ビショップミュージアムの庭でハワイ伝統の植物の話を聞くのは楽しかったし、全くの初心者でしたが歌の意味を習いながら、専門的な講師の資格を持つ先生からフラダンスのレッスンを受けることができ、貴重な体験ができました。フラレッスンの最後には、ガイドさんに自分たちの踊る様子をスマホで撮ってほしいとお願いしたところ、快く引き受けてくださいました。
フラレッスンの次に、レイメイキングをしました。レイの紐(輪っか)の部分も草で編み、最後に花を挿します。花は1日で萎れてしまうので、ホテルに戻るとすぐに一旦冷蔵庫で保存し、夜のお出かけ時に着けて出かけました。花は日本に持って帰れませんが、花を抜いて輪っかの部分だけなら日本に持ち込めます(税関大丈夫とのこと。使う前に電子レンジにかけてるみたいでした)。日本に持って帰ったら乾燥させ、ドライフラワー状態で保存することができます。

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.

I enjoyed this event very much because of the beautiful view and interesting stories about the stars. At about 8 to 8:30 pm, the sky was getting darker and darker. I was able to many stars in the sky with my naked eyes. However, if your eyesight is not very good, I recommend you bring your glasses or wear contacts. I was able to see the cluster of stars, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and more through the telescope. I really liked it, especially because it is such a rare opportunity to observe the stars through telescopes.
Mahalo and Aloha. Keep reaching for the stars!!

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.

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!

I arranged this as a surprise for my 85 year old mother for her first trip to Hawaii. She was so thrilled and very impressed by the young lady (Briana) who met us with the lei and took pictures of us together. It was the perfect start to a beautiful and memorable vacation. My mom wore the lei for several days and couldn’t resist telling everybody about her experience
Aloha Karen!
A big Mahalo to you both! Briana was ecstatic to inform us of your lei greeting, and she had a wonderful time assisting you! It must have been a great kick-start to your vacation after that flight delay, but I hope you both had a wonderful vacation nonetheless.

This is a must do experience if one wants to know more about the Polynesian Culture!
My friends and I got the Ambassador package and was extremely amazed with how all the performers, guides and crew were doing everything with so much heart and passion! There is no lying on how one consistently feels so intrigued with learning about another culture.
Despite this being a manicured and curated tourist attraction with a make-believe setting, it doesn't disappoint. Being called "family" all the time does make the entire experience different.
The Luau night show is not be be missed! The show is called Hai and is so well done that I personally want to experience it again!
Overall, there is nothing much to fault. Also note that tickets purchased and not single entry! You can go back again on another day to continue your tour if you have missed out on certain experiences.
Thumbs up!

The whole Polynesian Cultural Center experience is a must when visiting Oahu. We to Oahu in 2016 and was so fortunate to be able to go back and see this venue. There was plenty of things to do in a day (and everyone should go back either two or three days), seeing the tickets are good for three days. The cultural entertainment was very intriguing. Unfortunately, we weren't able to do many activities on the island as there was just so much to consume the first day there.
The staff was very attentive and friendly, most of them students. Any monies spent went to the tuition and any educational expenses.
The luau was a delight. Plenty of food and very organized!
Highly Recommend!!

Passport to Pearl Harbor is the perfect way to see the historic place. It was a great experience to see inside of USS Bowfin, Mighty Mo & the Aviation museum. However, we were not able to go to the Arizona memorial because they were doing repairs. The boat just took us around there then the speaker’s microphone stopped working so we didn’t hear anything he said.

We learned so much from the talented performers...The canoe celebration was a treat...so very crowded for viewing, but it was the Christmas holiday break. When I think of the Polynesian Cultural Center, I will smile and remember the villages, the luau and it's good feeling and the fantastic show...Ha. Unforgettable.

PCC was a lot of fun and had so many different things to do. This was my third time coming to the center. I got there at noon, had their lunch buffet, and visited a few islands before seeing the new canoe show. Huki replaces the canoe pageant and is a lot more elaborate: there's a narration, music, and many more canoes in the water. The show as a whole is a lot more impressive, just make sure you get there early to get good seats in the shade.
After the canoe show we went to a few more villages (Samoa, Fiji, Tonga) before having our fancy prime rib dinner. I preferred the setting of the fine dining option to the luau dinner, as it was quieter and they have ice cream. Crab legs were also a bonus. After dinner, I had an hour or so to spend at the Hukilau Marketplace before the night show, so I browsed around. The night show was great. It put together things from every village presentation along with music, lights, and a longer story that connects all of it. The show is pretty long though, so use the bathroom beforehand (no intermissions).
PCC is a fun way to spend a day in Hawaii and learn a lot about Polynesian culture. Even if you've been there before like me, there's always something new to see or try!

Great tour, our driver ‘Captain Ron’ was great, very informative and someone who really loves his job! Pick up time was 07:30 so a bit later than other full day tours which we preferred too. Only issue was that we picked some people up from the airport coming from Maui who had missed their flight so had to wait for an hour, but Captain Ron kept us entertained and we still had plenty of time at each place.
Personally I loved the video and the boat trip around the Missouri but my husband loved the Aviation museum. Would definitely recommend this tour and plenty to see and do!

We were greeted as soon as we arrived and the lei is still looking well after a few days. Our greeter took pictures and it was a nice way to have anyone who visits Hawaii (especially for the first time). I was hoping for a fuller lei and I'm glad I got my friend the deluxe one since it I thought that it would have been fuller but the lei itself was not as full as I thought it would be. I would not be excited to see the less lei.
The greeter herself. was wonderful! She even offered us help with our bags and walked us to the baggage claim.
Aloha Diana! Thank you for taking the time to review your lei greeting! Your greeter, Marlyn, was happy to have assisted you and your friend. She did inform us of your dilemma, but I can confirm the Classic Orchid Lei was made as ordered. Hopefully the next time, we can provide you with the Deluxe Orchid Lei Greeting, or, we can also ship to lei nationwide. Please give us a call, and we will be more than happy to assist you!
