Our Ambassador Ali’i Luau Package provides you with all of Polynesia: Full-day general admission, plus our award-winning Ali’i Luau dinner, and our amazing HA: Breath of Life evening show.
During the day, you’ll experience our island villages with one of our friendly tour guides in your small guided group.
For dinner you’ll experience our Ali’i Luau. Against the backdrop of waterfalls and lush gardens, the Ali’i Luau celebration begins. A beautiful orchid lei is placed on your shoulders as you enter. The king’s royal court will arrive, portraying the authenticity and excitement of luaus long ago, followed by a traditional imu ceremony (underground oven). Harmonious song and dance accompany your hearty luau meal featuring melt-in-your-mouth pork.
During our evening show, you’ll have Ambassador seating and receive a souvenir gift.
The Show:
Hā: BREATH OF LIFE. A STORY OF PASSION, IGNITED BY FIRE, SONG AND DANCE. The symbolic story of Mana and his beloved Lani, punctuated by Polynesian dance, music and blazing fireknives, is told in “Hā: Breath of Life,” a stunning, new evening show featuring over 100 Polynesian natives, special effects, animation and surround sound. It is a Pacific isle saga of birth and death, love and family, triumph and tragedy.
The Ali’i Luau:ALOHA! Welcome to our award winning Ali’i Luau. In ancient Hawaii, it was customary to celebrate special occasions with ohana (family) and friends.
Today, we continue the tradition of the luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Held in a covered outdoor venue against a background of waterfalls and lush gardens, the Ali’i Luau is a royal celebration of our cultural heritage which includes the Royal Court procession, presentation of the imu (pork baked in an underground oven), and delicious traditional food and lively Hawaiian entertainment.

Tour Reviews
My wife and I felt like absolute royalty at this luau and I think we were given some of the best cuts of meat and service out of anyone there. We had our own private servers and this was well worth the extra expense!
Very friendly and welcoming place. Staff is genuinely happy and ready to help. Very entertaining, full of humor and lots of learning about polynesian culture. We chose this package because of the seating sections and were pleased with what we got.
Even though I live on the island, it was my first time doing this package. We had visitors from the mainland and I joined them to the center. It was a great experience! Everything was top notch, can’t believe it took me so long to visit.
It was our first time here and we liked it. A bit touristy but still an amazing experience all together. Food was great too.
