They accompanied us throughout, so even as beginners, we were able to enjoy ourselves with peace of mind. The horses were calm, smart, and wonderful! They even took commemorative photos for us, making it a great memory of Hawaii.

The villages were quite a treat! Quite personal, few crowds, and thoroughly educational & entertaining!
The buffet dinner had many choices, but we were not too happy with the quality of the main dishes; beef was of low quality, somewhat tough, & often cold by the time it got to our table; chicken was again of poor quality & soaked in unusual sauces; fish likewise. Would prefer less choices & better quality! Service was good.

My family wanted to do the Horseback riding while vacationing in Hawaii.
This location was AMAZING! We drove out to the other side of the island, which was pretty awesome to be away from the touristy rside.
Our tour guide was a young gal who treated my family GREAT! She was very professional, kind and knowable about horses. I believe her name was Freda
The path (trail) we took was absolute Breathe taking. The ocean is sooooooo beautiful. Better than the tourist side! Even the grassy trails were . The horses are beautiful, well trained and they looked professionally cared for.
I rate Frida , the horses, the trail with 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Now… as for the other gal (straight blonde hair) who also was NOT our tour guide. I believe her name was Phoebe Giving her ⭐️
She was not interested in interacting with my family.
Wow.. as soon as youngsters arrived for their tour… Phoebe, was SOCIAL and guided them with EVERYTHING and she was giddy too. Total change.
We were all grouped together but would be toured separately. When she spoke out she said, you’ll go out separately and you’ll be taken out by me or Freda. Bam, I already knew she wasn’t going to be our tour guide because we weren’t young as the other group. She wanted to tour the ones closest to her age group. That’s perfectly fine but you’re not supposed to make it so obvious.
Anyhow, we were so PLEASED to have Freda guide us. She made this experience GREAT that we would do this again with her!

I highly recommend booking a snorkeling adventure with Ocean Outfitters! Tyler and Captain Brandon were excellent tour guides! We enjoyed an exhilarating 20 minute boat ride to the rock island where you can climb up and jump off into 25 foot deep waters. While snorkeling, we saw lots a fish, coral, some sea urchins, a sea cucumber, and many dolphins and turtles en route to and from the island. So much fun!

I had a trouble right before and ended up being late for the meeting time (I had contacted them by phone in advance), but I was asked whether I would prefer to ① reschedule for another date or ② join from the middle, and I was able to reschedule for a later time on the same day. The zip line was numerous and long, so it was extremely fun!! I feel like this is the best zip line you can book on Oahu! However, the conversation is basically in English, so you are expected to respond in English to some extent. But even if you can't speak well, they will follow up properly, so there's no need to be too scared.
One point about Google Maps: the link provided here does not lead to the reception area. If you look around the area on Google, you might see a couple of locations, but the correct place is a bit further away, not the one closer to Kamehameha Hwy. Please be careful if you are accessing by car from the north!

直前にトラブル発生してしまい集合時間に遅れてしまった(事前に電話で連絡はしていた)のですが、
①別の日時に振り替える
②途中から参加する
のどちらが良いか尋ねられ、当日の遅い時間帯に振り替えることができました。ジップラインは数も多く、長いので非常に楽しかったです!!
オアフ島で申し込めるジップラインとしてはこれが最高な気がします!
ただ、基本的に会話は英語なので、英語である程度受け答えすることは求められます。でも話せなくてもちゃんとフォローしてくれるのでそこまで怖がらなくても大丈夫です。
一点、Googleの地図ですが、ここで掲載されているリンク先が受付ではありません。Googleで付近を見ると2つほど地点が見えると思うのですが、Kamehameha Hwyから近いほうでは無く、少し離れたところが正しい場所になります。北方面から車でアクセスする方は注意してください!

The directions listed on the voucher did not include guidance from the Haleiwa area, which led to some confusion as I thought I should turn on Einos Rd. I was also flustered because Google Maps provided incorrect directions. When coming from Haleiwa, you should pass Einos Rd, continue for a while, and then turn right at the sign after passing the church on your right. Unfortunately, we encountered rain several times along the way, but the zipline experience itself was very enjoyable, and the staff were friendly. Even though we didn't understand English well, we had a great time.
バウチャーに記載のdirectionはハレイワ方面からの案内は記載されておらずイーノスRdで曲がるものと思い道に迷いました。Google mapでも誤った指示がされたので焦りました。ハレイワから行く際はイーノスRdをパスして暫く教会を右手に通り越して看板を右折です。残念ながら途中で何回か雨に降られましたがジップライン自体は大変さ楽しかったです、スタッフも気さくで英語が分からない自分達も充分に楽しめました。

