Visited for first time. Upgraded to ambassador level and it was worth every penny. Would have missed so much without a guide. Can't see all in a day so we will return again in the future.

Wonderful Day

Reviewed by: Larry C

As this was my wife's first trip to Hawaii, we visited the center. I'd never been before either.
We both thoroughly enjoyed the day and our guide. We paid for the Ambassador level and it was worth every penny as you are guided through the center with a personal touch.
The center was very informative and the luau was very good.
We'll be returning again as there is so much to see and learn that it can't be covered in ine day, even with a guide.

Phenomenal

Reviewed by: Judy M

Took the 1/2 day excursion but wish I had time to do the full day. There was such a strong feeling of joy and energy during all the performances. The imagine theater, the newest attraction was amazing. The Luau was great the the final performance was amazing, such talent and energy, no shows we saw on the cruise ship we were on could compare

It's a repeat, the best sunset!! リピートです、最高のサンセット!!

Reviewed by: tomo

This was my second time on the Gunstock. This time, it was a sunset horseback riding tour in the evening. The course was the same as usual, but thanks to the beautiful weather, we enjoyed stunning views of the sea and the sunset. It was truly moving. If I could wish for anything, I would have liked to run more, as we mostly walked at a steady pace. That was the only disappointment.

2度目のガンストック。今回はサンセット乗馬ということで夕方のツアーです。
コースは通常のと同じでしたが、天気に恵まれたおかげで美しい海と夕日。
感動でした。
欲を言えばもっと走りたかったなあ。基本ずっと並足だったので。
そこだけが残念。

This was a waste of money. The only thing that Veltra did was make the reservation for the luau and the show. We arrived at the Polynesian cultural center expecting a tour. After a phone call, we realized we was on our own. We could have done it by ourselves.

“HA Breathe of Life” is the best luau on the island of Oahu. The dinner packages are fantastic you cannot go wrong with either dinner package. Polynesian Cultural Center is a fabulous place to learn about the different cultures that make up Polynesia. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone; you will have a great time.

Ambassador Alii Luau Full Day Package

Reviewed by: msblock

I had a great experience!
During the bus drive to PCC there is a tour guide who is really good on entertaining the crowd while giving important information about Hawaii culture. As you arrive there you are greeted by the employees while checking-in.
After lunch (i've purchased a nice BBQ buffet) I started my tour, the guide was very friendly and took us to each village and we had the chance to participate of many cultural activities.
If you were not able to see all the presentations, don't worry, you can have a small demonstration of each Village during the Canoe Pageant.
If you have time, please check the Hawaiian Journey Theater, you will watch a beautiful movie about Hawaii. I was impressed by the size of the theater. There's also a Tram Tour around Laie town and you can visit the Temple.
By 5pm it starts the Dinner Luau. There is a lot of different options, and they were all delicious! After dinner there's the beautiful show "Ha: Breath of Life". It's a wonderful production!

Enjoying the cowboy vibe! カーボーイ気分満喫!

Reviewed by: たけい

After a comfortable drive of just over an hour from Waikiki towards the North, I spotted the GUNSTOCK sign and felt a rush of excitement. The expansive ranch, along with the goats and horses, was truly soothing and impressive.

While horseback riding, I leisurely enjoyed the scenery, and at the top of the hill, a breathtaking view unfolded, making me feel refreshed. Riding while holding the reins myself really allowed me to fully embrace the cowboy experience.

抜群の景色の中ノースを目指し快適ドライブをワイキキから1時間ちょっと、GUNSTOCKの看板を見つけ心ワクワク。広い牧場、山羊と馬に癒され感動。
乗馬は、のんびり景色を堪能しながらテクテク、岡の上では絶景が広がり気分爽快。
手綱を自分で引きながらの乗馬は、本当にカーボーイ気分を満喫しました。

MUST READ!!!!!

Reviewed by: OhMyHiroshi

We had a wonderful time here. Our driver and escort provided lively Hawaiian music,taught us about sacred Hawaiian land, historic places where movies were filmed, and a list of Hawaiian vocabulary. As we got there we were greeted by employees while checking in. We saw every village and participated in some activities. We learned how to dance hula and play the ukulele. We also got to see the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The Luau portion was the best! I have never been satisfied with an endless luau buffet.Food was great but I have only one suggestion which is make sure you don't eat too much because you still need to attend the show HA The Breath of Life. The show was awesome with historic facts of how children were raised with the sense of Ohana in Hawaii. After watching this show my girlfriend and I are aware of how and what life means to the Hawaiians.Ultimately if you are planning on visiting Oahu and was interested in this activity, then don't hesitate to book it!

Circle Island Tour & PCC Luau & show

Reviewed by: TizLV

The circle island tour (1 star) was too much a rush, it is literally a drive half way around the island to get to PCC, only a couple stops that barely has time to get off the bus and take photos, and no where states that the famous Hanauma Bay is closed on Tuesday for cleanup.

The PCC operates like the cruise ship, put a lei on you just to have photographer take pictures to sell you later, and then take the lei back. The so called guides in the PCC are students where some of them are not well trained to handle the group; you can do everything by yourself using the schedule of programs.

The Luau was mediocre, no whole pig roasting, just a huge dinning hall with lots of people, eating the buffet, and some show on stage. Sorry, I live in Vegas, this cannot compare.

"HA: Breath of Life" Show definitely 5 star, very well done and great performers, if you are willing to pay high price for shows in Vegas, this one is on par.

Ballet the donkey came to greet us. He was so cute, rubbing his face against us. I wanted to take him back to Japan! (laughs) The horse was also very smart, and my daughter was in a great mood. We had a wonderful time together as a family until the end.

You can enjoy a different side of Hawaii for family memories.

If you're a first timer, this is a must!

Reviewed by: BGC

We had a wonderful time. If you wanted to have plain good time knowing the Polynecian culture this is a must! You will be spending most of your day in a ALL IN ONE package,from activities, education, culture, music, language. I don't know about other people but there is nothing to complain about the Luau and this place, the food was good,the show was great, the evening show was spectacular! For those who expect to get drunk and expect a Las Vegas type of show, please do your self a favor go somewhere else, BUT if you wanted to have a clean entertainment and wholesome environment for you and your family and appreciate custumes,culture, pretty and handsome islanders don't think twice of going here. Several reviewers expect a Las Vegas show and almost bear all, I'm a Islander I find those reviews very insulting to the culture of our people, this is a paradise Island, so please leave your mind set behind before coming here. PCC does the best to preserve the culture and their ancestry.

Terrible food at the luau. Not very authentic in terms of food or staff. Was like a discount Disneyland but with not very convincing landscaping.

Best day in Hawaii

Reviewed by: Steve Salisbury

Booked an "Ambassador Package" as it seemed to offer a comprehensive itinerary and very glad we did as it took care of all the planning necessary to view the centre in a day.
The prime rib and seafood buffet was as good as expected considering the amount of guests it was catering for. The different cultural villages provided a good mix of information and humour as not to overload visitors brains. Guest involvement in traditional customs such as weaving and drumming was fun.
The "Ha" show was excellent, keeping the audience fully focused and entertained.
I would recommend the travel inclusive package from Waikiki. Smooth bus operation and after a full day, an opportunity to relax after the event. The guide on the outward journey was entertaining and informative.
What really made this a day to remember was our centre guide "Tori". Through all our years travelling the world, she was beyond doubt the most friendly, informative and caring person we have ever encountered in this role.
