North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Best tour on the North Shore - Turtle Paradise

Reviewed by: mcavalheiro

This kayak tour is incredible, the clear bottom allows you to see all the marine life. Kayaking on the waters of Haleiwa was one of the best things I've ever done. The coral formation is so beautiful, you see so many fishes and turtles.
I have never seen so many turtles in my life, they are everywhere, even in the river. OMG it was amazing, Haleiwa is the turtle paradise!
But I have to say that this is tour is not just about the scenery, the guide made this experience be even better. The local guides grew up on the North Shore and they are so nice and knowledgeable about the area. If you wanna see turtles and if you are looking for a perfect day on the North Shore you should book this tour. A true unique experience in Hawaii.

North Shore Clear Bottom Kayak Tour & Turtle Watch from Haleiwa Beach

Worth going Rain or Shine

Reviewed by: Nunia T.

My friend and I woke up early in the morning and drove ourselves out to Haleiwa for this tour. The sky looked really overcast and were already thinking the worst that the tour would not be great however we were wrong. This is the perfect kayak tour to do on a sunny or even rainy day. Visibility was still clear and when entering into the Turtle River with all the rain, if felt like we were in a National Discovery scene exploring the amazons. We seen so much turtles in the river and so much fishes out in the ocean. It is also a plus that the kayaks are clear ans see through so you can just record and take pictures from inside your kayak instead of risking it out and losing it.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Learned so much about Polynesia!

Reviewed by: LisaV

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!

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

Toa Luau at Waimea Valley (Add to your Bucket list)

Reviewed by: mcavalheiro

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!

North Shore Shark Adventures - Oahu Cage Diving Tour with Waikiki Transportation

Shark of a good time!

Reviewed by: Bossman

Captain Dave and deck hands Dave and Martin were fantastic. We had young and old on the trip and everyone had a good time - except maybe the ones who got seasick - it was a little rough on the day of our trip according to Martin. The time in the cage was worth the cost and each person had plenty of time in the cage to see the sharks. You have to have some strength in your arms to hold onto the cage and keep your body in position to see the sharks. Not sure if the rough conditions added to that or not. Once in a life time experience, so if you are unsure about doing it - do it for sure! The ocean water was an amazing deep blue that was a surprise to me, it was awesome!!!

Reviewed by: あんじゅ

We participated with a group of six, including family and friends. Since no one spoke Japanese, we managed with gestures and simple English. I cut the base of my thumb when I grabbed onto the bar due to the shock of arrival. There is also a section where you have to climb a rope for about 20 meters, so I recommend bringing leather gloves with fingertips exposed or gloves with grip. Additionally, the helmets are equipped for GoPro mounts, so if you want to bring one, a helmet mount or chest mount would be good.

友人家族含め6人で参加しました。日本語が通じる人は全くいないので、ジェスチャーと簡単な英語でなんとか乗り切りました。バーにつかまって到着時の衝撃で親指の付け根を切ってしまいました。途中20mほど綱登りをする場面もあるので、指先が出た革のグローブまたは滑り止めのついた軍手などを持って行くことをおすすめします。また、ヘルメットにゴープロがつけられるようになっているので持って行きたいひとはヘルメットマウントまたはチェストマウントがよかです。

There is a shuttle service available, but we went to the North Shore by rental car. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes from the dock. You will enter a cage. You can see sharks while snorkeling inside the cage. There is a water shower available, but the only place to change is the restroom. I changed in the car. I think it's better to bring your own towels from the hotel.

Shark Diving Hawaii - Cageless Pelagic Snorkel Tour with FREE Photos & Videos

So much fun - I booked it twice!

Reviewed by: Mike in SC

I’ve been on several shark dives in the past - almost all without cages. This experience was right up there with all the rest.
Without a cage you really get to understand that, unlike Shark Week hype, sharks are not out to get us.
You share the ocean and appreciate them as they go about their own business. We had up to 17 sharks in the vicinity on the my second trip, including Galapagos, Sandbar, and Scalloped Hammerheads. A couple would cruise by closer, but most seemed content to keep their distance.
The team made both dives very informative as well as enjoyable. Their cameraman ensures that you’ll have pictures to share with family and friends. I used my GoPro, but still got the pictures they took as well.
If I’m ever back on Oahu, I’ll book a couple more outings with them.

