Polynesian Cultural Center Gives in Depth Cultural Experience

One of the most popular destinations in Hawaii is the Polynesian Cultural Center on the North Shore. It had very humble beginnings, but is now considered the favorite paid attraction on Oahu. The Center gives an in depth cultural experience with Seven Polynesian Countries including Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Tahiti, Aetearoa, Marquesas, and the host islands of Hawaii.

There is something for everyone at this attraction. You can spend a whole afternoon and evening learning about the unique traditions of these Polynesian identities. Each Polynesian Culture has a village where you observe and participate. There are demonstrations by native Samoans, who show you how to start a fire by rubbing sticks together, cut a coconut in two with a rock, and climb a tall coconut tree.

In the Maori Village, you can twirl poi balls, play a stick game, or get a temporary tattoo. Observe Hawaiian quilting, learn basic hula steps in the Hawaiian village or improve your understanding about local root crops. Play on the huge log drums in the Fijian village.

Hawaii's Polynesian Cultural Center Most Favored Tourist Attraction

I live within walking distance of thePolynesian Cultural Center in Laie, Hawaii. Each day I hear the drums beating from the Polynesian villages, and in the evening I can hear the roar of the crowd in response to the night show in the big amphitheater.

It is an exciting, fun place to visit, even having gone there with family and other visitors several times. It is very beautiful with a lagoon and waterfalls, and there is always so much to see and do. It has become Hawaii's number one paid tourist attraction - and for good reason. You can see all of the Polynesian cultures in one place.
