At the Polynesian Cultural Center, you may immerse yourself in the culture of Polynesia’s 1,000+ Pacific islands. Watch as islanders perform a battle dance and wield “fire knives,” among other things. Do you need to unwind? Take a canoe trip in the afternoon or see an engaging Hawaii IMAXTM film. Stroll through an original complex of replicated villages from Aotearoa (New Zealand), ancient Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga at the 42-acre Polynesian Cultural Center. Hands-on activities and demonstrations of cultural wonders, such as fire dancing, climbing 50-foot trees in bare feet, spear-throwing, coconut-husking, and the Haka warrior dance, are available at each stop. Enjoy regional gastronomic delicacies such as Tahitian coconut bread or poi, a traditional Hawaiian dish prepared from taro. Explore diverse island customs like lei-crafting or try your hand at drumming and producing Fijian music. Your Polynesian Cultural Center pass includes public entry to the villages and the Rainbows of Paradise canoe pageant, Hawaii’s only water-borne spectacle. At the Hawaiian Village’s exciting exhibit, Iosepa: Voyage of Discovery, you’ll learn about Polynesian voyaging and witness a fully functional 57-foot double-hulled canoe. Expand your horizons at this cultural institution by living for a day as a Polynesian!
