Polynesian Cultural Center Shows, Luaus & Villages

While people from all over the world know the word ‘aloha’ and feel the warm embrace of the word, few are aware of the extensive history of the Hawaiian people, an origin story that crosses oceans and numerous foreign islands. Though it dominates Oceania, Polynesian culture is underrepresented in much of the world which is one reason the Polynesian Cultural Center has worked so diligently to represent these island nations through cultural experiences. The activity center started out in 1962 as a hukilau (a traditional fishing festival) that included a luau feast and entertainment. It has since expanded to offer many activities, experiences, and places to eat and shop.

An Introduction To The Polynesian Cultural Center

For over 50 years the center has been continually expanding into today’s 52-acre park packed with activities for the whole family. Within the grounds sit six authentic and traditional Pacific Island villages staffed by Polynesians from the islands represented. Each village has demonstrations and activities that let visitors immerse themselves and participate in these sister-cultures. Play traditional ancient games, hop on a canoe ride, or capture demonstrations of the ancient skills, dance, and chants of these island cultures.

PCC also features a vast lagoon where the famous “Parade of Canoes” show has enchanted crowds for years. Couple this with an award-winning buffet-style luau, multiple theaters, restaurants, and shops, and you have a world-class destination not to be missed!

Polynesian Cultural Center Fun Facts

The Polynesian Cultural Center hosts almost 800,000 visitors each year.
Polynesians & Hawaiians
Hawaiians are actually a mixed-race of Polynesians. It is believed they arrived in two waves – the first starting around 500 A.D. from the Marquesas Island and the second around 1200 A.D. from the Tahitian and the Samoan Islands.
Elvis Presley
In 1966 Elvis Presley filmed a segment of his movie “Paradise Hawaiian Style” at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
Student Guides
Over 70% of the jobs at the park are performed by college students, many of whom are on scholarship from Polynesian islands across the Pacific. When you visit the Polynesian Cultural Center you are helping these students earn their degree at BYU-Hawaiʻi!
