Why do travelers choose this tour?

The Polynesian Cultural Center stands as a top attraction in Hawaii, and it is often compared to Epcot Center at Walt Disney World. Just as Epcot allows visitors to explore various countries, here you will experience the cuisine and performances of many Polynesian island nations for a similar immersive experience.

Guests dining at the Gateway Buffet will experience firsthand the exceptional quality of the Polynesian Cultural Center's dining. Renowned for its excellence, this buffet is not only a highlight of the Center but also one of Oahu's finest dining choices. With over 30 diverse dishes representing Pacific and international cuisine, it offers the most extensive array of food among all buffets in Hawaii.

Every visitor to Oahu should experience the “HĀ: Breath of Life” evening show package, featuring a 90-minute, Broadway-level performance with music, song, and dance from across Polynesia. This spectacular show is set on a massive open-air stage with incredible special effects and hundreds of performers. It's no surprise that it has won numerous awards for excellence in performance and for celebrating Polynesian culture.

This family-friendly experience is perfect for all ages, offering something for everyone. Children, teens, and adults alike will enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the Hukilau Marketplace, the diverse selection at the Gateway Buffet, and the captivating HĀ: Breath of Life show, making it a memorable outing for the whole family.