There are sharks everywhere, not just a few. Sharks in 360 degrees.
The cage is so wide that not only my hands and feet but even my body can easily stick out; in fact, if the sharks really try, they could get in too. It's a tour that depends on the sharks' mood.
There were no Japanese participants, but there was one Japanese staff member, which made me feel very reassured.
A GoPro is essential; it seems you can rent one there too. I think it will be a topic of conversation for ages, so you should definitely take photos and videos. I’ll probably brag about it to my grandchildren right before I die.
I was in the cage for 20 minutes, but I think 10 minutes would have been enough (laughs). In the first half, I was moved by seeing the sharks, and in the second half, I was just swaying around like in a washing machine. I got seasick. You will definitely get seasick. Even if you take motion sickness medication, you will still feel it.
The staff member said the weather on the day I participated was very calm, but once you're in the cage, that doesn't matter; you will get seasick.
On the way back on the boat, a handsome guy with bronze hair was throwing up right in front of me. The boat was moving at a decent speed, so the vomit was flying sideways. Even while throwing up, he was still handsome.
The distance from the hotel in Waikiki to the North Shore is too far, so it's better to check your transportation options properly. It seemed like everyone came by rental car. We took a bus transfer, but I was most worried about whether we would make it there.
Overall, I was very satisfied! I don't think I'll ever get the chance to swim with sharks again in my life, so if you're hesitating, you should definitely do it. You’ll get to see the handsome guy's blue face.
サメがうじゃうじゃおる、ちらほらじゃない。360度サメ。
檻の幅が広すぎて手足どころか身体も全然出る、なんならサメも頑張りゃ入れる。サメのお気持ち次第のツアー。
参加者に日本人はいなかったけど、スタッフに1人日本人のお兄さんがいたのでとっても安心でした。
GoProは必須、向こうでもレンタル出来るみたい。未来永劫話のネタになると思うから絶対写真も動画も撮るべき。死ぬ直前にも孫に自慢する思う。
20分檻の中に居たけど、10分でええと思った(笑)前半はサメ見て感動して、後半は洗濯機の中でただただ揺られてた。酔う。絶対に酔う。酔い止め飲んでも酔う。
自分が参加した日の気候、めちゃくちゃ穏やかってお兄さん言ってたけど、檻の中入りゃあそんなん関係ない、酔います。
帰りの船の中、ブロンズヘアのイケメンが目の前でずっと吐きょうた。まあまあの速度で船動いとるからゲロが真横に吹き飛んでた。吐いててもイケメンはイケメン。
ワイキキのホテルからノースショアまでが遠すぎて、足はちゃんと調べた方が良い。みんなレンタカーで来てたっぽい。自分たちはバス乗り継いで行ったけど、辿り着けるかが1番不安だった。
総じて大満足!サメと泳げることとか多分これからの人生でないと思うから、迷ってるならやるべき。イケメンの青い顔が見れます。

I was very scared of heights, and wasn’t too sure I would make it through the activity. But we were a group of 12 including 3 of the staff and I must say the staff were incredibly supportive, attentive, friendly. You could really see they enjoyed what they do. They made us feel safe every step of the way. I’m so sorry I forgot their names, but everyone there was very welcoming. It was a 3 hour activity, 7 zip lines but we had a great time, we didn’t wanted to be over. Beautiful ocean and ranch view. I would go again. Really recommend for everyone.

We chose this luau because of the beautiful setting in the Waimea Valley. Would recommend getting to the North Shore early in the day, spend some time at Waimea Bay then tour the Park and Falls before the luau. Much better to experience this cultural experience in such a stunning, natural setting.We had our teenage son and daugher with us and our mother and everyone had a great time. The family and staff work hard, wearing a variety of hats throughout the evening-serving dinner, running the lawn activities, and of course performing a large variety of authentic dances and music. The host is genuine and the food was very good. Everything tastes authentic and high quality. The whole operation was enjoyable, I even enjoyed the lawn activities more than I expected. We reviewed many luaus on Oahu and are very glad we chose this one.
Aloha LJT and mahalo for taking the time to write us this review and for sharing your experience at the luau. Mahalo for the recommendation, we appreciate it! We're glad that you enjoyed your time at the luau and had fun exploring the gardens and the waterfall. Hope we'd see you again the next time you're on the island! Mahalo nui loa!

Was so impressed with the overall layout of the PCC. Upon arrival there are restrooms, water refill stations. Shops selling lots of good value and different styles of gifts. We started with a ride on the canoe through the villages , the guide was knowledge and told us about the fifferent countries also very interactive with the younger children. We visited as many villages as possible , experienced aspects of their culture through dance, craft or food. It is clear to see the young peoples love of their countries and culture. The buffet was way beyond my expectations, proper dining experience, we were able to taste all foods and it was self service, chicken,beef pork,fish, rice,noodles,salads and so many desserts the list goes on. Very disappointed to see people wasting so much food, piling plates with too much food, especially when the culture of the Polynesian people is to value food and not waste food. We were thanked for supporting the PCC, the monies raised support the students to study and return to their countries to improve the lives of others. Would highly recommend great day out

We did the Admission only package, which is great for families with young kids. It rained the entire day but it was still fun and we enjoyed the experience. We were able to follow our own schedule and still head over the see the different villages even if we were not on the presentation schedule. The boat ride was a highlight for my kids and the giudes were very safety-oriented and made sure everyone was engaged in the narration.
The canoe ride ended on the other side of the park, with walkable access to the villages of Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti), and Hawaii. We were able to play some of the games and even check out some of the historical village buildings.
Don't forget to check out their very own large sailing canoe that was built by the staff and students who work at the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU in La'ie. Ask about its story - it's truly remarkable.
The visit to PCC was very much worth doing during our trip. I highly recommend Polynesian Cultural Center!
