North Shore
We enjoyed the trip and the experience, and the driver Jason was wondeful! Thank you!
This was a very interesting event learning about the different cultures of the islands, The shows they put on where outstanding, our personal guide Rene was fantastic and very knowledgeable. The luau show were great, and the finale of The Breath of Life show is a must see, that was just plain awesome !!
Kellina, our guide on Oahu, was wonderful. I would love to meet her again next time.
Her interesting talks were filled with rich knowledge, and I truly enjoyed it.
At the Polynesian Cultural Center in the second half, I was impressed by the sincere attitude of the student guides. The newlyweds who accompanied us were brought up on stage, and we enjoyed a fantastic performance that brought tears to our eyes.
Thank you very much.
オアフ島案内のケリナさん。素晴らしかったです。次回もぜひお会いしたいです。
面白いトークの中に豊富な知識が詰まっていて、本当に楽しかったです。
後半のポリネシア文化センターでは、案内の学生さんたちの誠実な態度に感心しました。
同行した新婚さんが舞台に引き出され、とってもいいパフォーマンスに涙しながら楽しみました。
ありがとうございました。
I wanted to see the evening show, so at first, I thought about joining a tour that only included the night show. However, when I searched on Veltra, I found a plan that also included island sightseeing, so I chose that one!
We were able to do sightseeing in the morning, and after arriving at the cultural center, we had a lunch buffet. After that, a Japanese student guide showed us around the center, and we got to ride canoes and have a mini experience of the show and hula dancing… and before we knew it, it was time for dinner and the night show.
It was great to enjoy a full day without wasting any time from morning to night! The night show was good, but the guide during the island sightseeing was truly wonderful, so choosing this plan was definitely the right decision!
Since the island sightseeing was in the morning, the places we visited were limited, but I was very satisfied with the breathtaking views of Hanauma Bay, the "What Tree is That?" tree, Dole's ice cream, and Matsumoto's Shave Ice in Haleiwa! We also enjoyed beautiful scenery from the car windows at various points! I recommend this island sightseeing for first-time visitors to Hawaii and for those who want to make effective use of their time!
夜のショーが見てみたくて、最初は夜のショーだけのツアーに参加しようと思いベルトラさんで探したら、島内観光も付いたプランがあり、そちらにしました!
午前中に観光出来て、文化センターに到着後にランチビュッフェ、その後日本の学生ガイドさんがセンター内を案内してくれてカヌーに乗ったり、ショーやフラダンスプチ体験したり…そしてあっという間に夕食&夜のショーでした。
朝から夜まで、丸一日無駄なく楽しめてとても良かったです!
夜のショーも良かったけど、島内観光の時のガイドさんがとても素晴らしい方だったので、このプランにして大正解でした!
島内観光は、午前中なので立ち寄る場所は、限られますがハナウマ湾の絶景、この木なんの木、ドールのアイス、ハレイワの松本シェイブアイスが堪能出来たので大満足!ポイント、ポイントで車窓から美しい景色も堪能出来ました!
島内観光は初ハワイの方、時間を有効に使いたい方におすすめです!
The half-day tour of Oahu felt a bit too packed. The break in Haleiwa was particularly too long. It might have been better to stop at the North Shore beach for a photo opportunity instead. The guide's explanations were smooth and not boring, but I felt a sense of discomfort as the content focused too much on selling products. The Polynesian Cultural Center was excellent. The experiences were satisfying, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
オアフ島の半日観光は詰め込み過ぎのきらいあり。
特にハレイワでの休憩は長過ぎる。ノースショアの浜で、降車し撮影タイムを取った方が良かったのではないか?
ガイドの説明は、淀みなく、退屈でなかった、話の内容が商品の売り込みに終始していたので嫌悪感を覚えた。
ポリネシアン文化センターは秀逸。体験も満足でき、十二分に楽しめた。
I was charged such a high tour price, and some participants were forced to buy overpriced items at souvenir shops, which was quite exhausting. It felt like a budget Japanese group tour, despite the high cost. However, once we arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center, the student guides were doing their best, and it was theme park-like, so the children were enjoying themselves.
