Polynesian Cultural Center - All Day Packages
Visit the Polynesian Cultural Center, a huge open air cultural park that is often called a "living museum." This is more than just a luau. It is an all-day adventure with fun activities and things to do for the entire family. There are 7 Polynesian villages, and each one of them offers cultural demonstrations, shows and hands-on activities, such as arts & crafts, hula and ukulele lessons, Polynesian tattooing and more! A river runs through the scenic park and canoe rides are being offered. Then there is an IMAX theater and a Canoe Pageant that takes place every day at 2:30 pm, where Polynesian dancers perform on floating platforms.
After an afternoon of exploring the park and learning about the different Polynesian island cultures (which include Hawaii, Tahiti, Tonga, Samoa, the Marquesas, Aotearoa and Fiji), the Center invites you to experience their award-winning Ali'i Luau, featuring a wide variety of island delicacies. Alternatively, you can also choose the prime rib buffet dinner, which takes place at their grand dining hall (instead of on the luau grounds). After dinner, walk over to the Center’s large open air theater to watch the spectacular Ha: Breath of Life evening show. The cast consists of over 100 members, making it Oahu’s largest evening show.
