North Shore
This time, since it was a trip with my elderly parents, we couldn't participate in intense activities, so we joined the tour with that mindset. However, the evening show was truly wonderful and definitely worth seeing! I was moved. Unlike during the day, the area becomes lively before the evening show starts, so you can enjoy it even if you arrive early.
However, since we rented a car, we opted for a local meeting plan, but the meeting location was only listed as "on-site," and I didn't have any details. I called the Japanese-speaking number mentioned in the reservation confirmation email, but perhaps it was just bad timing, as only English speakers were available, and I couldn't understand the details with my English skills. I ended up waiting at the entrance at the meeting time, but no one showed up. As time passed, I got anxious and showed my voucher at the information center, where they quickly issued the buffet and show tickets. I wish this information had been provided at the time of booking. Since you can enter the buffet earlier than the meeting time, knowing that would have allowed us to enjoy our meal and stroll around the show venue more leisurely, which was a bit disappointing.
However, the greatness of the show more than made up for these negatives, so I give it five stars.
今回は老齢の両親との旅行だったため、激しめのアクティビティには参加出来ず、それならば、ぐらいの気持ちで参加したツアーでしたが、イブニングショーは大変素晴らしく、見る価値おおいにアリでした！感動しました。昼間と違い、イブニングショーが始まる前には会場前も華やかになり、開場時間より早めに行っても楽しめます。
ただ、レンタカーだったため現地集合プランにしたのですが、集合場所が現地とのみ記載されており、詳細が分かりませんでした。予約確認メールに記載されていた日本語オッケーの番号に電話するも、その時間たまたまだったのかもしれませんが英語の方しかいらっしゃらず、私の英語力では詳細分からず。仕方なく集合時間に現地エントランスで待っていても誰も現れず、時間が過ぎて焦って何か分からないかとインフォメーションセンターにバウチャーを見せたところ、あっさりとビュッフェとショーのチケットを発券していただけたので、予約時にその旨案内しておいていただきたかったです。ビュッフェには集合時間より早い時間から入場可能なので、それを知っていれば食事もショーの会場前の散策もゆっくり出来たのに、と少し残念。
ですが、そのマイナスを補って余りあるショーの素晴らしさに星5つです。

It was a best choice to select the above ticket. My hubby was called to come to the main stage during the program. Unforgettable memories !!!
The bus on the way there was really bumpy and I felt a bit nauseous. I wanted to sleep, but even with the headrest, it felt impossible to use. I was disappointed considering the cost. If you're prone to motion sickness, it's better to have some medication on hand.
Dinner was as I imagined, somewhat disappointing. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either.
The show was very glamorous and wonderful! The muscular performers were impressive.
I regret the bus experience.
行きのバスがガタガタすごく揺れて若干酔いました。寝たかったのですが、ヘッドレストがあっても使えないような感じで無理でした。割とお金とるのにこれかと残念でした。酔いやすい方は酔い止めあったほうがいいです。
ディナーは想像通り、微妙でした。すごく美味しくないわけではないけど…といった感じ。
ショーはとても華やかで素敵でした！ムキムキの筋肉かっこよかったです。
バスが悔やまれます。

