We started with sightseeing in the morning and entered the center at 1 PM. The daytime shows and the park tour were enjoyable, and both lunch and dinner were delicious. I watched the night show from the front row center and was moved to tears by the dancers' powerful performance. I will definitely go again next time. Thank you very much to the guide who took care of us during this tour. I hope to see you again next year.

午前中の観光から始まり１３時にセンターに入りました。
昼間のショーも園内ツアーも楽しく、ランチやディナーは美味しく、ナイトショーは、前列中央で見ましたがダンサーの皆さんの迫力に感動し、涙が出ました。
次回も必ず行きます。
今回のツアーでお世話になったガイドさん　本当にありがとうございました。
来年　またお会いできるといいです。

Tour guide outstanding. Exceeded all our needs and provided excellent guide service and advice. Treated us special from the moment we met until our departure. Thanks very much for translating Chinese for my wife and daughter and making their experience memorable. Had the best time ever! Definitely need to do this again with same guide. Thank you!

The local guide was unique and made the sightseeing enjoyable.

Thanks to them, even though I was sleepy from jet lag, I was able to enjoy the tour without sleeping.

I was very satisfied.

名物ガイドさんがユニークで楽しく観光できました。

おかげで、時差ボケで眠かったけど、寝ないで観光できました。

大変満足でした。

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!

Highly Recommend!!

Loved the Super Ambassador package! We were always in front on shows & we didn’t have to worry about where to go next because everything is planned out for us by our personal guide. Best part, I got a 5% discount thru my work.

The tour itself was great. Getting to stop at some sightseeing areas and enjoy the PCC was definitely a highlight. Could have spent more time at the Dole Plantation and the PCC. The driver Rob was obnoxious however. He talked non stop very loudly and it was difficult to decifer what was fact and what was BS. He talked non stop about himself and we got to the PCC later than anticipated so had less time there.

The tour was okay. To begin with the driver did not wait or call us when we were at the hotel. We called the company so many times and they gave us info that the bus is late and then again in 10 minutes one says the bus left us! It was a horrible experience. I would believe they would atleast call us. But even then we tried to ask to meet the driver elsewhere to catch up on the tour and there was a long wait before they could say yes! The dispatcher lady was helpful but then the driver not so much. I didn't like how the driver kept on talking even though the crowd was asleep. Most tours I have been has a guide talking and interacting with you while the driver drives so its more fun but these have the driver drive and speak on microphone which was disappointing! The tour itself was okay because with the better tour guide it could have been much better. Do not miss the Polynesian Cultural Center. Could spend a good half a day there.

The flow from village to village with happy and friendly people made us feel happy. We learned so much from the talented performers...The canoe celebration was a treat...so very crowded for viewing, but it was the Christmas holiday break. When I think of the Polynesian Cultural Center, I will smile and remember the villages, the luau and it's good feeling and the fantastic show...Ha. Unforgettable.

It was my first time visiting Hawaii, and I had a valuable experience learning about the culture of the Polynesian region, including the Hawaiian Islands. It was a trip with my mother, who is 60 years old, and I was glad I signed up since she was also very satisfied with the experience.
However, this plan includes a tour with morning sightseeing, which means it involves group activities from morning until night, and we might get tired midway.
Also, the lunch and dinner buffet was honestly a bit disappointing...

The final night show at the Polynesian Cultural Center was truly amazing, especially the fire dance, which was nothing short of bravo!!

はじめてのハワイ観光でしたが、ハワイ諸島を含むポリネシア圏の文化を学ぶ貴重な体験をさせていただきました。60になる母と2人の旅行でしたが、母も大満足の体験となったことで申し込んで良かったと思いました。
ただ、このプランは午前中の観光のついたツアーになっていますが、これは朝から晩まで団体行動となり、中盤でバテてしまうかもしれません。
また、ランチ＆ディナービュッフェは正直微妙でした。。。

ポリネシアカルチャーセンターの最後のナイトショーは本当に最高で、とりわけファイヤーダンスについては、ブラボーとしか言いようがないです！！

Since my stay was short, I relied on this tour to efficiently explore the area. It covers all the famous landmarks, tourist spots, shows, and cultural experiences listed in guidebooks. The price for two meals included was a great deal.

