1で予約して中央前列で見る価値は、保障です。

This is the children's third visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center, while their parents are visiting for the first time. It's my fifth time, and I truly enjoy it every time I go.
On the shuttle bus, a guide who speaks Japanese explained various things, and inside the center, Japanese students diligently guided us, so we felt at ease.
The evening show was impressive as we were able to sit in the front row, and it was very moving.

I heard from a friend that I should definitely see the evening show, so I included it in my schedule. It was a full-day course, but a half-day course or just the evening show might also be good options. The show featured dancers on an outdoor stage, delivering a powerful performance. Since it was a story-based show, it kept me engaged and was quite fulfilling. I highly recommend it! Additionally, the students in the park were very friendly and readily joined in for photos, making for a fun day.
友人から聞き夜のショーは見た方がいいと言われ、日程に組み入れました。一日コースでしたが半日コースまたは夜のショーのみのツアーでもいいかも知れません。ショーは野外ステージを所狭しとダンサー達が迫力の舞台を見せてくれます。ストーリー仕立てのショーなので飽きる事無く、中身も充実してました。お勧めです!また園内の学生達は大変気さくで写真にもすぐに入ってくれ楽しい一日を過ごせました。

Before arriving at the location, we picked up about 20 Japanese participants, but after we arrived and split into different groups, it ended up being just the two of us in our group with one guide, making a total of three people. The guide explained everything in Japanese, which made us feel at ease. We were able to experience hula lessons, ukulele lessons, making flower leis, and crafting rose flowers with lauhala leaves.
For dinner, we watched a show, but there were mostly Americans and hardly any Japanese (there were a few Chinese). I didn't have high expectations for the taste or content of the meal from the beginning, so it didn't bother me.
As for the show, the fire dance in the second half was spectacular and definitely worth seeing. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the experience.
現地へ行くまでは日本人20名程度をピックアップしていきましたが、到着後コース別に分かれると当コースは私たち2名のみでガイド役が1名の3人での行動となりました。日本語で説明してくれるし安心して回れました。フラレッスン、ウクレレレッスン、生花のレイ作り、ラウラハの葉でバラの花(クラフト)作りなどを体験できました。
夕食はショーを観ながらですが、アメリカ人が多く日本人はほとんどいません(中国人がほんの少し居たが)でした。食事の味や内容は最初から期待していませんでしたので、気になりませんでした。
ショーですが、後半のファイアーダンスは圧巻で一見の価値はあります。
全体としては、ほぼ満足の内容でした。

We easily could have spent all day at the Polynesian Cultural Center, and definitely hope to go back and do so someday! But for our 6-year old daughter, that would have been far too much. She enjoyed the canoe ride, the tattoos, the leaf weaving, and the poi demonstration. She is still talking about the dinner. Us grown-ups also loved the experience. The luau and the after show were exceptional! Far better than a previous, more expensive and over-rated experience on Maui. I think that if you only do one tourist activity on Oahu, this should be it, including the show. The HA show is WELL worth the price!

Four years ago, my mother liked it, so this was our second visit, and I decided to upgrade to Super Ambassador this time.
On the bus ride there, our seats were assigned (there was a paper with our names), and when we arrived, a lovely young lady guided just the two of us. We had front-row seats for the shows at each outdoor village, and during the canoe ride, we were alone while others were in large groups (which was a bit awkward). The meals were supposed to be buffet-style in a separate area, but the staff brought the food to us when we asked.
We had front-row center seats for the show, and during the fire knife performance, it was thick and quite scary.
I think the price is high, but it's perfect for fully enjoying the center, especially for seniors.
4年前に行って母が気に入ったので、2回目となりましたが、以前よりひとつランクをあげてスーパーアンバサダーにしてみました。
行きのバスから席は指定されていて(名前を書いた紙がある)、着いたら感じのよい可愛いお嬢さんが私たちだけを案内してくれ、屋外の各村でのショーを見るときは最前列の席が取ってあり、カヌーは他が大勢乗っている中2人きり(やや気まずいですが)の貸しきり状態ですし、食事は別スペースでほんとはバイキングなのですが、頼めばスタッフが持ってきてくれました。
ショーも最前列の真ん中の席で、ファイヤーナイフの時は厚くて怖いくらいでした。
金額は高いと思いますが、センターを満喫するには、また高齢者には最適です。

This facility is operated by a religious university that also manages a fund to preserve the cultures of the Polynesian countries from around the world. About 70% of the performers are students, with half of them being Japanese exchange students. It was interesting to see the students from six Polynesian countries showcase dances introducing their respective nations, but the final show was truly the highlight. It seems that it wasn't as impressive in the past, but the version that was remade a few years ago is a must-see, featuring a rich story that lasts for a full 1.5 hours. I thought it was just a fire performance, but the content was quite substantial. It's better to choose deluxe seating.
世界各国からホリネシア諸国の文化を維持するための基金を運営することも含め宗教関係の大学が運営する施設。
踊っている出演者のほぼ70%が学生で、そのうち半分が日本人の留学生とのこと。
ポリネシア6カ国の学生がそれぞれの国を紹介する踊りなどを披露するものも面白かったけど、最後のショーがなんと言っても最高でした。昔はそうでもなかったらしいけど、数年前にリメイクされたらしい今回のものは1.5時間たっぷりのストーリー性を持ったもので必見です。

I previously went to Paradise Cove Luau, which is similar to the Polynesian Cultural Center, but over 95% of the guests there were American, and the guides only spoke English. Therefore, I think the Polynesian Cultural Center would be more enjoyable for beginners or those who struggle with English, as it would be less stressful. Definitely go for the show; it's wonderful.

It's a place where you can spend a relaxing day. You can enjoy various experiences, and it's fun for both children and adults all day long. I especially think the luau is great because you can experience ancient Hawaiian culture and cuisine. After the luau, you can watch various Polynesian dances. I love Hawaiian hula; it's very beautiful. You won't get bored staying from morning until night.
一日ゆっくりと過ごせる場所です。色々な体験もできますし子供から大人まで一日楽しめます。とくにルアウは古来ハワイの文化や食事が体験できるので良いと思います。ルアウの後はポリネシアンダンスが色々ご覧になれます。ハワイのフラはとても素敵で大好きです。朝から夜まで居てもあきません。
