Polynesian Cultural Center - All Day Packages
Unlike any other Oahu luau, a visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center is an all-day adventure with fun activities and things to do for the whole family. This huge open air park is often called a “living museum.” There are 7 Polynesian villages you can visit (which include Hawaii, Tahiti, Tonga, Samoa, the Marquesas, Aotearoa and Fiji), and each one of them has different shows, cultural presentations and hands-on activities. A river runs through the scenic park and canoe rides are being offered. At 2:30 pm there is a Canoe Pageant where dancers perform on floating platforms.
After an afternoon of exploring the park, experience the award-winning Ali'i Luau, featuring a wide variety of island delicacies or the Gateway Buffet Dinner. Dinner is followed by the spectacular Ha: Breath of Life evening show, featuring Oahu’s largest cast of performers.
