Polynesian Cultural Center at a Glance

A must-do for every visitor on Oahu is a trip to the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie, a small town Oahu’s windward side. Here you can learn everything about the history, culture and lifestyle of different regions of the South Pacific.

After you strolled through the seven Polynesian villages you are invited to join a feast of Hawaiian and continental delicacies at the luau. After being greeted with a fragrant lei you are escorted to your table. Shortly after the drums begin and the luau has its dramatic opening with the “imu ceremony.” A whole roast pig is taken out of its underground oven and is carried away to become a part of the luau buffet accompanied by traditional chanting and drumming.

On the all-you-can-eat buffet you’ll find Hawaiian classics, such as lomi lomi salmon, poke, poi, huli huli chicken, fresh fish, purple sweet potatoes and of course, the kalua pig. There are also some all American favorites as well to satisfy every appetite. Don’t miss the dessert! The pies and puddings are delicious! All beverages at the Polynesian Cultural Center luau are non-alcoholic. Even the cocktails.

During and after your buffet dinner you will be entertained by Hawaiian music and dances. The absolute highlight of the evening is the “Horizons” night show. You will be amazed by the energy, the colors, costumes, rhythms and amazing dances of this unmatched Polynesian extravaganza that will take you on a journey through all of Polynesia.
