Polynesian Cultural Center

The Polynesian Cultural Center spans 42 acres containing six Pacific Island villages where visitors learn about traditional customs through demonstrations and performances.

Established in 1963, the center began as an initiative by Brigham Young University Hawaii students to preserve and present Polynesian traditions to visitors.

The center features authentic representations of Hawaii, Tahiti, Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga through traditional architecture, crafts, music, and ceremonies.

Located on Oahu's north shore, the center welcomes visitors Monday through Saturday from noon until 9 PM with various dining packages and transportation options.

The evening production 'HA: Breath of Life' incorporates 100 performers presenting Pacific Island heritage through synchronized fire knife dancing and musical performances.
