Tale of Two Palaces Adventure

Step back in time on this unforgettable and exciting adventure as you visit the historic highlights of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Traveling into the lush Nuuanu Valley, our first stop is Queen Emma's Summer Palace where a past era comes alive. Next, we drive through a tropical rainforest.

After driving through a spectacular tree-tunnel we arrive at Hawaii's sacred Royal Mausoleum,"Mauna ‘Ala", the final resting place of six of the kingdom's last eight ruling monarchs.

Then we go on a hour -long journey inside the ornate Iolani Palace, the only Royal Palace in the United States, to discover its splendid treasures. You will also see the historic sites of the legendary King Kamehameha's statue and the unique Kawaiahao Church, "the Westminster Abbey of Hawaii".
