Things to do in Iolani Palace

My parents and my father-in-law and I took the bus driven by Mr. Oli. They are quite elderly, and by that point in the trip, they were starting to feel tired. However, they were very satisfied with the trolley tour along the Hawaiian coast, enjoying the cool breeze. Throughout the ride, Mr. Oli provided many explanations and shared interesting stories about the main points of interest, making it a very enjoyable time.

worth checking out the history, its a short time in the museum as its on the actual ship that got hit during the time

I hadn't originally planned this trip, but I booked it last minute. Our guide was incredibly enthusiastic about sharing historical information throughout the journey, though it was all in English. While it was challenging to follow, I found it very meaningful. Our guide, Nani, was also very meticulous about explaining the meeting points and times. I recommend renting an audio guide to get more out of the experience and to exchange for a souvenir. It was an unforgettable trip.

It was a wonderful experience! The boat moved faster than I expected. When I went out on the deck, it was a bit windy, but the American flag was waving, and I was able to take some great photos. Unfortunately, it was cloudy, so we couldn't see the sunset, but we did see a beautiful evening sky. After that, we saw the Waikiki night view from the ocean, which is a rare sight. And the fireworks were beautiful too. The food was delicious, and the hula dance show was powerful and very good. I highly recommend participating if you visit Hawaii.

Such a great experience! The process was super simple and well explained. Had 3 instructors, 1 was a foreign one for Japanese people but helped with others too. The instructors were super great, friendly and helpful. Actually managed to stand and felt I got plenty of attention and help. Thank you to Niko, Kelani and the other instructor (I'm sorry I couldn't remember your name!) Would recommend. Best for groups of even numbers so you're partnered up😊

It's very convenient; the pier and check-in are right downstairs from the hotel. The submarine dive wasn't actually very deep, about 100 feet. The view of the fish on the left side that day wasn't as good as the right side, where someone reportedly saw a sea turtle.

Initially, the bus arrived 15 minutes late to the meeting point, but that was my only moment of anxiety. The free malasadas, the magnificent nature and scenery, Dole Plantation, seeing sea turtles while snorkeling, the exquisite garlic shrimp, and the Jurassic Park filming locations—everything was so packed that 10 hours flew by in an instant. Our tour guide, Dirk, seemed to have been an English teacher in Tokyo, so he was fluent in Japanese. Since everyone else in our group was foreign, the tour was conducted entirely in English, but when he spoke to us, he used fluent Japanese. He was so proficient that he could even crack jokes in Japanese. This was my first time in Hawaii, and I'm already planning to go back soon.
