I had a wonderful mini tour with our Japanese guide, Nana, who was kind and fun! The kids were thrilled with the gifts from Nana.
The buffet was at a level that I couldn't believe was the same as what I had ten years ago; it was so delicious that I felt like we didn't have enough time to enjoy the meal.
The evening show was the most impressive I've ever seen, with a spectacular fire dance that was a lot of fun. I felt it was worth more than the price we paid, and I was very satisfied.
日本人ガイドのナナさんの優しくて楽しいガイドで、ミニツアーを楽しみました!子どもたちはナナさんからのプレゼントで大興奮していました。
ブュッフェは10年前に食べたものと同じ内容とは思えないほどレベルが上がっており、食事時間が足りないと感じるほど美味しかったです。
イブニングショーは過去一番迫力があり、ファイヤーダンスも豪華で、とても楽しかったです。お値段以上と感じるほど大満足でした。
子どもたちにも大人たちにも場内ツアーは楽しく、旅程に余裕があるなら丸一日ココでも良いかも知れません。我が家にはミニツアーは短すぎました。
帰りのバスは雪国育ちの私たちがやられるほど寒いです。

I was amazed by the size and facilities of the place. I was surprised to find such a magnificent facility with staff located quite far from Honolulu. I'm also grateful that a Japanese university student attended to us.

Although my stay was short, the Japanese guide provided a thorough tour without wasting any time. It was very helpful and enjoyable. Without the guide, I probably would have wandered around the vast grounds without understanding anything. The buffet had an incredible variety and the food was very delicious. The main show featured more intense dance performances, resembling a musical rather than relaxed dancing, which was unexpected but fantastic. The location is far from Waikiki, but it was definitely worth the trip!
短時間での滞在でしたが、日本人のガイドさんが無駄な時間を作らないようにきっちりガイドしてくださいました。とても助かりましたし楽しかったです。たぶんガイドがなかったら広い敷地内をぼーっとして何もわからず終わってました。バイキングはものすごい種類豊富で味もとても美味しかったです。メインのショーはゆるりとしたダンスというよりはミュージカルのような激しめのダンスが多く予想外でしたが素晴らしかったです。場所はワイキキから遠いけど行く価値はありました!

My friends and I had a great time during this luau! There were a lot of activities to learn traditional manners of cooking, delicious food to eat, and an outstanding show with dance from all the Polynesian islands. I would truly recommend this experience to everyone! Everyone that worked there was very personable as well. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to actually explore the valley but I heard great things about that. I would definitely leave time before to go to the waterfall.

This is a theme park where you can see and experience the culture and shows of the Polynesian islands. I participated in an afternoon tour to see the evening show. The local Japanese student guide provided a clear explanation of the Polynesian countries, which was very educational.
The buffet had a wide variety of dishes and was easy to enjoy. The evening show lived up to its reputation, featuring a grand and impressive performance with a storyline, and the dancing was wonderful and moving. I would love to see it again. Next time, I want to go on a tour that departs in the morning so I can take my time exploring.
ポリネシアの島々の文化やショーを見たり体験できるテーマパークです。イブニングショー目当てに午後からのツアーに参加しました。

イブニングショーは評判通り、ストーリー性のある壮大で圧巻な演出、ダンスも素晴らしく感動的なショーでした。また観たいと思いました。今度は午前中出発のゆっくり回れるツアーで行きたいです。

Over 100 performers showcase songs and dances in a storytelling format. I've seen various luau shows, but this one is completely theatrical. Fortunately, I was seated in the front row, and I could feel the heat from the fire show, which was incredibly powerful.
Before the show starts, a Japanese guide takes you around the vast Polynesian Center, which was truly appreciated. For first-time visitors, it's easy to get lost and confused about where everything is.
100人以上の演者が物語形式で歌や踊りを披露します。ルアウショーは色々と見ましたが、こちらは完全に演劇です。幸運にも一番前の席に座れて、ファイアーショーの火の熱まで伝わって来てすごい迫力でした。
ショーが始まる前に広大なポリネシアセンターを日本人のガイドさんが回ってくれるのですが、これが本当にありがたかったです。初めて訪れる人はどこに何があるか掴めずグダグダになること間違いないです。

Tonight we went to an immersive and interactive luau -it was simply the best and I would highly recommend!
We all had such a great time - we were welcomed like family! We loved learning to drum, spin fire “knives”, wrap fish for cooking, bury the fish to cook on the hot rocks, have a traditional kava ceremony, and weave tea leaves to make bracelets, leis, etc. We then had a catered kalua pork dinner and got to eat the fish we wrapped and cooked. This was so much better than the commercialized luaus we have attended before! If you want a true family experience this is for you. If you want the commercialized cocktail filled experience this isn’t it!

The cultural center was amazing! The buffet had a wide variety of options, blending Japanese and Western styles, and my daughter seemed to enjoy it too! The shows were all in English, but I was completely captivated by the fun atmosphere created by the dancers! I think the quality was high, with a storyline that made it enjoyable even for those who don't understand English.
What was disappointing was the tour conductor.
They were responsible for the transportation from Waikiki to the venue and arranging the tickets, but when I arrived at the meeting point just 5 minutes before departure, I was scolded for being late and told it was a 10-minute departure. We sped to the center, and upon arrival, there was hardly any explanation before we dashed to the ticket booth. They quickly explained only the location of the show and left. I would have liked more information about what the tickets allowed access to and details about the activities inside that were not available.
カルチャーセンターは最高でした!
ビュッフェの種類もとても豊富で和洋折衷なんでもあり、一緒に行った娘も楽しめたようです!
ショーは全て英語でしたがダンサーさんの楽しい雰囲気にすっかり呑まれました!
クオリティ高く、ストーリー性があって英語がわからなくても楽しめるように作られていたと思います。
残念だったのがツアーコンダクターです。
ワイキキから現地までの送りとチケットの手配までの仕事でしたが…
出発5分前に集合場所に行ったら「10分前出発です。遅い」と怒られ、ものすごい勢いで車を飛ばしてセンターに到着したと思ったら、ほぼ中の説明なくチケット売り場まで猛ダッシュ。ショーの場所だけ説明してさっさと帰ってしまいました。

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?
