This memorial remembers the things that happened during the Pacific War, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor, the internment of Japanese-Americans, and the occupation of Japan. The USS Arizona monument is one of the most important parts of the memorial. It marks the graves of 1,102 sailors and Marines who died on the battleship during the surprise attack in 1941. The memorial is built on top of the sunken ship, and people can get there by boat.

Memorial to the Battleship Missouri

The Battleship Missouri Memorial is another World War II memorial in Honolulu. The “Mighty Mo,” as it is sometimes called, has a very important place in history, and not just for the U.S. In 1954, the peace treaty that ended World War II was signed on the deck of this ship by representatives of the Japanese Empire and several Allied powers. Visitors can walk around the Missouri’s decks on their own or take a tour led by a professional historian.

Hanauma Bay Nature Reserve

Back in 1967, Hanauma Bay was made a protected area for marine life and an underwater park. The waters of this curved bay are clean and full of fish and other sea life. To help protect these natural wonders, all first-time visitors must watch a video about the marine life, how to protect it, and safety rules before they can enter the park. Hanauama Bay is a beautiful place to explore, snorkel, and learn how to take care of the environment in a responsible way.

Trail to Koko Crater

The last time Koko Crater blew its top was more than 30,000 years ago. Adventurers can take on the tough Koko Crater Railway Trail to see how beautiful it is. The trail is worth the sweat and sore muscles you’ll get from it. The amazing views from the top are a great reward for all your hard work. There’s no question that the 1,100 steep steps are a great way to get in shape. At the end, the old train track leads to the top of the crater, which is 1,208 feet high. The fact that there is a botanical garden in the middle of the crater was a pleasant surprise.

Magic Island

This man-made peninsula just outside the city center was built in 1964. At first, it was meant to be a resort center. Later, that plan was thrown out, and the area became a park. Magic Island is a popular place to meet up these days. There are often picnics, games of frisbee with friends, and the occasional festival or performance. On July 4, the Ala Moana Center puts on a concert with local bands and artists and a fireworks show over the island.

Food from Hawaii at Highway Inn

Restaurant, American, $$$

Want to eat some traditional Hawaiian food while you’re there? Then go to Highway Inn, which is in the center of Honolulu. (Hawaii Magazine said that this place serves the best Hawaiian food in town.) Learn more about Hawaiian food by eating it, which is the best way to do it. Order the poke as an appetizer. It is made with raw yellowfin tuna, sea salt, sesame oil, seawood, and soy sauce. Kalua pig is a dish that smells like smoke. It is usually the main dish at a Hawaiian luau, which is a party.

The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum

The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum is in Honolulu’s historic Kalihi district. It focuses on natural and cultural history. Here is where you can find out about Hawaiian history. The Bishop Museum is the largest museum in Hawaii and has more Polynesian cultural artifacts than any other place on earth. The museum’s collection of insects is also very impressive. With more than 13.5 million specimens, it is the third largest collection of insects in the US.

Lyon Arboretum is a beautiful place to visit because it has a lot of tropical plants. The 194 acres of the arboretum and botanical gardens are very impressive. With an average of 165 inches of rain per year, it’s no wonder that more than 5,000 different kinds of tropical plants grow well here. This peaceful place is great for exploring thanks to its many paths and small water features.

It has art shows, films, videos, and performances. The pieces of art in the collection come from all the major cultures of Hawaii and span 5,000 years. The Hawaiian collection has beautiful quilts, feather capes, and paintings of Maui by Georgia O’Keeffe from the 20th century.
