    Iolani Palace has been lovingly restored to as close to its original glory as possible. The tour guide gave us a clear view of not just the "what" of the physical place but the "how" of the experience of those that would come to see the king and also the royal's experience of living there.

    Aloha tower is one of famous Oahu landmarks standing by the cruise terminal. This is the only thing worth coming, as the mall around is semi closed with not much to do.
    It wasn't open to climb and I don't know if it's even allowed.

    Our guide at Washington Place was knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Throughout the house there are QR codes that lead to videos to help you learn more (though our guide, Zita, was extremely thorough!) My favorite part of the tour was upstairs where we could go in different rooms to see exhibits curated by Washington Place. I learned a lot about Liliuokalani and her life and amazing legacy. Additionally, the tour was small (15-20 people), which allowed for a better experience.

    Not much time needed to visit this. They have railing put up around the flame and one homeless guy was sleeping on the bench nearby.

    Stopped here before our Iolani Palace tour. Free and no time investment. A nice sculpture memorial.

    Located in the same area as the Judiciary Building and Iolani Palace, this building is often seen as the home of the Honolulu Police Department on Hawaii Five-O. It is a two story building with a large central staircase with large decorative columns.

    This is a handsome building downtown, very near the Clock Tower and cruise ship port. A bit surprising for a tropical city, like Manhattan.

    Was hoping to visit but it seemed no one was ever there when we went by. Older station with some great architectural elements such as the swing out doors. Needs a little work as one of the doors and windows were covered in plywood. I, at first, thought it was a shut down station until I saw cars stopped in back.
    Did get to stop and talk to the FF's at station #7 at Waikiki Beach. Very nice bunch, very will to talk and was able to get a few t-shirts from them.
