ビショップミュージアムへは、宿泊先のシェラトンワイキキから徒歩3分のバス停08:03発のThe Buss2番に乗車、約45分走行後のSchoolSt.で下車し、09:00頃入館しました。
こういった情報については、ホテルスタッフやバス運転手に十分な確認をとってから出発したので不安はありませんでした。
到着後は、ハワイ文化が好きで勉強したという日本人スタッフのAYAさんから、館内説明を受け、その後、約1時間のフラ(初級)レッスンを受けました。
講師のNoelani Chang(ノエラニ チャン)さんは、丁度日本の教室へ出張中という事で、その姪御さんからのレッスンとなりました。
曲目はHalema,uma,u「ハレマウマウ」
母は日本でのフラ経験3年以上の中級者ですが、妹と私は初体験でした。でも、色違いのパウスカートを身に着けて、講師のするとおりに踊り、1時間で何とか4つのパートを覚え、ところどころ間違いながらも、通して1曲踊れるまでになりました。
最後に皆で記念撮影、その後は、プルメリアの花と解凍して柔らかくした緑色の長い葉っぱ(名前は忘れました)を使ったレイ作りを楽しみ、お土産に持ち帰りました。
とても充実したツアーとなり、皆大満足でした。
帰りのバスでは、一人途中下車して、フォスター植物園、出雲大社、チャイナタウンを歩いて回り、キングスビレッジからHISの無料トロリーでワイキキまで戻って来ました。

We're not sure what is the typical greeting but going to Hawaii for the first time for us meant a definite lei greeting. It was simple. There was a guy waiting with a sign. No pictures or fancy process, but we did ask him to take a photo after the fact. Glad we did it.

Our Greeter was so friendly... ordered these welcome lei's as a surprise for my friend who I was traveling with.. She is allergic to flowers, I was able to do a traditional kukui nut lei with a shell upgrade, these were beautiful and fragrant free, perfect for my friend and we could still enjoy a welcome lei... Our greeter was so nice, took our picture, guided us down to baggage claim and helped us find our rental car shuttle.

Do the orchids!!! My husband was surprised and they lasted a long time. Keep them in the fridge. Yes there are orchids in the airport to buy but it is not the same as getting the Hawaiian greeting. Definitely for 1st timers. Kids would love this!

What an amazing time at Polynesian Cultural Center. Everyone was so nice. All the shows were top notch and very entertaining. The food at the luau was very good despite reading prior reviews, we thought it was terrific. The "Ha breath of life" show was very entertaining and had us on the edge of our seats. Highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen the show. The dancers and story tellers are so talented. A definite MUST see on your trip to Oahu. Kudos to everyone at the center especially the dancers and entertainers

I have gone many times with family and friends so they can enjoy as I did my first time.mmalways great day this time also, as Iwe had private tour guide which was amazing. Reason for one star down is that I paid for mini bus and was transported in large coach which less personal. I admit we had a great driver. Funny informable about trip and culture center. I did pay extra for mini so think I deserve refund for that upgrade.

Everything was just perfect! I had the super Ambassador package with a private guide and I really felt privileged and I enjoyed the culture and traditions of the Polynesian people. Every show, every cultural event was organized with great respect and love for the Polynesian natives. I had a dip in the full life of seven similar, but very different, traditions, culminating in the wonderful final show: Ha, a breath of life! I also appreciated the fact that the Polynesian Center is carried out by students of the various islands and that our contribution is to support their studies. This is a great way to spread culture! MAHALO!
Special thanks to Clifton, my personal guide. He is a good hearted boy with a deep feeling for his culture and a deep respect for other people.
