We arrived at the Polynesian Cultural Center a lot later than we would have liked because we spent too much time at Pearl Harbor. We arrived in time to watch the tail end of the haka dance at one of the villages. Then we watched a really funny drum performance. After that we watched a fun little dance demonstration from one of the islands. Then we took the bus tour over to the Hawaii temple and visitor center. We ate dinner and then finished the night with the evening performance of Ha.
