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

Wonderful Insight Polynesian People

Reviewed by: Tricia M Oxford UK

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

A show after 30 years. 30年ぶりのショー

Reviewed by: KKY

I saw the show for the first time in 30 years. The show had a storyline and felt completely different. The cast was large and their professionalism was impressive, which really moved me. I will definitely go again the next time I come to Hawaii.

30年ぶりにショーを見ました。ショーがストーリー化されていて別ものでした。出演者も大人数でプロ意識が高く感じるられすごく感動しました。次回もハワイに来る時は是非行きます。

I applied for the shuttle service, but there was no pickup included at the same price. 送迎付きに申込み、だが同一料金で迎えなし

Reviewed by: タカさん

I visited Hawaii for the first time in 40 years. I had also been to the Polynesian Cultural Center back then, so I signed up for the dinner and theater option tour, but it was only a drop-off service at the same price.

 40年振りにハワイ観光をしました。その時もポリネシアカルチャーセンターには、行きましたので、ディナーとシアターのみのオプションツアーを申し込みましたが、同一価格で送りのみでした。

We enjoyed walking to the falls, the cultural tour through the hales, the botanical gardens and the peacocks. But the lu'au dinner and show was amazing! We enjoyed the before dinner activities, delicious dinner and after dinner cultural dancing show. Definite highlight of our trip!

A truly remarkable experience!

Reviewed by: Krystle

We went to a Friday afternoon Luau and WOW! The experience was amazing. Streamlined and efficient, the serving and hospitality staff were exceptional. The show itself blew us away. The cultural activities were so fun for our 3 year old. We had been married the day before and they celebrated that with us, which was really special. It was such a great experience we will definitely go back when we are next on Oahu! Highly recommended A+++ great value for your money and time

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

Great Experience

Reviewed by: Guest of Feb15, 2023

This was an interesting and excellent experience. Even though the activities were not that interesting to me as an adult, it is great for kids. I had a excellent experience watching my 2 year old enjoy it. The main person who did all the talking was courteous and enjoyable. He had the right timings for his jokes which I appreciated a lot. Also the way the others in his group contributed was entertaining. They seemed as if they were naturals at entertaining people.
I would say that for a group that has only been doing this for a few years, they knew what they were doing and they were great!

I highly recommend this, especially for families!

My family had a great time!

The best Luau on the Island!

Reviewed by: Anniversary

This is one experience you do not want to miss. Don’t pick just any luau! This was includes the ability to hike/ride a shuttle to a water fall! The entertainment is incredible and the history is the most enriching thing I’ve experienced. The staff are fun, friendly, and purposeful!
Seriously, don’t pass this up!

Definitely worth a visit. 行く価値あり

Reviewed by: あーちゃん

I chose this show without dining options considering the infection aspect. Also, since it has a roof, it seemed fine even if it rains. It takes just under an hour from Waikiki, but it's worth the trip. I don't understand much English, but I got the general idea. Moreover, it was incredibly impressive!! It was the best show I've seen so far. I was at the very end of the front row, but the production was designed to be easy to see even from the side, so it wasn't a problem. I definitely want to participate again next time.

感染面を考え、飲食を伴わないこちらのショーを選びました。また、屋根もあるため雨が降っても大丈夫そうなので選びました。
ワイキキからは1時間弱かかりますが、行く価値ありです。英語はあまり分かりませんが、大体内容はわかりました。しかも、ものすごく見応えあり!! 今までのショーで1番でした。
最前列の1番端でしたが、端でも見やすい演出になっているので問題ありませんでした。
次回も、またぜひ参加したいです。

Waimea Valley Toa Luau & Free Admission Entry Ticket to Waimea Falls [5:00 PM]

I wish I had left more time to explore the Valley!

Reviewed by: Kris H

The grounds are beautiful and larger than I expected. We allowed an hour to explore the grounds but could have easily spent 2-3 hours looking at all of the scenery. The luau was a lot of fun. There were some hands-on activities before we were seated which were fun. Once seated, we had a great meal and were offered seconds. I could barely finish my 1st plate:)
The entertainment was truly fun. Lots of stories, dancing, singing and some comedy. The closing of the show had fire dancers and one was a 10-year-old boy who could twirl the fire stick outrageously fast. Overall, this was a great experience which I would do again if I were in Honolulu with a car.

Excellent Excursion

Reviewed by: Terri

The PCC was a wonderful place to spend a day. We felt welcome and valued by everyone. The activities and shows were really fun and entertaining, and the place is beautifully maintained.

Our tour operators were also very good. There was a guide waiting at the pickup location, helping everyone to sign in and get ready for the bus. While we were enroute, the guide was entertaining and helped the time pass quickly. Then at the end of the day, the bus was right there where we were told it would be, and the trip home was smooth.

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 had a great time, celebrated our anniversary! The family that hosted the luau was wonderful and we were impressed with every aspect of the luau. If you are staying on Waikiki beach, be prepared for an hour drive to get there. We didn’t account for that length of time so we didn’t get to appreciate the hiking available beforehand.

Love the show!

Reviewed by: Wong

The host was funny and great knowledge about his own culture and traditions. It’s our first time so I wouldn’t be able to compare with other Luau. The show was about the different Polynesian cultures dance so just not only about the fire dance that gets everyone excited. It shows you the dance and the cultures. The Waimea fall is not flowing right now secondary the drought, ( last time occurred in 1992) so my family was little disappointed that couldn’t see the fall and swim in the pond. Look at bright side, this doesn’t happen all the time and I got to see a waterfall without water. Wished there was some warning ahead and I would have planned differently. Otherwise it was still a nice trail for family to walk.

My whole family loved this luau! The fact that it also includes entry to the park is a steal; it's beautiful! Our host was very funny and personable. I loved that they have cultural activities like showing the people attending the luau how to open coconuts, and weave leaves into a headband. The food was good, and the host was giving special shoutouts to people who were celebrating things like anniversaries, graduations, etc. The people who were doing the dances did great! Even my sister that's 3 years old was super entertained. You really get a family feel at this luau; shoutout to the 9-year old kid who was doing some fire dancing as well! It was awesome and I definitely prefer giving my money here than some random resort doing shows. The vibe is 10/10!
