The show was amazing! That's all there is to say. Since it was a deluxe course, we had great seats, but the standard seats might actually offer a good view of the entire show as well. It takes about 1 to 1.5 hours from Waikiki one way. The bus has strong air conditioning, so I recommend bringing a light jacket and socks.
ショーが素晴らしい!これに尽きます。デラックスコースだったので、もちろんいい席だったのですが、スタンダードでも逆にショー全体が見渡せていいかもしれません。
ワイキキから片道1時間〜1時間半くらいかかります。バスの冷房が強めにかかっているので、羽織るものと靴下を持参されるといいと思います。

The food felt like a typical American buffet. The show was not just a regular hula dance; it was a story, so I was able to watch it without getting bored. The authentic fire show was quite impressive. The ice cream you get during the break was so generous that I couldn't finish it.
料理は普通のアメリカのビュッフェって感じでした。ショーは普通のフラダンスではなく、物語になっていたので飽きずに見れました。本場のファイヤーショーはかなりすごかったです。休憩の時にもらえるアイスはボリュームがありすぎて食べきれませんでした。

I finally got to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, which I had wanted to go to for a long time.
I have been learning HULA in Japan, and I splurged on a deluxe reservation to enjoy the evening show from a good seat.
In the end, I was really glad I chose the deluxe option.
During the day, you will be walking quite a bit under the blazing sun, so it's essential to prepare with water and a hat.
Thanks to a brief rain shower, I was lucky enough to see a beautiful rainbow.

I cannot recommend the regular course in the afternoon. I just walked around the park and got tired. The free bus tour involves religious solicitation, so it's better to avoid it. It was boring. The theater had a Japanese show at 5 PM, so if you have time, please check it out. Overall, everything was boring except for the night show.

As this was my wife's first trip to Hawaii, we visited the center. I'd never been before either.
We both thoroughly enjoyed the day and our guide. We paid for the Ambassador level and it was worth every penny as you are guided through the center with a personal touch.
The center was very informative and the luau was very good.
We'll be returning again as there is so much to see and learn that it can't be covered in ine day, even with a guide.

Two years ago, I went to see a show with my husband, and when I decided to go to Hawaii this time with my daughter, my husband said I should take her to the Polynesian show because it's great. I thought to myself that it would be my second time, but we went to see the show anyway. It was truly amazing! The dance was powerful and wonderful! My daughter was also delighted. The buffet meal was good too. This time, I went for the deluxe option (laughs).

Since it is far from Waikiki, it takes half a day or a full day. There are various attractions in Hawaii, so the choice depends on personal preference, but it can be enjoyed by both children and adults. The standard ticket is fine, but on busy days, it is believed that purchasing a higher-priced ticket will provide a better experience.
ワイキキからは、遠いため、半日または1日、時間を取られてしまいます。ハワイの見所は、色々あるんで、チョイスは個人の嗜好によりますが、子供から大人まで楽しめます。チケットのランクは、スタンダードでも、問題ありません。ただ、混んでる日にちでは、高いチケットを購入した方が、より楽しめるはずだと思われます。

We had a guide with us as we toured the center. The course was predetermined, and there was an interesting event happening at the neighboring booth that I really wanted to check out, but we ended up making flowers out of leaves instead, so we couldn't see it. Overall, it felt like what we wanted to see didn't align with the course we were following. Next time, maybe just a shuttle between the hotel and the center would be enough...

It took about an hour by bus from the hotel to the show location, but a Japanese student working part-time at a local university served as our guide. They shared fun local stories, making the journey very enjoyable. The meal before the show was also hearty and delicious, and the show itself, which included a fire show, was quite impressive.

I was the only Japanese person on the shuttle bus, and the driver's explanations were only in English. It seemed that all the other passengers were from English-speaking countries, which made me feel quite out of place and anxious. When we arrived at the center, I found myself standing at the gate without anyone to guide me (how embarrassing). Fortunately, a Japanese staff member at the center (a student, I learned, who was preparing for exams) approached me and ended up helping me throughout my visit. They took the time to guide me slowly for half a day, and I was very satisfied. Although I felt anxious during the bus ride, in the end, I received a very thorough tour of the center and was able to enjoy the experience. The bus ride has now become a good memory, as it made me truly feel that I was in a foreign country. There were people from various countries.
The main show was wonderful. I was moved by the charm of hula and the intensity of the fire dance. I thought it would feel long, but the half day flew by. I'm glad I chose the afternoon course. It was so much fun.
送迎のバスには日本人は当方のみ・・・バスの運転手さんがしてくれている説明も英語のみ。

I participated in the tour because my parents, especially my father, liked it.
This was my first experience, while my parents had been there 3 or 4 times before. The show has a narrative style, and the content is in the local languages (various Polynesian languages) or English, so I think it's good to understand the content before watching. By the way, a simple overview is provided in a Japanese pamphlet. Since it was my first time, I was quite excited, but my parents, who are repeat visitors, seemed disappointed, saying, "It wasn't as impressive as before." Nevertheless, it's a great opportunity to see each culture, or rather the dances. The climax, the fire show, is also quite powerful.
The deluxe course meal is just okay. If I had to wish for something, it would be for a bit more variety. Ordering juice each time is a bit of a hassle, but it was nicely presented. Also, during the breaks in the show, you can get a large ice cream for free. It's quite big, so you might not be able to finish it!
両親、特に父が好きでツアーに参加しました。
私は初体験、両親は3,4度目の体験です。
ショーは物語調になっており、内容は現地語(ポリネシアンの各々の言葉)か英語ですので、内容を把握されてから見ると良いと思います。
ちなみに簡単な内容は日本語のパンフレットに書いてあります。
私は初なのでそれなりにエキサイトしましたが、リピーターの両親は「前よりも迫力がなくなった」と残念そうでした。
それでも各々の文化、と言うより踊りですが、を見るにはうってつけです。クライマックスのファイアーショーも迫力はあります。
デラックスコースの食事はまぁまぁです。
欲をいえばもう少し種類が多いと有り難いです。
ジュースはその都度注文するのが少し面倒ですが、きれいに飾られてありました。
あと、ショーの合間に無料で大きなアイスがもらえます。
