Script

00:07 Honolulu, a tropical island paradise, is the capital

00:11 of Hawaii. Although it has long been a convenient stopover on the way to the

00:16 other Hawaiian Islands this city is so much more than that. Honolulu

00:23 is a city with stunning wilderness areas, a rich history

00:26 and of course beautiful beaches which are a great place to start your adventures.

00:31 Kick off your shoes and head to Waikiki,

00:35 or for something a little less crowded, try Ala Moana Beach Park, or Kailua Beach.

00:44 Get active and try stand up paddleboarding, a popular watersport that

00:48 originated here

00:49 or learn to surf on the waves for which this area

00:53 is famous. When you’ve had enough sun and sand,

00:57 head downtown to admire the statue of King Kamehameha,

01:01 the man who unified the Hawaiian Islands. Visit the Iolani Palace,

01:07 the only royal palace in the United States and then stop

01:11 at the Halekoa that once housed the Royal Guard.

01:14 For history of a more modern kind, visit Pearl Harbor.

01:18 You can still see remains of the US Fleet that was severely damaged by an air

01:23 raid in the final days of 1941.

01:29 Learn more about this fateful attack

01:31 and how it changed the course of the war at the Aviation Museum.

01:35 No matter where you are in Honolulu, you cannot miss the Diamond Head Volcano,

01:40 or the Le’ahi as it’s known by the locals.

01:43 Take the trail to the rim to enjoy the views of the island.

01:47 Take the kids to Kapi’olani Park,

01:51 home to ancient banyan trees and the Honolulu Zoo.

01:58 At the end of the day of adventuring, head back downtown

02:02 to take in a hula dancing show and enjoy the local cuisine

02:05 which offers the best blend of Asian and American flavors.

02:09 Refreshing, relaxing and always beautiful,

02:12 you’ll never forget your time in Honolulu.
