Immerse yourself in a full-day of island culture and adventure with a visit to the award-winning Polynesian Cultural Center for dinner and a Polynesian show. Begin your cultural adventure at the pier where you will board an air-conditioned motorcoach. Then sit back and take in the wonders of this lush tropical island paradise on a ninety-minute drive along Oahu's windward coast as well as Hawaii's famous North Shore renowned for its legendary beaches.
Your final destination is the Polynesian Cultural Center, named the visitor's favorite by the People's Choice Awards. Located near the village of Laie and founded by Mormon missionaries in 1864, the center preserves the cultures and customs of old Polynesia, from Hawaii to Tonga and Samoa.
Upon your arrival to the 42-acre center, Polynesian villagers (students from nearby Laie campus of the Brigham Young University) will greet you. As you stroll the center on a self-guided tour, you'll find six different authentic island settings with dozens of fun-filled and informative demonstrations such as Tongan drumming, coconut tree climbing and traditional dances of Fiji, Hawaii, Aotearoa, Samoa, Tahiti and Tonga.
Then prepare to indulge in an authenic Polynesian dinner buffet featuring the distinct flavors of the Pacific Rim. The buffet meal is bountiful and includes options such as a salad bar, a poke bar, Kalua pork, crispy garlic shrimp, panko-crusted fish, sweet and sour chicken, side dishes and desserts. Feast like royalty in the expansive dining hall decorated with a larger-than-life, 360-degree mural and entertained by live music.
As the sun goes down and your meal comes to an end, join the Center's other guests for the evening spectacular night show - HA: Breath of LIfe. With a cast of over 100 performers, this is the largest Polynesian revue of song and dance in the world. Dressed in native attire, performers from all corners of the Pacific share their history, traditions and spirit in the same way their ancestors did. Fire knife champions and firewalkers add dramatic flair to an amazing, educational and absolutely unforgettable day of culture and adventure!
