Polynesian Cultural Center

The Polynesian Cultural Center was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. It is set up with little villages dedicated to each culture. They have demonstrations of cooking, crafts, and dancing.
Wow can the Samoans climb trees or what?
This guy was definitely the funniest presenter. He taught us how to open a coconut, drink the juice and get out the milk (yes they are different). He also showed us how to make fire by hand.
The Tahitians are famous for the speed at which they shake their hips.
Replica of the monument on the Easter Islands.
The New Zealand men performing the Haka.
The evening was capped off with the show Ka the Breath of Life. It was awesome! The fire dancers were really mesmerizing. It was a great part of visiting Hawaii.
