If you're looking for people with enough experience to handle your next gathering... will 5,000+ years do?
WE'VE BEEN GATHERING FOR MILLENIA
We are the Polynesians, our cultures are amongst the oldest in the world. Throughout our vast history, gatherings have held a special place in our hearts. From the Royal Luaus of Kings and Queens to the simplest village meetings, our guests have been feasting on Polynesian hospitality for thousands of years.
Now you can experience this same hospitality in an exquisite tropical setting - only at The Polynesian Cultural Center. Situated on the North Shore of the island of Oahu, "The Gathering Place", The Center is home to Polynesians from seven Pacific Islands - Tahiti, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Marquesas, Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Hawai'i.
We look forward to introducing you to our culture and to sharing our ALOHA with you.
SUPERB SERVICE FAR FROM THE MADDENING CROWD
The Polynesian Cultural Center is unlike any other meeting facility you've visited. Just an hour from Honolulu, its ambiance is a world apart. Our Team will work with you on every detail of your visit, including ground transportation from your hotel. Once here, your group members will be treated like VIPs, because to us, you are.
You can hold your meeting in the home of a Samoan chief, in the garden of our Alii Luau venue, or in our 2,775 seat Pacific Theater. For smaller groups, thatched-roof village houses provide welcome relief from sterile meeting rooms. And later you can enjoy a royal feast presided over by a Polynesian chief.
In your spare time, explore seven island villages and meet the real people of Polynesia.
A CEREMONY FOR EVERY CELEBRATION
Polynesians love ceremonies. They're part and parcel of our culture. And because we've been practicing them for so long, they look really impressive.
Imagine what a custom tailored ceremony could add to a special occasion, like the passing of the reigns of your new company from the outgoing president to the new.
Here you can do it Polynesian style, by throwing a flaming torch from one participant to the other, 50 feet across a stage - with the help of our Samoan warriors.
Or you may prefer the wero ceremony. During this Maori ritual, a warrior drops a leaf in front of an incoming visitor. If the new person picks it up, like your new president, peace is assured. If not, scatter!
The possibilities for a spectacle are practically unlimited. Just ask us. We love to show off!
ALL THE SPIRIT OF THE ISLANDS. ALL IN ONE PLACE
The Polynesian Cultural Center is Hawaii's #1 Paid Visitor Attraction. No where else can you meet Polynesians, learn about our fascinating culture and have so much fun.
each island presents live performances, repeated throughout the afternoon, so scheduling your group events is easy. And you get to participate in the activities. You can pound drums in Tonga, husk coconuts in Samoa and dance Tahitian tamure. There is something exotic for visitors to do in every island village.
You also won't want to miss the Pageant of the Long Canoe, "Rainbows of Paradise". It takes place on our tropical lagoon. Or visit our IMAX™ Polynesian Theater, where you can see an IMAX movie on a movie screen 7-stories high.
Amazingly, all this takes place before the start of our most sensational performance of all.
THE WORLD'S MOST SPECTACULAR POLYNESIAN REVUE
If you see only one event in Hawai'i, this is it. Our world-famous evening show is considered a 'must see' event by the travel industry for every Hawai'i visitor.
Over 100 Polynesians will entertain you with centuries old dances and chants. There's a volcano tha erupts right on stage and a fire-knife performance that really sizzles. It alone will make your visit to the Center unforgettable.
Performances happen six nights a week. You'll enjoy our stadium style seating, or if your group is large enough, you can have the entire theater to yourself.
