I loved this event. Finding the pick up point was a little difficult for someone who doesn’t know the area.
Every one so so kind and friendly making it a awesome festive event.

実は2回目のマカプウ。とはいえだいぶ前なので久しぶりに挑戦しました。お天気良くてとても気持ちよかったです。風が強い日でしたので髪の毛がメデューサみたいになりました!

It was a great experience for the family and the buffet was amazing. We have been to Hawaii, New Zealand, and Fiji, and the shows were great. didn't expect
that much audience participation, but it made it enjoyable. Would love to go back if we weren't leaving.

On 11/09/2023 I went on this Pearl Harbor tour, and had a full day of education. This was my first time at Pearl Harbor, and I'm so glad I went with Polynesian Adventure Tours. They were on time for pick up, the bus was so comfortable, and the guide clearly enjoyed his job with how much information he shared on Hawaii.
When we arrived to Pearl Harbor we were given a map, that was so helpful! Each section of PH on the map was numbered, that kept me on track of the schedule of the day. Without this map I would have been so lost!
Each museum we were given plenty of time to read all the information, if you are a quick reader you may feel like it's too much time, but I felt like it was the perfect amount of time. My favorite was the submarine!!
Lunch was so yummy, and was a very generous proportion. Was served in the middle of tour which was perfect for giving me energy I needed for the rest of the day. Highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, because there is a lot of walking throughout the day.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a guided tour, and who isn't renting a car while on island.

One of the best adventures we did while in Hawaii. The staff was great, the history of the ranch was so exciting to learn about. It’s a must do while in Hawaii.We are still talking about our great times on vacation.
Thank you for all you all for an amazing day!!!

Hike was nice and short/easy enough for many levels, but tour is basically a shuttle service to/from trailhead. No guide (and a guide is not necessary). You could probably just Uber to/from trailhead.
Also, some good tennis shoes or hiking shoes are recommended as much of the path is rock and was a little muddy. For comfort and safety, make sure you have shoes with thick sole and traction.

初めてこのツアーに参加しました。
円安だったので、送迎もお願いして費用は1人3万円弱かかってしまったのですが、家族3人で参加しました。
ガイドさんは全て英語だったので、何をお話されているのかはわからなかったですが、とてと良い時間を過ごす事ができました。
映画のロケ地で写真を撮る事ができたり、日本では見ることができないカカオを見れたりマカダミアナッツを自分で割って食べる事ができたりと楽しい体験もできました。何より景色が素晴らしい!!お天気にも恵まれた事もあり山も海も凄くキレイで最高でした。日頃、仕事に疲れている夫と私には癒しの時間になりました。
またハワイに行く事ができたら、バギーに乗るツアーに参加してみたいと思います。

This was a last min decision. I am so so glad we took this tour. Had an amazing time. Our guide was Sam and he knew the place inside out. He was truly amazing and had so much knowledge.
There is a 15 min hike too in this Jungle expedition tour and the view from the mountains is spectacular ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Having experienced many shows across Hawaii, I must say the Magical Mystery Show in Waikiki stands out as one of the absolute best. Accompanied by my 10-year-old niece, we were both completely mesmerized by the sheer brilliance of this performance.
The ambiance and decor of the venue transported us back to the enchanting Victorian era, and it was a delightful immersion into a world of wonder and magic. Not to mention convenience of its location made it very accessible for a non-driver like me :)
However, the true highlight was the exceptional magician whose performance was nothing short of spectacular. Their mastery and skill were evident in every act, and they had the audience's attention captivated throughout the show. My niece, in particular, was enthralled and thoroughly enjoyed every moment, and was so excited when she was called up to assist!
All in all, the Magical Mystery Show in Waikiki is an absolute gem, and definitely a must-see for anyone looking to have an evening filled with enchantment and awe~
Thank you for your kind words, Yamanaka-san. Creating an experience that fulfills the happiness of all ages is challenging and we are thrilled you enjoyed The Magical Mystery Show! Leaving this comment and your 5-star review helps others decide if this is right for them. We are so grateful you chose to share your experience and wish you all the best!!!

