Elena was our tour guide and she did an amazing job taking us everywhere and making sure that we had fun with the games. Sister Hunt was also friendly and made us feel welcomed. Byron was our server at Gateway and made sure that we were taken care of the entire time.
Never a dull moment! The experiences were interactive, the staff were wonderful, and the food was delicious. A fantastic way to spend the day!
Our tour guide was amazing very informative a pleasure to be around. And Aaron, our server was also very hands-on and welcoming
The Polynesian Cultural Center is hands down the absolute BEST way to experience Hawaii and the surrounding islands. Everything from the the boat tour to the food all the way down to our host and server making sure we didn't need for anything because it was all taken care of. Easily 5 Stars from top to bottom.
Amazing, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and found the employees so approachable and helpful when our family got lost.
Aleshia was absolutely amazing and made our visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center even more memorable! She was warm, friendly, and welcoming, and her positive energy made our experience so enjoyable. We had such a wonderful time, and Aleshia was a big part of what made our day special. Thank you, Aleshia, for your kindness and hospitality! We’re so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend a visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center! 🌺🤙
Great time, learned some history. Very expensive $$$$
Wonderful time with the family
Great tour from guide Sena. Our favorite show was fron Tonga.
The staff was amazing!! Great for kids you could try out so much! Good shows ! Would have loved to learn more about the history, maybe more handouts giving more historical information would have been great. Collecting stamps is a great idea for kids! We had an amazing time thank you!!
We had a great experience at the Polynesian Cultural Center. The self-guided tour was enjoyable and gave us time to explore with our family at our own pace. Everyone was so sweet and welcoming and the Gateway Buffet was great! Special shout-out to Hazel at the buffet for being so sweet, kind, and helpful whenever we needed anything. She made our experience even better! Highly recommend visiting!
We did the tour of the Pcc with a guide. Emmet was fun and considerate to other peoples time. He was knowledgeable and friendly
Thank you so much for such an amazing experience, we truly had a blast. So many options of food, fruit and desserts. Service was top notch and will definitely be back.
Awesome experience, bucket list
Our Guide was Sea, he was fantastic, full of information and helped us have a wonderful time.
Absolutely worth to go. Great insight the Polynesian culture.
Everyone so lovely and friendly! Great experience!
Great staff and overall enjoyable experience walking around doing shows and activities
We have come to the Polynesian Cultural Center over 10 times. We love it - the quality of the performers, shows, interactions with the cultural presentations is worth every penny. You definitely want to come experience this version of Aloha!
Writing We had an amazing first experience at the Polynesian Cultural Center, and a huge part of that was thanks to our tour guide, Jared! 🌺 We were truly impressed by his enthusiasm, professionalism, and genuine passion for sharing Polynesian culture with others. Knowing that he is a working college student at BYU makes his dedication and the energy he brings to his role even more admirable. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire tour feel welcoming and memorable. Overall, we had such a beautiful experience learning about the rich traditions, history, and cultures of Polynesia. It was more than just a tour, it was an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the culture, appreciate its beauty, and embrace the spirit of mana. 🌴✨ Thank you, Jared, for making our first visit so special! You are a wonderful representative of the Polynesian Cultural Center, and we hope you continue to inspire others through what you do. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Oahu! Mahalo nui loa! ❤️🤙🏼
We had a wonderful experience at the Polynesian Cultural Center with our family of four (two adults and two children)! It was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. We loved the variety of shows and cultural performances, the canoe tours, and the delicious buffet dinner. Everything was well organized, and there was so much to see and experience throughout the day. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made our visit even more enjoyable. The evening show was especially impressive and a perfect way to end the day. We highly recommend the Polynesian Cultural Center for families looking for a fun, memorable, and educational experience in Hawaii. It was absolutely worth it!
It was a great experience. The staff was super nice and helpful. We felt very welcome with every activity. They are so many different things to do and ways to learn about the Polynesian culture.
None its perfect all food is delicious
It rained but no accommodations were made. We left after an hour and ubered back to our hotel in Waikiki
Loved all of it! Very expensive but I would say almost worth it
Great experience. Zeru at the Luau was great.
Everything was well done and well organized.
Cultural Shows and goods were awesome. We enjoyed Hawaiian beautiful culture.
Great time, server is amazing ms dinda made sure we enjoyed our birthday celebration at the gateway buffet! It was awesome and beautiful.
So cool to experience all the cultures! The dancing was fun to watch and each culture taught us so much. The guides at each area were knowledgeable & each wanted to share their culture with us. Hands on activities were super fun. We were 2 adults & loved it. Families with kids...this would be the best!
It was a great experience. Loved learning about the culture. Highlights were definitely Tongan dance, Māori fighting demonstration and the buffet. Kun, from Taichung, was amazing and ensured we had a good time.
Amazing day, the buffet was so good after walking around all day. Best food we have had in Oahu.
Pen was the man! The performances were beautiful and loved learning about the culture and heart of Hawaii. Food was not great.
Amazing. Love the wholesomeness of the whole experience and of the students
Echo was an amazing tour guide and Deb provided incredible service at the Luau.
So much culture to experience around each island. Many interactive activities and experiences to watch. Many knowledgeable staff that gave us details of all the sections we were at. Highly recommend. Left feeling more educated and well informed
The Islands of Polynesia is 100% every cent of admission. Super informative, very interactive and the staff are mostly students from the local university showing their cultures and customs. It is incredible to see their enjoyment in sharing dances, songs, traditions, and language of their heritage. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Really amazing and fun place to be!
Spending the day at the PCC was a great way to learn about the importance of different Polynesian Island cultures. The grounds are lovely. Seeing the different Polynesian cultures was an educational experience. The Brigham young student guides were knowledgeable about the different cultures. The PCC is a beautiful place to spend a day on Oahu.
This was one of the most immersive experiences we’ve ever encountered. We chose the guided tour and could not have been more pleased with our day. From start to finish our day was planned for us, when one experience was done we walked to the next. I highly recommend this for all ages! Our kids were always included in all activities and they enjoyed themselves a lot also! This is a must do experience!
Professionally done. The artists are prepared and perform dances and stories with excellent quality. They all speak their Polynesian languages. Everything feels authentic. Everybody welcomes you with a smile.
We love Kun! He was a great server!
Everyone id so friendly and talented. It is such a joy to see how much pride they have for their heritage
So enjoyable. The staff was delightful.
We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary here, and we couldn’t have chosen a better place. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming, and we had a wonderful time. A special thank you to James, who went above and beyond and surprised us with a lovely gesture for our anniversary. It made our stay even more special and memorable. Thank you for making our anniversary such a beautiful experience. We truly enjoyed our stay.
We loved the tour and the shows
We had a great and relaxing time at the PCC. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Rain dampened our visit but they supplied rain ponchos and kept us undercover. Recommend to all people, young and old. 👍🏻
Truly an experience not to be missed. You can feel the warmth of the people from each island that you visit. It is a beautiful cultural experience to behold in one beautiful location. The only thing keeping this from being a 5 star review is the operating hours. The experience opens its gates at 12:15 and the island experiences end at 5pm. Each island has a presentation that they do every hour, but they all seem to start at the same time. I just wish that we had an extra hour or two to fully enjoy all of the islands in 1 visit. For most of us, that 1 visit is all we have to make it to PCC. Other than that, we had a lovely time. Would absolutely recommend and do again.
Amazing. Amazing to see the different traditions and cultures. Also the hospitality is great. Very friendly and helpfull. This is what I expected how hawaii would be. I feel very fortunate and honered to experience a part of their culture and ways.
