On March 15th, 2024, I went to PCC and participated in the Gateway Buffet package. This experience included admission to the park, buffet, and show. Each village was unique, and educational. The canoe ride was my favorite part of the park, a must do!
The buffet dinner was INCREDIBLE, they had everything you could imagine. From salad, sides, pork, chicken, beef, seafood, and dessert. The presentation of the food, and dinning hall felt like something out of a movie! They really set the scene for local cuisine.
'HA: Breath of Life,' show was spectacular a must see! The dancers were truly amazing! I would definitely go see it again and again. Everything about PCC was so professional, engaging, fun, and educational. There is something for the whole family.
I would recommend PCC to anyone who enjoys learning about different cultures, and has a full day to spend away from Waikiki.

This was a full day activity. We stared on the canoe amd ended the one end. Walked to each village. At each village they are very informative on their culture. They have activities you can participate in or just watch their 15-20 min skits. The journey movies was quite amazing but moves a lot, but worth it. The buffet was absolutely the best I've ever been to! So much food to choose from. Plus there was live entertainment. We also stayed for the breath of life show, which was spectacular. Goosebumps for sure.

Our bus tour guide was absolutely amazing! Juicy is his name. He was very informative and funny. He helped us with everything we needed and told us where to go. The pearl harbor site was breathe taking. They are all very informative at every site you go to. The Missouri is massive and takes awhile to see it all but it was very self explanatory and easy to do a self tour. It was all worth it!

As a whole, the experience to see and learn more about the terrible happenings on December 7, 1941 was an outstanding opportunity and well orchestrated.
The Arizona memorial was incredibly humbling. I never knew there are more than 900 souls still at rest below the memorial. Also, the endless oil leak from the ship was quite a surprise.
Now, to be honest, I thought we'd be walking on a glass bottom floor so one could see more of the ruins. But, as it was, with the displays available, the wall of names, etc., it was quite effective.
May God continue to bless all the lost souls, injured warriors, and their families.
Next, we toured the USS Missouri. What an amazing ship with displays to explain personnel jobs, their quarters, and all the cogs of the wheel it takes to operate and maintain such massive equipment. God bless our service men and women.
Finally, we walked through the air museum. It was very cool to see all of the various aircraft on display, with some still flying today! Sweet!
Lastly, the bus driver that picked us up from our hotel was quite entertaining and full of good information. He kept us informed and laughing as we drove through Honolulu and a fallen soldier cemetery on the way to Pearl Harbor. We learned about how the reservations work, native Hawaiian life and culture, and the MANY, MANY types of Spam there are in Hawaii! Woohoo... gotta love Spam :-)
Thanks you so much for this opportunity. Obvious, you are highly recommended!!!
Sincerely,

I had the best time on this tour. Our tour guide was amazing he was the best. The waterfall was awesome to swim in but you had to walk at least 30 min to get there which was not a bad hike at all. The scenery was beautiful and I even got a glimpse of a peacoke. The tour paid for coffee breakfast and lunch which was delicious. After the hike we went to Dole Plantation for dole whip which is pineapple ice cream.

日本人は私たち夫婦のみだったためか、緒川集人さんから、ショウが始まる前に声をかけていただき「様子を見て日本語も入れますから。」などと説明していただけました。ショウが始まると、聞き取り易い英語で司会の方がジョークを入れた楽しいマジックを見せてくれ、緒川さんのショウでは、唯一参加している日本人として振られる突っ込みもあり、言葉の壁を越えて他の観客の人たちと一体感を感じながらのあっという間の1時間でした。
ハワイは、これまで20数回来ているのですが、アウトドアが専門だったので、今回はこれまでと違ったショウを楽しんでみようと参加したのが大正解でした。
世界一と言われる緒川さんのマジックを間近で見ることができて本当に楽しかったです。

We had a family of eight on this tour and all enjoyed themselves.
The bus arrived at our pickup point on time. The driver/host was very knowledgeable about Pearl Harbor as well as other local sites. The only slight drawback was the sound system on the bus was acting up and occasionally produced feedback (no the fault of the driver/host). She dealt with it as best she could.
We arrived at all the tour points of interest on time and had plenty of time to view each. Given the clear instructions from the driver/host, we knew exactly when to be where.
The lunch was good and the location in the aviation museum was enjoyable.
We finally were returned to the pickup point, also on time.
All-in-all a very enjoyable and interesting day. I highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our excursion from the bus ride to the Polynesian Centre to the bus ride back to our hotel. Our driver's name was Misi! He went above and beyond what was expected of him.
The walk through the Centre was incredible. Seeing the different islands and cultures. We took a canoe ride after walking around for about 4 hours. It was a welcome relief getting of our feet.
Our tickets included the dinner buffet. There was so much food to choose from which made it difficult to try everything. It was good.
After dinner we watched the The Breath of Life which was incredibly good. The performance was amazing. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful day.

