The $3 million show will bring the performance into the audience and utilizes exciting new technology. A unique element of the show is that it features animation to transition each section and provide visual narration of the story that is taking place on stage. The imagery will need no translation and transcends the language barrier for our guests who come from all over the world. Guests will be transported into the show as performers appear from all angles of the theater, creating an immersed theatrical experience. The Pacific Theater stage features surround sound and updated lighting features. The lush set at the theater features volcanoes, waterfalls, water sprays and giant water fountains that provide a rich backdrop for the dances, music and culture of Polynesia.

4:00pm - Admission to Polynesian villages (choice of the following activities):

• The Polynesian Cultural Center represents several Polynesian Island nations as "villages". Each village has a cultural presentation and native demonstrations. You can pound drums in Tonga, husk coconuts in Samoa and dance the Tahitian hula. There is something exotic for visitors to do in every island village.
• Hawaiian Mission Settlement – Learn about the early missionaries in Polynesia and take a look at the Handmade quilts & crafts made daily.
• IOSEPA "Voyage of Discovery" – Learn about the migrations of early Polynesia and see a fully functional double-hulled canoe. Presentation begins in the Hawaiian Hospitality House, next to the Hoku Pa'a Landing.
• Village canoe tour – Take a relaxing guided tour into the islands and see the villages from the comfort of your own seat. Each canoe fits approximately 35 guests.

5:00-6:15pm - Ali'i Lu'au buffet dinner/show, Fresh flower lei.

For generations, the luau has been a Hawaiian feast held in honor of important milestones and special occasions.

The tastes, sounds and sights evoke a feeling of warmth, togetherness and appreciation for a culture unlike anything else.

At Polynesian Cultural Center, you'll experience this island custom first-hand. Named "Hawaii's Most Authentic Luau" by the Kahili Awards, our Ali'i Lu'au puts you at the center of it all.

From authentic Hawaiian music and food to traditional hula and learning about luau history, it's a must-do for visitors from all over the world.