乗馬体験(1.5時間)　ノースショアの海辺を散策！ロマンチックなサンセットプランや貸切プランから選べる　8歳から参加OK！

It was fun! 楽しかった！

Reviewed by: AAA

The weather wasn't very good, starting off with a cloudy sky and occasional light rain. The participants were just the two of us and a young couple from abroad, making four in total. Before we began, we were asked to read and sign a simple agreement written in Japanese. The staff helped us choose our horses, and each of us received a brief explanation on how to ride and handle the reins before being placed on the horses.

All the conversations were in English, so I could somewhat understand, but I missed the finer details and just relied on observation and body language. Suddenly, the staff led us in a line, and we started. We quickly began walking along the coastal path. After walking on the sandy ground for a while, we moved onto some grassy areas. The pace was slow, but there were moments where we suddenly accelerated on slight inclines, which was interesting.

While on the grass, my horse started eating the surrounding grass as we walked, and it was a bit challenging to get it to stop. I think it was mentioned in the initial instructions, but I wish I had read it more carefully. After walking for a while, we stopped on flat ground for a commemorative photo. The staff took many pictures with our smartphones.

We then returned the way we came, but the horse of the foreign couple's female rider seemed a bit excited and suddenly started running and rearing up, which made her a little scared. We changed the order of the horses and brought that horse behind the staff, but it still didn't work out. In the end, we called for a replacement horse, and while waiting, we took more commemorative photos on the beach. By that time, the sun was beginning to set, and I thought how beautiful the sunset by the sea would have been if the weather had been nice. We waited for nearly 20 minutes in the dark.

The replacement horse arrived safely, and we headed back. Due to the incident, our horseback riding session lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes. The couple seemed fine as they were conversing in English, but I worried a bit about what would have happened if it had been us, as we wouldn't have been able to communicate. However, the staff handled the situation calmly, so it might be a common occurrence. The only disappointment was the weather, but the horseback riding itself was very enjoyable, and I would love to try it again when the weather is nice.

天気があまりよくなくて曇り空～時々小雨がぱらつく中でのスタートでした。
参加者は私たち夫婦と外国の若いカップルの4人。
始まる前に同意書など簡単な説明が日本語で書いてあるものを読まされサイン。スタッフがそれぞれの馬を選んでくれて一人ずつ
乗り方と簡単な手綱の扱い方の説明を受けていきなり馬に乗せられました。
すべて会話は英語なので何となく理解はできましたが細かいことはわからずただただ見様見真似とボディランゲージで・・
いきなりスタッフ先頭で4人が一列になってスタート。
すぐに海岸の道を歩き始めます。しばらく砂地を歩いたら少し中のほうの草地を歩いたり・・歩くのはゆっくりですが少し坂になっているところなどは急に加速したり変化があり面白かったです。
草地では馬が歩きながら周りの草を食べてしまいそれをやめさせるように扱うのが少し難しかったです。最初の説明書に書いてあったような気がするのですがもっとちゃんと読んでおけばよかった^^;
しばらく歩いて平らなところで記念撮影。スタッフが私たちのスマホでたくさん写真を撮ってくれます。
そこからまた来た道を戻りましたが、外人カップルの女性の馬が少し興奮気味？で急に走り出したり前足上げて立ち上がったりしてしまって
その女の子も少し怖がっていたようです。歩く順番を変えてスタッフの次にその馬を持ってきましたが、やはりだめで最後は電話連絡して代わりの馬を連れてきてもらい交代。待っている間浜辺でまた記念撮影、そのころもう日が沈みかけていたので天気が良ければきっと海辺のサンセットがきれいだったんだろうな。。と思いながら暗闇の中20分近く待っていました。
無事に代わりの馬が来て帰路に。。アクシデントがあったので１時間45分の乗馬になりました。彼女たちは英語で会話していたので大丈夫そうでしたがもし私たちのほうだったら言葉が通じないのでどうなっていたか少し心配になりましたが、スタッフは落ち着いて対応していたのでよくあることなのかもしれません。天気だけが残念でしたが乗馬自体はとても面白く、また天気が良い時に乗ってみたいと思いました。

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。

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。

It was a very elegant time, walking slowly along the beach and through the fields for about an hour and a half. I was a bit worried since the explanations were only in English, but the horses were well-trained, so I was able to enjoy myself with peace of mind. Since I didn't have a rental car, I took the bus to Haleiwa and then used Uber from there. Fortunately, there happened to be an Uber nearby both on the way there and back, so I didn't have to wait long, but according to the driver, there usually aren't many Uber cars around this area. Those without a rental car might want to be cautious.

