Overview
Travel through time as you experience thousands of years worth of culture in an untouched Hawaiian jungle where ancient Hawaiians once lived, worked and played. On your adventure, you will drive through the villages of Hawaii, Fiji, Tonga, and Samoa where you will enjoy the adventure of traditional hands-on activities with your Polynesian guides.
What you will be doing
We recognise the word Aloha, which has become one of the most famous words in the world. Hawaii is also famous for its luaus. Luaus originated from the religious taboo against men and women eating together in ancient Hawaii. While making a short stop on your ATV, you can taste freshly prepared poi, which is a traditional food made from the taro plant and is still eaten today at luaus.
fighting was a way of life. The Fijian warrior did not rely on shields or armour but depended on his well-developed agility and alertness. While you stop in Fiji, you will be able to test your skills by throwing a traditional spear at its target. Also, enjoy the traditional Fijian game of pineapple smashing. After being blindfolded and armed with a warrior club, you will try to smash a pineapple on the ground. Don't worry - the Fijians aren't all fighting. In fact, they are warm and caring people with some exciting tales to share.
This is the place that is known as the Friendly Islands. Tonga is a Polynesian sovereign state that has never been ruled by a foreign power and comprises 177 islands spread over 500 miles. At this stop, you will learn the mauluulu (a type of sitting dance while on your ATV). Also, learn how Tongans used wooden drums, or lali, during welcoming and other ceremonies. How are your drumming skills?
The Samoan people know how to have fun; in fact, their sense of humour is known throughout Polynesia. As you will see, the traditional living quarters, or fale (houses), contain no walls and up to 20 people may sleep on the ground in the same fale. In Samoan culture, most activities are done together. As you stop in the Samoan village, you will learn how to crack open a coconut using a small rock and have a drink of fresh coconut water. As a final challenge, can you start a fire with two sticks while using the coconut husk?
