Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
HA: Great Show!
Posted on: 2016/02/24

I booked the late entry since we had a cruise in the morning. We had some time to go around a few villages but we wish we booked the all day package. The show was beyond my expectation and they did a superb job putting it together. It was very dramatic and entertaining. You must visit Polynesian Cultural Center when you come to Hawaii.

It was our first experience, and we didn't understand any English at all. We didn't know what was going on at the reception, but they showed us how to operate in Japanese, so we managed to check in somehow! We didn't understand the explanations at all, but we made it through. The staff were kind and friendly! There are no lockers, so it's best to go with minimal luggage! The drive was actually about 30 minutes. But it was fun! I want to participate again!

The horse was bigger than I expected, which surprised me, but it was fine! Along the way, I received various guidance, and the garlic shrimp for lunch was delicious!

Circle Island Sightseeing Tour & Full-Day Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets
Some things good, some things not so much
Activity Date: 2016/02/17 | Posted on: 2016/02/22

For starters, the show Ha! Breath of Life is AMAZING! If nothing else, that is worth a visit.

Ok, so the Circle Island Tour - yeah, you circle (most of) the island and see some cool things (briefly), but you can get circle island tours from pretty much everyone and ended up with about 3 total after all of our activities there over our week. The biggest problem with this Circle Island Tour is that it takes TOO LONG! You're going to want ample time to do the tour, but not when that time cuts into your time at the cultural center.

We did the circle island tour and the ambassador package. By the time we finished the tour and go to the center, did all the ambassador check in crap, and got to start seeing the center, we had already lost at least 1.5 hours of the already short time available to visit the various cultures. The group tour and the guide does help you learn some cool things, but it also makes everything take longer. In the end, we went back a second day so that we could see all the things we missed the first day (maybe that's the point - more $$ from the visitors??).

I don't want to lead you to believe the center is poor. On the contrary, we very much enjoyed the center. The luau was meh. The show was GREAT! We just wouldn't recommend the circle island tour (as it was for us) or the ambassador package (unless you want to buy it for the good seats but ditch the tour guide in the park).

Definitely visit the park, definitely see the show. Consider ditching the tour guide in the park, consider doing the circle island tour with another company or on a different day, and if you see a luau anywhere else, consider skipping it here (it wasn't the best luau we attended).

Note, the 3 stars if for the package, not for the center on the whole. The center was great, we just weren't keen on the package we purchased.

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Posted on: 2016/02/17

I wanted to head out to the North Shore, but did not want to sit on a stodgy bus all day and listen to someone drone on and on. The Surf Bus was the PERFECT choice since I not only got to experience the highlights of the area, but got to do some fun activities as well.

I decided to do Snorkeling, the Waimea Falls nature walk and SUP. Harry was very accommodating about squeezing in two activities for the morning section, and I am so happy that he did. The snorkeling was AMAZING! It was literally like swimming in an aquarium. I got to be in the water for a little over an hour and then I was picked up to go to Waimea Falls Park. The walk was quite easy, and if you have a hard time walking, shuttles are available for $10 round-trip at the park. I didn't go into the water since I just wanted to sit and relax, but the walk to and from the waterfall was about 45 minutes total. REALLY beautiful.

For my afternoon, I chose SUP and even though I had never done it before, I figured it out pretty quickly after the briefing from the guys at the surf store. I never quite made it to the "stand up" part of "stand up paddling", but my "sit up" paddle was just as fun and I made it all the way down the river.

With about an hour left before I had to meet the bus, I had a delicious burger and fries at Teddy's Bigger Burger and washed that all down with some shave ice from Matsumotos (lychee and strawberry YUM!). All in all, a great experience and wonderful way to see the best of the North Shore in a day :)

I participated this time with two colleagues from my company. S-san, who guided us (I'll keep the name confidential just in case), provided really attentive service! They explained the highlights of each area clearly, and we had a great time! Thank you for your help at the garlic shrimp restaurant in Haleiwa until we placed our order.