We did the Alii Luau dinner and standard show package and had such a great time! We were entertained the whole time while we ate and the food was amazing! The Ha: Breath of Life show was very well done and I loved the amount of fire dancers that they had. There are plenty of shops, places to grab food and things to see there to where you can really make a whole day out of it! It was overall a really cool experience.
We had an absolutely fantastic time. It rained the entire day and never put a damper on any of the festivities. Our luau dinner was delicious. One of the best activities we participated in on our recent vacation to Oahu. Each of the villages not only provided us with information and a look into the culture from a variety of islands but they also provided activities for us which were fun an interesting . If I ever return to Hawaii I will go to the Polynesian Cultural Center for the full day experience including the luau.
Due to my child's poor health, I called at 5 PM the day before and was able to postpone our participation by one day. Thank you for your flexible response.
The half-day tour on the day was enjoyable with a funny guide named MAKI from Ibaraki. I also appreciate the guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center for their clear explanations.
However, the reason I did not give a five-star rating is that the dinner menu was only on the table, and I didn't know how to proceed. It was a buffet style, wasn't it? The menu on the table was for the buffet. I would have appreciated a brief explanation about that.
The subsequent night show was also wonderful and enjoyable. I would like to meet MAKI again. Thank you very much.
That's all.
子供の体調が悪かったため、前日の１７時に電話し、参加を一日ずらせてもらえました。臨機応変に対応いただきありがとうございました。
当日の半日観光は、MAKIさんという茨城出身の面白いガイドさんで、楽しく回れました。
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターのガイドのお兄さんも、わかりやすく案内いただきありがとうございました。
しかし、評価が星５つではないのは、夕食が、メニューだけ机にあり、どう行動したら良いかわからなかったことです。バイキング形式だったんですね。机の上のメニューは、バイキングのメニューだったんですね。
そのような説明が一言、欲しかったです。
その後のナイトショーもすばらしく、良かったです。
また、MAKIさんに会いたいと思いました。
ありがとうございました。

We really enjoyed the day and had an excellent guide - JJ. Her beautiful smile was refreshing as was everyone's who worked there. Seemed like they all enjoy their job and are proud of the PCC.
So much education, impossible to see and grasp in one day. Beautiful scenery, wonderful entertainment. Was a little too warm, could have used a little AC here and there but no complaints!
The authentic dance show where you can learn about the history of Hawaii was wonderful. My family, especially my husband, was the most impressed since it was their first time in Hawaii.
This time we had the deluxe course, so being able to tour behind the scenes beforehand was a great preparation for enjoying the show. The cool guys who actually perform in the show were very relaxed and took photos with us, which became a great memory of our trip.
ハワイの歴史をショーで学ぶことができる本格的なダンスショーは、素晴らしかったです。ハワイが初めての家族(特に主人）が一番感動していました。
今回はデラックスコースだったので、事前に舞台裏を見学できたのも、ショーを楽しめるよい準備になったと思います。舞台裏では実際にショーに出演するかっこいいお兄さんが達がとても気楽に一緒に写真撮影をしてくれ旅の良い思い出となりました。

This was my second time participating. The bus guide was very entertaining, and I enjoyed the travel time. The show was great, and the food was excellent too!
2回目の参加でした。バスガイドさんがとてもおもしろく、移動時間も楽しく過ごせました。ショーはもちろん、食事も良くて最高でした！

The guided tour and the whole experience was very good. We have actually seen a better Luau, however, the show made up for any kind of disappointment we would ever have with the Luau. Great facility, very clean, especially the restrooms. Wonderful family experience.
I went on an afternoon tour. The bright local tour guide (an elderly woman) had an impressive rapid-fire talk on the bus ride, chatting non-stop from departure to arrival. We arrived at the destination after 5:30 PM, and after wandering around a bit, I wanted to go on a canoe river tour, but it ended at 6 PM, so I couldn't participate. I think if the afternoon tour arrived an hour earlier, we could have seen various spots. Also, the evening dance show was breathtaking, and I believe it had a grand story unfolding, but since I don't understand English, I honestly couldn't grasp the content. I thought it would be great if there were Japanese interpretation guide services available.
午後集合のツアーで行きました。
行きのバスの中では明るい現地ツアーガイド（おばあちゃん）によるマシンガントークが印象的でした。出発から到着までずっとしゃべってました。
現地到着が17：30過ぎで、少しぶらぶらして、カヌーでの川巡りを乗ろうと思いましたが、18時で終了のため乗れませんでした。午後ツアーの現地到着はもう1時間早いと色々なスポットを見れたと思います。
また、夜のダンスショーは圧巻で、壮大なストーリーが展開されていると思いますが、何分英語がわからないので、正直内容がわかりませんでした。日本語通訳ガイドサービスなどあったら良いと思いました。

