Overview

  • Step into historic Honolulu and discover a side of Hawaiʻi that history books often obscure. The nineteenth-century Hawaiian Kingdom was an internationally recognised constitutional state whose monarchs built grand palaces, negotiated global treaties, and adopted electric lighting before the US White House. On this immersive self-guided walking tour, a political historian and local resident lead you through cathedrals, royal barracks, government halls, and ʻIolani Palace. Untangle the storey of royal diplomacy, sugar-oligarch pressure, US Marines, and Queen Liliʻuokalani's courageous protest during the overthrow of 1893.