On the way back, we were able to get off at Ala Moana Shopping Center if we wanted, which saved us time and was very appreciated since our stay was short.

The guidance was very thorough, so I recommend it for first-time visitors to Hawaii!☆

今回会社の同期と3人で参加させて頂きました。

One Ocean Diving Hawaii Shark Dive on Oahu & Snorkel Tour Experience
There are simply no words to describe the awesomeness!
Posted on: 2016/02/09

My friend and I were completely freaking out before we went out on this tour, but afterwards, we just wanted to go again and again! There is nothing as strangely calming and thrilling than to be in the open ocean with what seems likes hundreds of sharks swimming below you.

With only six passengers, we all got lots of attention and assistance, and during the ride out, our safety guides told us all about the sharks and other creatures we would see as well as what to do while we are in the water. There was not a moment after I boarded the boat that I felt uneasy or unsafe. I knew that the captain and crew had not only our best interests at heart, but the sharks as well.

It was a humbling experience to be in the shark's home and it is something that I will treasure forever!

- If you arrange for transportation, it will be $60 per person, so you can cover the rental car cost.
- We arrived in about an hour from Honolulu.
- We had the early morning plan and departed before sunrise.
- We were the second group, but just before entering the water, the sun rose and it got warm.
- We didn't encounter anything other than the sandbar shark.
- We were packed into a cage with six people, so there were a lot of us and we couldn't move freely.

・送迎を手配すると60ドル×人なのでレンタカー代が捻出できます
・ホノルルから約1時間で到着しました
・朝イチのプランで日の出前の出港でした
・2組目でしたが、ちょうど入水前に日の出があり暖かくなりました
・イタチザメ以外には出会えませんでした

It's been decades since I last participated. Last time I went with the standard option, but this time I chose the deluxe package, and I had a wonderful tour with a very beautiful student as my guide. The chief of Samoa was as entertaining as ever. The food wasn't anything special, but the show was even more interesting since I participated in the backstage tour beforehand.

数十年ぶりの参加です。前回はスタンダードだったので今回はデラックスにしましたが、とっても綺麗な学生さんがツアーガイドについてくださり、とても楽しいツアーでした。サモアの酋長さんも相変わらず面白い。食事はたいしたことないですが、ショウはバックステージツアーに参加してから観たのでよけいに面白かったです。

Hawaii's "must-try" optional tours
ハワイの「一押し」オプショナルツアー
Activity Date: 2016/01/08 | Posted on: 2016/02/01

I would like to introduce a great value optional tour among the many available in Hawaii. This time, I focused on "Horseback Riding in Hawaii!" while comparing various optional tours. And what I found was this plan!

1. First, the iconic "This Tree, What Tree" at "Moanalua Gardens" (it’s said that the Moanalua Gardens tour will no longer be available after April 2016, so be sure to see it soon).
2. Next, enjoy Hawaii's specialty pineapple at the "Dole Plantation."
3. Then, at the "North Shore," encounter the elusive "sea turtles" (they were huge! I could almost ride on their backs).
4. For lunch, we had a recommendation from our guide for a hidden gem "delicious shrimp restaurant" (so good! Lightly seasoned for $11).
5. The much-anticipated "horseback riding"… Unlike other horseback riding optional tours that just walk along the coast for 40 minutes, this tour takes you through varied landscapes like hills, valleys, and bamboo groves, allowing you to enjoy the rhythm of the horse for a full 90 minutes in nature. Local staff support you at the front and back of the line, ensuring safety. The horses are wild yet generally calm, and there were many female groups participating (however, those over 100 kg are not allowed; we don’t want to hurt the horses).

**Note:** If you ride properly, there are no issues, but if you mess around or let go of the reins (like taking photos), you could fall off and get seriously injured (which is why you have to sign a waiver before riding).

So, how much is this packed tour? An incredible $165 per person! (Of course, it includes a Japanese-speaking guide, tips, and hotel pickup). You will really understand how great of a deal this plan is if you take the time to compare it with other tours!

