Built by Christian missionaries in the 1830s and 1840s, this church has always frequented by Hawaiian royalty. The handsome gray edifice, listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings, was constructed of 14,000 coral blocks. The upper gallery houses a collection of portraits of Hawaiian monarchs. Traditional Hawaiian-language services are held here every Sunday. The pews at the rear are still reserved for descendants of Hawaii's royalty. Free tours of the church are offered on weekdays and on Sundays after morning services. Call for reservations.

New service times
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/20/06
We loved this church but the times you list are wrong. The service begins at 9 AM and there is a contemporary service at 11 AM. It is a "do not miss experience."

Make it a priority to go here
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/27/05
Every time we go to Waikiki, we make it a point to go on Sunday morning to the services at Kawaiaho Church. It is done partly in Hawaiian and partly in English. The organ music and choir are lovely. The locals who go there are extremely friendly. The sermons are inspirational. It's always an experience we look forward to as we plan our trip.

Serene place
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/28/05
A very beautiful and Historic church right near the business district. Nice to wander through the cemetery and watch the weddings happen in the church itself.
