Polynesian Cultural Center of Hawaii

You may read in books, magazines or internet about the Polynesian culture but there is nothing better than seeing live, the lifestyles and ancient villages of Fiji, Tahiti, Samoa, New Zealand, Tonga, Marqueseas and Hawai'i being recreated. It's like a whole trip to Pacific Islands!

In lush tropical setting, you will see different kinds of entertainment like lilting chants, war dances, tree climbing, woodcarving and cooking over fire. You may also attend a luau or enjoy a live stage show with hundreds of performers in colorful costumes. They perform in a stage decorated with swaying palms and exploding volcanoes. IMAX theater shows are also available.

This 42 acre site is located on the North Shore of Oahu. It's open year round Mondays thru Saturdays from 9am to 6:30pm. Closed on Sundays and certain holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas day.
