In the middle of downtown Honoulu, about one hour from the Ko Olina Beach Villas, sits Iolani Palace. It is the only royal building in the United States. The Palace is an ever-present reminder of the royal heritage of the Hawaiian Islands.
Iolani Palace offers a docent-guided tour or a self-guided audio tour. Both options include a tour of the first and second floors of Iolani Palace. Learn through stories about the furnishings and Royal residents as you tour the first floor state rooms and second floor private quarters.
For a small, additional fee you can explore the basement gallery exhibits. The basement gallery includes an exhibit of select treasures from the Royal collection and an exhibit about the restoration of Iolani Palace and historic photographs.
Tour options vary based on the day of the week and the time. Check out http://www.iolanipalace.org/Visit/ToursAdmission.aspx for more information.
