Once again Absolutely enjoyed all the entertainment and the meal the shredded pork melted in my mouth. I was there in 2018 and to far back to see the fish netting. Really looking forward to seeing the display this time but disappointed to hear the event has been discontinued. Overall great performance. The dancing to celebrate the lifting of the pig out of the pit was also excellent.

Booked whilst in Australia, on the night it was easy to locate, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The food and drink were plentiful and more than expected. The entertainment was very good and as whole the night was a fantastic event. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good meal and a show.

This Luau is the best in the islands. They only offer this Luau on Kauai, however after attending many of the Luau's on the islands, this is our favorite. The price is totally fair. The pre show, the reception at the entrance, the food and the after show are outstanding. We look forward to coming to this event every time we visit Kauai. This is a 10!!!

Our group thoroughly enjoyed the luau. The whole production was amazing. The musicians and dancers were incredibly talented. The host of the show, Hoku was a wonderful personality. The food of the buffet was delicious. There was so much to try featuring different cuisines. All around, we are happy to have chosen this luau. The only thing that would make it better, would be an ocean view.

I had a spectacular experience at the Na Lei Aloha Show! The location is within walking distance from most hotels in Waikiki. The food was the best I've ever had at a luau. The all-you-can-eat buffet at Hyatt Hotel features perfectly cooked prime ribs, short ribs, and pork ribs. It's a seafood lover's paradise! They have high quality snow crab legs, made-to-order sushi, poke station, an incredible variety of salads, hot dishes, and an impressive selection of desserts. It’s hard to pick favorites because every dish was outstanding, I can't wait to go back.
The setting had a lovely intimate atmosphere, and the servers were attentive to every detail. The show was absolutely delightful, highlighting Hawaiian culture and the significance of the Lei, showcasing a wide array of flowers used to create these meaningful flower necklaces. The dancers were incredibly talented, and the storytelling was captivating—I couldn't stop smiling!

It was too long of a day! Our bus left PCC after 9:20pm which meant we got back to Waikīkī almost 11pm. The day was great but the ending with the timing of the bus was a sour note.

As we walked in we were greeted with a beautiful cold lei that made us feel welcomed. The location was perfect for Waikiki away from the crowds with stunning views of the ocean/sunset. The food was truly out of this world from just about every thing you could possibly think of. Sushi, meats, a quality salad bar, Korean BBQ, and not to mention the yummy dessert bar. Food for every pallet in the family.
The show was truly engaging, sweet, and wholesome. Based on the history of Waikiki and the importance of flowers being made into leis. Not like any other show i've seen on island. The duration of the activity was perfect, not too long not too short didn't feel rushed to eat or didn't feel like the show was dragging on. Would definitely recommend this for couples and friends looking to celebrate in a unique way.

The Hula Garden at Kahalu'u Pond was truly magical! I've attended many Polynesian shows and luaus in Hawaii over the past 10 years, but this one stands out as the most stunning location. It's not your typical luau. It offers a sophisticated dining experience with breathtaking views of Kaneohe Bay and the Kualua Ranch mountain range. The intimate setting sets the stage for an elevated experience: fine dining amidst lush greenery and an ancient fishpond. I'd say it's one of Oahu's best-kept secrets, a hidden gem that only a few people know about.
The food was exceptional, featuring a 4-course dinner freshly prepared by the renowned Michel's Restaurant. Starting with the chilled roasted tomato bisque, tofu poke, and salad was a treat! The main course of steak, abalone & garlic shrimp was absolutely delicious. The mango mousse cake for dessert was light and refreshing. What I loved most about this evening was the lack of a crowded, touristy luau feel. The entertainment was delightful, featuring a lively band, singer, and dancers performing at various spots throughout the venue. The grand finale featuring a skilled fire knife dancer was truly impressive.
Tips:
- I suggest booking with transportation; it's complimentary. Parking is limited and comes at an additional cost.
- If you're seeking a big luau production, this may not be the one for you. But if you want a distinctive, less crowded, out-of-the-ordinary experience, this is the perfect fit.
- If food quality is important to you, then this dinner show is what you're looking for! The food quality exceeded my expectations, it's restaurant quality! And the menu offers completely different options compared to traditional luau buffets.
- I think this dining show is recommended for all types of travelers and local residents alike, even if you've been to a luau previously.
- This is a fantastic choice for marking a special occasion and a truly romantic experience.
Aloha,
Thank you for expressing our charm so accurately.
It's rare to find a small venue where you can enjoy the scenery, a 4 course meal, and a show.
Mahalo,

