Chris…read moreguided our small group (six) through a private 90 minute tour of the Hawaii Capital Historic District. One can't discuss the history of Honolulu without learning something of the history of all the Hawaiian Islands, so intertwined are they, so you leave with a sense of understanding of the general history of the Islands as well. Chris is very knowledgeable about the the history of islands, and his style is casual and informal. He encourages questions and interaction with the group. He is also very accommodating with scheduling so don't hesitate to tailor a tour based on your group size and needs. The Capital Historic District is small, with the actual amount of walking minimal. Our tour was all outdoors, but it is possible to go explore the interiors of a number of the buildings, such as the Iolani Palace, Ali'iolani Haie Building, and Hawaiian Mission Houses on your own. I highly recommend this tour of the the Hawaii Capital Historic District in Honolulu. Jill

You'll walk away with memories and stories to share. There is walking involved on this tour. Bring a jacket. Park at Waikiki Shell or the metered parking between the bandstand and the tennis courts (Kalākaua Ave). I can't wait to go on the next tour!

Wow, a really nice view of the Waikīkī and perhaps Honolulu areas. Yes as other reviewers mention…read morethe road is a bit windy to get here but it's pretty worth it and in all honesty it's not that bad of a drive. It's about 20 mins north from the main Waikīkī area. When you drive up, there may be a parking attendant that tells you to pay 7$ (unless you have a Hawai'i license/ID). I don't think it's heavily enforced (for example if the attendant goes on break, you may be able to drive right by and they probably won't know but I guess that's luck) in any case there's signs also recommending you pay 7$ to park. You have two options here in terms of parking. The first spot will tell you on Google Maps that it's 6min to the farthest spot. There's more parking here and shaded picnic areas to enjoy the view off in the distance. From here you can keep driving or you can walk there, it's just a short walk over a small hill (6min is an overestimate IMO). There is a small shaded area but this area is mostly exposed to sun and the elements. However it offers the best and mostly unobstructed views of the city and diamond head. In any case this is a nice alternate to diamond head as the hiking/walking is kept to a minimum. Highly recommend if you can make the trip

If you're unable to make it to Diamondhead, this is the perfect alternative for a view of Waikiki…read more Plus, it's completely free, requires no hiking and is not packed with visitors (at least when we went). I couldn't ask for anything more! The route to get here involves some narrow roads and a few sharp turns through a residential area, but it is manageable. Located within the Puu Ualakaa State Park, you can drive straight to the lookout point and park in the adjacent parking lot. We arrived at noon and there were a couple spots left, however it didn't seem like people spent much time here, so cars were constantly arriving and leaving. We marveled at the view and snapped a few photos before heading out after about 30 minutes. From the lookout, you get a stunning view of the city with Diamondhead in the distance. Informational plaques on the platform provide a history of the area and there is also a small shaded space, which I greatly appreciated. With the increased elevation, you can definitely feel the sun right on your skin so be sure to slather on some sunscreen! Although you will not get as clear of a view of the ocean from here (as opposed to at Diamondhead), this lookout point is a prime example of low effort, high reward!

Then there were all of the department Christmas trees, and we didn't even have time for the outdoor decorations before hopping back on!
