• 5A bus tour of the island, but withl the added knowlege and experience that the tour guy brought into play. Her knowl

  Lola our driver and guide was the best . Knowledgeable on the history of the island. Aware of the small items that she was able to point out that make the trip unique and special such as turtles on the beach more than automatic effects of recent weather on the island. She was excellent.

About Honolulu

Honolulu is Hawaii's capital on the south shore of Oahu, with Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head crater, a royal palace and the Pearl Harbor memorial nearby.

Honolulu spreads along Oahu's south coast between the mountains and the sea. Waikiki Beach is the famous curve of sand, with surf lessons and outrigger canoes, and the green Diamond Head crater at its eastern end is a short hike to a summit with ocean views. In downtown Honolulu, ʻIolani Palace was the home of Hawaii's monarchs and is the only royal palace on American soil, and a gilded King Kamehameha statue stands across the road.
