Say "Talofa!" and watch as young men climb a 40-ft tall coconut tree in their bare feet, and then learn how to open the coconut by using just a small rock. Watch fire knife dancers, and see how to make fire the Samoan way without any matches.
Presentation times: 1PM, 2PM, 3PM, 4PM & 4:30PM
You will be greeted with "Kia ora!" before learning about and watching the famous Haka, a Maori war dance. Try your hand at twirling long poi balls and explore a carved Maori war canoe before watching artisans carve deadly looking weapons by hand.

"Aloha," is the iconic greeting of Hawaii, and here you will learn how to dance hula, and watch a performance too. See how poi is made by pounding boiled taro before having a taste, and then try your hand at ancient Hawaiian games, and arts & crafts.

This one-way canoe ride takes you to and from the Hawaiian village to the park entrance. The 5:00PM canoe ride is the last one-way ride of the day, and depending on which direction you are going, you may need to walk back to the entrance. This activity could be cancelled in the event of rain.
Take a short tram tour of the Laie area to see the community that created the Polynesian Cultural Center. See Brigham Young University, the town of Laie, and the Laie Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, located next to the Polynesian Cultural Center.
Before the show begins, enjoy free time before the night show begins. Have some dinner and get some last-minute shopping done at the Hukilau Marketplace! This marketplace located right outside the gates of PCC includes a variety of stores and stands featuring local crafts, souvenirs, and food.
Sit down for an evening show featuring over 100 talented performers and experience a tale that follows a young boy, as he embarks on a journey through the cultures of Polynesia. With special effects, music, and dance, witness his growth into a man and the traditions of the islands come to life.
