A good place to spend half a day with your family and kids while vacationing. There are variety of Polynesian cultural shows and activities along the tour paths that help gaining understanding about history and cultures of the Polynesian and islanders. The dinner buffet in the evening will feed you with some Hawaiian foods and exotic fruits. Overall, this PCC experience is worth the ticket price for the first time. Not so much for the second time.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? This place is an amazing location to learn about polynesian traditions and culture. The luau, at the end of the day, is a fantastic way to finish your experience. I can't recommend it enough.

Not overly crowded, so it's ready to participate in any activities you want to do. They have about 5 hands on activities per village, and performances every 20-30 minutes in each village so it's easy to get a taste of all of them without planning out the day too hard. All the workers do a great job of showing their culture. If I could offer 1 suggestion it would be to put fans or ac in the bathroom, it felt kinda hot and sticky.

We didn't get to experience the Cultural Center during the day, but we did the Lunar Legends kayak/ paddleboard tour which was great! Our guide was fantastic, though I cannot remember his name because it was 35 letters long and he told us to call him Cousin (he's in our pictures)! But his dad is the famous Kap, and their last name is Tefiti! Anyway, the tour was so much fun. The weather was perfect and the water temp was so nice. I definitely recommend this tour, but also make sure to check out the Cultural Center too!!

Pay the extra for the super ambassador package! It's worth it! Our personal guide Nischa was amazing. She was so sweet and knowledgeable.

Absolutely magical place! My son and I enjoyed immersing ourselves in the beautiful cultures of the Island that were represented here. The buffet was dope, beautiful, and plentiful. The staff were so nice and welcoming. Thank you Aunties and Uncles for this amazing experience 10 out of 10 would highly recommend it.

Do not go there! This place is a ripoff run by Mormons. All staff working there only work there to pay off their tuition at a Mormon university nearby. All staff act like zombies, they approached us like every couple minutes even if we were just standing minding our own business. This place does not provide an authentic Polynesian experience and absolutely not worth your money. We left 1 hour after we arrived because it felt so fake.

Great place to go and absolutely worth a full ticket (including the buffet and the show in the night)! Highly recommended if you are interested in the music, dance, cooking and lifestyle of Polynesians. This place has great facitilities, commercial and staffs. They have 7 islands and corresponding staffs doing 1-3 different shows at every places every half an hour. Most of the time will be spent on the shows, and they are pretty fun! The bus driver is also very nice that talked for almost 2 hours about the favorite breakfasts, hospitals and coffee shops of the island. Buffet is also quite solid. The show at the night is really great. Although cannot understand the cultures of each tribes mentioned in the show, but you can still get the things they want to represent from it. Again, highly recommended to purchase the full experiences!

I went here on my honeymoon with my wife and it was a very cool experience. Seeing the different cultures and presentations was very exciting and informative and has the potential to keep you entertained for hours. That being said, our favorite part of the experience was definitely the luau and the Há: Breath of Life show. The food at the luau was phenomenal. The only knock against them is the many many emails they send insisting you show up right when they open at noon to experience everything. While you could spend those 5 hours full of activities, it is highly unlikely you will enjoy everything equally and have enough to fill all 5 hours. My wife and I got there between 2:30-3pm and by the time the luau started at 5pm we were ready to leave the island exhibits and go to the luau. If you do the luau and the Breath of life show you will not leave the center until about 9pm. Also an interesting tidbit that isn’t widely advertised but becomes pretty clear when you get there is that the center is owned and operated by the Mormon Church. They had Mormon missionaries at the main entrance to the islands. All the staff, volunteers, and performers were extremely friendly and accommodating. The gift shops were very expensive. All that being said, highly recommend making the trek from Honolulu if you aren’t staying on the North Shore.

Super cool and educational place, but it felt like being at a Disney park. As a first-time Oahu tourist, I was looking to going to this place to learn more about the different islands and to see the history and the traditional way of each islands and although I felt like I did, I felt like it was more of in a Disney park kind of way. One tip I would give is to plan ahead. Not only with buying your tickets and packages online but also with what you want to see in each island area when you get there. Each island area has multiple shows shows at different times, so if you want to learn Tahiti dance, know at what time it is so you can be there for that. We thought we could just hop from island area to island area, and the shows would "replay," but that wasn't the case. Some shows only happen once, so if you miss it, oh well. Also, when booking your package carefully, read the food offerings. Some packages have the buffet, which we thought was a luau but wasn't, so don't make the same mistake we did. The buffet was good, by the way, so nothing bad there. Try the shrimp, so good! Lastly, the entire place was meticulously clean and very nicely upkept, very pleasantly surprised there.