Let’s not be lazy and look for "other tours" too! That way, you’ll realize that "what Yamachan said was true." If you find any other great deals, please let me know! Let’s share good information! Aloha~

◆数あるハワイの「オプショナルツアー」で、お得感のある(支払に対して満足感が高い)ツアーを紹介します。今回は「ハワイで乗馬!」を主目的に、様々なオプショナルツアーを比較しながら探しました。そして見つけたのがこのプラン! ①まずお決まりの「この木なんの木」の「モアナルアガーデン」(2016年4月以降はモアナルアガーデンツアーは無くなる、との事で早めに見納め)②続いて「ドールプランテーション」にてハワイ特産のパイナップルを堪能 ③続いて「ノースショア」にて、遭遇が難しい「うみがめ」対面(デカッ! いました いました 背中に乗れそう)④昼食はガイドさん推薦の「隠れ家的」な「絶品シュリンプ料理店(うまい!あっさり味付けで11ドル)」⑤お待ちかね「乗馬」…海岸沿いをただ、てくてく歩く「他の乗馬オプショナルツアー(40分)」と違い、このツアーは起伏に富んだ「山あいや谷?や竹やぶ等、いわゆる自然の中を悠々と馬の鼓動を聞きながら(それも90分ですぞ!)、乗馬を楽しむツアーです。サポートも現地スタッフが隊列の前後につき安心。馬も野性味があってスリリングですが総じておとなしく、女性グループも多かったです。(ただし100㎏以上の人はNG 馬さんかわいそうだもんね)【注意点】・キチンと乗れば全然問題なしでも、ふざけたり、手を離したり(カメラ撮影等)してると落馬して大怪我します(そのため、乗馬前に「免責証書を書かされる」)
ハイッ! ここまで盛りだくさんツアーでお値段は? な、な、なんと一人165ドル!(もちろん日本語ガイドさん付き、チップ込みでホテル送迎付き)このプランがいかにお得(安い)かは、いろいろ時間をかけて「他」のツアーを探して比較してみれば よ~くわかります!
横着せずに「他のツアー」も探しましょうね!そうすれば、「やまちゃんが言っていた事は本当だったんだ」と分かります。もし、他にお得なツアーがあれば、また教えてください!良い情報は共有していきましょう! アロハ~

Two young women in our tour group mistakenly miscalculated the meeting time, causing us to wait for about 30 minutes. The tour driver, in front of the other passengers, forcefully and aggressively said, "Apologize!!" which instantly darkened the mood. It really dampened the travel spirit we had.

Whether this was due to a lack of prior explanation or unclear communication with the two women (only verbal), I believe there is some fault on the part of the tour company regarding the itinerary. Shifting all the responsibility onto us does not absolve them of their own accountability. I hope there will be no further troubles in the future.

ツアー同行者で若い2名の女性が途中の集合時間を間違えて、30分程度待たしてしてしまった、ツアーのドラバーがほかの同乗者もいる面前で「誤ってください!!」と強く強圧的な言い方でその場が一瞬で気分的にも暗くなってしまい、せっかくの旅行気分に水を差されました。
事前の説明不足によるものか、2名とのやり取りが不明(口頭のみ)ですが、ツアーの工程については業者側にも落ち度があるのではないでしょうか、一方的な責任のん押しつけでは責任回避を免れません。今後のトラブルの無いことをお祈りしています。

Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets with Island Villages, Canoe Ride, Buffet Dinner & HĀ Show Options
Ok, but not must do
Activity Date: 2015/12/26 | Posted on: 2016/01/19
BKB

The concept of this park is good but we were disappointed overall because one cannot complete this park truly in 1 day as they open from noon till 5 PM only. You need more than 1 day and it's not close to Waikiki. The overall park is good in terms of exhibit and shows and has lot to take in, it's a good way to preserve and exhibit various Polynesian culture but they should consider opening longer hours. Also do not get caught up into buying morning lunch to get 30 mins early entry if you arrive around 11:30 as you will end up being last entering the actual park as you will be waiting in line to get seated for buffet style lunch. The lunch and dinner included has plenty of options if you are not vegetarian or vegan, otherwise totally can be skipped.

