Experience the incredible diversity of Polynesia - the people, their history and their culture - and you don’t even need a passport to do it!

Located an hour’s drive from Waikiki, the Polynesian Cultural Center, located on the North Shore of Oahu in Laie, is one of Hawaii’s most popular attractions with over 33 million visitors since the Center first opened in 1963. The Polynesian Cultural Center, or PCC, serves as a showcase for the many different peoples of the South Pacific while helping to preserve their native cultures.

Spend the day strolling about the Polynesian Cultural Center’s gorgeous 42-acre facility, visiting eight unique villages all reconstructed with incredible attention to detail. Discover the customs and traditions of Hawaii, Samoa, Tahiti, Fiji, Tonga, Aotearoa (Maori New Zealand), Rapa Nui (Easter Island), and the Marquesas! Learn about the history and people of these island nations through numerous exhibits and by taking part in authentic activities – traditional arts and crafts, ancient forms of recreation, food preparation, and even training methods used in warfare!

The Polynesian Cultural Center offers an array of hands-on activities - learn the best way to husk a coconut, see just how one goes about building an underground oven, and, believe it or not, try your hand at Fire Knife Dancing! (Alright, alright, you’ll be using practice “knives” that aren’t sharp or on fire, but it’s still lots of fun!)

That’s not all!

The Rainbows of Paradise canoe pageant, performed daily, is the only one of its kind in Hawaii, and features a colorful procession of canoes representing each of the eight island nations.

Watch the Coral Reef Adventure on Imax, then pig out at the Ali’i Luau, an all-you-can-eat buffet serving traditional Hawaiian cuisine as well as local favorites, then sit back, relax, and enjoy a fun-filled evening of live music and entertainment!

In the evening, don’t miss Horizons: Where The Sea Meets The Sky, an amazing show starring a talented cast of over 100 performers from all over the Pacific coming together in celebration of the rich cultural diversity and myriad traditions of Polynesia.

It’s easy to see why the Polynesian Cultural Center remains one of Hawaii’s top visitor attractions and an absolute must-see for anyone vacationing in the islands!
