per person
What's included
- Admission to the Polynesian Cultural Center on your booked date
- Access to the six villages and their daytime activities
- Ali Luau dinner
About this ticket
The D-Ali Luau Package pairs your self-guided visit to the six villages with the luau dinner, the sit-down Hawaiian feast the centre is known for. The A-Ticket deliberately leaves dinner out, so this is the one to take if you want the meal built into the day rather than added separately. Transport isn't included, so plan your journey there and back around an evening finish.
What's not included
- Transport to and from the centre
Practical info
Booked for one specific visit date without a timeslot, so allow enough of the day to see the villages before the luau. Adult and child tickets are both available. Check the day's posted schedule on arrival so the dinner and the performances fit together.
How to redeem
Your PDF voucher arrives after booking; show it at the entrance on your booked date, printed or on your phone, and it covers your dinner seating as well as admission.
Important notes