Splurge
Activity Date: 2015/12/21 | Posted on: 2016/01/16

With all the choices to spend your money in Oahu, you may want to conserve your spending. However, I had one do-over, this would be it.

The PCC is organized by hundreds and they provide entertainment and food to thousands daily. My advise is to spurge to avoid the wait-times but also because the service and selection is significant. The dinner and night show was a great performance and I think it is worth the extra dollars for better food and better seats.

Had I known, I would have avoided the negative side of economy seats and food, and the terrible customer service that didn't allow a willing customer to pay for an upgrade.

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation
Don't be scared - This is a MUST!!
Posted on: 2016/01/14

OK, so the idea of going to 'find' sharks as opposed to avoiding them at all costs can take a little getting used to. However once I'd gotten over that, I have to say this is one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had (and enjoyed) on the island.
There's two basic times that you can go out, Super early or Early, Yes that's right, Don't plan on a late night in the bar the night before trying to drum up Dutch courage because this boat leaves early and you want to get your sleep in.

After a leisurely 20-25 mins boat ride out (i think they said about 2 miles) to the dive site you arrive in an open water area, engines are cut and you pull up next to the cage. A quick chat from the crew, and two groups are selected A & B, This ensures you have maximum space in the cage and is a really cool idea.

We climbed in first, GoPro's on and ready to start shooting...

The cage is actually rather large and you definitely want to be up close to the bars hold on, and go down to get your first glimpse... I'm not going to say much more on what you'll see but I will say, This is a guaranteed sharks (plural, many lol) shark tank dive. They big, upclose and personal and you are totally safe in your secure housing...

You get ample time to take selfies, group shots, dive down again, hold the bottom of the cage etc as these amazing creatures swim all around you.

I'd forgot my wrist strap for my cam, No problem, The crew guy noticed as I was getting ready ad gave me a cool wrist-strap for it (thick rubber band!) Awesome Service.

Highly Recommended. 5*

My husband, parents and I really enjoyed the sunset dinner ride. The only thing I wish we could have done was gallop or even cantor a bit. If you are a new rider or inexperienced, this is perfect for you. The views were breathtaking and the guide was great. The food was decent, however when we got done we realized we didn't get the corn on the cob or the pie that was advertised in the add. What we did get was steak, shrimp, rice, macaroni salad, fresh fruit and we made smores over the fire. The best was the fruit and the smores. Overall it was really fun and a great experience.

The tour itself was really fun. The North Shore is famous for its high waves and surfing, so the ride to the destination was quite bumpy. Even I, who usually doesn't get seasick, felt a bit unwell. There were about 4 to 5 other people who also looked like they were feeling sick, and some were even vomiting. If you're joining the tour, don't forget to bring motion sickness medication.

ツアー自体はすごく楽しかったです。ノースショアはサーフィンで有名な高波のビーチなので、目的地まで向かう間はかなり揺れます。普段、船酔いしない私でも気分が悪くなりました。
自分以外にも4~5人気分の悪そうな方がいましたし、吐いている方もおられました。ツアーに参加される方は酔い止めをお忘れなく。

Our guide, Maki, was very kind and attentive. The roads in Hawaii are not very good, and combined with the uncomfortable bus ride, I experienced a bit of motion sickness. It would have been better if the bus windows were a little cleaner. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, there were many things to see and do, and we spent a very rich time there. It started to rain during our visit, but we were helped by receiving a free vinyl poncho. The behind-the-scenes tour included in the deluxe course is a must-see. The roast beef for dinner was delicious. It would have been even better if alcohol had been included.

