Thank you Joseph!!! - It is a long day to visit but ever interesting. My husband has trouble walking long distances but there were several opportunities to sit and rest at the special demonstrations. We loved our guide, Joseph. He was very entertaining and knowledgeable. Ask for him if you visit!!! The dinner and show was very good.

Amazing Performances Throughout & Worth the Cost - Awesome time and well worth the cost. The pass gives you 3 days of admission and there’s so much to see and do for each of the 7 Polynesian Islands represented you won’t have enough time on one day. The buffet was great and there’s plenty of options even for a picky eater. Plus they have a secure phone charging station in the buffet restaurant. Which after visiting the. 7 Islands represented you’ll need a good charge. The HA: Breath of Life show was amazing and I loved the ending. Granted it makes for a long day but it’s well worth the experience plus the show keeps you engaged. The dancers were so beautiful. And kudos to the young Mana … he stole the show !! Keep up the passion in life and in your performances - you’re doing great ( I hope he sees this). My ticket entry was on the Portal 5 side of the theater. So I was sitting to the far left of the stage and I still had a good view which I was concerned about since I wasn’t center stage. But there really isn’t a “bad seat” or view. Definitely would come back again :)

A definite must see attraction on Oahu - From the moment you enter PCC you are surrounded by the aloha of all students of BYU . From our fantastic guide Ivan to all including waiters at luau, shop assistants not to mention performers at Ha Breath of Life show each one was amazing. Did the day tour then luau and the evening show. Everything was superb and everyone so nice and friendly. For the price it’s worth every penny. My 6 year old granddaughter also loves it. Not my first time to PCC have been on every visit and will continue when visit again. Definitely recommend, there’s no other attraction to beat it

Wonderful day out - It was a great day out. Although there wasn't enough time to see everything so make sure you get there right on opening. Bring you water as all that walking makes you thirsty. Make sure you booked the buffet dinner after and the amazing show at the end of the day. It was the real highlight of our stay in Honolulu

A+ Experience at the Polynesian Cultural Center - We did the group tour, dinner, and show. The guide was very knowledgeable, and all the presenters at the exhibits were excellent. The dinner was delicious and the show was Disney-level quality.

An Amazing Experience!!! - The PCC was a blast. My wife and I were invited. We really didn't know what to expect as it was our first time. As soon as it starts you're met with nothing but positive energy. The whole staff was amazing. They make you feel like family. The Luau and show after is a must! A little expensive for all but WELL WORTHED. I recommend the tour guide option. You dont have to but the place is so big you get the most out of it this way. Our tour guide, GAFA was fun and informative. A very considerate person who made our time an amazing experience.

part of Hawaii - We have been here several times and always enjoy it. We have never felt that an enhanced personal guide / group option was for us. Great show and enjoyable buffet. MIght get pricey if one has a large family.

Great Venue - Interesting venue. I took the Breath of Life package, which includes a four hour tour of the facilities, a buffet dinner and a show at 7:30pm. It makes for an 11 hour day, including to bus trip to get out there. Our group tour guide Brad was pretty good - young and enthusiastic. If you book directly from their website, you get a 10% discount for booking in advance.

Don’t do it - I visited this attraction in 1972 and again in 2025. The 1972 visit was a much better experience. At that time the visit was much more intimate. The villages showed cooking, living environment, local Hulu,etc. Now the villages show some history which is all repeated in the very long and boring show. The dinner was nothing special. Don’t waste your time or money let along being bothered by the members of the Mormon church.
