It was great. However it rained all day. We were not prepared for this weather. The rain ponchos they sell were good so that we can walk around to the different islands. The islanders performers were authentic and beautiful. We learned so many things. In general it was a wonderful time experience! The Buffett Had a lot of variety and good service. The quality of the food was ok. Not great. The Ha show was outstanding!!!

We loved the PCC and all it offered. I still admit the Samoa man Cap, is still my favorite, even after 15 years, he's still there and such a delight. We loved the origami birds also in Samoa. So much to see and enjoy. We love you!!!

The whole tour was fantastic. My family and I had a wonderful time. Seeing the different cultures and stile of living and activities was astounding. The shows that they put on in each island was energetic and very informative. We also watched the final show the Breath of Life. Don’t want to spoil it so you have to come and see it in person. Part of our tour was the food that was included in our purchase. The food was phenomenal. So many different type of food from different cultures. Again you must come and experience it yourself. A five star in my books.

I would highly recommend that anyone who visits the islands go explore the Polynesian Culture Center. There is rich culture and knowledge and pride to be embraced. The tribes are welcoming and the proceeds go toward supporting the local college students. They engage the crowds and make it fun. The food and entertainment is amazing. There are several local artists with shops for souvenirs to take home. I’ve made it a point to visit the center every time I’ve visited the island and it’s always amazing.

Great place to visit. Highly recommend going but honestly will next time rent a car or take an Uber and just pay at the park or on line for tickets. We went with buffet and stayed for the show. Things could get hairy at the end because the bus you arrive in may not be the same you head back on. There are multiple buses waiting and you have to ask each driver if they are going to your stop. We were very lucky to hit the right bus on the first try. Need a better system. Great place to visit with kids. Folks there are super friendly.

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a beautiful, fun, living museum. Pacific Island Native people use songs and traditional dances to tell the stories of their culture. They have reverence for the Islands and also have fun showing the beauty and fun of their heritage. We visitors are referred to as “Family”. We are made to feel very welcome and are invited to participate in crafts, dance and games with the Island people. The Buffett and the show are wonderful. Thank you!!!

While we enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural Center overall, this day was entirely too long for our taste. There really wasn't much to do at the center to fill up our time, so we just sitting around waiting for the Luau dinner. And, the gift shop is on the other side of the entrance, so we couldn't even shop to kill time, which we would have loved to do.
The Luau was delicious, especially the welcome drink in the pineapple. And, the show was fantastic, but we were tired of being there all day.
So, if you want to waste a full day in paradise with not much to do, then this is the excursion for you.

The PCC was great. The shows from the villages were funny and informative. Each had their own story to tell. The buffet was really good. It’s worth the money and the time. To be able to see things before the buffet I would suggest showing up around 1200 to look at the shops and then go right into the culture center g go if the activities and shows.

This was the highlight of my first trip to Oahu so I definitely recommend this activity to any tourist for all ages. There is so much to see that you definitely cannot watch all the shows and activities all in one day so definitely suggest getting there early. This is a great way to learn the different cultures - dance, traditions, food, etc. Highly suggest you wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking a lot.

Two Japanese students served as our guides, which made us feel at ease during our trip. On the way to our destination, they shared various stories about Hawaiian spots, recommended dishes at the buffet in the Polynesian Cultural Center, and suggested foods to try in Hawaii.
Unfortunately, we only had a little over an hour between the buffet and the show, so we didn't have much time to eat leisurely or look around for souvenirs, which was a bit disappointing. Since we had a reserved bus for the return trip, we had to head straight to the bus right after the show ended.
The buffet was absolutely delicious! I was completely full and very satisfied. There were a few Japanese staff members in the buffet area.
The show is held outdoors but has a roof, so it might be a good idea to bring a light jacket. The performance was impressive, featuring fire and singing that was truly moving! The content was briefly outlined in the pamphlet, which helped us understand what we were watching.
I heard that the Polynesian Cultural Center is as large as three Tokyo Domes, and it's said that you can't see everything in just one day. Since we only did the buffet and the show this time, I would like to explore more places on my next visit! I'm really glad I went.
日本人学生の方2名がガイドをしてくれたので安心して行くことができました。
現地に着くまでに、ハワイのスポットのお話やポリネシアカルチャーセンターのビュッフェでおすすめの料理やハワイでのおすすめの食べ物など色々な事を教えてくださいました。
ビュッフェからショーまでの時間が1時間とちょっとしかなかったので、ご飯を食べてゆっくりお土産など周りを見る時間がなかったのが少し残念でした。帰りのバスも予約していたため、ショーが終わってからすぐバスに向かわなければなりませんでした。
ビュッフェはとっても美味しかったです!お腹いっぱいになりましたし、とても満足でした。ビュッフェ内でのスタッフさんは日本人の方がちらほらいました。
ショーは屋根付きですが外なので、羽織るものを一枚持っていくと、いいかと思います。
ショーは迫力がありました。火を使ったり歌だったり感動しました!内容もパンフレットに少しだけ書いてあるので、理解しながら観る事が出来ました。
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターは東京ドーム3個分もの広さがあると聞きました。1日じゃ回りきれないとのことでした。今回はビュッフェとショーだけだったので、次行く時は色々なところを回ってみたいと思いました!
行って本当に良かったです。

I enjoyed the largest dance show in Hawaii, the Polynesian show! On the last night of my stay in Hawaii during Golden Week, I participated in a local tour. I had a desire to see Hawaiian dance, so I was very satisfied to be able to watch the performance. Since it’s not held every night, I think it’s a good idea to check the schedule in advance and adjust your plans accordingly. If you visit Oahu, definitely consider participating!

We went on our honeymoon. Since we rented a car, it took us about an hour to get from Waikiki. Our dinner show started at 6 PM, so we checked out some sightseeing points along the way to the Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) in advance (Kualoa Ranch, Kailua, local Tamura's Store). We were able to enjoy the natural beauty of Hawaii while driving through the countryside and along the coast.
Dinner was served from 6 PM to 7 PM in a dedicated buffet hall. The hall had a 360-degree depiction of Polynesian history, creating a great atmosphere. The main dish, crab, could not be refilled as it was exchanged for tickets, but it was satisfying enough. The large roast pork, sliced thickly by the chef, was so tender and juicy that it was easy to bite into, and I went back for seconds multiple times. Also, drinks were free, and the pineapple juice was delicious.
As for the show, it was definitely worth the hour drive from Waikiki. The stage design was impressive, and the show was powerful. I will go again when our family grows. Mahalo.
ハネムーンで行きました。レンタカーを借りていたのでワイキキから1時間で着きました。18時からのディナーショーでしたので日中はあらかじめPCC(ポリネシアンカルチャーセンター)までの道中によるべきポイントをチェックして観光しました。(クアロアランチ、カイルア、ローカルなタムラズストア)田舎の街並みや海沿いをひたすら走るのでハワイの自然を感じながらむかうことができました。
ディナーは18時から19時まで、専用のビッフェホールで食べました。(ホール内にはポリネシアンの歴史が360度描かれていて雰囲気があります)
メインのカニはチケットと引き換えなのでおかわりできませんが十分な食べ応えでした。
でかいローストポークをシェフが厚切りにスライスするプライムリブは軽く歯がはいるほど柔らかくてジューシーです、何度もおかわりしました。あと、飲み物も無料です。パイナップルジュース美味しかったです。
肝心のショーですが、
ワイキキから1時間かけて見に行った甲斐がありました。ステージの作り込みもすばらしい迫力のショーでした。
家族が増えたらまた行きます。マハロ
