Visit Polynesian Cultural Center’s Haunted Lagoon For A Spooky Fun Time (10/12)
During the day, visitors to the Polynesian Cultural Center take pleasant canoe rides through Polynesian villages. As the canoes float along the smooth river, visitors hear the sounds of Tongan drums and Polynesian songs while taking in the interesting sights like the Fijian temple show in the photo on the right. It’s a very safe and happy scene.
As night falls in October, canoes navigate through dramatically different sights and sounds. A haunted lagoon comes to life. Darkness evokes the creatures and ghosts of the lagoon. Along the bank of the lagoon, tortured souls scream in a struggle to escape.

“At night, the appearance of it is very scary—the jungle, the palm trees,” says William Mahoni, the PCC’s product development specialist. “Last year, we added three animatronics, including a body snatcher who climbs down from a coconut tree when he sees you coming.” Two of the animatronic figures were purchased from Dark Raven and one from the Scarefactory.
The BOO Lagoon – Honolulu Weekly (9/29)
As the canoe glides through smoky tunnels and over black steamy water, riders listen to the sounds of children playing through the static of white noise from an antique gramophone. The sounds are eerie, yes, but the sight of headless maidens turning around in circles holding their chopped-off heads in their hands is even freakier.
