Overview

Aloha and welcome to Honolulu, the capital and only city of the island paradise of Hawaii, the last state to become part of the United States of America.

Perfectly suited for discovery on foot, our self-guided audio tour allows you to set your own pace and explore at your leisure as you uncover the stories of this dynamic city.

On this tour you will learn about Honolulu's history during World War Two and see sights such as the Aloha Tower, one of Hawaii's most recognisable landmarks, the famous King Kamehameha statue and the great Iolani Palace.

Simply download our self-guided audio tour, plug in your headphones, open the map that comes with your download and head to the tour starting point. The tour will take approximately two hours, but you can pause the audio guide when needed. Grab a bite to eat or do some shopping along the way.

Please note that this tour is currently only available in English.
