All Reviews for Polynesian Cultural Center, Oahu

Easy booking and easy check in. Recommand to book early guys, do not wait to purchase at the gate, will regret.

Great place for kidss
Very interactive
Had a special feel to it.
Enjoyed the knowledge I got from each pavilion

First, I was dropped off at the parking lot by the shuttle car, and for the return, I was just told to take that bus back. I had to handle the tickets for the show and meal myself. The ticket fee for the park tour ($89 per person) was not included. The women in their 60s to 80s who were with me had nothing to do and waited around the souvenir shop for about two hours, had a meal, watched the show, and then went home. (It was sad.) I don't think I'll ask for this again next time!

まず、送迎の車で駐車場で降ろされ、帰りはあのバス乗って帰れってだけで、自分でショー＆食事のチッケットを行わなければいけなかった。
パーク内見学のチッケット代(一人８９ドル)は含まれていなっかった。
同乗せれてた６０～８０代の女性達は何もすることなく土産屋付近で２時間程待って食事をし、ショーを見て帰られた。(かわいそうだった)
次回はお願いしないかな！

It was the first time taking my family to PCC and they enjoyed learning about the different islands and cultures. It was a fun and filled with hands on activities for any one of any age to participate in. The buffet had a lot of food to offer and the staff were friendly and accommodating. We were initially seated in the back but we had two members in our family with mobility issues and they promptly reseated us closer to the food. The show Ha was great. I have never seen a woman Samoan fire dancer and she was phenomenal.

In a bid to book a quickly selling show, we booked tickets online for the PCC, not realising that this booking didn't include the luau/food. I reached out to the team at Veltra both by email and phone, and was exceptionally served by your team. So very blessed by the experience at PCC and the way the Veltra team made it easy to swap our tickets! Thank you so very much Veltra!

All the tours were awesome but the Ha Breath of Life was a great way to end the day!

The villages were quite a treat! Quite personal, few crowds, and thoroughly educational & entertaining!
The buffet dinner had many choices, but we were not too happy with the quality of the main dishes; beef was of low quality, somewhat tough, & often cold by the time it got to our table; chicken was again of poor quality & soaked in unusual sauces; fish likewise. Would prefer less choices & better quality! Service was good.

This tour was truly a full day adventure! I am so happy I visited the PCC and took the time to learn more about Hawaiian culture. The family and I loved the Luau!

If I get the opportunity to come back 2,3,4 times, I’d do it. Enjoyed my time here!

I lived in Hawaii, and have been to PCC several times. I love it every time I go. Whenever I have a newcomer to Hawaii, I take them there or recommend it to them and I recommend it to you all. Also, I advise getting the Luau and show package for the whole experience.

This was my 2nd time visiting PCC, 16 years ago was my 1st visit. Nice to see Chief Kap is still there and still has many talents. A lot has changed, the Breath Of Life show was spectacular. The fire dance was amazing. The students that work there, every single one I came across were so pleasant and helpful. Everyone had a big smile and go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable. If you haven’t been to any luaus in Oahu, I’d suggest PCC. Hands down the best one on the island. Mahalo!

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

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。

We did the Admission only package, which is great for families with young kids. It rained the entire day but it was still fun and we enjoyed the experience. We were able to follow our own schedule and still head over the see the different villages even if we were not on the presentation schedule. The boat ride was a highlight for my kids and the giudes were very safety-oriented and made sure everyone was engaged in the narration.
The canoe ride ended on the other side of the park, with walkable access to the villages of Fiji, French Polynesia (Tahiti), and Hawaii. We were able to play some of the games and even check out some of the historical village buildings.
Don't forget to check out their very own large sailing canoe that was built by the staff and students who work at the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU in La'ie. Ask about its story - it's truly remarkable.
The visit to PCC was very much worth doing during our trip. I highly recommend Polynesian Cultural Center!

Perfect n awesome very nice to walk around with your family very educational and fun with all the performances also the food was delicious and with souvenirs too I also loved the buffet and the show HA': THE BREATH OF LIFE it was an awesome way to end the day

We loved this tour. We were able to do some sightseeing and enjoyed a full day at PCC. The drivers were great too, very knowledgeable.

Great place to emerge into the Polynesian cultures and learn about each island culture and language. Definitely a fun and family friendly place to be at.

This was a fantastic experience and tourist activity to do as a tourist. The food the, the show, the shops, and hospitality was fantastic. It’s a definite must do.

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。

Its a rain or shine experienced but its awesome...My 7yo son is biracial Filipino Taiwanese and cannot understand english but he clapped like an adult during the HA a breath of life show... the fire dance by the samoan made him amaze...the food at gateway was perfect...I've seen so many Filipinos in the buffet area assesting us... So many crew assesting in the tribes sometimes I felt overwhelmed yet its good...the missionaries were good too... the asked me both are approachable too...they all smile...I'm so proud that they have Filipino and other asian workers...Mabuhay
PS. I liked the bus driver Shaft so funny and informative

I enjoyed the night show from a very good seat. The dance show was on a large scale and was even more amazing than I had imagined. I'm glad I participated.

ナイトショーはとても良い席で楽しませていただきました。
ダンスショーは規模が大きくて想像しているよりも凄く、
参加してよかったです。

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。

Beautiful space, beautiful people. You can tell that those who work there love their jobs. Great experience and I would definitely go back! Great to learn about all the cultures and the luau topped off a perfect day

We learned a lot about the Polynesian culture through the activities and demonstrations. Dinner was okay. But the breath of life show after was fantastic.

Cody Park was my ASL interpreter and he really made the experience so fun!!! 4 hours went by so fast!!! Wish we had more time!!

We had an excellent driver in Cousin Elaine. Very informative and funny. The PCC is so amazing. Each island was so well done and the entertainment at each one was very different and very good. The food trucks were delicious also. We really enjoyed the tram ride over to the temple. The sister missionaries were so sweet. The PCC is a definite must see on the island. 5 stars ⭐️ for sure.

We loved the whole day. A great experience learning about all the different cultures. We loved the show at night. Very talented young people. What a great program you have for young people to go to university

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.

This was one of our best experiences on Oahu. The "islands" were informative and interesting. We had an enjoyable time. Not so crazy about Pounder's Restaurant but the evening buffet was terrific. The evening show was amazing. We would do this again.

Very interactive day! My kids loved to get to canoe to the next island, and the show was unlike any other show I have seen!