It was so much fun. Love the convenience of being picked up near eateries so we had dinner earlier - our trolley was at 8pm- exploded the Christmas tent with pictures with Santa & the Grinch got some hot chocolate with all the works(whip cream, marshmallows and peppermint) brought some souvenirs and boarded the trolley. Beautiful night with thank goodness no rainthe driver took us around city hall twice before dropping us off to go and explore the Christmas trees inside Honolulu Hale. So festive people even brought their “furry friends “ I didn’t know it was Pet Friendly An hour later it was time to go back to drop off point. With Christmas music playing on the trolley and people dining along the night came to an end. This will be my husband & my last Christmas here-moving to mainland but so blessed to have done this

I recently attended the Mauka Warriors Luau in Oahu and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the entertainment. Having been to many luaus throughout Hawaii, I can say that Mauka Luau stands out with its unique and special show. The Thrilling Fire Knife Dancing was the best and most impressive on the entire island!
In my opinion, what makes Mauka Luau truly distinctive is its interactive experience and engaging storytelling, The mesmerizing hula and fire performances narrate fascinating stories of the islands' history
Before the dinner and luau show, there is a great variety of different hands-on Polynesian activities to enjoy.
While the buffet might not have the widest variety compared to other luaus, the food at Mauka Luau is incredibly tasty and presented beautifully.
The venue itself offers stunning mountain and ocean views of Waikiki and Honolulu, and if you look carefully, you can even catch a glimpse of Diamond Head in the distance. They strive to offer a more intimate setting and there is plenty of space in between the tables, so you don't feel crowded.
Transportation from Waikiki is available, making it convenient for guests, and the prices are affordable, offering excellent value for the experience you receive at the Luau. Plus, all guests receive complimentary professional photos sent directly to their phones, which is a nice touch.
I highly recommend checking it out!

これまでハワイに来た時に(30年前、10年前)観たマジックショーがあまりにもすばらしかったので、探して申込もうとしましたが、当時のマジシャンは引退されたようでした。今回初めて異なる日本人マジシャンを観ましたが、まさるとも劣らぬ素晴らしいマジシャンで、とても充実した時間を過ごせました。至近距離で観させて頂いた事、トークが面白く幻想的な雰囲気である事が良かったです。トイレに行きたい時や飲み物の追加注文等の可否のタイミングが良く分からなかったのは残念でした。又、本番が始まるまでの導入部と集合時間以降の待ち時間が長い。又立って並んで待っている時に飲み物のカクテルを飲ませるのは頂けない、寧ろ失礼かと思います。どうせなら飲み物は会場で。
Thank you for your comment about our magic being "as good as any show you have ever seen" and that you had a "fulfilling time"! You gave us 3 out of 5 stars and it appears you have deducted stars because we provided a free cocktail! And that you "were not sure when to go to the bathroom." We provided keys and explained that the bathroom, if needed, is always open and you can go any time you want. We are sad you didn't rate the show experience as a 5-star event because of a free drink or bathroom issue. It tells people the experience is bad when in fact - you seem to have loved the show! Thank you for commenting and if you choose to increase your star rating it sure will help others know that this indeed is a superior value and a great experience. Consider updating your review to 5 stars? Thank you!

初めてのハワイ。自転車やバスで行き辛い観光地を効率よく回れて、充実した1日になりました♪
移動中のスタッフのお話も、ハワイの裏話が聞けてとっても興味深かったです!
お昼のガーリックシュリンプは、滞在中に食べた物の中で1番美味しかったです。

2度目のハワイ。
ホノルル到着した日から雨続きで、
予約していたこの日も雨(涙)。
雨季は雨季でもこんなに降るか!っていうくらいのタイミング。
雨用に撥水加工のウインドブレーカーを着て行ったのですが、特に寒がりの私なので中にフリース着たいくらいでした。
雨の日に参加する方には、地面がぬかるんでいて滑りやすいので
荷物は増えますが
汚れた時用の着替えとか
とにかく体を冷やさないように
暖かく過ごせる工夫をされるといいと思います。
各アクティビティはお天気が悪くても十分楽しめました。
植物が大好きなので
見たこともない植物が雨に濡れて鮮やかでワクワクしました。
晴れていたら遠くの海まで見渡せるので
また機会があったらリベンジしたいです。
ありがとうございました。

We loved this tour! We saw SO MUCH all in one day! The morning view at the Blowhole is worth getting up early! We were treated to an extra exciting Honu (turtle) sighting! The North Shore area is still a beautiful gem on the island, quintessential Hawaii. The Temple and Waimea Falls were welcome peaceful hideaways, away from the Honolulu city vibe. The surrounding mountains are majestic! We learned quite a lot about Hawaiian history and culture. We tasted SO MANY Hawaiian delicious delights- Leonard’s masadas, North Shore shrimp, macadamia nuts, fresh farm fruits, Matsuto’s shave ice, Dole Whip! My mouth is watering,
Hawaii weather is perfect! Sure there is a little rain, but the rainbows afterwards are so beautiful!
The bus is comfortable. We didn’t have to deal with driving or finding parking. Our tour guide was an excellent driver!
Our tour guide also shared some beautiful personal stories of his life and family in Hawaii. My girls were especially touched by his pineapple farming memories.

Very early pick up but tour was well organised. Only concern was having lunch at about 11.15am in aviation museum - a bit too early. Not sure the 10 minute quick stop on the way back into Honolulu counted as a city tour. Otherwise a good tour highly recommended for a full day.
