Not all stories are told through dancing, fire knife shows, and other unique displays of creativity, but "Creation: A Polynesian Journey" is. Guests can drop into the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani on Oahu to travel back in time and cross culturally through the Pacific, to experience the varied cultures and their beauty from Tahiti and the Marquesas to Fiji to Hawaii. Beginning with the birth of the first woman, and traversing the Pacific on the settlement voyage, Creation tells the tale of the Pacific people from the beginning to the fine arts and traditions practiced today.
