FAQ
**Prices are subject to change without prior notice.
Village of Samoa
Visit the Samoan village for a light-hearted take on some of the island's interesting cultural aspects. Learn to start a fire with sticks, properly crack open a coconut and try your hand at weaving. Watch live demonstrations with barefoot tree climbing and sample some local food cooked on the spot.
Village of Aotearoa
Learn about the Maori of New Zealand and uncover the history of their complex tattooing—you can even get (a temporary) one yourself. Pick up some traditional games and practice your poi ball twirling skills for a fun way to experience the island's culture. Don't miss the exciting haka demonstration.
Village of Tonga

The Fijian village is a storehouse of artifacts; some fascinating—like religious implements and old photographs—and some terrifying—like war clubs and other military equipment. Don't miss the chance to pass through a Fijian temple.
Village of Tahiti
Tahiti is an island filled with music and dance. This village offers new perspectives on the rhythmic movements and colorful costumes that have made Tahiti a famous destination in the Pacific.

Beyond the island villages, daily canoe pageants down the canal show off each island's unique dances and costumes, group talks are held to share information about the Iosepa—a traditionally constructed sailing canoe—and food and craft demonstrations add an extra something special to the day.
