Polynesian Cultural Center Tours and Tickets
Although never a recognized country, Polynesia was once considered the largest nation on Earth, with the island nations in the Polynesian Triangle all tracing their roots to the same ancestral homeland and connected by language and lore. You can experience many of these cultures at the famous Polynesian Cultural Center, set on the North Shore of Oahu. Explore some of the eight island village exhibitions; discover Maori facial tattoos, experience the “ha,” or breath of life, and how it helps connect all cultures across the Polynesian chain; enjoy a canoe tour; and stay for an evening luau.

Sandra_B, Jul 2023
Great experience
The whole experience was great. All locations were great. Not enough time to really experience the Polynesian Cultural Center, would suggest making that an individual all day visit. My tour guide was awesome.
