The Polynesian Paradise Dancers (PPD) are bringing Hawaii to you. This
show is set during the summer of 1959 where you’ll be one of the first tourists
to the islands and experience all Hawaii has to offer. Check into our Paradise Hotel, take your
first surf lesson, enjoy a Mai Tai at the local Tiki bar and of course watch
the beauty of an authentic hula show.