海辺や野畑を1時間半ほどゆっくり歩く、とても優雅な時間でした。
説明は英語オンリーということで少し心配でしたが、しっかり躾されている馬たちなので、安心して楽しむことができました。
レンタカーがなかったので、バスでハレイワまで行き、そこからuberで行きました。uberは行きも帰りもたまたま近くにいたのでそこまで待たずに捕まえられましたが、運転手さんいわくこのへんは普段はあまりuber車は通っていないとのこと。

オアフ島1日周遊観光　ポリネシアカルチャーセンターとハワイ最大のダンスショー＋ハレイワタウン＋この木なんの木＋ドールプランテーション

Just in the afternoon is fine. 午後だけでいい

Reviewed by: あぐあぐ

I was recommended the all-day plan by the travel agency and decided to participate. To be honest, I was disappointed. It might be a matter of luck, but the bus guide was very loud and talked non-stop. About 80% of her content was pushing us to buy at the wholesale stores for gold and peridot that we stopped at under the guise of restroom breaks. By the way, the breaks at these stores were the longest until we arrived at our destination.

The items often had designs that would look tacky on someone in their early 40s in Japan (though I think they would suit those in their 50s and above).

I hope this helps those who plan to participate in the future. There was a lot of exaggeration in her stories, and as someone who works in the jewelry industry, I found it very unpleasant. She claimed that necklaces combining 18k gold, pink gold, and white gold do not exist in Japan, but they do. While I believe the gold accessories sold on the streets of Hawaii are plated and can tarnish, it is true that white gold, even if it's 18k, can tarnish due to platinum plating (the base metal color can show through), yet she made it sound like tarnishing was impossible, which is quite the opposite of what is acceptable in Japan.

Since my mood was already lowered before arriving at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I recommend participating only in the afternoon.

終日プランを旅行会社の人にも勧められ参加しました。
はっきり言ってガッカリです。
当たり外れの問題かもしれませんが、バスガイドのおばちゃんがうるさい。しゃべりまくりです。
その内容の8割は途中でトイレ休憩と称して寄る地金とペリドットなどの卸のお店での購入を煽る話です。
ちなみに、このお店でさせられる休憩が現地到着するまで最も長いです。
品は40代前半でも日本でつけたらダサいデザインが多いです（でも50代前後からは似合うと思うデザイン）

今後参加される方の参考になればと思いつらつら記載しますが
話の中身に誇張が多く、ジュエリーの仕事をしている私は大変不快でした。
18金のゴールド、ピンクゴールド、ホワイトゴールドを組み合わせたネックレスは日本にはないと言いますが、存在します。
ハワイの道の道又で売られている金のアクセサリーはメッキで、変色するという話は本当だと思いますが
ホワイトゴールドは18金でもプラチナメッキをしているので変色する可能性はある（地金の色が出てくる）のにいかにも変色はないような言い方をされるのは、逆に日本ではありえません。

ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターに着く前にテンション下がるものでしたので
午後だけの参加をオススメします。

Three of us participated! ♫ There were about 12 other people from overseas joining as well. We took motion sickness medication beforehand, but the boat was rocking quite a bit while we were stopped at the point where the sharks were. Some people ended up vomiting before they even saw the sharks, so I strongly recommend taking motion sickness medication just in case, even if you don't usually get seasick.

Once we dove in from the enclosure, we encountered a lot of sharks! ♫ It's not often you get to see them up close, so it really gets your adrenaline pumping! The sharks' faces were clearly visible and they looked quite cute. (laughs)

Our turn was last, but we were in the same group as a dandy gentleman from the Middle East who had been vomiting since the beginning. Even while he was in the enclosure with the sharks, he couldn't stop vomiting, but everyone was laughing and having a good time about it. (laughs) Thanks to him, the sharks might have gathered around! (laughs)

The waves were strong even inside the enclosure, and I was clinging to the bars the whole time, but it’s definitely an activity worth trying! Just like with any activity, even Japanese people who can't speak English can become very friendly with participants from other countries. ♫ I would love to participate again when I go to Hawaii!

The zip line itself was very good. It felt great to cut through the wind while enjoying the beautiful scenery. It was a bit expensive at 70,000 yen for the three of us, but my son was very pleased as he took a lot of photos for Instagram, so I suppose it was worth it. Mahalo.

