Hawaii, Polynesian Cultural Center, Day 4


If you want to see the authentic culture of the islands, you need to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center. It started in the 1960's as a way for students from the islands to have work, but it has become the premier attraction of all Hawaii.

The culture of each major South Pacific island group is shown in separate areas of the park.

"Most authentic luau in Hawaii" is their claim, and it's true. You get to watch them dig up the roasted pig and unwrap the leaves. The pork is delicious! They serve purple sweet rolls made with taro root and tapioca. Most Americans like to taste everything, but like their own food best!

The theme of the night show follows a family of the islands. With music and dancing they tell the story of life. There's always lots of fire dancing and everybody loves it!
