Polynesian Cultural Center

The Polynesian Cultural Center is located on the scenic North Shore of Oʻahu and is open Monday through Saturday from noon to 9pm.

At the six island villages, the interactive activities let visitors test their skill and courage, plus they can experience the “Hawaiian Journey” big screen cinematic movie. Watch the new show, HUKI: A Canoe Celebration, performed daily on a beautiful lagoon, and finally catch the critically-acclaimed “HA: Breath of Life” evening show spectacular.

Don’t forget to drop by the Hukilau Marketplace, a unique shopping, dining and entertainment destination. The Center is Hawaii’s top-paid visitor attraction and employs more than 1,200 people from 70 countries and nearly every state.
