What an incredible meaningful tour! Paytan was exceptionally personable, knowledgeable and so much fun. She was patient with my dad who has Alzheimer's, keeping each of us delighted with each village.

Absolutely wonderful experience, very informative while providing great entertainment.
My husband and I did the Super Ambassador package with the Circle Island Tour, and it was worth every penny. The grounds are beautiful and we learned so much about each island's culture. The staff are hard workers who are smart, friendly and kind. You can tell they're proud to honor their ancestors, and it shows in everything they do. Our guide, Tinn, made the day so special. She was warm, knowledgeable and took such good care of us. No wonder she's wearing an Employee of the Month pin! The front-row seats at the luau and Hā show were amazing. If you're going to Oahu, don't miss this, and ask for Tinn!
The trip overall was amazing, our guide Jason was very welcoming!
I realy enjoyed about learning how the culture was perceived.
We had a fantastic day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Our guide, Paul, was exceptionally helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. He shared great insight about all the different island villages and the cultures we got to learn about. The food service was amazing, and the food was even better. Axel also gave us an amazing backstage tour. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish!
Educational. Entertaining. Fun. Great guides. Spent all day hete and I wish I had mre time to return tomorrow.
The whole experience was perfect. All the way from the shows and lessons to the buffet styled dinner. If you are on Oahu it's a must visit. Spend a whole day here it's worth it.
We had a great experience with this tour. Our tour guide, Rochelle, was excellent, knowledgeable, kind, and cheerful. The luau and show was phenomenal and our server, Naomi, was top notch and extremely professional. We had the best experience with Polynesian Cultural Center!
Naomi was our server and Rochelle was our guide. They both did phenomenal!
Heydden was an excellent guide. We got to all the islands.
Wonderful. High point of our vacation. Nio was an amazing guide-the absolute best!!
Highly recommend. Every thing was wonderful
Fantastic food, environment and our server was such a pleasure to have.
Neil was incredible would definitely recommend! Pen was a great server at the buffet as well.
JM (young guy from the philippines) was our server at the luau and he was great and very friendly. Everyone who worked there was very cheerful and helpful.
Wonderful, educational and very informative. We had a blast and will be recommending it to others.
Ana was an amazing tour guide and helped us experience so much of the park! We really enjoyed the luau and the caring service we received there from JW!
Thank you for the hospitality from my guide and the hostess
Our experience here was amazing! Having a guide ensure that you make it to all the shows quickly was a god-send; and reserved seating was a huge plus, too! Our guide, Ezra, was so much fun and knew so much about each of the islands. She walked us through everything that we were seeing and experiencing, and even took pics/videos for us. She definitely made the experience even better!
This was an amazing experience that we will recommend to anyone traveling to Oahu! Our guide, Nahau, was so loving, sweet and educated on the whole experience! She taught both of us so much about Polynesian Culture. It is something we will never forget, and great for our mother-daughter vacation!
Brad, our guy was fabulous, he took great care of us and provided lots of interesting information. The entire experience including all the entertainment was first class. Thank you.
This was so wonderful and we had a great experience learned so much and this is just a joyful place.
Our experience was one of a kind! Brad was very knowledgeable on the islands and he was such a great host it was like walking around with another friend! I would 100% do this trip again especially with people like Brad!
We visited the Center 20 years ago with our son. We wanted to go back by ourselves to enjoy the beauty and the story of the Polynesian islands. I’m so happy we did! We did the Super Ambassador option for the individual experience. Kamryn our tour guide led us through all six islands at a pace fitting for us. Giving us a first class insight of the language, the beauty and the people. Our experience was absolutely amazing! We won’t wait another 20 years before we go back. It could be before the end of our vacation. Mahaoo!
My tour guide was Jeran.He was very helpful and attentive to my parties needs. Very informative and knowledgeable about the different countries.
Everything was great. We were well attended to.
Everything was beyond expectations! The only thing I regretted was not being able to see all six islands…would have preferred that over ukulele lessons or seeing various houses/huts.
