The show's name, 'Makumanu,' combines Polynesian-inspired elements to align with the park's specific geographic theme.
The demonstration includes free-flight sessions where birds fly directly over the audience to showcase wing spans and agility.
Trainers utilize positive reinforcement techniques to encourage the birds to mimic natural foraging and social interactions.
The theater structure is built using materials designed to integrate into the surrounding lush, tropical vegetation of the Polynesia zone.
Makumanu Show is an open-air avian demonstration located within the Polynesia area of the PortAventura World theme park. The show features a variety of exotic birds, including macaws, cockatoos, and hornbills, performing interactive flight sequences. Trainers guide the birds through aerial maneuvers that highlight their natural behaviors and intelligence. The venue is designed as a tropical outdoor theater to mimic the birds' native environments. Guests are seated in a covered amphitheater that provides views of the stage area. The performance emphasizes wildlife education and conservation awareness through live demonstrations. It operates as a seasonal attraction tied to the broader theme park schedule.

Arrive early to secure a seat in the center of the amphitheater for the most immersive experience.
Wear a hat and sunscreen, as the waiting area may have limited shade before the performance begins.
Avoid bringing large food items into the seating area to prevent attracting unwanted interest from the birds or local park wildlife.
Do not attempt to touch or feed the birds at any point, as this disrupts training and safety protocols.
Operating schedule is tied to the main PortAventura Park calendar; shows may be canceled or delayed during high wind or inclement weather.
