You’re probably wondering, Why would anyone ever want to travel to Hawaii?, but listen, Hawaii really does have a few things to offer (e.g.: perfect climate, outdoor activities, Pearl Harbor memorials, volcanoes, and fabulous performance opportunities, including the Waikiki Holiday Parade). Dive into South Pacific cultures at the Polynesian Cultural Center and unwind on famed Waikiki Beach.

Because Gateway brings thousands of travelers to Hawaii each year, we have established relationships with local vendors, schools, and performance venues. We confidently promise you the best value in the tour industry, so break out the ukulele and limber up those hips for the luau!

Honolulu: Hawaii’s capital city is a center of culture and commerce in the Pacific.

Polynesian Cultural Center: With demonstrations and performances that invite you to participate in six South Pacific island cultures, Oahu’s Polynesian Cultural Center will remind you that Hawaii is much more than a simple beach vacation. Learn about history and customs, and luau like it’s 1999.