こんなに高いツアー金額を取られ、おみやげ屋さんでぼったくりの商品を買わされている参加者もいて、なんだか疲れました。
格安日本人団体ツアーのような内容です。高いのに。
ポリネシアセンターについてからは、学生ガイドさんたちが頑張っていたし、テーマパークらしく、子供たちも楽しんでいましたが。
Wonderful trip around the island and informative and enjoyable day / night at the Polynesian centre and luau
Originally, I hoped to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center from the afternoon to the evening, but it was fully booked. I ended up joining the morning tour, and I was very satisfied!
The bus guide's stories about Hawaii were enjoyable, and when it was time to say goodbye, I genuinely felt that I wanted to come back.
In the afternoon at the Polynesian Cultural Center, I had lunch and explored each village. On the flight there, I watched "Moana" and realized that they really lived a similar lifestyle, which made me feel the resilience of humanity.
The show of climbing the palm trees was breathtaking! I was amazed by the incredible speed and height!
This is a recommended spot to visit when you come to Hawaii!
元々ポリネシアカルチャーセンター着からの
昼から夜希望でしたが、予約でいっぱい。
朝一からのツアーになりましたが大満足でした!
バスガイドさんのハワイ話は楽しく
別れの時にはまた来たいと素直に感じました。
昼からポリネシアカルチャーセンターで
昼食から各村を見学。
行きの飛行機でモアナと伝説の海を見ましたが
本当に同じような生活をしていたのだと実感し
人間の逞しさを感じました。
ヤシの木を登るショーは圧巻!
尋常じゃないスピードと高さに度肝抜かれました!
ハワイにきたら行ったほうがいいオススメスポットです!
Learnt so much about the Polynesian way, such an insight. Would definitely come back! The tour guide we had was soooo funny and so informative!
Our tour guide Jason was great. Just wished the seats was more comfortable for the long journey. We were able to feel every bump and crack on the road going to PCC, that part i didn't enjoy, even heading back to Waikiki was miserable and rough.
The half-day tour of Oahu felt really like an add-on. It was disappointing that we spent quite a bit of time stopping at a jewelry store that wasn't mentioned in the itinerary. I thought the students at the Polynesian Cultural Center were truly dedicated and wonderful. The show was also impressive.
オアフ島半日観光は、本当におまけ的な感じでした。途中記載になかった宝石屋さんに寄って、結構時間を割いていたのは残念です。ポリネシア文化センターは学生さんが本当に皆、一生懸命で素晴らしいと思いました。ショーも圧巻でした。
another must thing to do with a local guide and guided tour inside cultural center is recommended who knows where to go and not miss any of the activities in each village. Best Luau ever !!!
The morning was really great. We were able to visit places that are only accessible by car. Above all, the guide was entertaining.
I think it wasn't necessary to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center in the afternoon. I especially think it's better not to take the shuttle bus that departs from the cultural center. Until then, it was fun. I couldn't enjoy the evening show because of that shuttle bus. I think the show itself was good.
午前中は本当に良かった。車じゃないと行けないところを回れた。何より、ガイドさんが面白かった。
午後のポルネシアン文化センターは行かなくても良かったと思う。特に文化センターから出ているシャトルバスに乗らない方がいいと思う。それまでは、楽しかった。夜のショーの間もそのシャトルバスのせいで楽しめなかった。ショー自体はいいと思う。
The tour of the island was very good. we had a driver/ tour guide who shows us all the finer points of the island and explained everything. It was a real pleasure. We give out tour guide a
100% rating
Thanks again for a enjoyable day.
This is my fourth time.
Every time it gets better, and I've been able to create wonderful memories!
However, the photos are way too expensive!!! I want them for the memories... but they're so high-priced!! Why???
If it weren't for that, it would be a perfect score.
今回で4回目です。
毎回グレードアップしていて、大変楽しい思い出を作ることができました!
ただ写真が高すぎるわ!!!思い出で欲しいのですが。。。。。髙い!!なんで???
