Description

Spend the day exploring the rich heritage of the Pacific Islands. Wander through their 42 acres of tropical splendor and enjoy the adventure of traditional hands-on activities. Dine like royalty at an authentic Polynesian luau and top it off with the most spectacular evening show on the islands.

Discover the Polynesian culture and tropical splendor with tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Choose from a variety of popular packages and see why the Polynesian Cultural Center is Hawaii's #1 attraction.

Learn firsthand from the native peoples of each island with interactive demonstrations that teach you the games, fun, and friendship of Polynesia. Travel through time and space as you experience thousands of years' worth of culture from six different island nations, each with its own flavor and appeal:

  • Island of Hawaii: Play ancient games, dance with grace, learn how to fish without a net, and sample poi (come on, we dare you!) Live the spirit of aloha in Hawaii
  • Island of Aotearoa: Learn the significance of Maori tattoos, test your dexterity by playing with twirling poi balls, and watch the Maori warrior dance known as, “the Haka.”
  • Island of Fiji: Feel the beat, honor the chief, gaze upon a Fijian skyscraper, and learn why their warriors are mighty and feared. Find your strength in Fiji.
  • Island of Samoa: Feel the heat, show some muscle, enjoy Samoan song and dance, and marvel as a young warrior climbs a 40-foot coconut tree in his bare feet. Become a part of the "happy people" in the Samoan village.
  • Island of Tahiti: Swing your hips, try a bite, snag a fish, and share the love. In Tahiti, love is always in the air. Come catch the fever!
  • Island of Tonga: Toss a spear, laugh until your sides hurt, choose your favorite 'guest' drummer, and paddle a canoe. The Tongan village is filled with joy, and they're happy to share!


See for yourself why the Polynesian Cultural Center's Alii Luau has justifiably inherited the deeper meanings of Hawaiian hospitality and the joy inherent in this ancient feast, and add this unforgettable experience to your Hawaiian vacation.

Please note that because the Polynesian Cultural Center is a family attraction that is closely associated with and predominantly an employer of college students, alcohol is not served or allowed to be consumed anywhere on the premises.
