Your Polynesian Cultural Center Visit
Polynesian Cultural Center is a 42-acre open-air park in Laie on Oahu's northeast shore. The day moves through six island villages, where Samoa, Fiji, Tahiti, Tonga, Aotearoa and Hawaii each share music, dance, games, crafts and cultural demonstrations.
During the afternoon, you can walk between villages, watch canoe presentations, see demonstrations, take a canoe ride through the park and learn about life across Polynesia. Dining depends on the package, with options such as Gateway Buffet or Alii Luau. The park does not sell or permit alcoholic drinks.
The evening centers on Ha: Breath of Life, a large Polynesian stage show with music, dance, fire and performers from across the Pacific. Choose by package level, dinner preference, transportation needs and how much of the park you want included in your Laie visit.
