Polynesian Cultural Center - Super Ambassador Package
The Park Find out why the Polynesian Cultural Center is one of Oahu's favorite visitor attractions. This amazing park is spread out over 42 acres and features the richness of the Polynesian culture. Among the main attractions are the seven Polynesian villages that show the traditional island life of Tonga, Tahiti, the Marquesas, Fiji, New Zealand (Aotearoa), Samoa and Hawaii. As you explore the park, you'll learn more about the traditions, lifestyles, music, dance and hospitality of Polynesia.
You'll see native islanders carving tiki statues, dancing with fire knives, making fire by rubbing sticks together and climbing up four-story palm trees barefooted. Take your time visiting all the villages or hop aboard a canoe for a leisurely ride down the river that runs through the Center.
But there's so much more to see and explore:
The Pageant of Long Canoes Mid-afternoon marks the beginning of the fantastic Pageant of the Long Canoes, where you'll see Polynesian dancers showcase their native costumes and dances on big floating platforms in the park's central lagoon.
The IMAX Movie You might also want to check out the park's state-of-the-art IMAX Theater to watch the spectacular Coral Reef Adventure movie, shown on a gigantic screen measuring 65 feet high (19.8 m) and 93 feet wide (28.4 m). The movie features the real-life expeditions of renowned underwater filmmakers Howard and Michele Hall in Fiji, Tahiti, Australia's Great Barrier Reef and 200 miles east in the coral atoll lagoon of Rangiroa, French Polynesia. The movie will immerse you in another world. You'll dive with the Hall's to mysterious deep reefs, swim with grey reef sharks, zoom through coral canyons and ride a fast current beneath a breaking wave.
Tram Tour of La'ie While touring the park, you can also venture out into the neighboring town of La'ie, the home of the first temple built outside of the mainland United States by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This "Taj Mahal of the Pacific" is striking in its architecture and was dedicated in 1919 to serve Mormons throughout the Pacific.
You can take a free tram ride from the Center that runs every 20 minutes from 1:00 to 6:40 p.m. During the ride, you'll learn about the history and the people of La'ie. At the temple, you can enjoy a stroll in the beautiful gardens and check out the Visitor Center, which features a 10-feet marble replica of Thorvaldsen's well-know statue "Christus." |
The Luau After a long day of exploring the Center, you'll be hungry and ready for participating in a luau - one of the most Hawaiian experiences you can have. The Polynesian Cultural Center is home of Hawaii's most authentic luau, a traditional Hawaiian-style feast with entertainment. The Ali'i Luau begins at 5:30 p.m. at a secluded site with a tropical 15-foot tall waterfall.
As you enter, you'll be greeted with a flower lei. Later, you'll witness the traditional imu ceremony, in which the roast "kalua" pig is raised from an underground oven. Then the Ali'i Court arrives, complete with the fanfare from conch shell trumpets. These performers will entertain you as you dig into a feast that's guaranteed to satisfy any appetite.
The luau buffet table is set with all kinds of delicacies, from typical Hawaiian foods, such as kalua pig, lomi lomi salmon, haupia (coconut pudding) and poi, to standard American dishes, such as rice, chicken and vegetables.
The Show After the luau feast, a very special treat is awaiting you. You'll get to see the fabulous Horizons Polynesian Revue, one of the largest Polynesian shows in the world featuring a cast of more than 100 native performers from all over the Pacific. They will perform the songs, dances and showcase their costumes that make their cultures unique. The rhythmic melodies and the beating of the drums will touch your heart and the breathtaking Samoan fire-knife dance will captivate you and take you back in time. |

Directions |

The Polynesian Cultural Center is located in La'ie, on Oahu's northeastern coast. It's just a 35-mile scenic drive from Waikiki. Along the way, you can enjoy plenty of picturesque views as the road winds through the rainforest and along gorgeous beaches. The Center is located at 55-370 Kamehameha Highway in La'ie.
From Waikiki, take the H-1 freeway west until reaching the Likelike Highway (63). Exit H-1 onto the Likelike Highway (toward the mountains) and stay on the Likelike until passing through the tunnel and emerging on the windward (eastern) side of the island. Exit Likelike and take Kahekili Highway (83) north until arriving in La'ie (Hint: the Kahekili Highway becomes the Kamehameha Highway after Kaneohe).
You'll see the Polynesian Cultural Center on your left (toward the mountains) after arriving in La'ie. It is located next to Brigham Young University and the Hawaiian Temple. On the way to La'ie, you'll pass interesting sights, such as Kualoa Ranch and Chinaman's Hat, a small offshore island.
Parking is $5 per vehicle. |