ガイドのマキさん、とても親切で気の利く方でした。ハワイの道があまり良くないのと、バスの乗り心地が悪いのが相まって、少々車酔いしました。バスの窓がもう少し掃除して綺麗だと良かったです。ポリネシア文化センターでは見たりやったりが沢山で、かなり濃い時間を過ごしました。途中、雨が降ってきましたが、ビニールのポンチョを無料で頂けたので助かりました。デラックスコースに付いている、舞台裏の見学は必見です。夕食のローストビーフは美味でした。これでアルコールがOKならもっと良かったのですが。

Discover Oahu’s North Shore from Waikiki with The Surf Bus - Snorkel, Kayak, SUP & Waimea Falls
Expectations...
Activity Date: 2015/05/16 | Posted on: 2016/01/11

I mentioned this before on the phone. This was fun, but was only able to do one activity. Unfortunately the ad misleads you into thinking you can do whatever activities, whenever. You are allowed to swim, snorkel, bike ride or hike in the morning. Then you can either surf(which you cant cause it will cost you more when you never did it, apparently you have to take a lesson before using their boards), kayak, or stand up paddleboard in the afternoon. It just was a disappointment to have an expectaion of what to get for my day, then not do it. In other words, two spereate locations for the morning and afternoon activities, so majority of your time is traveling. Which is fine, but also would of have a different opinion. Knowing what i know now, i probably would never choosen this activity.
I missed the bus to go to the afternoon location, needless to say i was given the wrong time by tourist, but honsestly by the time i got there, i was out of time. One thing that is odd is the memory game, being dropped off somwhere and being picked up elsewhere. However, the people that works at the snorkel rental place, especially that young kid, clueless to his surroundings. Knew who i was & i who else i was there with in regards of the other party on the tour bus & couldnt inform me of the other party making it back. So knowing the time i had to be picked up, this kid not being observant and missing the bus is all my fault, right? So thanks for that! I had to wait for the city bus to pick me up to find out where the tour bus was to get back on it.
All in all, i only did one activity and did a lot of sitting & waiting around. Snorkeling was fun, but was my excitement was short lived with the turmoil. I had fun snorkeling, and thats about it. Oh yeah, dont worry, ill take care of that bus fare!

We are sorry you got the pick up times mixed up and were forced to catch a city bus to catch up , therefore missing your second activity. Normally we have other drivers on the North Shore and could have expatiated things so sorry for that too.PLEASE GIVE US A FUTURE DATE TO COMP YOU THE TOUR SO WE CAN SHOW YOU WHAT ITS REALLY LIKE.
P.S; FOR SAFTEY REASONS SURFING IS THE ONLY ACTIVITY WHICH IF YOU HAVE NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE WE REQUIRE YOU DO A LESSON. Those with some prior experience may surf with our basic package pricing.

Since I attend a riding club, I found the horseback riding a bit lacking in terms of riding experience. Instead of riding along the beach, we rode steadily along the coastline. I thought 40 minutes would be short, but it actually turned out to be nearly an hour of enjoyment. The scenery was lovely and very much like Hawaii, making it a great experience.

I also got to enjoy the garlic shrimp from Macky's, which is difficult to reach on your own, and I was able to try Matsumoto Shave Ice! Shopping at the cute shops in Haleiwa was also fun, so this tour was quite fulfilling.

Moreover, I got to see a sea turtle!!! And I must say, the guide was quite a character (laughs). At first, I was a bit confused, but he created a fun atmosphere and was very knowledgeable about Hawaii. The vibe in the car during the transfers was friendly and cheerful. Since the travel time was long, the atmosphere was important. Looking back, I feel lucky to have had him as our guide.

This is a highly recommended tour where you can enjoy about half of what Hawaii has to offer! Thank you!

