The 42-acre Polynesian Cultural Center brings to life the traditions, history and hospitality of seven Pacific cultures. Watch natives from these cultures demonstrate the arts of dancing with fire, making jewelry and clothing from plants, and preserving history without a written language. Enjoy an island-style barbeque lunch buffet and experience the “Rainbows of Paradise” Pageant of the Long Canoes.
Atlantis Submarine Odyssey
Dive down to a man-made reef aboard an Atlantis Submarine where you’ll see a multitude of brightly colored tropical fish and other fascinating creatures as they frolic around a sunken 185-foot oil tanker, which creates a marvelous fish habitat. This voyage of discovery will literally take you to another world – the world beneath the sea. There is a 10-minute tender ride each way between Port Hilton and the submarine. Passengers must negotiate a stepladder to board the submarine. All passengers must be at least 36 inches tall.
Deluxe Arizona Memorial and Historical Honolulu Excursion
Enjoy a scenic tour of Pearl Harbor and Honolulu’s historical sites. First, visit Pearl Harbor to view the sunken hull of the battleship USS Arizona atop which the Memorial rests. At the National Parks Service Arizona Memorial World War II Museum, you will view the dramatic film of the actual attack on Pearl Harbor and visit the men of valor in their final resting place. Then, take a look into Honolulu’s history on a tour through the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, past Iolani Palace, the King Kamehameha Statue, Chinatown, and the Hawaii State Capitol. Please note that purses and bags are not permitted aboard the memorial. All passengers must be at least 32 inches tall for admission aboard the USS Arizona Memorial.

Paradise Cove Royal Ali’i Luau
Treasure the quiet beauty of a magnificent island sunset, the excitement of traditional island crafts and games, the joy of a memorable time and place, all at a beachside setting where time stands still just for you. Take part in a traditional hukilau and follow the Royal Court Procession to the Imu Ceremony to witness the unearthing of a roasted pig from an underground oven. Then, enjoy an island-style luau feast and performances of traditional Hawaiian and Polynesian songs and dances.
Polynesian Cultural Center Ambassador Luau
Explore the 42-acre Polynesian Cultural Center, which brings to life the traditions, history and hospitality of seven Pacific cultures. Watch natives from these cultures demonstrate the arts of dancing with fire, making jewelry and clothing from plants, and preserving history without a written language. Then, experience the largest and most exciting evening show on the islands. Start with the extensive Ambassador Luau buffet. Then, marvel as more than 100 native performers, dressed in authentic attire, present the traditions and culture from six island nations just as their ancestors did during the 90-minute show, “Horizons: Where the Sea Meets the Sky.”
