Polynesian Cultural Center

Our final stop for the day was the Polynesian Cultural Center.

"The Polynesian Cultural Center features six Polynesian "islands" in a beautifully landscaped, 42-acre setting representing Fiji, Hawaii, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Samoa, Tahiti and Tonga. Additional island exhibits include the great mo'ai statues and huts of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and the islands of Marquesas. A beautiful man-made freshwater lagoon winds throughout the Center. Each "island" offers entertainment as well as hands-on activities that the entire family can enjoy."

Meet our funny authentic Samoan.  He taught us how to speak Samoan, start a fire, and crack open a coconut.  

His show was hilarious!

During his show we were able to see how to retrieve a coconut.  

You simply climb the tree and bring it down.  

(This guy made it look too easy)

Now this is will be a picture we'll talk about for years!

After touring around the center and learning about many different cultures and places, we were treated to a traditional Hawaiian Luau, complete with a flower lei, roasted pig,
and entertainment during dinner.

Seth's favorite was the pineapple drink!

What a fun loving family!

After the luau dinner, we were able to go to the evening show;
Ha, Breath of Life.

It was an outdoor theater with lots of music
and traditional Hawaiian dancing.