I confirmed my reservation with a phone call the day before, but I was asked when I made the reservation since it wasn't found (I had booked it in October of the previous year). Eventually, they found my name.

On the day of the event, I checked the color of the bus and the location. A green bus with zipline photos came to pick us up. We picked up three groups from other hotels and left fully booked. After leaving the last pickup hotel, we had just over an hour's drive, during which the members on board started introducing themselves.

After that, the driver shared information about local landmarks, Hawaiian history, the Hawaiian language, immigration history, and education, and before we knew it, we had arrived. After arriving, we used the restroom (there are no toilets along the course), stored our valuables and luggage, entered our consent forms on the computer (available in Japanese), put on helmets and gear, and started. (Only camera types that hang around the neck were allowed.)

After everyone cleared the practice course, we boarded the buggies to proceed to the main course. There were various instructions like extending arms, tightening arms, and bending legs, but I was quite scared (laughs). When I was saying, "I'm so nervous, wait a minute," the fun veteran guide joked, "I'm nervous too, it's my first day as a guide!"

Our group consisted of four family members (a couple and two elementary school children), three young girls from Australia, two parents from America, and two couples of unknown nationality, with three guides assisting us. Generally, one person helped with the gear, while two welcomed us at the finish line (there are two lanes for one course).

The course included not only sliding like Tarzan but also a section where firefighters climbed using only their arms, a bungee-like jump section, and towards the end, a backward challenge course and an upside-down challenge course (for those who wanted to try). There were also points for hydration, snacks with bananas, and snacks with tomatoes.

We completed all the courses in a friendly atmosphere and finished the two-hour course. They also sent us many photos for free via email. We were taken back by bus, creating wonderful memories.

As a side note, I was unsure about the timing for tips. When I asked an American participant, they said they gave $10 each to the guide right after finishing and thought it wasn't necessary for the driver. I hurriedly searched for the guide to give the tip, but they had gone to lunch, so I asked another staff member for help, which relieved me. However, since the children were also taken care of and we had fun, I wished I could have thanked the guide directly. During the round trip on the bus, I regretted not giving a little something to the driver who provided such a fun experience.

I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I understood English better, but they were very considerate towards my husband and two elementary school children, who hardly speak any English, so it was all good!

There are similar attractions in Japan that I have participated in, but compared to those, they helped with gear and ensured safety very well. They also communicated closely with each other using walkie-talkies to proceed smoothly. The course was well-paved, and since we were sliding from a high place, we didn't get dirty.

前日に予約確認の電話をしたのですが、予約が入っていない、いつ予約した？と聞かれ（前年の10月に予約）、ようやく名前を見つけてもらえました。
バスの色と、場所を確認して当日を迎えました。
ジップラインの写真付き緑のバスがお迎えに来ました。
他のホテルで3グループをピックアップし、満席の状態での出発でした。
最後のピックアップのホテルを出てから、1時間ちょっとのドライブでしたが、同乗したメンバーがそれぞれ自己紹介から始まりました。
その後、ドライバーさんが現在地の名所案内、ハワイの歴史、ハワイ語の紹介、移民の歴史、教育などについて話をしてくれて、あっという間に到着でした。
到着後、お手洗いを済ませ（コース途中にトイレはありません。）
貴重品・手荷物を預け、コンピューターで同意書を入力（日本語あり）して、ヘルメットや装具をつけて、スタートしました。（首にかけるタイプのカメラのみＯＫでした。）
最初、練習コースを全員クリアした後、バギーに乗って本番コースに進みました。
腕を伸ばす、腕をしめる、足を曲げる等々色んな注意がありましたが、恐怖でかなりびびりました（笑）
「緊張する～、ちょっと待って～～～」とビビっていたら、「僕も緊張してる～、僕もガイド初日なんだ～！」と冗談を言って笑わせてくれる楽しいベテランガイドさんでした。私たち家族4人（夫婦と小学生2人）、オーストラリアからの若い女の子たち3人、アメリカからの親子2人、国籍不明のカップル2人に対して3人のガイドさんでした。
基本一人が装着を手伝い、二人がゴール（１つのコースに対し、２レーンあります）が迎えてくれる流れでした。
ターザンのように滑っていくだけでなく、消防士さんがロープを腕だけで登って行くようなコース、バンジーのように飛び降りるコース、そして最後あたりでは、後ろ向きでチャレンジするコース、さかさまになってチャレンジするコース（チャレンジしたい人だけ）、がありました。
給水するポイント、バナナがおやつのポイント、トマトがおやつのポイントもありました。
和気あいあいとすべてのコースをすませ、2時間ほどのコースを終了。
写真もメールで無料でたくさん送ってくださいました。
バスで送ってもらって、良い思い出作りができました。

