Throw Spears, Sing, Dance At Polynesian Culture Centre
You may have seen pictures of Hawaii on postcards, with its beautiful beaches, lush gardens and fascinating volcanoes.
But the Hawaiian islands are also rich in history and culture. On the north shore of Hawaii’s island of Oahu, you’ll find the Polynesian Culture Centre. There, each group of Polynesian islands is represented in the form of a mini-village from that particular island chain.
At the cultural centre, you can visit “Fiji” and play the drums. Then, turn around the corner to “Tonga” to take a lesson in spear throwing, or make a headband out of palm leaves.
In “Samoa” learn about how they make tapa (used for cloth and paper) and watch a man climb barefoot, high up a coconut tree. Continue on to “Aotearoa” and see the exciting dancers perform the fearsome Haka.
The staff, or people in the “villages,” are actually from the places they represent; most of them are students from nearby Brigham Young University.
After spending several hours visiting each village, you can stay longer and enjoy a buffet dinner (try the poi) with a show at the Polynesian Culture Centre’s luau. In Hawaiian, luau means any type of gathering of family and friends. Dancers and singers perform traditional dances and songs while you eat your dinner.
Afterwards, you can also catch the live theatre performance Ha- breath of Life at the Polynesian Culture Centre.
