This was our first time to the islands as a family and the Circle Tour and Polynesian Cultural Center was a great way to start our trip. The Polynesian Cultural Center was so cool learning about all the different Polynesian cultures and customs. We would definitely recommend this to anyone else visiting the islands. The canoe show was great!

In Japan, I was able to immerse myself in the magnificent nature, forgetting the time while feeling the pleasant sunlight and breeze. It was an incredibly happy time, and my mother, who joined me, was very satisfied as well. My father, an experienced rider, participated in the advanced course and was also thrilled with horseback riding in Hawaii's stunning nature. Most importantly, I was overjoyed to see my 2-year-old son experience horseback riding for the first time during the 20-minute introductory course, which made me feel his growth. My wife, who had said she might ride if our son couldn't, ultimately didn't get to ride, but she was satisfied watching our son on the horse. Thanks to the very friendly staff, we had the best time.
日本では身を置くことができない雄大な自然の中で、時間を忘れて気持ちの良い日差しと風を感じることができました。それはとにかく幸せな時間で、一緒に参加した母も大満足でした。また、経験者である父が上級者コースに参加しましたが、父もハワイの雄大な自然の中での乗馬に大満足していましたし、何と言っても20分の体験コースで生まれて初めて乗馬を体験した2才の息子の姿を見て、成長を感じられたことが何よりも嬉しかったです。息子が乗れなかったら乗ればいいかなと言っていた妻は、結果的に乗ることができませんでしたが、息子の乗馬姿に満足していましたし、とっても感じの良いスタッフのおかげで最高の時間を過ごすことができました。

The luau itself was amazing. My family and I enjoyed participating in the pre show activities while learning about true polynesian culture and traditions. It's a smaller luau with only about 200 guests but with the smaller number of patrons you really get to interact and learn from everyone involved.
The host for the activities, Uncle Bob, has a great sense of humor as do the men that do the "cooking" and food prep demonstrations. These men are no joke, they even climbed up the coconut trees. They teach you about a traditional tribe welcoming and uses the guests to act as the tribes while explaining the rituals associated with welcoming guests to their community.
Not a huge selection of foods to sample but everything there was delicious. Kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, macaroni salad, green salad with macadamia nuts, rice, rolls, chantilly cake from Teds Bakery and a coconut type of jello dessert.
The family band that played music during dinner was Amazing. Those kids can really sing! The dancing was very traditional, not just girls in coconut bras and hula skirts, but real polynesian dancing showcasing dances from a variety of the polynesian islands. I was a VIP guest and we were right at eye level with the stage but it looked like most people would have quite a good view of the stage. We also got to go to the buffet first and got great souvenirs. My husband and I got hand fans, my son got a wooden Maui-type hook necklace and my daughter got a wood beaded bracelet that said Hawaii with hibiscus flowers printed on it. After dinner and show on your way out you were able to speak more with the staff and dancers and take pictures with them.
If it was your birthday we all sang happy birthday and you got an extra piece of cake, if it was your anniversary or honeymoon they brought you onstage for a slow dance and gave you a nut lei.
All this plus you get entry into the Waimea valley where you can swim in a waterfall and see beautiful trees and foliage!
Aloha, and mahalo mui for your review. We are review. We are pleased to know that you had the best time at the luau. It is with delight that we read your review of your luau, which we have planned to be an Interactive one. I by the way also hope the band played and sang Blue Bayou. That song, sang by an of the kids is a real tear jerker.

The Toa Luau was a great first luau for our family (30 to 60 year olds). Waimea Valley itself is beautiful; definitely come at least 2 hours early to be able to walk to the waterfall and enjoy the scenery. The pre-luau activities like weaving grass head bands, husking coconuts etc were fun. The show itself was fantastic too - they performed authentic ceremonies and dances from different Polynesian islands. The host was hilarious! Only slight downside was the food was only mediocre. We are all vegetarian and our main entree was bland quinoa; but we were happy there was even a vegetarian option (you have to request ahead of time though). Overall this luau is definitely worth it and we will recommend it to all of our family and friends!!
Aloha, and mahalo for your review! We are glad you had fun at the luau although it looks like we need to work on our menu. When you come back to do the luau please let us know beforehand so we could make preparations for you to have a better meal. We hope to see you soon!

