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.

I enjoy learning about WW2, so this was a nice tour for me. Seeing movie sites was super cool too. Our tour guide was great and very informative - but I'm sure this will be the luck of the draw for which guide you get.

We chose this luau because of the beautiful setting in the Waimea Valley. Would recommend getting to the North Shore early in the day, spend some time at Waimea Bay then tour the Park and Falls before the luau. Much better to experience this cultural experience in such a stunning, natural setting.We had our teenage son and daugher with us and our mother and everyone had a great time. The family and staff work hard, wearing a variety of hats throughout the evening-serving dinner, running the lawn activities, and of course performing a large variety of authentic dances and music. The host is genuine and the food was very good. Everything tastes authentic and high quality. The whole operation was enjoyable, I even enjoyed the lawn activities more than I expected. We reviewed many luaus on Oahu and are very glad we chose this one.

Website easy to use.
Driver on time, and very helpful with local area.
Told him what we wanted to see and do, and he accommodated with ease.
Got stuck in traffic driving up the North shore, so he stayed a little longer for us.

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

Our family -seniors and adult children-were delighted with the sunset sail. It was the best thing I did in Oahu. We learned about Hawaiian values, the significance of the leis, danced some hula steps, and the men pounded taro. It was fun, staff was excellent, and we ended with a chant to the sunset. Everyone was so glad we did this. Highly recommended.

We had the best time. Loved everything about it. Our tour guy Jonah was amazing and very knowledgeable. Took our time since we were a smaller group. The diamond head hike was a bit harder than we thought with the baby but we took our time and made it up there. What a beautiful view!! It was worth it!!! Do not regret anything about this tour! It was amazing!!! The dole whip ice cream was amazing. The Lenard’s malasada was amazing too. Saw a few turtles and the food trucks was so delicious. We really enjoyed our time on this tour and we totally recommend to do this tour if you’re ever in Oahu Hawaii!!!

This tour was TOP NOTCH. The van was clean and comfortable and all of the places stopped along the tour were awesome. It was a fun filled day! We loved that this tour was a small group on an uncrowded, cool, comfortable van. Our tour guide, Alan, was super informative, easy going and hilarious. His approach, information and personality put this tour over the top for us. The cost for this tour was higher than the bus tour we booked with a different company but it was 100% worth it!
Hello Jordy,
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are glad you had a good time with Alan. He knows a lot about island especially about fishing. We are a little different from the bus tour in which we are little more personal. But we are glad you enjoyed our tour and thank you again for your review.

We absolutely loved our stargazing adventure with Yoshi! He thought of everything, including taking us to a private spot, blankets, hot beverages, chairs, as well as a wealth of knowledge and some incredible telescopes and binoculars. We were fortunate enough to have a tour with just the four of us on the day of our trip and we enjoyed every minute of it. Not only was Yoshi, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable but he also drove incredibly safely and stopped plenty of times for bathrooms and was just an all-around pleasure. We would certainly recommend Yoshi to anyone looking to have an excellent stargazing experience on Maui.

The Bishop Museum was at the top of our list when it came to museums to visit. With an expansive exhibit in the Hawaiian Hall main building, they have everything from artifacts from the Hawaiian Royal Family to traditional medicine and religion. Do not miss this part of the museum - it's too important to miss!
There was also a kid-friendly Backyard Adventures Exhibit in the Castle Memorial Building, which my young son absolutely enjoyed. Each part of this exhibit is interactive and teaches kids about the seasons and bugs too!
The Richard T. Mamiya Science Adventure Center is an amazing exhibit which houses their volcano exhibit and native flora and fauna. There is an amazing walk through of a dark maze backlit with colorful birds and plants. Don't miss this one either!
The Bishop Museum is a wonderful resource and cultural center for both locals and visitors. I highly recommend it and consider it to be among the most comprehensive publically available experiences on Hawaiian & Pacific culture. Don't miss the chance to visit!
Thank you very much for visiting our museum! I'm glad that you enjoyed the exhibits! Please come again! Thank you!

We cannot speak glowingly enough about the stargazing tour experience with Yoshi. He was such a knowledgeable and considerate guide.

We headed over to Ko Olina and drove to the main entrance of the Four Seasons Resort. Parking was valet so be sure to bring extra cash, which was $20 plus tip. The stargazing is located on the top floor of the spa building at the tennis courts.
Our guide Greg was very knowledgable and gave interesting tidbits about how the Hawaiians used the stars both in their folklore and in their navigation. The stars are quite beautiful in Hawaii so we were glad to have been able to do stargazing here.
Some of the most unique stargazing can only be done in the islands, so this was well worth doing for us!
Mahalo! Keep reaching for the stars !

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!
