Sights to see in sunny Honolulu
In addition to its wealth of outdoor activities, there are many sights not to be missed during your stay in one of many Honolulu vacation homes.
Iolani Palace is a national historic landmark located conveniently in downtown Honolulu. The palace is the former home of the Hawaiian monarchy and was the residence of the final king and queen in the late 1800s. The palace is open to visitors with a guide or self-guided audio tour and offers a greater understanding of the cultural and historical side of the islands.
Not far from Iolani Palace is the Kawaiahao Church, which was the first Christian church to be built on Oahu and dates to 1842. The church is a significant landmark in Honolulu and marks the transition from an isolated culture to one of American heritage and cultural dominance. The building itself is unique, as it is constructed from more than 14,000 slabs of coral from nearby ocean reefs. The building and its grounds were made a National Historic Landmark in the 1960s.
Not far from Honolulu is Pearl Harbor, the site of a major American naval base and the target of Japanese bombing in 1942, marking the entry of America into World War II. Today, the site houses a memorial and museum commemorating the loss of life and sacrifice of the people of Oahu and U.S.A. naval personnel. Though located outside of the city, Pearl Harbor is easily accessed from Honolulu vacation rentals by taxi, public transportation or rental car.
Art and Culture in Hawaii and Honolulu
Hawaii is known for its outdoor splendors, but it is also a cultural and artistic hub in the Pacific. The concentration of performing and visual arts venues in downtown makes enjoyment of them easy from your hub in one of the many Honolulu vacation rentals.
Honolulu is home to one of the oldest symphonies in the western part of the United States. The Honolulu Symphony is world-renowned and holidaymakers are encouraged to attend one of their performances.
While staying in a Honolulu vacation rental, travelers can also take advantage of traditional Hawaiian art and culture. Traditional performing arts can be viewed at the Diamond Heart Theater and the Hawaii Opera Theater, among other, smaller venues. Traditional Hawaiian visual art can be enjoyed at the Honolulu Museum of Art as well as at the Hawaii State Art Museum.
Excursions in and around Honolulu

Honolulu is synonymous with the worldwide fame of Waikiki Beach. Known for its white sand beaches, clear water and ideal surfing conditions, Waikiki Beach is a popular destination for locals and holidaymakers alike. The beach is accessed publically in many locations and is comprised of eight sections. Surfing, swimming, sand combing or relaxing in the sun – Waikiki Beach has it all!
Honolulu is also home to a plethora of activities further inland. Diamond Head State Monument (or Leahi as it is known in Hawaiian) is located directly behind the skyline of downtown Honolulu and offers panoramic views over the city. The area is ideal for hiking and enjoying the tropical flora and fauna of the island. The park is comprised of a large crater containing shiny calcite crystals, which were originally mistaken for diamonds, thereby giving the monument its name.