初めてのパラセーリングでした!
場所はGoogleマップの時はこれで入力してね。と丁寧に記載があったので迷わず行けました!
出発してすぐに、写真撮る?と声を掛けて頂き写真を撮って頂きましたが事前の説明で写真の購入にいくらかかるのか?がなかったため少しドキドキしていましたw(40ドルでスマホへの共有とSDカードを頂きました)
この辺の説明も事前に知らせて頂けたらなと思いました。
とはいえ体験自体は最高でした!
私が参加した時は4組(合計8名)で一組の飛行時間は5分程でしたが大満足でした!
他の参加者の方とも戻ってきたらハイタッチしたりお互いに写真を撮りあって終わったあとにAirDropで送りあったり、その日の夜にたまたま飲食店で再会し少しお話できたり素敵な出会にもなりました!
酔い止めは必須です!
他3組が飛んでいる間は船で待機なのですが結構揺れるので酔います…
酔い止めを飲んで行ったのですが、それでも気持ち悪くなりました…

The Polynesian Cultural Center is a “must have adventure” that we would highly recommend from couples to families. We spent a day and enjoyed every second of it. We celebrated our wedding anniversary and kept it quiet but loved the experience of the Tahitian wedding ceremony where we renewed our promise. The food experience was outstanding, we tried a lot of food that we never tried before. The raw tuna was our favourite. 1 day was not enough to have the time to have some art workshop to do and sadly we couldn’t go back to have an Okulele session.
Thank you for the experience of our lifetime. Tia and Zoltan from Ireland

車で行く場合はパラセーリングといったスポット(港)が数箇所あるのと、朝は渋滞で倍以上時間がかかるので注意が必要です。

新婚旅行で利用しました。
初めてのハワイということもあり、事前に予約ができるこちらを予約しました。
周りは外国人の方が多く、もともと英語に不安がありましたが話せなくてもなんとかなります。
ビュッフェのあとには、フラダンスのレッスンがあり希望者は参加ができます。
ショーはとても楽しめましたが、英語が理解できたらより楽しめたのかなぁと思いました。
平日だったからなのか、空席が結構ありましたが、このお値段でビュッフェ、ショーが観れるのはお得だと思います!

事前に現地稼働可能な3日うち現地到着初日13:30で2名予約&決済。
現地着後にパラセイリング参加のため水着への着替えと最低限荷物保持しスーツケース発送完了し空港連絡バス発車10分前の11:20に強風で同日全てキャンセルのSMSを受信。
その後は再予約をするかキャンセル返金するかを選べる状況になり再予約を実施。2日目は選べず3日目9:30で再予約実施。自己都合では無いので変更手数料は0円でした。
当日は本来なら30分前9:00集合でしたが、予定を組み直した結果レンタカーで現地に行く事になり予定より1時間早い8:00に到着し付近の無料駐車場にて着替えなど準備実施。集合より早いが相談してチェックインもできました。無料駐車場の場所も念のため確認してもらい問題ない事も確認できました。
9:10再集合になり、9:20には他2組と自分達3組が搭乗して出港。荷物は足下に収納するスペースあります。
沖に出てパラセイリング開始となります。
自撮りで写真や動画も撮影可能ですが初めてだと上空で恐怖心と戦いながら防水ケースに入ったスマホを直射日光下で操作することになるので良い写真動画が撮れるかは運次第になると思います。
スタッフが船から40ドルで一眼カメラで写真撮影するサービスもあるので検討すると良いかと思います。
フライト内容はネタバレになるので書きませんが、とても楽しく良い経験になります。
チップは自分たちは2人で20ドルを帰港後に車のトランクにしまっておいた財布を取りに行ってから渡しました。他2組はチップ有無は不明でした。
結論、最高の思い出の一つになりました。一度はチャレンジしてみてはいかがでしょうか。おすすめします。

I thoroughly enjoyed a full day walking around the Polynesian Cultural Center, being introduced to the different cultures, learning history, watching free performances, and buying HI things for family back home. The buffet dinner was outstanding with excellent, friendly service from staff.
The best part was the "HA Breath of Life" show. I've seen Broadway in NY and a show in the west end of London, and this show as just as good, maybe even better as it revolves around true cultural experiences for the audience to witness. I actually got tear-upped more than once. I hope many other will get the opportunity. It was worth every penny and the late bus ride back into Honolulu.
