I had been to Dole Plantation before, but I had never been inside the farm, so it was great to see the process from harvesting to packing. There seemed to be a lot of manual work from planting to harvesting, which looked tough, but the workers waved cheerfully at us when they saw us. The guide not only taught us various things but also made a great effort to ensure we had fun, allowing us to enjoy the day. While it's nice to enjoy the maze and train at Dole Plantation, I think the farm tour across the street gave us a better sense of Hawaii.

ドールプランテーションには行ったことはありましたが
農園の中には行ったことがなかったので、収穫から箱詰めまでの工程を見ることが出来て
とてもよかったです。
植え付けから収穫まで手作業が多く、大変そうでしたが作業している人たちは我々を見ると明るく手を振ってくれました。
ガイドさんはいろいろなことを教えてくれただけでなく、我々が楽しめるようにすごく気を遣ってくれたこともあり、楽しく１日過ごすことが出来ました。
ドールプランテーションで迷路や汽車を楽しむのも良いですが、向かいにある農園見学の方が、よりハワイを感じられてよかったと思います。

Coming from Alaska, It was an awesome experience to see different cultures.

My son and I learned so much about the polynesian people and their culture and pride in their ancestry and the spokes person for each island was both funny and informative. I would definitely do this again and the life of breath show was amazing, sat on the front row and a few performers shook our hands after the show!

The hospitality was amazing and the food was great! Worth every penny!

What a top-tier luau in a beautiful setting at Waimea Valley! Highly recommended

Fantastisk oplevelse. Vi prøvede også for 18 år siden. Grunden til kun 4 stjerner er, at der er for kort tid til at opleve det hele. Vi kom sent derop pga vejarbejde (men havde en fantastisk chauffør), så show på vandet er godt igang og alle pladser optaget.
Der var flere rækker tomme sæder ved det store aftenshow. Hvorfor ikke lade andre sidde der, så de ser bedre?

We'll scheduled. Both drivers were really nice and friendly.

Enjoyed the fact that we were able to learn about the different cultures and languages.

We enjoyed learning about the different cultures. The best one was Samoa. The chief had us laughing the entire time. We even bought his paintings afterwards and he signed them. The buffet dinner was amazing. I recommend getting a tour guide as they can give you more information and take you through all the villages quicker.

Activité à ne pas manquer! Chaque site était extraordinaire, beaucoup d’informations , très culturel! Le spectacle en fin de soirée à lui seul vaut le prix du billet, à couper le souffle

Je le recommande a tous

My family and I had a great time during the tour and enjoyed all the places we visited, except the Dole plantation which we think they should take out of the tour and visit Haleiwa town instead.
Our guide, Kainoa, was fantastic. He knows a lot about the history of Hawaii.

It was the best time we have had. Learned a lot about how they grow pineapple 🍍

Authentic and warm. Food was also excellent. Location was great

really wonderful and personal tour, the horses are well cared for and loved!

This venue Is jam packed with things to do and see! Each village area representing an island of Polynesian was so informative and filled with fun activities. The students that perform are absolutely wonderful.
We were so impressed by the grand buffet, so much incredibly wonderful food.
The HA Breath of life performance was amazing! The driver of our bus that we went on told us that this show was one of the most authentic depictions of Polynesian culture on the whole island! I concur 100%

This was my first luau and I really didn't know what to expect. I was greatly impressed with the quality of the program, the enthusiasm of the performers and the outstanding cuisine we enjoyed for the meal. The evening with the Toa Luau group was an unforgettable highlight to our visit to Hawaii. In addition to the luau, we had the opportunity to hike to the waterfall while enjoying the beauty of the botanical garden. As I said, the whole experience was unforgettable.

5/5 stars! The Polynesian Cultural Center Tour was a trip highlight! Well-organized, easy to follow, and bursting with energy. The setting was perfection!

The care, attention, quality, cleanliness, and authenticity made for an unbelievable experience. My family and I left very happy and ready to recommend to everyone. You get what you pay for.

It was a good day, but there is a LOT going on. You could probably break it up into 2 days as the pass lets you come back for the day-time events.

The Polynesian cultural centre was one of the best experiences ever. It was my family’s first time, we just loved it and we hope to go back in the future.

It was good, but no alcohol so I would have went to another luau!

Beautiful gardens, well laid out trails
The luau and show was outstanding. So fun and informative too. 5 star + show and staff.
A great meal too. Thank you

Andrew is the best. He lets us see turtle head! I love it a lot.

Overall, excellent experience. The show was awesome showing the traditional style of dances and performances of the Hawaiian culture. The buffet itself had many selections to choose and eat. The most highlight of the show was the HA breath of life where it was the fire rings twisted by several different men on the show which was pretty cool. We also did the islands of Polynesia 2 hour guided tour where we sat down and peeled bananas and coconut looking like materials with the dressed up villagers on site.

It was too long of a day! Our bus left PCC after 9:20pm which meant we got back to Waikīkī almost 11pm. The day was great but the ending with the timing of the bus was a sour note.

My husband and I had a fantastic day at the polynesian culture centre.
We went to many of the activities and to the Gateway dinner. We felt it was excellent and a beautiful display plus we learnt a lot.
Thank you all so very much...
I was particularly wishing to go to a Luau and that was what I thought I booked from Australia before we went.....however discovered while there that I had booked the Gateway dinner. Bit disappointed but the dinner was lovely and the whole experience fantastic!!! Thank you all so much...

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a “must have adventure” that we would highly recommend from couples to families. We spent a day and enjoyed every second of it. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and kept it quiet but loved the experience of the Tahitian wedding ceremony where we renewed our promise. The food experience was outstanding, we tried a lot of food that we never tried before. The raw tuna was our favourite. 1 day was not enough to have the time to have some art workshop to do and sadly we couldn’t go back to have an Okulele session.
Thank you for the experience of our lifetime. Tia and Zoltan from Ireland

It was a really great ground, but you will be tired after exploring PCC.

The kids had a lot of fun, we think we would skip next but its worth it one time!

Dexter did a great job showing us around and getting everyone where they needed to be on time.
