The statue stands at about 14 feet tall and is depicted holding a spear. The statue is a symbol of the unity and independence of Hawaii, and it is also considered a symbol of the strength and determination of the Hawaiian people.

It houses the chambers of the Hawaii State Legislature as well as offices for the governor of Hawaii. The building was designed by architect John Ripley Forbes and was completed in 1969. The design of the building is a mix of Hawaiian and modern architectural styles, with features such as a central open-air courtyard and the use of volcanic rock. It is located on a 17 acre site in the neighborhood of Diamond Head, adjacent to the Iolani Palace. The building is open to the public for tours and it is a significant building for Hawaiian history and culture.

  • Kawaiahao Church - Kawaiaha’o Church is a historic Christian church located in Honolulu, Hawaii. It is considered the “Westminster Abbey of Hawaii” and is the oldest standing Christian church in Hawaii. The church was built in 1842 and was designed by an American missionary, Reverend Hiram Bingham, in the New England style. The church is made of coral block and it has a white exterior and a high steeple. The interior of the church features koa wood pews, a pulpit, and a pipe organ. Kawaiaha’o Church has played a significant role in Hawaiian history and culture, serving as a center for religious and political events.

Pearl Harbor experience - This was an okay tour. We really just wanted to see Pearl Harbor and spend time there. I do wish we had a little more time at Pearl Harbor. The tour guide was ok-a bit annoying.

Grea tour. Read and question the details. It’s just the Arizona. - Robert, our tour bus driver was awesome. The town tour was very interesting. Pearl Harbour was also amazing. Our 3 rating reflected the explanation of the tour we purchased. It read las though we could also access the USS Missouri, once we caught the shuttle and missed our return ride, it was made clear this was optional extra to purchase and was not included.
