The Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie, on Oahu's North Shore, is a large living-culture attraction where six island villages showcase Polynesian traditions through demonstrations, a canoe pageant, and an acclaimed evening show and luau. It is one of the island's top-ticketed experiences and easily fills a full day. It is about an hour from Waikiki and admission is expensive, so plan transport and pick a package in advance.
