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!

However if you want to enter the picnic area where there are bathrooms, you will need to pay an entrance fee if you don't have a Hawaii Driver's License or ID.

Don't speed, there have been many accidents because people took the turns too quickly. Enjoy the beautiful views!!

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

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

I travelled up Mount Tantalus to the Park yesterday with my daughter. We travelled through beautiful dense forest at the Park entrance. At the highest overlook, we could see everything and more from Diamond Head out to (and beyond) the airport. We could see all of Honolulu. I felt like we were on top of the world! Plaques offer fascinating overviews of the history and geology of the landmarks below. We could even see inside the famous tuff cone, Punch Bowl! Nearby is the first macadamia nut orchard in Hawaii. The overviews are paved with railings and easily accessible. The Park offers picnic areas with a couple pavilions and picnic tables. There is a charge for non-resident parking of $7 that can be paid electronically. Resident parking is free. Parking is limited, but there are several parking areas. We had no trouble finding parking mid week. Warning signs tell guest not to leave valuables in the car. Pu'u Ualaka'a State Park is only two miles from downtown Honolulu (maybe a couple more miles to the top). The Park is an easy 5 star and worth a visit.
