One of a kind experience!

(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.

Wonderful Experience!

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

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.

FAVORITE ACTIVITY ON OAHU

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

This activity is my favorite activity on Oahu. You start the paddle as the sun is setting, and end when it's dark. You are guided by LED lights on the bottom of the board, that illuminate the ocean below you. Making it visible to see so much sea life. On this paddle I have seen MANY turtles, manta rays, fish, jellyfish, and even small reef sharks (not to worry they are small and harmless).

This is truly a one of a kind experience that is so much fun! The guides are extremely knowledgeable of the area, and not to mention very personable. You can tell they love their job! They make sure everyone is comfortable and safe, which makes this tour so enjoyable.

No paddle board experience? No need, the guides will instruct you along the way, and make sure you don't feel pressured to do anything you don't want to do. I would recommend this paddle to any one who likes an adventure, or anyone who is looking to step outside of their comfort zone.

Educational, comfortable, and engaging!

[Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff]

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.

Pacific Star Buffet Package

{Reviewed by HawaiiActivities.com Staff}

On 12/19/23 I went on Star of Honolulu, and participated in the Pacific Star Buffet Package. Finding the boat was easy due to it's large size. Walking up we were greeted by real hula dancers, that really set the vibe for the evening. Upon boarding the ship there was staff along the way that assisted in finding your section.

The ship is very large in size, and was so much fun to explore. The top deck was my favorite part, but definitely bring a sweater it can get a bit chilly! I recommend visiting the top deck as the sun is setting for your perfect kodak moment on the water, and once again when it gets' dark to see the beautiful city lights, and view of Diamond Head Crater.

The severs were very studious, and genuine when checking on our table. The buffet line went very quickly, hardly a wait at all! The food was delicious, with many options for all dietary needs. Being mainly plant based I was impressed by all the plant based sides, my favorite was the tofu salad! They even have a vegan patty upon request.

The show, and production was very engaging for the whole family. If you are traveling with a large group including children, I recommend the Pacific Star package there is something for everyone!

Fantastic Tour

On July 14th, 2023 I went on the Grand Circle Island Tour. It was more than a grand experience! We stopped at places I've never been before like the Pali lookout and Byodo-in Temple. Our tour guide Lola was so funny, and extremely knowledgeable of the island. She even gave us a Poi Donut that was so yummy. Her enthusiastic energy, and experience on island made me feel safe and comfortable riding on her bus all day.

Each stop we had plenty of time to take picture, and learn all about these special places. The tour was extremely diverse making it an experience I'll never forget. The bus was so comfortable with amazing air conditioning, and even had a foot rest. The bus being so high up gave an advantage of seeing sights that you couldn't see in a regular car.

We were given plenty of time in Haleiwa to eat lunch and shop. Lola had many great recommendations for lunch there was so many options it was hard to choose! Stopping at the Dole Plantation was the perfect way to end the tour getting a well deserved sweet treat.

I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting the island whether it's your 1st or 50th time on island. Something for everyone!
