Last year we went to Hawaii (Big Island and Maui) for 4 weeks. Our seven year old decided that she wanted to do a Luau. We looked around and everything was expensive. We decided that we'd just wait until we went to Oahu (planned for 2024) and take our kids to the PCC.
The packages at the PCC with food are about the same price as a luau. However, when you go to the PCC you get to do all the shows at the villages, the boat parade, and the luau with a higher quality night show. It's a full day event and all the competition is just a couple of hours of entertainment.
On top of that you're supporting a lot of students get a great education.
I went to and graduated from BYU-Hawaii and while I didn't work at the PCC, I saw first hand how it helped some really amazing people get a great education.
