Schedule of Events

We will tour the last royal residence in the US, built in 1882 by King Kalakaua. Iolani Palace was the home of Hawaii’s last reigning monarchs and served as the official royal residence and the residence of the Kingdom’s political and social life until the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893.

We will explore Hawaii's capital city, visit the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and see the shops, drinks, and bites along the way!

We will rent a car to explore Oahu's famous North Shore, from its prime surfing locations and beaches, to authentic local food trucks and shave ice.

A visit to the most famous pineapple plantation in the US.

We will visit the Pearl Harbor National Monument, USS Arizona Memorial, and other visitor centers related to December 7, 1941.

We will relax on the beach at my hotel and enjoy a drink under the Moana Banyan tree. In the center of the Moana Surfrider’s courtyard stands a large Indian banyan tree which was planted in 1904 by Jared Smith, Director of the Department of Agriculture Experiment Station. When planted, the tree was nearly seven feet tall and about seven years old. It now stands 75 feet high and spans 150 feet across the courtyard. In 1979, the historic tree was one of the first to be listed on Hawaii’s Rare and Exceptional Tree List. It has also been selected by the Board of Trustees of the America the Beautiful Fund as the site for a Hawaii Millennium Landmark Tree designation, which selects one historic tree in each state for protection in the new millennium.
