Hawaiian attraction Polynesian Cultural Center has unveiled a US$25m (19.5m euro, £16.5m) overhaul of several attractions, which are part of a five-year enhancement programme that began in 2011.

The rebuilt Hawai'i Village, which showcases the islands' traditional way of life, and cinematic experience Hawaiian Journey were unveiled in March.

Hawaiian Journey is housed in the centre's revamped theatre designed to look like a dormant volcano. The theatre's interior features digital projectors, special effects apparatuses, theatrical lighting systems and all new seating.

A narrated film showcases the state's landscapes on one of the largest screens in the state and tells the history of the Pacific archipelago.

Chief operating officer at the centre Alfred Grace said: "Our film crews did a spectacular job capturing Hawaii's diverse landscapes; everything from iconic white sand beaches to alluringly desolate lava flows can be seen in stunning clarity."

Manager of Hawai'i Village Raymond Mokiao said: "The new Hawai'i Village gives us the opportunity to expand our cultural offerings, getting our guests involved with activities like popo maika, an ancient game similar to skeeball, so they can experience what life in ancient Hawaii was really like."

Other already opened additions that are part of the centre's five-year revamp include a 24,400sq ft (2,267sq m) dining and events venue and renovations to the Samoan village.
