Tiki Village Theater
Your hotel will be happy to provide
a free shuttle to The Tiki Village Theater. Upon your arrival, you
are greeted by ukulele players. A hostess ushers you through a meandering
path of soft island sand into the open-air theater. There, you are
given your welcome punch and taken to your seats. As the show begins,
you can smell your food roasting.  After
the first 30 minutes you are asked to follow with your group to
the BBQ pit for the unveiling of the "under ground Tahitian oven."
Unbeknownst to you, your feast has been cooking in banana leaves
over hot burning rocks beneath the sand. Two hosts educate you in
the history of this ancient cooking process.
Soon afterwards, you are escorted through the charming likeness
of an authentic Tahitian village where various artisans demonstrate
their skills. The village is complete with stone carvers, basket
weavers, vahines (women) braiding flower crowns and Tahitian tattoo
artists! You are then guided through the buffet line.
 As
you eat this authentic banquet, Tahitian models are moving to the
live music as they demonstrate how to tie a pareo. But wait, the
show is not over yet... following your dinner there is an additional
hour of music, flaming torch dances, tamure dancing, singing,
drumming and the witness of a Tahitian Wedding. This is a must see! |