From the moment we arrived for the Super Ambassador Package at the Polynesian Cultural Center, the entire experience was unforgettable. If you want to experience the rich heritage of Polynesia with personal depth, seamless logistics, and genuine care, this is hands-down the premier way to do it. A massive highlight of our day was our private guide, Jeran, who is originally from the island of Tonga. Jeran was truly exceptional. His deep cultural knowledge, humor, and natural storytelling brought every village presentation to life. He navigated our schedule effortlessly, secured prime reserved front-row seating across the grounds, and shared authentic personal perspectives on Pacific Islander traditions that made every stop meaningful. His pride in his heritage and sincere warmth made us feel like honored family guests rather than just visitors. The evening dining experience matched that exceptional standard. Our server, Nomi, originally from the Philippines, provided phenomenal hospitality. She greeted us with genuine warmth and delivered attentive, seamless service throughout the entire meal. Her thoughtful care made dinner feel relaxing and celebratory before we headed over to the evening amphitheater. The exclusive backstage tour was equally memorable thanks to Nami, who is originally from Tahiti. Nami was fantastic—she gave us fascinating, behind-the-scenes insights into the production, performers, and day-to-day artistry behind the evening show. Her vibrant energy, warmth, and insider knowledge elevated the entire tour and gave us a whole new level of appreciation for the work that goes into the performances. Finishing the night with front-row seats at Hā: Breath of Life cemented this day as a major highlight of our Oahu trip. Jeran, Nami, and Nomi each demonstrated extraordinary dedication, professionalism, and heartfelt aloha. If you are considering the Super Ambassador Package, do not hesitate—it is worth every single penny.
An excellent experience from beginning to end. Our tour guide was amazing and the Breath of Life show is a must. The flame throwers were out of this world. We highly recommend this experience.
Great guide and wonderful show
Our tour guide was Te she was fabulous..very knowledgeable and fun to be with. She got what we needed and ask us multiple if we needed anything . She was a very sweet young lady. She made sure we got where we need to be . She is a super tour guide. She made sure we got the whole experience. Price was not bad for what we got. She made sure we had photos all day .. Paul and Coleen Brooks
Naomi our server at the luau was awesome
It is so lovely, so interesting, so delightful, and the people in the park are so warm—we enjoyed every single minute to the fullest.
This experience was my favorite out of all the things we did on our 7 day cruise. Our guide (Echo) was amazing, friendly and most of all a key part of our whole experience. I highly recommend the Super Ambassador upgrade. It’s expected but worth every penny.
This is the best tour on the island, and it is the most authentic lu’au in Hawai’i. The shows are authentic, the staff is amazing and villages are beautiful. Kya (Aotearoa) was our guide. She did a great job helping us feel welcome, guiding us through the villages, and answering questions. She gave us more than we paid for! The Lu’au was beautiful, and Aaron (Philippines) was a very attentive server. Thank you for making our visit a memorable experience.
This was an amazing experience! While im not part of polynesian culture I love learning about it! Great job to EVERY PERSON INVOLVED!!!
Chan as our guide tour was the best and Caylin as our server pleasant, kind and lovely if I was to come back I would want those to again every time, thank you and God bless them both
We had a fantastic day. Our tour guide, with us all afternoon, Kya from NZ, was so helpful and easy going. She took us to all the shows, making sure that we received the super ambassador status, gave us all the tips for finishing our night. She was amazing. And the luau and Ha: The Breathe of Life show were outstanding. 10X better than I was expecting. Yes, you pay more for the Super Ambassador tickets, but PCC makes sure you feel taken care of and get your money's worth. Would do it again.
It was an amazing experience. I took my children with me and we were led by Lou. Who did a wonderful job at directing us through the center and enlightening us on the history. Kyle was our server and he did great. Overall this is an amazing place and I recommend everyone come here.
Never fails to be anything but extraordinary!!
Amazing time , Jace was the best guide Aaron was and excellent server Highly recommend the Ambassador package
Everything from the tour to the experiences and the Luau and the food was great! Mucho aloha to all the staff at the Polynesian cultural center and their welcoming mannerisms.
Great time. Full day of activities
Nio, our guide at Polynesian Cultural Center, greeted us and was friendly humorous, and knowledgeable. In the Super Ambassador ticket, Nio seamlessly led us through the villages. He arranged our front-row seating at the performances. The whole day in the Polynesian villages, dinner, and show was a highlight of Oahu. We were thankful to Kyle, our server, who took care of us well, too.
Our family of 4 had a great experience. Our guide, Anne, was so helpful and knowledgeable. She made sure we went to as many of the shows and activities as possible. She was continuously checking that we were enjoying ourselves and verifying the next attraction was what we wanted to do.
Excellent as always! Our favorite thing to do in Hawaii
JB was such and amazing tour guide. He got us amazing seats for every show and Andrie was such a great server. I love that this place supports the students too.
The whole experience was beyond words. I couldn't have asked for a more incredible day for my birthday then to spend it with my family at the PCC. Being from California, the PCC most definitely exceeded my expections and more. Thank you PCC for a beautiful day!
Very enriching and meaningful