滞在期間が短かったので、効率的に観光できるこちらのツアーにお世話になりました。ガイドブックに載っている名所、観光スポット、ショー、文化体験全て網羅されてます。2食付きでこの料金はお得でした。

Everything was great from the time of arrival. We arrived a few hours early to visit the waterfall and botanical garden. Simply beautiful and peaceful. That landed us in time for the luau and we got upgraded to VIP! Warning VIP you may be asked to be part of the show but it’s all fun and games and a great hands on learning experience. Food was buffet style and also amazingly delicious. All in all a great day at a great price.

PCC was a lot of fun and had so many different things to do. This was my third time coming to the center. I got there at noon, had their lunch buffet, and visited a few islands before seeing the new canoe show. Huki replaces the canoe pageant and is a lot more elaborate: there's a narration, music, and many more canoes in the water. The show as a whole is a lot more impressive, just make sure you get there early to get good seats in the shade.

After the canoe show we went to a few more villages (Samoa, Fiji, Tonga) before having our fancy prime rib dinner. I preferred the setting of the fine dining option to the luau dinner, as it was quieter and they have ice cream. Crab legs were also a bonus. After dinner, I had an hour or so to spend at the Hukilau Marketplace before the night show, so I browsed around. The night show was great. It put together things from every village presentation along with music, lights, and a longer story that connects all of it. The show is pretty long though, so use the bathroom beforehand (no intermissions).

PCC is a fun way to spend a day in Hawaii and learn a lot about Polynesian culture. Even if you've been there before like me, there's always something new to see or try!

Absolutely awesome! Every moment was outstanding and beyond our expectation.

I found the driver/tour guide annoying and condescending. When telling us the time limits he could have scripted better like i.e." we're on a tight schedule and we only have 10 mins on this site so please be back at (state the exact time). He's so full of himself and very scattered with his stories and facts. He didn't even know Hawaii's state bird, he said the white crane. He kept on showing his arm muscles and his jokes were not even funny. He kept on singing, he could just have played any Hawaiian music, he also took jabs at other driver/tour guides.

Arriving 15 minutes early at the meeting place, I found many tour participants there. Just as I was feeling a bit lost, I heard the clear voice of Kerina, who was wearing a muumuu, and I was able to meet up without any issues. Kerina, reminiscent of Kiyomaro Ayakouji, was an excellent guide, and the bus was filled with laughter. We efficiently visited key points, and I was able to purchase valuable decorations with a warranty, quickly making our way to the Polynesian Cultural Center. I was thrilled to have Kerina as my guide for my first Japanese-language tour. The Polynesian Cultural Center was a place I wanted to visit again on my own due to time constraints. The lunch and dinner were neither particularly good nor bad, but I was moved by the university and palace we were shown before the show. Additionally, I was deeply impressed when I learned about the history of the facility from the volunteer students. I felt very satisfied knowing that what I paid would help the students achieve their goals as I left in the shuttle.

集合場所に15分前に着くと、多くのツアー参加者が居て、迷っていると直ぐにムームーを着たKERINAさんの澄んだ声が聞こえ無事ミート。綾小路きみまろを彷彿とさせるKERINAさんの名ガイドに車内は爆笑の渦に。要所を効率的に回り、貴重な装飾品も保証書付きで安心購入でき、あっという間にポリネシアン文化センターへ。初めての日本語ガイドツアーにKERINAさんが付いてくれて大感激でした。ポリネシアン文化センターは時間不足で今度は個人で来たい施設でした。ランチ、ディナーは可もなく不可もない食事でしたが、ショーの前に案内された大学と宮殿に感動。更にボランティアの学生さんに施設開設の歴史を聞いて大感動。ここで支払ったものが学生さんの目的達成に役立つなら大満足だったと送迎車で後にしました。

