This is one of the top tourist attractions in Hawaii and is definitely worth the drive out to the center. Sign up for a guided tour for a little extra money or walk around on your own from village to village to see all of the demonstrations about authentic Polynesian culture/life. They offer instruction and demonstrations that are entertaining and fun about the food, games, dance, and way of life for different Polynesian cultures/islands. They have multiple things to interest everyone -- a movie theatre you can watch a featured film at, go on a canoe ride through the center’s villages, a lot of little shops for authentic souvenirs, yummy food from various restaurants and snack shops and one of the top rated luaus around. Make sure you catch the canoe parade- sit where the canal intersects so you can watch the dancers on the water a little longer. The show at night can’t be beat – they have the best dancing/entertainment around. Make sure you get to the Samoa show – it’s hilarious.
