Passport to Pearl Harbor Ticket - Official One-Day Admission & Self-Guided Tour

Our tour guide was amazing

Reviewed by: Mama

If it wasn’t for our tour guide, Dave, our adventure would have been very unsatisfactory. There was far far too much driving. The caves were inaccessible for most of us as the rocks were slippery. The stairs were steep, and there weren’t enough hiking sticks to go around. we stopped for quite a bit of time just to have lunch, which to me was very unnecessary. A snack would’ve sufficed. Then we drove, which seemed to be forever to go see the most recent lava flow… Which was quite interesting but somewhat repetitive. Again, if it wasn’t for our tour guide, Dave, his personality, information and enthusiasm It would’ve been a bust. Again far far far too much driving for what we actually could get out and enjoy and see.

Tips and suggestions

Less driving and more interactive stops.

Pearl Harbor Full Tour - USS Arizona, USS Missouri, Submarine & Aviation Museum

First Hawaii tour

Reviewed by: Coconut

This was our first Hawaii visit and first tour on the island. The experience of this tour was well worth it, we had a great time and were able to take plenty of pictures. The communication was very clear on where we would be picked up, the times for each stop on the tour and information on each stop. We had plenty of time at each stop. We recommend the tour and would do it again.

マジカルミステリーショー ハワイ最高峰のマジックショー!一流マジシャンの技を目の前で鑑賞! 最前列で楽しめるVIP席も<ヒルトンワイキキビーチ内>

日本人の子供には。。。

Reviewed by: elephant

マジック好きの親子(小学生、幼稚園児、父)で参加しました。
日本人と気づいて頂き、所々日本語を交えて下さり
父は楽しめましたが英語が分からない子供たちには難しかったようです。
小学生の息子はなんとなくわかった、と、幼稚園児の息子にはちんぷんかんぷん(苦笑)
かなり高価なショーですし、英語を理解できない子供には不向きでした。
お土産のマジックキットには大喜びでした。

We are sorry you had a language issue. We represent this show as a Hawaiian-based show in English. We do not represent that the show will be spoken in Japanese and it is unfair to assume it would be in Japanese when you are in America. By rating the show 2 stars you reduce our average rating that potential guests see. If we had done a bad job, we could understand. But to lower our rating because your kindergarden-aged child couldn't understand English in an English speaking country is unfair. We ask you consider rating this show 5 stars for the content as marketed and executed, and include in your review the issues you state about language. This will get your point across to other Japanese speakers without harming the show ratings. Thank you for considering revising your rating to 5 stars.

真珠湾(パールハーバー) 戦艦ミズーリ入場チケット 事前予約

日本人も行くべきスポット

Reviewed by: momo

旅の前半に行きました。戦争のことなので楽しい、というのとはまた違いますが、その場に身を置いて学び感じることの大切さを再認識しました。ハワイは楽園のような場所ですが、日本人として歴史と向き合う必要がある場所であるとも思いました。日本のガイドのアレックスさんが、色々教えてくれます。他の日本の方もいらしたので、その時によって対応してくださるのだと思います。どの方も親切に声をかけてくださいます。
現地民やアメリカ人の日本への所感やアリゾナ戦艦のことなども教えていただきました。

一番難しかったのは行き方についてだったので書いておきます。
当方は、ザバスでワイキキからパールハーバーへ行きました。一時間ちょっとかかりました。
本当は時短にはタクシーが良いのですが、これはこれで現地の雰囲気をゆっくり味わえてよかったです。
ザバスでパールハーバーについたらまっすぐ海の方へすすみます。荷物を預けたら、通してくれます。小さいポーチを持って行きましたが、ダメでした。入り口にあるお財布と比べて小さいものしか持ち込めません。
ここではお金はかかりません。
門を通過して右へ進むとシャトルバスが待機していました。
そこから10分くらい、まずミズーリ戦艦そして航空機見学できる場所に順に停まります。私たちはミズーリの方でおりました。
戦艦目指して歩きます。
下の入り口で印刷したバウチャーバーコードを提示すると入れてくれます。
戦艦のデッキに上がるとツアーガイドの希望を聞いてくれて、日本語をお願いするとアレックスさんが出てきてくれました。この時間帯は私たちいれて3組、5名が一緒でした。
しばらく説明をしてくださり、戦艦内は自分たちで見学するスタイルです。これ全部で二時間くらいはかかってしましました。
ザバスは、三ドルで行けたのも良かったですが流石に往復バスは時間が勿体無いので、かえりはウーバーで帰りました。

本当は時間をもっととりたかったのですが、閉館時間になってしまい叶わず。また次回アリゾナ記念館や航空機見学にも行きたいです。

Great luau experience

Reviewed by: Leslie G

Such a fun night. The food options were delicious. The activities and vendors were interesting and informative. The show is very entertaining and fun to watch. The host, Paul, was fantastic and he made it special for my fiancé and l as he heard we got engaged a few days prior. We got to get our own dance along those who were celebrating anniversaries. That was such a sweet surprise and totally unexpected. I highly recommend luau! The transportation was also fantastic and super easy.

Mauka Warriors Luau - Hawaii's Best Thrilling Fire Knife Dance & Polynesian Show

Experience mediocre and spoiled by Rain

Reviewed by: BCDavis

Our group was looking forward to our first luau and as we arrived at the destination it started raining. While the hosts were quick to hand out rain ponchos, the rain affected the event.

First, the hosts were rushed to get folks registered and get things moving. As a result, our group was never able to get our picture taken before the event started. Knowing this was an outdoor venue and its rainy season, I would have expected that certain things would have been under cover - like the photo area, the stage and honestly even the seating.

The food was under cover and was good. Not spectacular but good. A couple of our group had raw fish and were all sick that night so having certain foods outside for an extended period was not smart.

The performance from the warriors was good. They tried to show the different dress/dance of various polynesian groups but it would have benefited from more clarity on their differences as they all stared looking the same.

The ONE performance I was looking forward to was the fire dance. It was a disappointment. I expected all the adult performers to have choreographed a phenomenal dance of fire, complete with fire twirling, throwing etc. Instead they handed the "fire dance" off to one young boy for a solo act and two young boys to show off what they learned. YES, they were very good! but the magic of a "warrior tribe" dancing the fire dance was lost. The adults did come back for a grand finale - but it seems confusing at best.

Not what I expected.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

Perfect Dinner & Show for Family and Friends

Reviewed by: Kevin Park

Overall, excellent experience. The show was awesome showing the traditional style of dances and performances of the Hawaiian culture. The buffet itself had many selections to choose and eat. The most highlight of the show was the HA breath of life where it was the fire rings twisted by several different men on the show which was pretty cool. We also did the islands of Polynesia 2 hour guided tour where we sat down and peeled bananas and coconut looking like materials with the dressed up villagers on site.

Na Lei Aloha Waikiki Luau - Authentic Hula Show, All-You-Can-Eat Buffet at Hyatt

I was truly impressed with everything at Na Lei Aloha Hula Show - Best Food Ever! A beautiful engaging show with super talented performers!

Reviewed by: Julie_MC

[VELTRA Staff Experience]
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!

Na Lei Aloha Waikiki Luau - Authentic Hula Show, All-You-Can-Eat Buffet at Hyatt

One of a kind experience!

Reviewed by: TravelGoddess

(Reviewed by Hawaii Activities Staff)

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.

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

“A must have adventure”

Reviewed by: Tia & Zoltan

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

Polynesian Cultural Center Tour Ticket - Full Day Admission, Dinner & Show

The Best part of my HI trip!

Reviewed by: JBCheney

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.