乗馬クラブに通ってるので、乗馬という意味では物足りないです。浜辺ではなく、海岸沿いをひたすら常足での騎乗でした。40分は短いかなと思ってましたが、実際は1時間近かく楽しめました。景色がハワイらしく素敵なのでいい体験になります。
自力で行くことが難しいマッキーズのガーリックシュリンプもいただくことが出来ましたし、マツモトシェイブアイスもトライ出来ました!(^^)!ハレイワの可愛いショップでショッピングも楽しめるので、このツアーはかなり充実しています。
それにウミガメにも逢えました!!!
そして何といっても、ガイドさんがけっこう強烈な方で(笑)最初は???と思いましたが、楽しい雰囲気を作って下さるハワイを熟知した方で、移動中の車内は和気あいあいとしていてました。移動時間が長いので、空気感も大事ですね。終わってみればこの方でラッキーだったと思いました。
こちらでハワイの半分位は楽しめちゃったお勧めのツアーです(^_-)-☆
ありがとうございます♪

クライムワークス・ケアナファーム ジップライン体験(3時間) オアフ島最長800メートルのラインでノースショアの大自然と絶景を満喫!送迎付きプランあり<7本>

The zip line was physically demanding, but it was exciting and fun! The friendliness of the staff and the enjoyable atmosphere were also very good. My whole family said they were glad to participate.

The start was terrible as we waited 30 minutes for the bus. It was stated that if it didn't arrive in 10 minutes, we should call, so I did, but since it was in English, the conversation didn't go well. I called twice. During the second call, I was told to wait another 10 minutes, and after 30 minutes, the bus finally arrived. The voucher said to wait in front of the Ilikai Hotel, but the pickup was in front of the road, not at the entrance. Also, instead of calling me by name, they shouted "Zip line!" and I almost didn't realize it in time, which was scary.

Once we arrived, the staff were very friendly and created a fun atmosphere. With gestures, I could generally understand what they were saying in English!

First, we registered our profiles and consent on a wall-mounted PC screen. We had to leave all our belongings behind and participate with just our bodies. It was mandatory to use the restroom before joining.

We moved around the site in a jeep, and it was fun with the bumpy ride that splashed mud everywhere.

After that, we slid down the zip line, starting with the staff demonstrating how it’s done. Then, two people at a time took turns sliding. Before sliding, the staff communicated via walkie-talkie to inform each other of who was going next. The instructions before sliding were precise, which made me feel safe.

There are two ways to slide: fast and slow, and they provided a briefing on this. We slid down seven lines, doing various styles including upside down.

The course included climbing down with ropes, using arm strength to pull ourselves up, and a suspension bridge. We also had bananas and nuts to eat and could drink water, making it feel like an obstacle course. There were two zip line options in Hawaii, one in Croatia and this one, but we chose this one because it seemed more fun. I think we made the right choice.

While enjoying the zip line, I was impressed by the staff's skill and professionalism.

I believe my whole family enjoyed it. As a gesture of gratitude, I gave a small tip to two staff members I was able to identify during the tour. After finishing, it seems they go on break, so it’s best to give tips right away if you want to.

Thank you very much.

ジップライン、体力使いましたがエキサイティングで楽しかったです!
スタッフさんのフレンドリーさと楽しい雰囲気もとても良かったです。
家族みんな参加して良かったと言っていました。

スタートは最悪でバスを30分待ちました。10分待ってこなかったら電話と記載があったのでかけましたが、英語なので会話が成立しません。2回も電話かけました。2回目に10分待つように言われて、30分待ちで来ましたが、バウチャーはイリカイホテルの玄関前とありましたが、迎えに来たのはホテル前の道路の前で玄関前には来ませんでした。また「●●さん」と名前で呼ばずに、「ジップライン!」と叫ばれてすぐに気が付かず、乗り遅れなくて良かった。怖い・・と思いました。

現地に付いたら、スタッフさんはとてもフレンドリーで楽しい雰囲気で、ゼスチャーもあるのか英語なのに何を言ってらっしゃるのかが大体解りました!

