The Polynesian Cultural Center was a great experience! The Cultural show was the best. We even got this incredble dessert to go along with it and they were so good! Some sort of fruity type of ice cream. YUM! I highly recommend this! Shelley/Owen from Calgary,AB Canada

This was my second time to Paradise Cove and it was just as good as the first time! Went with my whole family Mom, Dad, Brother, Sisters and 4 Teens. Everyone who works at Paradise Cove is super friendly. All the activities they offer are great and the dancers are so beautiful & handsome. Highly Recommend.

サンセットがきれいなのが一番印象に残っています。
料理は、十分な量でおいしくいただけました。カニがお代わりできましたが、1回で十分でした。
ショーの最後にみんなで列を作って歩くのは楽しかったです。
日本人は少なく欧米の方が多かったです。
一度は行くことをお勧めします。

どういう訳か…日本で目にする観光案内にはあまり宣伝されていないのが不思議なくらい、パラダイス・コーブのルアウは最高です!
一言では言い表せないファンタスティックなツアーです。
「ハワイに来たら必ず観るのさ。絶対に外せないネ!」とメインランドからきたアメリカ人が豪語してましたが、米国では相当に有名らしく、これが楽しみで休暇をとって来たという方もいらっしゃいました。
バスに乗り込めば、もうガイドはノリノリ。エキサイティングな雰囲気に包まれてツアーが始まります。
先ず、ホテル周辺で開催される模擬的なルアウとは根本的なロケーションが違い過ぎます。リゾート地に会場を設け、地に着いたお祭り(ルアウ)そのものからして本物だと実感させられます。
海に沈み行く夕日を眺めながら、会場内にある数々のイベントに参加するのもルアウの楽しいひと時です。
ただ一つ、日本人からの難点を挙げるとすれば、ディナーショーにふさわしい料理か?という不満はあるかも知れません。
まあ、ハワイ料理のビッフェスタイル…大味のオンパレードは仕方ないかも。一流ホテルのビッフェを除けば大抵はこんなモノでしょうかね。
しかし、一旦照明が落ちて漆黒を迎えてからが圧巻です!
スポットライトが射し込み、強烈な炎の舞で一気に幕が開くと、妖艶優美なフラとが入り乱れてクライマックスへ向けて延々とドライブが続きます。
もう料理の味など吹っ飛ぶほどの興奮と感動を堪能するのです。
シャイな娘が舞台に上がる機会をいただけたり…客へのサービスも演出された、さすがハワイNo.1のルアウだな!と感銘した次第。
ハワイに来て今想う事は、「これだけは外せない」です!

Very enjoyable experience, but a long day. The Luau wasn't what I expected. If you are looking for the luau on the beach you won't care for this one. Overall a fantastic place. There are so many things to see. Very friendly staff and guides. The night show was outstanding. You have to experience this if you come to Oahu. Well worth the money

We enjoyed the Oahu Sightseeing Tour (Grand Circle Island Tour w/ Kualoa Ranch and Dole Pineapple Plantation). Our driver/tour guide "Napi" had so much information to share with us - he really made this trip interesting. I learned many things about the island that I would not have known about had we gone on this trip by ourselves in a rental car The price was reasonable and worth it. I recommend this to anyone coming to Oahu.

This was out first Luau and after reading other reviews, knew this was the one for us. From 5:00pm to 9:30pm we had the time of our lives. All the activities before dinner were so much fun. Kids loved everything as did us adults. The dinner itself was fantastic. The Pork was some of the best I have ever had. The dancers and the show was excellent. Well worth the money we paid. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

日本人は私達だけでした。ガイドの方が日系だったので
日本語が話せたので助かりました。ただ、車中は英語だった
ので何を話しているのかわかりませんでしたが、盛り上がっていたことは確かです。

中2の娘と二人で参加、かなり日本人には冒険のツアーということは知っていたが聞きしに勝るネイティブツアー。大型バスの中で日本人は私たち母娘のみ、ガイドに日本語わかりません、と一言前置きされてから7時間まったく一言も日本語なし。英語力にはかなり自信ありでしたが行き返りのバスでの弾丸のようなしゃべり、アメリカンジョーク、トランスレートは追い付きません、しかもお隣さんや後前さんで握手や肩もみなんていう仲間意識をあおってパーティー(ルアウ)を盛り上げよう!的なガイドからの要請もある!現地でも然り、バスごとにテーブルにつき盛り上がるのでコミュニケーション必須かも。色々大変だけどハワイ5回目の私にも新鮮なハワイアンショーでした。誰かが書いてくれたとおり大事なのは、自分のバスナンバーと帰り時間(9:30ごろでした)を忘れないこと。現地に着いたら食事までの時間はかずかずのアクチビティーがタダなのでどんどん参加すること、ホラ貝の合図でヤシの木のぼりや地引網漁などのショーがあるのでそちらに行ってみること!積極的に参加することが大切です。ポリネシアン文化センターは島々の歴史やその違いがわかりやすく説明される催しですがこちらは踊りを中心に全部が参加型、比較はできません。アメリカ人のその場を心から楽しむ精神を痛感するツアーでした。英語わからなくてもいーやーと思えればラク、できれば大人数のほうがうちわで盛り上がれるのでいいかも!

