• LUAU’S & DINNER SHOWS

ALII LUAU at the POLYNESIAN CULTURAL CENTER
Polynesian Cultural CenterUpon your arrival at the lu‘au site, you are welcomed with a fresh flower lei and Polynesian people eager to share their culture with you. Then, before the dinner program begins, you’ll see the kalua (steamed) pig lifted off the steaming rocks of the imu (underground oven). The blowing of a conch shell announces the arrival of Hawaiian royalty, The Ali‘i Court, who were believed to manage the affairs of the land and people on behalf of the gods. As Hawai‘i’s most authentic lu‘au begins, hula dancers perform the hula kahiko, or ancient dances, that tell stories of old Hawai‘i. Next, hula dancers take you on a nostalgic tour of Hawaiian musical styles, including songs of the 1930s and ’40s and the classic sounds of the Hawaiian steel guitar. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. and the program begins at 5:30 p.m. The lu'au wraps up by 6:30 p.m., leaving you plenty of time to do some shopping before “Horizons,” the island’s largest evening show. Or call (808) 293-3333. Or visit them online at: www.Polynesia.com.
