    Queen Kapi'olani was an influential Hawaii royal during the late 1800's. Her love for children and…read morepeople, led her to establish a women's and children's medical facility that, today, carries her name and has grown into the largest women's/children's hospital in Hawaii. The Queen also initiated endeavors to ensure native Hawaiian children had access to education. Several schools in Hawaii carry her name. A statue to honor her memory stands in the 100 acre park also named for her, Queen Kapi'olani Regional Park. The statue is the work of Hawaiian artist, Holly Young. Young, who studied chemistry and philosophy on the mainland, and had become a world renowned artist. Visitors to the statue cover the Queen with leis. The queen stands regal wearing a blue dress of the period. She looks out towards the ocean. The Queen's story is told on a plaque behind the statue. Worth a visit. There is paid parking around the park near the statue.

    You will find this statue in Kapiolani Park across the street from and overlooking Waikiki Beach…read more This statue is the work of Holly Young and it was dedicated on December 31, 2001, the Queen's birthday. This bronze statue stands 6'6" tall and sits on a one and a half foot black granite pedestal. You will find a couple of bronze plaques on its pedestal that provides viewers with some brief information on this treasured queen. Queen Kapiʻolani was the wife of King David Kalakaua and was known for her compassion and care for her people. The statue depicts the queen at the age of 40, in "street costume" . Her face has a warm, subtle smile and one of her arms is slightly extended with an open palm, as if to welcome someone into her home. It is normal to see the statue adorned with a flower lei around her neck and/or in her hand. It is in great condition and has been given periodic face-lifts. From what I learned about Queen Kapiʻolani, she is more than deserving of having a statue dedicated in her honor. It is definitely worth a visit, but like most all statues that I reviewed, it is not a long stop and you should consider making it park of a larger itinerary with a few of Waikiki's many nearby attractions.

The Stones Of Life have some kind of mystical powers. A lot of this may just be stories, but have become a part of the culture. These represent Hawaii's longtime history of a place for healing and inclusion, among other things. Cool pieces of local history and worth going for a look on the way to something else. It's got a pretty interesting story. There's four stones, each representing a spirit who brought healing powers to Hawaii in ancient times. Fun to discover something pretty simple with so much history. The Hawaiian name for these is Nā Pōhaku Ola Kapaemāhū A Kapuni. A pretty significant aspect of local culture. These spirits were named Kahalo, Kapaemahu, Kapuni, and Kinohi. It was only in 1997 that these stones were placed here. They were taken from other places where they had been placed close to their favorite bathing areas according to the information on the plaque. Local officials thought it would be a good idea to put all these together in one area. This would also help preservation efforts and increase interest. Good place to find some history on the beach and learn about local history. It's located on Kalakaua close to the Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Statue. This is one of the more culturally significant things about Waikiki.

The four stones are said to hold the power (mana) of four Tahitian healers from Raiatea. These healers traveled throughout the islands administering their miraculous cures. When it was time to go back to their homeland, they gave their names and spiritual power to these four stones. You might think they're just stones, but they are meant to represent the spirit and heritage of the Hawaiian people.

They were…read moreshowing Hamnet which recently got nominated for - and WON! - a bunch of awards, so decided to check it out. This place is a true hole-in-the-wall theater. The entrance is slightly hidden so it can be hard to spot, the inside is super cozy with only about 16-18 comfy recliners, and you can bring your own blanket to get settled in. It feels very local and intimate. The owner said she's been in business since the 90s. A few things to know: you have to call ahead to make a reservation, tickets are $8 cash only, parking is in a paid lot, and masks are required (or you can buy one there for 50 cents). I think they used to allow outside food, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. It also looks like they've shifted focus--while they used to rent VHS and DVDs, now the movie screenings are the main draw. If you're looking for a cozy, community-style movie night, this place is absolutely worth your time!

It's like stepping back in time and feels like someone's house at the same time. Like an old friend who is a movie buff and has tons of videos and DVDs around their place. The owner is an older gentleman who seems to be in this business purely for the love of cinema. Which I respect! My husband loves this place and That being said, it's not your typical movie experience. It's only $5, cash only. You can bring your own snacks (if they are super quiet!) which is amazing because there are almost no vegan movie snacks in bigger commercial theaters. We brought our hydroflasks and some of our favorite snacks from home and were all set! It really is an experience to go here. It's not for everyone, but if you're down for an interesting time, check it out!

The sculpture is fun and makes me smile when ever I pass. According to the attached plaque, Holly Young was the artist and the sculpture was commissioned by the City of Honolulu Commission on the Arts. The book honors family and the ocean, important Hawaiian values. Visitors place leis around the necks of the boy and seal. There is some public pay parking across the street near the zoo.

Give them a lil check but failed to read what's on the stone. It needs an update coz letters are kinda unreadable, so here comes google & read some information about this public sculpture. This bronze charmer located in the end of Kuhio Beach Park has an interesting story behind it. The sculpture shows a young surfer named Makua sharing a moment with a monk seal which is named by Kila. It was an inspiration of a children's book "Makua Lives On The Beach", a story about Hawaiian values of love & respect. After knowing all of these, I'll be looking on that public sculpture the next time 'round a lil different. Appreciating it more & give a stare for a minute. I'd be taking more photos too the next time I'll stroll Waikiki downtown. Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow yelpers!

Each year, HIFF also hosts a special summer film series at Prince Waikiki. I went last year and there were a couple Hawaiian based films that were interesting. Yesterday, I was able to experience the official showing of Songs of Love from Hawai'i by Jinyoung Lee Won at Prince Waikiki. It was an incredible moving documentary about the history of Korean American immigrants in Hawaii. Beautiful music. It's a must see. 53 minutes long. There was a Q&A at the end which was interesting to learn how she came up with idea of the film. There will be a few showings of the film upcoming fall if you are interested in September & October. Can't wait to see what other amazing films come to fruition next year!

From the moment I connected with them, it was clear how much care and passion goes into every piece they create. Their craftsmanship is truly exceptional--each item feels unique, thoughtfully designed, and made with real attention to detail. What stood out most to me was the personal touch. You can tell this isn't just a business to them--it's a labor of love passed down and nurtured within their family. They were incredibly kind, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure I found something perfect. If you're looking for meaningful, high-quality jewelry while supporting a local family business, I highly recommend them. It feels great to wear something that not only looks beautiful but also carries a story and heart behind it.