This was our first time to the islands as a family and the Circle Tour and Polynesian Cultural Center was a great way to start our trip. The Polynesian Cultural Center was so cool learning about all the different Polynesian cultures and customs. We would definitely recommend this to anyone else visiting the islands. The canoe show was great!
Love the experience. Love the food. Will come back and visit again. We came with two small children’s 2 and 4. They love the show and the buffet. Love the boat ride and the theater show. Ac is very cold in the imax show. We took the boat ride and went the very back and visited all the villages back so it’s a one way trip to the buffet if the timing is right. And after the buffet we hang out by the market and listen to the live music.
Last year, I signed up early and had the best seats in the third row, but this year, I ended up with seats towards the back because I registered at the last minute. This show is amazing, so it's better to sign up early!
昨年は早目に申し込んだので前から3列目で最高だったのですが、今年はギリギリに申し込んだせいか、後ろの方の席になってしまいました。このショーは最高なので早目に申し込んだ方が良いですよ！！

What a great cultural experience. Ideal for all ages & families! A big day, but a great day learning about pacific cultures :)
The Villages were very informational, enjoyable and entertaining. Wasn't able to visit all of them so we were very lucky to see the ones we did visit. The Cook Island show was outstanding!!! OH MY, it was awesome, can't say enough for the entertainment and talent of the dancers, drummers and singers. The water parade was so beautiful and the stories were so informational. The buffet, was delicious and it had all you could ever want to eat and drink. The best was left for last and that was the show. OMG, it was a delight, amazing, educational, talent abounded, a site you couldn't believe. It was the whole package. I'm so grateful we went.
Everyone in my family really enjoyed the Polynesian culture center! The guide was amazing, Ian And everyone was so kind. They made a special effort to entertain my eight-year-old which was really nice.
The Polynesian Cultural Center was truly wonderful and moving. I've been to Hawaii several times, but this was my first visit here. I thought it was a bit expensive, but I believe it was worth even more than that. Next time, I would like to participate in a tour of just the gardens. The transportation was also efficient and comfortable.
ポリネシアカルチャーセンターは、大変すばらしく、感動しました。ハワイは何回か行っていますが、こちらは初めて行きました。少々高いかと思いましたがそれ以上の価値があると思いました。次回は園のみの観光があれば参加したいです。送迎も手際よく快適でした。

I had a very enjoyable day! The most impressive part was the guide! She was a woman with striking eye makeup and a muumuu! Throughout the bus ride, she entertained everyone with various stories about Hawaii, and at the sightseeing points, she made sure we saw everything! Every place we stopped at during the half-day tour was great. At the Polynesian Cultural Center, we had a Japanese student guide who showed us around. It was very spacious and surprising! It was a beautiful place. We also enjoyed the show! A hat is definitely a must!
とても楽しい一日でした！一番印象的だったのは、ガイドさんでした！アイメークとムームーが印象的な女性です！
バスの中ではハワイのいろんな話を、観光ポイントではしっかり見せてくれるなど、終始みんなを楽しませてくれました！
半日観光で立ち寄った場所は、どこもよかったです。
ポリネシア カルチャー センターでも学生の日本人ガイドさんがついて案内してくれました。とても広くてビックリ！！キレイなトコでした。ショーも楽しめました！
帽子が必需品ですね！

If you're looking solely for entertainment, it might feel a bit lacking. However, as a show that expresses the history of the local culture and allows you to experience the traditions of the people of Hawaii, it was a relaxed and very pleasant time.
エンターテイメント性だけを求めている人だと、少し物足りないかもしれません。
でも、ハワイの人の分化に触れる、現地の方々による歴史を表現するショーとしては、ゆったりと、とても心地よい時間でした。

