Iolani Palace was constructed in 1882 under the order of King David Kalakaua. By 1887, Iolani Palace had been furnished with electricity and a phone line. The palace served as the official residence of the Kings and Queens of the Kingdom of Hawaii until the last monarch, Queen Liliuokalani, was overthrown in 1891. The building then served as the capital building of Hawaii until 1969. Iolani Palace has since been restored and is accessible to the public with reservations.

Called the “Arlington of the Pacific,” the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, also known as Punchbowl cemetery, was founded in 1949. The Cemetery contains over 61,000 graves. The cemetery is the final resting place for Veterans from WWI to today and their families. There are still a number of graves from WWII and the Korean War marked as Unknown. The central memorial is dedicated to those soldiers and sailors who are Missing in Action, unrecovered, or who were buried at sea. The most famous feature of that memorial is the sculpture of Lady Columbia which was featured in both versions of Hawaii Five-O.

As you drive by Kaneohe Bay, you will notice a conical Islet Many of the locals know it as Chinaman’s Hat. Looking at it, it is clear how it got that name. The Hawaiian name for it is Mokolii. Mokolii is owned by the City and County of Honolulu and is managed by State and Federal wildlife services. The islet is a nesting place for seabirds and is home to many species of native plants, some of which are critically endangered. Once part of the main Island, until erosion separated it, the Islet is accessible by kayak, boat, swimming, or wading at low tide. One can visit the Islet during daylight hours.

Sitting at the mouth of the Anahulu Stream is the quaint town called Haleiwa. Going through the town will be almost like going back in a time machine. Many of the buildings date back to the old plantation days of the early 20th century. Ever since the town was designated a State cultural, historical, and scenic district, even the new buildings have to stick to the town’s old plantation aesthetic. Despite its small-town feel, Haleiwa is the commercial center on Oahu’s North Shore. Many people who travel to the North Shore for surfing or sightseeing usually end up in Haleiwa for a rest stop. One of the most popular places to go in Haleiwa is Matsumoto’s Shave Ice. Matsumoto’s is a long-time fixture in Haleiwa and is world-famous for its shaved ice desserts.