There are few activities that small children can do, and this place has a calm atmosphere with fewer people. The staff was kind, and we were able to enjoy it as a family. Even those who don't ride can walk alongside, allowing for photos during the ride. It became a wonderful memory, spending time exclusively as a family rather than in a group like at places such as Kualoa Ranch.
小さな子供ができる数少ないアクティビティで人も少なくゆっくりとした雰囲気でスタッフの方も優しくて家族で楽しむことが出来ました。乗馬しない方も歩いて付き添う事が出来るので乗馬中の写真なども撮ることができます。クアロアランチのように団体で、ではなく家族オンリーの時間を過ごす事ができる素敵な思い出になりました。

This was our first time in Oahu and first time at a Luau. Highly recommend Toa
Luau. We arrived a few hours early since ticket includes admission to the Waimea Valley Gardens and Falls. Bring swimsuits and take a dip into the waterfalls at the end of the valley! We walked back to the Luau in time for the fun activities and 'pre-Luau' events includes crafts. We attended as a couple but this would be wonderful for families. The Luau then began with an amazing show complete with dancing and fire! Cousin Billy our host was entertaining and hospitable--the entire experience has a 'family' welcoming vibe. The food was good with a variety of choices. Because we were on our honeymoon Cousin Bill called up all the anniversaries/honeymoon couples for a special gift and blessing which was so special to us. We would definitely return this time with our family! Great job Toa Luau we'll be back!

The oldest participant was 69 years old, and the youngest was 2 years old. We were looking for activities that everyone could enjoy, and we requested this horseback riding experience. The local staff do not speak Japanese, but they are friendly and kind, using gestures to communicate, so I think even those who are not good at English will be fine.
First, they asked if we wanted to wear helmets, and if we chose not to, we were asked to sign a consent form. Then, under the guidance of Sheina, my 2-year-old daughter rode a pony while the adults rode larger horses, taking a leisurely 20-minute walk in a single file through the grasslands and bushes. The horses ridden by the adults would sometimes stop to eat grass, so we had to kick the stirrups to encourage them to move forward, or pull the reins to bring them back into line if they started to walk too fast. It was a very valuable experience to operate the horse by ourselves for the first time.
At the end, my daughter was allowed to brush and feed the pony she was riding, and she was overjoyed (laughs). Even after returning home, she keeps talking about the pony (laughs). The only downside is that there is no transportation provided, so we had to make our own way to the North Shore. However, since we really wanted to go to Gunstock Ranch, we decided to charter a guided car and combine it with a tour of Haleiwa.
The grounds are vast, and the scenery seen while riding the horses is incredibly beautiful. The pleasant breeze and climate were very soothing. I would like to visit again when I come to Hawaii.
最年長は69歳、最年少は2歳、みんなでできるアクティビティーを探していてこちらの乗馬体験をお願いしました。
現地の方は日本語が話せないのですが、フレンドリーで親切な身振り手振りで教えてくれるので英語が苦手な方でも大丈夫だと思います。
最初にヘルメットをかぶるか聞かれて、かぶらない場合は同意書にサインを求められます。
そしてシェイナさんの先導で2歳の娘はポニー、大人は大きな馬に乗って草原や茂みを約20分一列縦隊でお散歩するのですが、大人の乗る馬は途中で草を食べ始めたり止まったりするので、その都度あぶみを蹴って前進を促したり、逆に早足になったら手綱を引いて列に戻るよう促したりと、自分で馬を操作するなんて初めてのとても貴重な体験をさせていただきました。
最後は2歳の娘が乗っていたポニーにブラッシングやえさやりをさせてくれて、娘は大喜び(笑)帰国してもずっとポニーの話をしています(笑)
唯一の難点は、送迎がないのでノースショア方面まで自分で行かなければいけないことですが、どうしてもガンストック牧場でお願いしたかったのでガイド付きの車をチャーターしてハレイワ観光とセットで行くことにしました。
敷地が広大で馬に乗って見る景色は大変美しく、心地よい風と気候で癒されました。またハワイに訪れる際は立ち寄りたいと思います。

Horseback riding in Hawaii. There are various options, but this was the only place I found that allows small children to ride, so I made a request. I thought it would be a short experience, more like a child's play (laughs), but to my surprise... we got to ride on a big, adorable horse and explore the mountain trails!
It was a unique experience that you can't have in Japan, and I really enjoyed it. My 2-year-old daughter fell asleep, so her dad rode instead. I had only made a reservation for my grandchild, but they easily accommodated changing it to one adult for my grandchild and adding another adult.
Next time, we plan to go on a trip with just the grandparents, and I want to go horseback riding at Turtle Bay, where we went for our honeymoon (laughs). It will be next New Year's, so I hope to see you then!
ハワイで乗馬。色々有るけど小さな子供の乗れる乗馬はここしか見つからず、お願いしました。時間も短いし、子供騙し(笑)的な感じで乗るんだろうなぁ~と思いきや……

Our stops were just the right amount of time to allow us to take pictures and explore a little. My personal favorite was Hanauma Bay - such a beautiful view.

This is a must do experience if one wants to know more about the Polynesian Culture!
My friends and I got the Ambassador package and was extremely amazed with how all the performers, guides and crew were doing everything with so much heart and passion! There is no lying on how one consistently feels so intrigued with learning about another culture.
Despite this being a manicured and curated tourist attraction with a make-believe setting, it doesn't disappoint. Being called "family" all the time does make the entire experience different.
The Luau night show is not be be missed! The show is called Hai and is so well done that I personally want to experience it again!
Overall, there is nothing much to fault. Also note that tickets purchased and not single entry! You can go back again on another day to continue your tour if you have missed out on certain experiences.
Thumbs up!