The staff was very help to assist us for the program timing and activity. park was very clean. performer are very talented. buffet was delicious. we have very good time for this trip in Hawaii. Thanks
We participated as a family in the Polynesian Cultural Center for the second time. If you're visiting Hawaii, it's definitely worth going at least once. You can experience traditional Hawaiian culture, including homes and costumes, and of course, you can watch hula dancing and enjoy Polynesian cuisine. They also have performances, including a dance and fire show, which was truly enjoyable and a wonderful way to learn about the culture!
親子で参加しました
『ポリネシア カルチャーセンター』2回目
ハワイに来たのならやはり1度は行くといいですよ
ハワイの文化、住居や衣装等伝統的なハワイを感じることが出来、
フラダンスももちろん見ることが出来るだけでなくポリネシア料理も食べることが出来る場所です^^
ここでは公演も行っているダンス・ファイヤーショーですがこれが本当に見て楽しく文化も学ぶことが出来る素晴らしい公演でした！！

I would say: little exposure to the island, but if you are looking into the opportunity to experience the island while getting a real dip into cultural life of the Polynesia.
The food was delicious.
The seating was perfect.
If I had a little more time, I could have enjoyed the visit more leisurely.
食事も美味しかったです。
席もバッチリでした。
もう少し時間があればゆっくり見学できたかなぁ

Shows at each of the Polynesian cultures were scheduled to flow from one to the other. Huki: A Canoe Celebration was a beautiful gathering of the features of all cultures represented at the park. Being a small physical park area, walking between activities was not stressful and workers were happy to help if you couldn't find a show. Great value for money.
I booked and participated in six activities during this trip, but the Polynesian Cultural Center was the best! The bus guide, Maki, was really funny, and despite the long travel time, no one fell asleep. The local Japanese student guide at the Polynesian Cultural Center was very dedicated, which was great. One day wasn't enough, so I definitely want to participate again next time.
今回の旅行で６つのアクティビティを予約し参加しましたが、ポリネシアカルチャーセンターは一番良かったです！
バスのガイドさんのまきさんは凄く面白く、長い時間の移動にも関わらず、誰一人寝ていなかった。
ポリネシアも現地の日本人学生のガイドが一生懸命さが伝わり凄く良かったです。
一日の滞在では足らないくらいでしたので次回も是非参加したいと思います。

I was disappointed that I couldn't get off the bus even though I went all the way to the North Shore. It was also a letdown that both meals were at the Polynesian Cultural Center. I had intended to see the whole island, but it felt one-sided, and I felt like I missed out.
せっかくノースショアまで行ったりしているのに、バスから降りれず、残念なおもいをしました。
食事は2回ともポリネシアン文化センターだったのも残念ポイント。
島全体をみれるつもりが、偏っていて、損した気分になりました。

We purchased the Super Ambassador package and we were treated like royalty. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and respectful. Iotua was our guides name so we highly recommend him. Learning about the other islands in the pacific was fun. They told you just enough that now we would like to visit each one. The parade on water was really something you don’t want to miss. Also the Breath of Fire program was awesome!
This plan includes buffet-style meals! I didn't expect much from the food, thinking it wouldn't be that great, but surprisingly, it was quite delicious. During the show, photography is prohibited, so you can only take memories back with you, but it was a story-driven show, and I enjoyed it to some extent. The final fire dance was truly impressive!
このプランはブッフェスタイルの食事付き！
そんな、大した食事ではないかとあまり期待してませんでしたが、意外と美味しく食べれました。
ショーの最中は、写真撮影など禁止なので、記憶で持ち帰るしかないですが、ストーリー仕立てのショーで、それなりに楽しめました。
最後のファイヤーダンスがやはり圧巻でしたね！

I studied various Polynesian cultures and dances thoroughly. It's a place where you can spend the whole day experiencing it. Alcohol is not available.
充分いろいろなポリネシアの文化とダンスを勉強しました。体験もでき一日中過ごせる場所です。アルコールが飲めないです。