それがなければ満点です。
I'm glad we were able to visit all the main sightseeing spots on the all-day tour. The atmosphere at the Polynesian Cultural Center was enjoyable, with the students providing explanations.
一日中のツアーで一通りの観光スポットを回れてよかったです。
ポリネシア文化センターでは学生さんたちが説明してくれて楽しい雰囲気でした。
We had a wonderful time at the excursion and our driver, Mr. Henry was as wonderful guide and he had so much knowledge of the Hawaiian Islands and Hawaiian culture.
Great trip, lots of beautiful places, Polynesia C.C. is something you must see
I loved it very very much it was a wonderful tour. Thanks you for putting on such wonderful performances. Hope to see you again
Our guide was a funny and informative guide. Henry made our morning and drive back in the evening enjoyable!!!
Thanks Jason for making our day a memorable one. The places we visited, the spots we stopped at and the information imparted by you was great.
The Polynesian Cultural Centre was worth this visit and more as we couldn't fit everything into 1/2 day. The students from the university were very grateful to their visitors but we were grateful to them for sharing their various cultures with us.
Dinner was great and the Breath of life show was superb.
We visited on our honeymoon.
In the morning, we toured selected spots on the island with a fun guide, allowing us to see various aspects of Oahu.
At a shopping center along the way, we were able to see many beautiful Hawaiian jewelry pieces, which made my wife very happy.
The Polynesian Cultural Center offered various shows and experiences, and we enjoyed learning about the culture.
The evening show was spectacular.
This is definitely a place we want to visit again when we come back to Hawaii.
ハネムーンで訪れました。
午前中の島内観光は厳選したスポットを楽しいガイドさんと一緒にまわり、オアフ島のいろいろな顔を見る事が出来ました。
途中のショッピングセンターでは素敵なハワイジュエリーなどもたくさん見る事が出来、嫁が喜んでいました。
ポリネシアンカルチャーセンターは様々なショーや体験あり、楽しく文化を学ぶ事が出来ました。
夜のショーは圧巻です。
またハワイに来る際には是非もう一度行きたい場所です。
Covered a lot of ground in one day. Too bad we didn't get more time at the cultural center. We didn't get there until 1:30.
The tour was awesome. Our guide was fantastic. The luau was wonderful. We got to participate as part of celebrating our 34th anniversary. The Breath of life show was awesome.
Henry was an awesome tour guide. The circle island tour was fantastic. All the activities at the Polynesian Cultural Cdnter were fantastic including the luau and night show.
I had a very enjoyable day. The bus guide, who claimed to be from Yoshimoto, kept the atmosphere lively with laughter throughout the ride. The guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center was also a very cheerful and kind young man. He efficiently guided us to the showtimes, allowing us to explore the vast grounds with satisfaction. For dinner, we enjoyed a Hawaiian show while wearing beautiful flower leis.
The highlight was definitely the evening show. We had front-row seats! The two main performers were stunningly attractive. You could feel the intensity of the actors' sweat and breathing, making it very powerful. The fire show was particularly impressive; it felt like they were putting their lives on the line.
After the performance, the actors came over to shake hands, which was truly moving. After that, we returned to the bus with plenty of time to spare before departure. However, it seemed like the return bus was going quite fast, as I don't think anyone was sleeping.
とても楽しい1日でした。
バスのガイドさんは、自称吉本の⚪️⚪️さんというだけあって笑いの絶えない車内でした。
ボリネシア文化センターのガイドの方もとても明るく親切な青年でした。的確にショーの時間に案内してくれて効率よく広大な園内を回れて満足しました。ディナーは、生花の素敵なレイをかけていただきハワイアンショーを見ながら楽しめました。
特に圧巻は、夜のショー。なんと席は最前列。主役の2人は、美男美女。役者さんの汗や息づかいまで感じられて迫力満点。特に火のショーは、もうそこまでしなくてもと思うほど命張ってました。
そして、なんと終演後役者さんの方から握手してきてくれて感動物でした。それからバスに戻っても時間的には余裕で出発でした。しかし、帰りのバスは、かなりスピードが出てるようで眠ってる人は、いなかったように思いました。
Waikiki Beach, hotel pickup departure, next stop Hanauma Bay "The view of the bay from above is amazing!" Then to Moanalua Gardens "It was a breathtaking experience in nature, famous for the tree from the song 'What Tree is This?'" We visited Waimanalo Shopping Center and Dole Plantation "The pineapple soft serve was delicious." We went in the order of Haleiwa and arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center around 1 PM "It was a fantastic bus drive around half of Oahu Island, enjoying the stunning views for about three hours, the best way to learn about Oahu!"
