We used this service for our family's first trip to Hawaii. We enjoyed a full hour of horseback riding, and the location was amazing. The horses were well-behaved, with gentle eyes that were just too cute! It was a sunny day, but there were plenty of shaded areas, so it wasn't as hot as I expected, and we had a great time! I don't understand English at all, but they showed us a Japanese version of the explanation video, which made me feel at ease. I definitely recommend this experience!
家族で初めてのハワイ旅行で利用しました。
1時間たっぷり乗馬してロケーションは最高。お馬さんはいい子で優しい瞳で可愛いすぎた!
日差しが強い日だったけど日陰も多くて思ったより暑くなく楽しめました!
英語は全く分からないけど日本語版の説明動画も見せてくれて安心しました!是非体験してきてください
薄い羽織ものがあると日焼け対策にいいかもです

We only bought the entrance tickets and drove ourselves to the Polynesian Center. The journey there was also a wonderful experience—we really enjoyed the views and the local residents. The center was very beautiful, and there were also lovely stalls where you could buy souvenirs. The staff was very hospitable. We enjoyed the many presentations from different islands. We enjoyed the welcome show. The final show was amazing, as was the buffet. Our compliments!
Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!

We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!

I loved this tour. The bus took us around the island, visiting ALL the hot spots. It can feel a bit rushed but lots of places to go. I think it’s suitable as a first day of your trip activity. Our guide Kanamu was amazing, I loved all the local histories and traditions she told us along the way. The highlight of the trip is definitely Waimea Falls. We spent 1.5 hours here, I personally highly suggest not to go swim in the waterfall because that would become the whole focus of this place. It’s such a beautiful area, you’d be rushing through the short hike trying to get to the waterfall, and once you’ve done swimming you’d be rushing back to your bus. You’d be missing a lot of this beautiful place. I also loved that we stopped for a short 30 minutes Dole plantation. That’s really enough tbh. I would otherwise not have come here but now I can say that I have been there. I loved the fruit stands that we passed, bought some fruits. If you’ve had good sugar cane before don’t buy them here, they weren’t that great. While taste great, they weren’t very juicy, and quite hard to chew. You can definitely try if you’ve never had them before. Bought some macadamia honey at the “nut house”, and I loved the macadamia nut sampling. I was so tired at the end of the trip but definitely worth it!
Do this trip on your first day here.

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!

We experienced this as a family of four.
We progressed along the grassy path from the ranch to the seaside! The ocean spread out before us, and it was a wonderful location.
Each horse had its own personality, and we were able to enjoy a valuable experience while walking leisurely.

牧場から草道を進み海辺へ!海が広がり素晴らしいロケーションでした。

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?
Brug skemaet over hvad der sker, så du opnår så meget som muligt.

I'm glad I went!
Once you buy a ticket, you can enter for three days!
Indeed, with such a wealth of experiences, it seems like it would take three days to fully enjoy everything.
Understanding the schedules for experiences and shows can be overwhelming for first-timers, so I recommend paying the additional fee for a guide; otherwise, it would be hard to enjoy efficiently and you might feel lost! I definitely recommend getting a guide!
The staff is mostly university students from the adjacent campus, creating a lively and pleasant atmosphere.
The guide who assisted us was great at explaining in Japanese, and thanks to them, we had a fantastic time! ✨
All the shows and experiences were fun!
With a ticket, you can enjoy everything for free except for meals and the fire show.
If you have kids, I think it's an incredibly fun place.
It was such a great place that I would want to visit for three days!
行ってよかった!
1回チケットを買ったら3日入れるらしい!
たしかに豊富な体験数なので、全制覇は3日かかりそう。
体験やショーのプログラム時間の把握は、豊富すぎて初めての人には厳しいのでガイド追加料金を払って、案内してもらわないと効率よく楽しめないし、わけがわからないと思う!絶対ガイドをつけることをおすすめ!
スタッフは隣接の大学生が8割とのことで、活気があって良い雰囲気だった。
ガイドをしてくれた方も日本語での説明が上手で、彼らのおかげで相当楽しめた✨
ショーも、体験も全部楽しかった!
チケットがあれば、食事とファイヤーショー意外無料で楽しめます。
子供がいたら、楽しすぎる場所だと思う。
3日間通いたいくらい良い場所でした。
Since the access is farther from Waikiki, it's better to schedule your plans according to the shuttle bus times from the cultural center (only one round trip). Taxis and Uber were hard to catch and be
アクセスがワイキキより遠いので、カルチャーセンターのシャトルバスの時間(往復1便のみ)に合わせてスケジュールを組んだ方が良い。

My first booking was cancelled at very last minute. The captain only told me when I got to the pier - 2hours round trips was wasted for nothing without early notice.
I booked second one which was rescheduled twice, eventually it made through and my daughter loves it.
The water is bit cold in the first place but bearable and we stayed in water for 40mins or longer as we were the last group.
On the way back, we saw the whales - what a bonus!!
Bring towel, extra shirt if you get into water with shirt on. Ready to video on the boat for whales
