Explore historical landmarks like Pearl Harbor, ʻIolani Palace, and ancient Hawaiian sites
Nestled at the foot of the Koʻolau mountain range, just outside Kāneʻohe, Hōʻomaluhia Botanical Garden feels like a hidden sanctuary where time slows and nature takes center stage. Spanning 400 acres of lush, landscaped beauty, the garden is part of the City and County of Honolulu’s botanical network—originally designed as a flood control project but now cherished as one of Oʻahu’s most peaceful and picturesque destinations.
Just west of downtown Honolulu, the Pearl Harbor National Memorial stands as one of the most solemn and historically significant sites in the United States. It commemorates the events of December 7, 1941—the day that changed the course of world history—and honors the lives lost during the surprise attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet. For visitors drawn to the stories of World War II, American military heritage, and pivotal global moments, the memorial provides a powerful and deeply moving experience.