After arriving, we had lunch, and there were various cultural experiences available in the park, all fresh and enjoyable. Canoe show "We watched many Hawaiian dances." Dinner "Steak, fruits, and dessert were delicious." The night show, “‘Ha’ Breath of Life,” which boasts the largest scale in Hawaii, featured over 100 staff performing passionately for nearly two hours. It showcased the growth of a life born on the island into a fine young man who would govern the island and protect its people, presented through songs and dances! The fire dance show in the second half was a powerful light show that you absolutely cannot see anywhere else. It was the best!
Spending time in the park until 9:30 PM, I felt like I truly experienced Hawaii and became one with the locals! It was a fulfilling tour. Thank you to all the cast members; I was moved to tears and deeply grateful.
Since I had already heard the story in Japanese from our guide during the bus drive, even though I didn't understand the language, I was able to enjoy the show smoothly and with even more intensity. Thank you to our wonderful guide; I will come back again!
ワイキキビ-チ、ホテルお迎え出発、次がハナウマ湾「上空から見る湾の景色最高!」、モアナルアガ-デン「この木なんの木♪でおなじみの大自然を満喫圧巻でした」ワイマナロショッピングセンター、ド-ルプランテ-ション「パイナップルソフトが美味しかったです」ハレイワの順番で回って、午後1時頃にポリネシアカルチャーセンターに到着「約3時間からの絶景を見ながらのオハフ島約半周,ワイキキの反対側までバスドライブでしたオアフ島を知るには最高です!」
到着後は、ランチ、園内では様々な民族の体験ができどれもが新鮮で楽しむことができました。カヌーショー「沢山のハワイの踊りを観覧」 デイナー「ステーキ,果物,デザート,美味しかったです」ハワイ最大規模を誇る“‘ハァ’ブレス・オブ・ライフ”ナイトショー「100人以上のスタッフが2時間近くに渡り熱演、島で生れた一つの命が格闘の渦中立派な青年へと成長、軈て島を治め島民を守って行く姿を舞台で、歌や踊りで披露!特に後半のファイヤーダンスショーは他では絶対に見られない迫力のライトショー」最高でした!。
夜9時半まで園内で過ごした自分は、これこそ誇れるハワイなり!と島民に成りきった思いでの大満喫出来たツアーでした♡キャストの皆さん有難う、涙と感激有難う御座いました♡。
夜のショーは、あらかじめガイドさんから日本語でバスドライブ中ストーリーを一通り聞いていた為、言語はわからずともスムーズに一層迫力を受け楽しむことができました。素敵なガイドさん有難う、又お邪魔しまーす♡。
Thank you, goodbye!
Mahalo, Aloha oe!
We participated as a couple in our 60s, and I thought we would be stuck in a can from morning till night?! But time flew by, and I'm really glad we joined (*^^*) We were able to do some sightseeing and shopping too ★ I highly recommend this tour.
60代夫婦で参加しましたが、朝から晩まで缶詰状態⁈と思ってたが、時間もあっと言う間に過ぎて本当に参加してよかった(*^^*)観光も出来買い物も★このツアーはおすすめです。
Thank you, goodbye!
Mahalo, Aloha oe!
Loved the cultural center and all its history. I felt like we could have gotten there earlier if our tk guide didn't share so many personal stories. We had many beautiful stops but he'd wait till we sat back in our seats to stand and share stories. I'd prefer to get on the road and spend more time at stop points or cultural center
The show was really great. I've never seen this show before, I would suggest everyone see it at least once.
Mahalo Steve, Aloha oe!
