Night Paddle - My husband, and two of our friends booked the paddle board tour around the PCC. We were there at 6:45 and and around 7PM, the guide came and met us. Mochi, I believe his name was, was super friendly and nice. Talked to everyone and was engaging. He talked briefly about the safety of paddling and kayaking. We were all excited and once on the boards or in Kayaks we were off. Mochi talked story and told visitors a few Hawaiian words and phrases. Everyone was smiling and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Over all the tour was fun, educational and we will be back! Worth every penny. :)

Family paddle boarding the PCC - We had a great time doing this. Uncle Lyons was funny and took some great pictures of my family for us so we had a way to remember it. We love hearing the deffrent legends from Hawaii. I would do this tour again with my family. We all really enjoyed it.

Great fun! Great people! - The kayak tour at the Polynesian Culture Center was one of the best activities we experienced while staying in Honolulu. My husband and I greatly appreciated the Mookie the tour guide and all the great people who helped with our float. I would definitely recommend it!

R - So fun. Our tour guys were amazing. One said it was his first time to lead the tour. He fell off his board which made me feel at ease in case I fell. lol. Highly recommend

Excellent but got stuck (no fault of venue) - Activity was excellent I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to do this. However if you are taxiing I would pre-book a return taxi as very difficult to get back to Wakiki without a vehicle.

Great experience - We absolutely loved our experience. We were late due to our plane turning around. Cousin worked with us and filled us in the 9 oclcok slot which was so nice. I’m so glad we didn’t miss it. If you know what Ohana means before you go he’ll give you extra points.

The only reason we didn't... - The only reason we didn't give 5 star is we didn't realize the center closed at 6 pm so we didn't have time to go inside and visit the center. The young man who was our guide for paddle boarding was very pleasant, full of information so we had a good time with his stories. We got there at 4 pm but you want to go much earlier to see the whole place, we thought it would be open on a weekend at least till 8.

Poor business practices and greedy company - Booked the activity for my wife and myself, company never gave us a time to be picked up, I canceled the activity, lunar legends sent me a message saying they would give me a full refund, then they renegade on the offer, I tried getting Expedia involved and lunar legends still refused to refund me my $207.00. Terrible company to deal with, so far I have notified over 2,000 associates and friends and family and have told them to spread the word of poor customer service from Lunar Legends. Over $200.00 I hope they go bankrupt, and my people keep spreading the word of there greedy business practices, I would give it 0 stars if ther was a place to put it.

Lame - The guide was cool but I’m more frustrated with the “kayak” experience. Should have said “float in a kiddie pool” I was looking forward to kayaking not playing with toddler toys. False advertising on your part