最初にプロフィールと承諾を壁掛けのPC画面で登録します。
持物は全てあずけて身体一つ。必ずトイレをしてから参加です。

ジープで敷地内を移動しますが、泥が飛んでくるくらいグネグネ運転で楽しかったです。

その後ジップラインを滑走しますが、最初まずスタッフさんが滑って見本を見せてくれます。
その後順番に2名ずつ滑走します。滑走前にはスタッフさんがトランシーバーで連絡を取り合い、誰が滑るかを名前を伝えています。滑る前の滑走の手順も正確で安心して滑れました。

滑り方には速く滑る方法と、ゆっくり滑る方法があります。これをレクチャーしてくれます。
7本滑りましたが、逆さになったり、いろんな滑り方をしました。

コースの中には、上から縄で下に降りたり、下から上に腕力を使って自分を引上げたり、吊り橋があったり、途中バナナやナッツも食べたり、水を飲めたりアスレチックのようでした。
ジップラインはハワイでクロアチアと2つあったのですが、こちらの方がコースが楽しそうだったので私達はこちらを選びました。多分正解でした。

ジップラインを楽しむとともに、スタッフさんの滑走の上手さや仕事ぶりが素晴らしく関心してしまいました。

家族みんな楽しめたと思います。感謝の気持ちを込めて、一緒に回ったスタッフさんで発見できたスタッフさん2名にチップを少しお渡ししました。終了すると休憩に入られるみたいで姿がすぐにいらっしゃる場所が解らなくなりますので、渡したい方はすぐに渡したほうが良いです。

ありがとうございました。

We participated as a family of four. Our 12-year-old and 8-year-old sons rode alone as well. In 1 hour and 15 minutes, we enjoyed a magnificent view and were very satisfied. Along the way, there were changes in the path, and there were some thrilling spots too. It became an unforgettable experience.
At the ranch, there were free-range donkeys and wild peacocks, and it was fun to interact with them.

家族四人で参加しました。12才と8才の息子もひとりで乗りました。1時間15分で、雄大な景色の中を周り大満足。途中、道にも変化があり、少しスリルのあるところもありました。一生忘れられない経験になりました。
牧場には、放し飼いのロバや、野生の孔雀がいて、触れ合いが楽しかったです。

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
PCC experience
Activity Date: 2015/12/30 | Posted on: 2016/01/02

The shows are very good. The night show could be better explained. May be a printed program to explain each dance, the meaning and connection to the story line. The dinner show is good too . The MC is wonderful but it will be good to have some quiet moment for table conversation and not so rushed to eat. But this is just our view for your consideration. Overall, it was a good experience.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show
Best Guided Tour EVER! Two Thumbs up WAY UP...
Activity Date: 2015/12/29 | Posted on: 2016/01/01

I really had no idea of what was in store for my wife and I when I signed up for the Super Ambassador Full Day Package with Private guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center, it turned out to be the best guided tour we could have ever anticipated! The comfortable Motor Coach picked us up promptly at our designated hotel location. The motor coach driver and guide were gracious and told us various facts, pointed out points of interest along the way, and set the tone for the rest of the day that would be spent at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

When we arrived the group was given their designated tickets and soon our guide a student of BYU University and from the Philippines introduced himself. Datz began our tour and skillfully navigated us through each of the Polynesian Islands exhibits granting us front row seats to each show, gave us back stage tours, and overall made this one of the best tours I have ever been on! We were delighted to experience the rich cultural heritages of each island group, ate fantastic food at the Luau, and were fascinated with the finale show "Ha' The Breath of Life".

Two thumbs up WAY up! Would I recommend this Super Ambassador Package with Private Guide? Absolutely!

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch
Awesome
Activity Date: 2015/12/29 | Posted on: 2016/01/01
Ken

The hike was one of the highlights of my trip. I loved the river crossings even though the river made all of my clothes really wet and went up to my chest, since I am only 4'11". Keola taught us many Hawaiian words including freshwater, wai, saltwater, Kai, and Life, Keola. He was very knowledgable about the history of the island and the Kamehameha family. The best part was probably talking with our fellow hikers and the small lake where we ate lunch. We will definitely do one of the other tours as well.
