Before starting your journey on a cultural and historical walk, your guide will create a sense of place with a mele (Hawaiian song) composed by Queen Lili'uokalani. It is a tradition to welcome our guests.

Walk outside and learn about the two most beloved royalty of Hawai'i: Queen Lili'uokalani and Princess Ka'iulani. Your cultural guide will describe where they kept their homes in Waikk and discover through song and story why they loved their homes. Along the waking path, you will hear the stories behind the Hawaiian names of the streets and experience a hula (dance) special to that place. You will even hear the legend of the pueo (owl) associated with the nearby park.

Once you leave the park, the stories of Princess Ka'iulani begin. As with the Queen, your guide will tell stories and sing songs of a time our Princess lived in Waikk. Visit her stately statue and walk over to enter the Princess Ka'iulani Hotel, where you can feel her presence. Before her stunning portrait, you will hear historical facts about her aspirations and accomplishments for her people.
