Honolulu Things to do:Check out Hawaii

Honolulu Things to do: Enjoy a trip to Honolulu and you will find many interesting things that are a part of the history of Hawaii. One of the Honolulu things to do that you must not miss is the visual arts center. This center was opened in 1927 and contains over 50,000 works.

From the Egypt of ancient times to today, there are works by the masters such as Monet, Rauschenberg, Gauguin and Masami Teraoka. Featuring art that is from Southeast Asia, Korea and India as well as Hawaii, this is an exceptional exhibit of art over a period of 4,000 years.

While visiting Honolulu you will want to see Diamond Head. This is a crater that is the result of a volcano that has not been active for many thousands of years. The perfect place for a hike, the summit of the volcano is 760 feet. This is a hike that can take a couple of hours, so wear your comfortable shoes. As one of the more interesting Honolulu things to do you will love the views of Koki Head and Waikiki when you get to the top.

Visiting the Iolani Palace is another “must see” on your tour of the area. This palace was home to official royalty - the only one ever to exist in the history of the U.S. The palace was finished in 1882 and the design is similar to Italian Renaissance.

This restored palace has a gallery that contains ancient crown jewels and the clothing, symbolic and ceremonial objects that once belonged to royalty. You can take a tour of the palace at various times during the day. It is well worth seeing if you are interested in how people of royalty lived in ancient times.

While visiting here you will want to check out Waikiki Beach. This is the most popular one on Oahu and has two miles of white sandy beach for your enjoyment. The proximity of the hotels in this area are along the beach so it is easy to walk out the door and to the beach.

Another experience that is vital when choosing Honolulu things to do is visiting Kapiolani Park. This park has been here since the 1870s. The park is where Diamond Head, the Honolulu Zoo and much more are located. In addition there are art shows held here. A variety of spots are designated for tennis and soccer, an archery range and a course for those who like to jog. Come listen to the Royal Hawaiian band every Sunday afternoon.

If you want to experience the natural environment of Honolulu, take a bus ride to the Hanuama Bay Nature Preserve. This is a preserve that has been dedicated to the preservation and protection of the marine life here. The horseshoe-shaped bay is located at the southeastern end of the island. It is a small area but big on what it contains. Coral reefs, fish and all the marine life that live here can be seen up close and personal if you want to take a snorkeling tour.