The Cultural Center Island tour was full of amazing and helpful hosts and entertainers. I have never felt more welcome by so many people. To temper a few expectations some of the activities we expected to be interactive were instead demos by professionals only but we still had a blast doing the many activities that do allow participation and those alone filled a very full day of exploring the islands.
The Buffet was delicious had more foods than we could fit and incredibly welcoming atmosphere.
The HA Breath of life show was an amazing experience and some of the best fire spinning and hula and so much more you will get to see in Hawaii
Be warned: the gap of time between the closing of the cultural center and the opening for the final show is quite long (they do warn you about his on the bus and offer an early exit at 6pm if you decide before 4pm that you wont have the energy) but with that said it was well worth it and we were glad we stayed for the full show.

On 11/09/2023 I went on this Pearl Harbor tour, and had a full day of education. This was my first time at Pearl Harbor, and I'm so glad I went with Polynesian Adventure Tours. They were on time for pick up, the bus was so comfortable, and the guide clearly enjoyed his job with how much information he shared on Hawaii.
When we arrived to Pearl Harbor we were given a map, that was so helpful! Each section of PH on the map was numbered, that kept me on track of the schedule of the day. Without this map I would have been so lost!
Each museum we were given plenty of time to read all the information, if you are a quick reader you may feel like it's too much time, but I felt like it was the perfect amount of time. My favorite was the submarine!!
Lunch was so yummy, and was a very generous proportion. Was served in the middle of tour which was perfect for giving me energy I needed for the rest of the day. Highly recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes, because there is a lot of walking throughout the day.
I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys a guided tour, and who isn't renting a car while on island.

Having experienced many shows across Hawaii, I must say the Magical Mystery Show in Waikiki stands out as one of the absolute best. Accompanied by my 10-year-old niece, we were both completely mesmerized by the sheer brilliance of this performance.
The ambiance and decor of the venue transported us back to the enchanting Victorian era, and it was a delightful immersion into a world of wonder and magic. Not to mention convenience of its location made it very accessible for a non-driver like me :)
However, the true highlight was the exceptional magician whose performance was nothing short of spectacular. Their mastery and skill were evident in every act, and they had the audience's attention captivated throughout the show. My niece, in particular, was enthralled and thoroughly enjoyed every moment, and was so excited when she was called up to assist!
All in all, the Magical Mystery Show in Waikiki is an absolute gem, and definitely a must-see for anyone looking to have an evening filled with enchantment and awe~
Thank you for your kind words, Yamanaka-san. Creating an experience that fulfills the happiness of all ages is challenging and we are thrilled you enjoyed The Magical Mystery Show! Leaving this comment and your 5-star review helps others decide if this is right for them. We are so grateful you chose to share your experience and wish you all the best!!!

I recently attended the Mauka Warriors Luau in Oahu and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the entertainment. Having been to many luaus throughout Hawaii, I can say that Mauka Luau stands out with its unique and special show. The Thrilling Fire Knife Dancing was the best and most impressive on the entire island!
In my opinion, what makes Mauka Luau truly distinctive is its interactive experience and engaging storytelling, The mesmerizing hula and fire performances narrate fascinating stories of the islands' history
Before the dinner and luau show, there is a great variety of different hands-on Polynesian activities to enjoy.
While the buffet might not have the widest variety compared to other luaus, the food at Mauka Luau is incredibly tasty and presented beautifully.
The venue itself offers stunning mountain and ocean views of Waikiki and Honolulu, and if you look carefully, you can even catch a glimpse of Diamond Head in the distance. They strive to offer a more intimate setting and there is plenty of space in between the tables, so you don't feel crowded.
Transportation from Waikiki is available, making it convenient for guests, and the prices are affordable, offering excellent value for the experience you receive at the Luau. Plus, all guests receive complimentary professional photos sent directly to their phones, which is a nice touch.
I highly recommend checking it out!

これまでハワイに来た時に(30年前、10年前)観たマジックショーがあまりにもすばらしかったので、探して申込もうとしましたが、当時のマジシャンは引退されたようでした。今回初めて異なる日本人マジシャンを観ましたが、まさるとも劣らぬ素晴らしいマジシャンで、とても充実した時間を過ごせました。至近距離で観させて頂いた事、トークが面白く幻想的な雰囲気である事が良かったです。トイレに行きたい時や飲み物の追加注文等の可否のタイミングが良く分からなかったのは残念でした。又、本番が始まるまでの導入部と集合時間以降の待ち時間が長い。又立って並んで待っている時に飲み物のカクテルを飲ませるのは頂けない、寧ろ失礼かと思います。どうせなら飲み物は会場で。
Thank you for your comment about our magic being "as good as any show you have ever seen" and that you had a "fulfilling time"! You gave us 3 out of 5 stars and it appears you have deducted stars because we provided a free cocktail! And that you "were not sure when to go to the bathroom." We provided keys and explained that the bathroom, if needed, is always open and you can go any time you want. We are sad you didn't rate the show experience as a 5-star event because of a free drink or bathroom issue. It tells people the experience is bad when in fact - you seem to have loved the show! Thank you for commenting and if you choose to increase your star rating it sure will help others know that this indeed is a superior value and a great experience. Consider updating your review to 5 stars? Thank you!