When we first got on our tour and the guide introduced himself I didn't hold out much hope of learning anything from someone who said they had only lived in Hawaii for 3 years but Steve turned out to be a fountain of knowledge. He made the day an extremely enjoyable one, so much information given and funny too. he should also release his soundtrack to the Circle Tour, he had a song for every stop it was awesome! My only criticism would be too many beach photo stops not enough time at Waimea Waterfall and Dole Plantation.

I had my first horseback riding experience with my 9-year-old son and my husband. My horse and my husband's horse were calm and followed the staff's horse, but there were times when my son's horse wouldn't move away from the line, which made me think that my son might have been a bit nervous, and that might have been communicated to the horse. The horses started walking at the staff's cue. We were able to leisurely explore nature and ride the horses, which was very soothing.
One disappointing thing was that the staff explained how to ride and the precautions in English, so I couldn't understand much. However, my son seemed to have enjoyed it and said he would like to ride again when we come back.
9歳の息子と主人と3人で初乗馬体験しました。
主人と私の馬は大人しく並んでスタッフの馬の後ろを付いていたが、
息子の馬が列を離れて動こうとは、しない事があったので少し息子も緊張してたのが馬にも伝わったのかなぁと思いました。スタッフの掛け声で馬は歩きだしました。自然の中をゆっくり見て回れて馬にも普通に乗れて癒されました。
残念な事は、スタッフが最初に乗り方や注意事項を説明されたが、英語だったので、あまり理解出来ませんでした。でも息子は、楽しかったみたいで又、来た時は乗りたいと云ってました。

The whole Polynesian Cultural Center experience is a must when visiting Oahu. We to Oahu in 2016 and was so fortunate to be able to go back and see this venue. There was plenty of things to do in a day (and everyone should go back either two or three days), seeing the tickets are good for three days. The cultural entertainment was very intriguing. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do many activities on the island as there was just so much to consume the first day there.
The staff was very attentive and friendly, most of them students. Any monies spent went to the tuition and any educational expenses.
The luau was a delight. Plenty of food and very organized!

I previously had a horseback riding experience at Kualoa Ranch, but the movie tour aside, the horseback riding felt very much like a "tourist attraction"—it was crowded, and we all went in a line together.
At Gunstock Ranch, my 2-year-and-10-month-old daughter could ride a pony, while my husband and I chose to ride horses. A staff member walked with my daughter's pony, and we followed behind on our own horses. There aren't many places that allow small children to ride alone, so it was a valuable experience! We chose a 20-minute ride, which was more than enough time for little ones! The grounds are incredibly spacious, allowing us to feel the great outdoors, and afterward, they let my daughter brush the pony and give it treats, which was really friendly of them. I definitely want to go back next time!
*However, there were no staff members who spoke Japanese. I don't think it would be too much of a problem, though.
以前クアロア牧場で乗馬体験もしたのですが、映画地のツアーはともかく乗馬に関しては「観光向け」という感じで、混んでいるし、みんなでぞろぞろ行く感じでした。
このガンストック牧場は2歳10か月の娘がポニー、私と夫は馬と選べて、係の女の人が娘のポニーを引いて歩いてくれ、私たちは後ろから自分たちでついていくという感じです。小さい子1人で乗らせてくれるところはないので、貴重な体験でした!
20分のライドを選びましたが、小さい子には十分すぎる時間です!
敷地はものすごく広くて大自然を感じられるし、終わった後で娘にポニーのブラッシングや、おやつをあげさせてくれたりして、本当にフレンドリーでした(^^)次回も絶対に行きたいです!

Initially, I thought about taking the bus, but I didn't know how to ride it or the schedule, so I consulted with HIS. They told me it would take a long time and that I wouldn't know how to transfer, which would make it difficult to reach my destination. I even considered canceling. In the end, I decided to take a taxi (which was expensive).
There were seven elderly ladies, all beginners, and at first, they were a bit scared to get on, but they gradually got used to it. The woman who accompanied us was very cheerful, which made it enjoyable and the experience was fantastic (I'm glad we did it).
As they got more comfortable, everyone expressed a desire to go horseback riding and try galloping. While Kualoa is famous, this place felt more local, and Japanese wasn't spoken, but we managed to communicate somehow. There were also small children with us, and they had a great time as well.
最初バスで行こうと思いましたが乗り方、時間がわからずHISで相談しました。そうしたら時間もかかるし、乗換もわからないと着くまでに大変ですよと言われ、キャンセルも視野に入れましたが。急きょタクシー(値段が高い)に
しました。おばあちゃん7名ですが全員初心者、最初は恐る恐る乗っていましたが次第に慣れ、ついていただいた女性の方がとても明るい方なので楽しくなり最高でした。(やって良かったです)
慣れたのか、みなさん乗馬に行って走らせてみたいと言う意見もありました。

He talked non stop about himself and we got to the PCC later than anticipated so had less time there.
