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

Polynesian Cultural Center

Reviewed by: Winn

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.

Being near the ocean is nice too! 海の近くもいいね♪

Reviewed by: まっちゃん

Choosing the day before the Honolulu Marathon turned out to be a great decision, as there were only the two of us participating that day, which felt like a real bonus!
As we passed through the sandy beach and bushes, our guide, the cowgirl, provided continuous guidance.
Even though my English isn't that great, she spoke slowly enough that I could communicate fairly well.
I was able to enjoy a leisurely ride without getting my clothes dirty from dust.
Depending on the season, you can also see seals and sea turtles.
The cowgirl spotted a sea turtle, but I couldn't see it ^^;

あえてホノルルマラソンの前日を選んだのが良かったのか、当日参加者は私たち二人だけで、すごく得した気分♪
砂浜やブッシュの間を通り抜けながら、ガイドのカウガールがずーっとガイドしてくれます。
英語がそれほど得意ではない私でも、けっこうコミュニケーションが取れるぐらいゆっくり喋ってくれました。
土ぼこりで服が汚れることもなく、のんびりとライディングが楽しめました。
季節によって、アザラシや海亀も見られるようですよ。
カウガールは海亀を見つけましたが、私は見えませんでした^^;

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

Shark tank

Reviewed by: Robyn

The shark tank was a blast! The crew was fun, professional, lots of energy, they made the experience worthwhile. They made us a video, totally worth the extra $, explained everything extremely well. I was a little unsure as we entered the cage but once we got in and saw all the sharks no fear, just fun. We saw many sharks, they were curious swimming around the cage, they didn't try to ram it or anything crazy. Just a great morning swimming with the sharks! This is a must!!

Hawaii Polo Oceanfront Trail Rides - North Shore Horseback Riding Sunset Tour

Amazing experience - even for a man

Reviewed by: Matt and Daisy

This was way better than I was expecting. The tour guide Morgan was a wealth of knowledge and even though she had probably ridden the route a thousand times was enthusiastic and talkative. She gave interesting facts about the area and was a great source of information about the island and local places to visit.

I recommend this tour for anyone (even men). I was apprehensive about going as when I showed up with my girlfriend I was the only guy going riding, but it was great and perfect for a beginner horse rider like myself.

The trail is a nice mix of beach and country. A great way to get up close and personal with the hawaiian landscape.

I would recommend this to everyone who is considering it.

Horseback riding in the rain! 雨の中の乗馬!

Reviewed by: HIRO

Horseback riding at Kualoa Ranch is great, but I wanted to try a long ride along the coast! Our family of six participated. Unfortunately, it was rainy, but the staff were friendly and smiling, even though they could hardly speak Japanese. They also took care to cover the saddles with waterproof covers right up until we mounted, which made the whole family very satisfied. Everyone hopes for a chance to ride on a sunny day next time! What stood out the most was how the staff treated the horses like family, and they took great care of them, looking very happy themselves. I sincerely hope they continue this in the future.

クアロアランチなどの乗馬もいいけどロングで海沿いコースの乗馬をしてみたい!とファミリー6人で参加しました。生憎の雨模様でしたが、スタッフの方々の笑顔や日本語はほとんど話せないけれど、とてもフレンドリーでした。また、鞍などにも騎乗直前まで水濡れ防止のカバーをかけてくれる心遣いもあり家族も大満足。今度は快晴の乗馬を期待したいと皆リベンジを希望!!一番感じたのは、スタッフの方々が馬を家族として接しているし馬の手入れもしっかり出来ていてなによりとても幸せそうでした。是非、今後も続けてほしいと願っています。

Luxurious horseback riding environment 贅沢な乗馬環境

Reviewed by: 家族旅行

This year, we went horseback riding again at my daughter's request. Since this was the only place where we could enjoy the seaside, we chartered a car and went for the first time. It was very pleasant, and the wonderful environment and scenery were the epitome of luxury. There is no shuttle service, so it can be inconvenient for those who don't drive, but I think it's worth chartering a ride to experience the vast nature, and I highly recommend it. Since they don't speak Japanese, just smile!

娘の希望で今年も乗馬。海辺を満喫できるのはこちらしか無かったので、車をチャーターして初めて行きました。とても気持ちよく、素晴らしい環境と景色は贅沢の極みでした~。送迎も無いので、運転しない方には不便ば場所ではありますが、チャーターして出向く価値のある広大な自然に大満足されると思いますのでお勧めです。日本語が通じないので、そこば笑顔で!

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!

North Shore Hiking Tours from Haleiwa with Expert Local Guide & Lunch

Unbelievable Experience

Reviewed by: Kyle

What an amazing outdoor experience! This hike is a must do if you'd like to get a better understanding of the hidden nature Hawaii has to offer. Our guides, Keola and Marcella, shared a wealth of knowledge and gave us an unforgettable and valuable tour of the forested region of Oahu. Some parts of the trail are strenuous, so be prepared with some good hiking shoes/boots and plenty of water. We also had the opportunity to taste the fruit the trail had to offer, simply delicious. I highly recommend trying this hike if you plan on visiting the North Shore.

Thank you very much for participating. We are truly sorry to hear that you felt unwell due to the high waves. The height of the waves can be affected by the weather on the day, but for those who are concerned, we recommend taking motion sickness medication in advance, as noted on the activity page. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

この度はご参加いただき誠にありがとうございます。波が高かったようで、ご気分が悪くなられたとの事、誠に残念でございます。当日の天候により波の高さは左右されますが、ご心配な方は事前に酔い止め薬を飲まれることをアクティビティページ上でも推奨させていただいております。貴重なご意見をありがとうございました。

One Of A Kind Experience!

Reviewed by: MR1977

I can't recommend a better way to capture the essence of Hawaii than on this beach trail ride. The scenery is beautiful, relaxing and the overall experience made our trip that much more memorable. We saw sea turtles and even caught a glimpse of an endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal. The horses are very well trained polo ponies that do trail rides in their spare time. ...just another reason that makes this ride unique. The guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. we will be back!

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.

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!

In domestic horseback riding, there is usually someone to lead the horse, and you typically go around a designated area. However, here, I was able to ride alone on the well-trained horses until my backside hurt. However, no one spoke Japanese at all, but it didn't cause any particular inconvenience.

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

Without a doubt, the best thing I did all week.

Reviewed by: Rob R

When my friend asked me to do this with him, I was a bit hesitant. Not knowing what to expect, my imagination relived several scenes in "Jaws". After doing some research and coming to the realization that North Shore does this on a daily basis without people loosing limbs, I agreed. It turned out to be an absolutely phenomenal experience. We arranged for the hotel pickup and once in the van, took the 45 minute ride to the North Shore area of Oahu. Once at the marina, it's about a 20-30 minute ride out to the cage. The Captain went over all the safety instructions thoroughly and describes what types of sharks we would be seeing. His shark lecture was very informative and wasn't stumped when questions were asked. Once at the site, the cage is secured to the side of the boat and after the 8-10 passengers get in, the cage is allowed to float away about 20 feet. Observing the sharks was a thing of beauty and simply can't be described in words. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Circle Island Sightseeing Tour & Full-Day Polynesian Cultural Center Tickets

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.
