Queen Emma Summer Palace, Honolulu

I enjoyed the history and the feel of this small home. It took about 20 minutes to see, but it was very interesting and I learned alot about the hawaiian people.

We have been to Oahu seven times and thought we had done everything there was to do on the island. We had passed by this "Palace" many times on the Pali Highway and always thought about stopping in but never did. On this trip, we finally stopped by. We were very impressed. We were on the tour for about forty-five minutes and learned much about the culture and history of Hawaii. The docent was Hawaiian born and was extremely informative. She was able to answer all of our questions and also had a good sense of humor. The best part about it was it only cost $5. That's a steal on this island where they gouge you at every corner (Luau's, Parking, Gas, Lodging, Dinner Shows, etc.) If you are the least bit interested about the Hawaiian history, I would recommend it.