My family and I absolutely loved visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center while in Oahu. I highly recommend spending the extra money and getting the Ambassador All day package. You will get a very personal tour guide of all the Polynesian villages. You are kept well entertained and learn a lot about the Polynesian cultures. The luau and the food was great, and the Night Show was beautiful and entertaining. I wished i had know the we were able to return on the ticket purchased to go back and go through it slower and get to do some of the events. please check out how to return

I ordered this as a surprise for my daughter. Didn't catch the greeter's name as we were exhausted, but her friendly face was waiting right by the exit gate with a sign that had my daughter's name clearly marked. Our flight had been delayed, and while she was friendly, she appreciated that we weren't feeling our best. I ordered the standard lei for my daughter hoping it wouldn't set off her allergies. Smelled great, looked beautiful and no reaction. She took us to baggage claim and made sure we had transportation to the hotel. I would definitely do this again for other friends or family coming to visit.

I had gone to this Luau about 20 years prior and had a very favorable memory of it. This time, I have to say, was disappointing. First off, I bought the half day package. I'm not sure if there was a misunderstanding or what, but our driver ( I also paid for transportation) said that our guide couldn't make it, so he took us on a tour when we got there. I felt the tour was rushed and not very impressive. I suppose for the half day, you shouldn't expect much.
He then took us to dinner a little late, and we were seated in the waaay back of the line, which makes a difference. The tables go to the buffet in order, so if you are towards the back, it's slim pickin's. The buffet itself was average, although considering what we paid, was below average for the price. I didn't get to see anything of the cooking of the pig or anything about the traditions, again, maybe because I was late.
The show, however, was as billed. There were many many different dances, and the dan

My husband and I were first time visitors to Hawaii and wanted the full experience, including the lei greeting. We had already indulged by flying first class so we were nice and relaxed and so excited to be in Hawaii! The greeter was literally right at the gate so we saw her right away. Unfortunately it was just some chick in a flowered "Hawaii" shirt with our names on a piece of paper and a plastic grocery bag who placed our leis, said welcome to Hawaii and pointed us in the wrong direction to the baggage claim. I had planned on giving her a tip of a couple bucks but she bailed so quickly I didn't even get a chance. At least she stuck around long enough to take a pic of my husband & I with our leis! Luckily my husband and I were in such a great mood and happy to be there we just laughed it off and went on our way. The leis were beautiful and lasted several days, unfortunately we had no way to keep them cool and make them last longer, but we have wonderful pictures as keepsakes

My husband and I were first time visitors to Hawaii and definitely wanted to attend a luau. After checking out all the reviews several times, we decided on this one. We opted for the deluxe dinner package w/ VIP seating and it was well worth it. The only downside to the whole trip was that the bus was late leaving the pickup point (seems to be a regular problem with them for some reason but you quickly learn the meaning of "Hawaii time") so we had less time to check out the grounds but a great time anyway. Cousin Kahale was quite entertaining on the bus and had explained everything to us by the time we got there. Once we arrived we received our leis and were whisked away to begin our VIP treatment. We had a personal escort take us inside, get our complimentary photos taken at the entrance and given a personal tour of the grounds and where to find everything. I would definitely recommend bringing several bucks extra in cash if you're like me and love getting the full experience,

My husband and were first time visitors to Hawaii and this seemed like a nice thing to do. We got the 3 star package with the celebration plan and definitely had a great time. This was our last planned event during our stay and it was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Hawaii. We were quickly shown to our table and the dinner service went smoothly from there. We went up to the deck above several times to check out the view of Waikiki Beach all the way down to Diamond Head. Dinner was wonderful (although a little messy since we had the lobster) and the entertainment (a jazz duo with a saxophonist for a couple numbers) during dinner was lovely. We came back to our table at one point to find the photo they took right after we boarded sitting in a very nice cover on our table, free with the package we ordered. The show after dinner was quite entertaining, especially when they got everyone in the room up on their feet and dancing in one big mass of people, it was so much fun!

The quality of the lei's were excellent and the greeter was extremely friendly. She escorted us to our baggage claim and made sure we were able to get to our ground transportation.

ハワイ大好きのおばさん二人です。
英会話学習中で日本語が通じないこのツアーに参加しました。
私たちが最後のピックアップで、バスに乗車したとたん中は凄い盛り上がりで、意味がわからなかったけれど楽しかったです。
入口でダンサーと写真を撮っり、ほしい人は後で買うのですが、私たちは写真はいらなかったので、はじめからスルーできたらよかったと思いました。買わないことにちょっと罪悪感が残りました。
いろいろなパホーマンスに参加したり、食事をしながらショーを見て、また帰りのバスも元気一杯。

What a surprise for my wife. It was our 25th anniversary and her first time in Honolulu. The Lei greeting was the icing on the cake as she had seen this many times on TV. The staff member met us as promised with a fantastic matching Lei for each of us. My one regret is that real flowers don't last but it was worth it. She then gave us assistance by guiding us to the inter-island terminal.

今回でハワイも5回目、お金を掛けて参加したいアクティビティはほぼ経験済みの状態ですが、同行するメンバーが異なっているので今回もお薦めのスターオブホノルルに乗船しました。1年半前に比較して、不況だというのにどういう訳かホノルルの物価は上昇していて(円高分を見込んで日本円支払い額を同一にしようとしているのかな?)このクルーズも$6.4値上がりしていましたが、他のツアーでは乗ったこともない豪華なリムジンバスにピックアップされて(帰りの足を考えると送迎付きがお薦め)、前回同様にうきうき気分で乗船しました。大きなロブスター丸ごととテンダーロインの豪華な料理には当然堪能しまたが、それにもまして給仕(言い方が古いな)してくれる若い人達の陽気なこと、これぞハワイと言った気分にさせてくれます。是非皆さんも片言ので良いから邪魔にならない程度に話しかけてみては如何でしょうか?夕陽も食事もショーにも堪能して最後には、隣の真面目そうなパパも思わず立ち上がった全員参加型のダンスというか手拍子で幕を閉じました。ハワイは日本人に元気をくれますな~。