Our time at the Polynesian Cultural Center center was truly amazing. We did splurge on the super ambassador ticket. Which was well worth every penny. We spent the day with Tyrone, he was the most intelligent, knowledgeable, kind and caring person. He made sure we understood everything we were watching or listening too. It started to rain and he ran and supplied us all with rain ponchos. Everyone who worked there were friendly, and knowledgeable about their land. We were there for 8 hours and we could have easily have spent several more hours.

This was our second visit to the center and we enjoyed it as much as we did the first time. The guides were very friendly, knowledgeable and aware of each of our needs. The young performers were excited about their culture and were full of energy and joy as they shared their culture with us. The luau was very good and the show was excellent. A very enjoyable family activity. We would highly recommend thie Polynesian Cultural Center as s part of your Oahu experience.

The entertainment and activities were excellent!!
The young entertainers were very enthusiastic and had so much energy. We enjoyed this luau very much.

The half-day morning tour was a bit rushed, but I was able to see various attractions on Oahu. The Polynesian Cultural Center was charming with the earnestness of the student guide, and the show was fantastic.

午前中の半日観光は駆け足でしたが、オアフ島の色々名所を観ることができました。
ポリネシア文化センターは学生のガイドさんの一生懸命なのが、微笑ましく、
ショーは最高でした。

I had an awesome experience! Why would need 50 characters?

We’ve been to many Luaus over the years but this one was the best ever. It was personal, informative, and super entertaining. Definitely recommend to others. Each guest felt involved without big crowds and big lines.

We gathered before 8 AM and returned to the hotel around 10:30 PM. It was truly a full day, a fulfilling tour.

Previously, I participated in the afternoon canoe show with a friend, and this time, I joined this half-day tour combined with sightseeing with my mother.

It was great to show my mother, who was visiting Hawaii for the first time, Hanauma Bay and the "Tree of Life" from Hitachi. The cultural center, with the canoe show and village performances, was all wonderful and enjoyable. The highlight was definitely the night show; the fire dance is a must-see!

From Hanauma Bay to the "Tree of Life," then to Dole and Haleiwa, the guide provided information along the way, which was fun. However, it felt a bit packed with sightseeing. We only had about 20 minutes in Haleiwa, so a little more time there would have been nice. I rated it ★4, but I highly recommend this satisfying tour.

Here we have a small group of nice folks pouring their soul into this wonderful luau. Imagine all this happing within the beautiful confines of Waimea Valley! Great food, great entertainment and one heck of a value. Toa Luau is centered around the traditional Samoan luau ways and pays respect to Hawaii and all the islands of Polynesia. My party of six adults chose the Silver package and were delighted with our seating position to the show. The food was amazing. Do yourself a favor... leave the other touristy luaus to the tourists and experience what these lovely folks work so hard to share. Well done Toa Luau!!

I participated in this tour alone but I had a lot of fun there! There were many activities, performances, and exhibitions. I stayed there over 9 hours and I was so satisfied with the tour!

The tour guide was wonderful lots of stories funny and knew lots of history. I enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center as well all the different cultures was interesting and fun at the same time. Great time for the whole day of staying busy.

When I first got tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center, I was a little worried since we would be there all day. Would we find enough to do for 9 hours? Yes, yes we could, and one day wasn't even enough!

There were so many incredible activities and performances in all of the different villages, but my favorites had to be Samoa and Hawaii. The presenter for Samoa was not hilarious, but so entertaining, and quite the hottie too! :P I knew Hawaii would be great, how could it not be, but I was blown away by their performances.

We also visited Tahiti and New Zealand, but didn't have time for Fiji or Tonga unfortunately. Next visit! The canoe ride, and the canoe pageant were quite fun, and even the IMAX movie which we chose to see as a break from the walking, ended up being very good! You definitely don't want to miss it!