☆余談ですが、チップのタイミングに困りました。アメリカ人の参加者に聞いたら、終わってすぐ、ガイド一人に対して10ドルずつ渡した～、ドライバーには必要ないと思う～と言ってました。
大慌てで渡すためにガイドさんを探したのですが、ランチに行ってしまったそうで、他のスタッフさんにお願いして、ホッとしたのですが、子どもたちもケアしてもらったし、楽しかったので直接お礼を言って渡したかったな～と思いました。
往復中距離のバスの中、楽しいガイドをしてくださったドライバーさんにもやっぱり少しだけでもお渡しするべきじゃなかったなかな～と悔やんでます。

☆英語がもっと理解できたら、もっと楽しかった～と思いますが、ほとんど話せない夫・小学生子ども2人に対しても気配りをしてくださり、とっても楽しむことができたので、大丈夫です！！

☆日本でも似たようなアトラクションがあり、参加したことがあったのですが、それに比べて、ほとんど装着等手伝って安全確認もバッチリしてくださいます。またトランシーバーで密にスタッフ同士連絡を取り合ってくださって進めてくださいます。きちんとコースも舗装されていて、また高いところを滑っていくため、汚れたりもしません。

ノースショア・シャーク・アドベンチャー　迫力満点！至近距離で野生のサメを見学 ＜送迎可＞

I recommend it because sharks are beautiful. Be sure to prepare for restrooms, seasickness, and cold weather. サメは美しいのでお勧め。トイレ・船酔い・寒さ対策を是非。

From Waikiki, it takes about an hour by bus to the port on the west side. The port only has restrooms without doors, and the boat is a 15-person capacity without a restroom, so it's best to change and, if possible, use the restroom beforehand. Towels are not provided, so you need to bring your own. I went on April 12, and it was quite cold. The water temperature was probably around 20-22 degrees Celsius.

Rash guards are available for free rental, but there are only three, and some are short-sleeved, so considering the low water temperature, I think it's better for women and those who get cold easily to bring their own. The water surface can be quite choppy, so it's easy to get seasick while snorkeling and watching the sharks.

The sharks are in deeper water, and since the camera focuses mainly on the lower section of the cage, I recommend that those who are confident in diving grab onto the lower section or the bottom of the cage to quietly observe (as long as you can hold your breath). This way, you’re less likely to get seasick.

The sharks are very calm and beautiful. The water is clear, so to avoid ruining your experience with seasickness, please make sure to take motion sickness medication. I don’t usually get seasick, but I took some just in case, and I didn’t experience any seasickness.

The optional video and photos are $75 per group.

ワイキキからは西側の港で1時間ぐらいバスで移動です。
港には扉の無いトイレしかないし、ボートは15人乗りのトイレなしなので、着替え、出来ればトイレも済ませていった方が良いです。
バスタオルも配布されないので、持っていく必要あります。私が行ったのは4月12日でしたが、けっこう寒かったです。たぶん水温は20~22度ぐらい？
ラッシュは無料でレンタルありますが、３枚だけで半袖のものもあったので、水温が低いことを考えると、女性や寒がりの男性は自前のものがあった方が良いと思います。
水面が結構揺れるので、シュノーケルでサメを見ていると酔いやすいです。

サメも深いところにいるし、カメラも檻の下段を中心に撮っているので、潜るのに自信がある人は、潜って檻の下段や底に掴まって、静かに眺めることができるのでお勧めです（息が続く限りですが）。また、その方が酔わないです。

サメはとてもおとなしく美しいです。水も澄んでいますので、船酔いで台無しにしないように、酔い止めはぜひ飲んでいってください。
私は船酔いしない人ですが、いちおう飲んでいき、船酔いはありませんでした。

オプションのビデオと写真は75ドル/1グループ。

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

An Absolute Must See

Reviewed by: Extreme1

This was my 4th time here but 1st time for my girlfriend. Just as entertaining the 4th time as it was the first. Very educational and beautiful at the same time. My package included the Luau and that was good too. Not like the other ones I've been to but still was good. The evening show was excellent and very well performed. I highly recommend going to the Polynesian Culture Center to everyone who comes to Hawaii.
