Backstage at Ha Breath of Life at PCC
To book your Hawaii vacation packages to Maui, Lana'i or any other of the Hawaiian Islands, visit or call 877-918-8941.
The Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC) is a Polynesian-themed theme park or living museum located in Laie, on the northern shore of Oahu, Hawaii. Within eight simulated tropical villages, performers demonstrate various arts and crafts from throughout Polynesia
Seventy percent of the center's approximately 1,300 employees are students at BYU-Hawaii.[1] Although it is largely a commercial venture, PCC profits fund various scholarship programs at BYU--Hawaii. Students may work up to 20 hours per week during school terms and 40 hours during breaks.
The center was opened in 1963 as a way to provide employment and scholarships for students at BYU-Hawaii and to preserve the cultures of Polynesia. It has its roots in 1940s and 1950s hukilau and luau beach gatherings to earn money to rebuild a local chapel belonging to the LDS Church, which had been destroyed in a fire. The Hukilau Song, made famous by Alfred Apaka, was written following the composer and song's original singer, Jack Owens's visit to Lāʻie's hukilau.
The PCC is one of the most frequently visited tourist destinations in Hawaii. The PCC is the venue for the annual World Fire Knife Dance Competition, in which contestants display their skill with blazing swords. Since opening its doors in 1963, over 32 million people have visited the center.
Each of the major Polynesian cultures has its own section, centered on a traditional village. Hourly performances and cultural learning experiences take place in these villages.
Villages include:
Hawaii
Samoa
Aotearoa (present-day New Zealand)
Fiji
Tahiti
Tonga
the Marquesas Islands
In addition to the villages, the PCC has a special exhibit dedicated to Rapa Nui (Easter Island or Isla de Pascua) and a tribute to the 1850s LDS mission.
Visitors may participate in a luʻau,[3] such as the Aliʻi Luʻau (Royal Feast), which offers traditional Polynesian fare, including pork cooked in an imu (an underground oven). They can observe the roasted pig in the imu prior to the meal.

The Polynesian Cultural Center Video Tour #PolynesianCulturalCenter #Hawaii
Join Tigger as he shares his day at the Polynesian Cultural Center on the east shore of Ohau, Hawaii.
The Polynesian Cultural Center was built to preserve and raise awareness for the diverse cultures and customs seen throughout the Islands of the South Pacific. Each Island Nation represents a unique group of people with their own beliefs and traditions all passed down from generation to generation for centuries. Although things may change through the years they still hold on to the values that helped to build the cultures as they are today.
At the Polynesian Cultural Center guests will experience the art, the games, the music and dance in seven different villages that each represent a unique island Nation. Walk through the village buildings that were built with painstaking detail to acurately portray how the natives lived without western influence centuries before Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue. See how they raised their families and thier communities through times of war and peace and survive even to the modern day.
Children can play the games that taught agility and developed strength in the young to help them survive what could be difficult times in the life of a native islander. Hear the drums used to communicate through the jungles and from island to island. Learn the dances that tell stories of ancestors long gone but celebrated and not forgotten.
Tigger enjoyed one of his favorite days on the Super Ambassador package available at the Polynesian Cultural Center. There are several packages available to choose from but this one includes:

This covers our one-day trip to Polynesian Cultural Center in Oahu, Hawaii. We join the Ambassador-Group, so the guide help us to arrange visits to each village and show, including the Canoe Tours, so we did not waste the time.
See new Polynesian Cultural Center show, Huki!
The Polynesian Cultural Center is inviting guests to experience the allure and adventure of ocean life through its newest water show, Huki, which made its debut on August 18.
The canoe celebration, staged at the state’s only water performance venue, explores Polynesian myths and customs, inspiring ancient history, and beloved island songs.
Huki replaces the previous afternoon canoe pageant, Rainbows of Paradise, that had entertained residents and visitors for the past 16 years.
“We are excited to share with our guests, a brand-new canoe celebration at the Polynesian Cultural Center,” said Alfred Grace, CEO and president of the Polynesian Cultural Center. “Our team has been working tirelessly to ensure that Huki’s story authentically captures the unique history and folklore of Polynesia and that our facilities are renovated and reinvigorated to ensure that the experience is elevated for all of our guests.”