The food at the luau was so tasty, and I had a LOT of poke. So much poke. Like, pretty much all of the poke was in my belly by the end of dinner. And although I loved the show while we ate, the highlight was definitely the evening Breath of Life show. It was so interesting to see hula and other dances put to a story.

The day was long, but so worth it!

I had a amazing time with Toa Luau, food, drinks & show are great. It's a very family oriented luau and the location is beautiful. The good thing about being far from Waikiki, is that you can skip the crowds from the other shows and get a more personal experience.

I really enjoyed the pre-luau activities, they let us be part of dinner preparation and we learned how to make some traditional Polynesian dishes. They let us peel taro, green banana, they showed us how make flower leis & how to use palm leafs to make headbands, baskets and hats. We played Polynesian games and had the chance to play some musical instruments too. Kids and adults were having so much fun! I believe this is the only luau where you can experience a Kava Cerimony, one of the most iconic cultural traditions in Fiji.

I've been to other luaus before, but this one felt different. I didn't feel as a tourist. The staff makes you feel like you are part of their family and that they are inviting you for a real party at their home, so it made the evening really special.
Another good thing is that it includes admission to Waimea Valley. We arrived earlier and were able to enjoy the botanical garden and of course, swim at the most famous waterfall on Oahu. There are changing rooms available at the park so you can get ready for the luau.

I recommend this luau for everyone who is looking for a real luau experience and wants to learn more about the beautiful Hawaiian & Polynesian culture. Absolutely loved it!

All day excursion. Wonderful experience. Our guide, Stau, was enthusiastic, fun, and knowledgeable. The different villages, with all of the friendly people, entertainment, and learning opportunities were well done. The luau was good. The Ha, Breath of Life show was amazing. Will go again next time I visit Hawaii. Thanks so much for the experience.

Honestly guys, this is a must do when you go to Oahu. You get to learn about the Polynesian culture while having fun! The center was huge and there’s lots of activities to do throughout the day. There’s several shows that we’re OUTSTANDING!!! The food at the luau was amazing as well. The final show: HA, was sooo good, it’s a must see. Highly recommend!

I was guided in a polite, fun, and smiling manner. I walked quite a bit inside the center, but it was enjoyable and not burdensome at all. The shows were in English, but Atsushi provided simultaneous interpretation in Japanese, which helped me understand the content well. I was impressed to learn about the greeting with two fingers raised in aloha.

Thank you for the guidance, Atsushi!!

The canoe experience was enjoyable for both adults and children. The night show was enjoyable even from the back seats. I did feel a bit sleepy during the night show. It got chilly at night, so I was glad I brought a long-sleeve shirt.

The half-day tour of Oahu included places I had been to before, but coincidentally, I had the same guide as before. At Haleiwa, I was able to eat Matsumoto Shave Ice immediately without any wait. (With azuki... it was delicious!) Since it's a popular spot now, I wished we had a bit more time there.

丁寧に楽しく笑顔でガイドをしてもらいました。
センター内をかなり歩きましたが、楽しく苦になりませんでした。
ショーなどは英語ですが、あつし君が日本語で同時通訳してくれて、
内容が良く理解できました。
アロハの2本指を立てての挨拶の始まりなど、そうなんだーと納得でした。
あつし君　案内ありがとう！！

カヌーも体験でき大人から子供まで楽しめる内容でした。
ナイトショーは、後方席でしたが十分楽しめました。
ナイトショーは途中ちょっと眠くなりました。
夜は冷えましたので、長そで持参してよかったです。

オアフ島の半日観光は、一度行ったことのある場所ばかりでしたが、偶然、以前と同じガイドさんでした。ハレイワではマツモトシェーブアイスを待ち時間なくすぐに食べられました。（あずき入り・・・・おいしかった♪）
今、人気の場所なのでもう少し時間があればなあと思いました。
