it was a day to go native and to be immersed in polynesian music and dance. we visited the 7 different villages, namely Samoa, Aotearoa, Fiji, Hawaii, Marquesas, Tahiti and Tonga, watched the performances before the main night show where all the different villages come together for a night of beauty.

playing with my camera at tonga
they blow the flute using their nose!
HAWAII!!!!! and the hula girls dancing..
well fact of the day.. hula is a slow dance which tells a story with the hand actions, the 'typical' hawaiian straw skirt dance with vigorous shaking of the butt is from Tahiti..
with the people of marquesas
the tree climbing champion of samoa!
our bus guide told us that it is impossible to finish exploring the whole village in one day, that's why entry is free for the next 2 days, but with my skillful planning, we managed to watch the presentations of all 7 villages, the canoe paegent, took the canoe tour and watched the imax show before dinner and the main performance at night.
acting silly on the canoe ride..
an interesting coconut tree we saw during the canoe ride
that basically sums up the day..
