The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Honolulu, Hawaii (HI)
The mere mention of Hawaii is enough to prompt visions of grass skirts and colorful cocktails with tiny umbrellas. While you will find some kitsch in Honolulu, you’ll also find art museums, bike paths, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Popular Waikiki Beach has soft sands and great surf. For majestic Oahu views scramble to the top of Diamond Head – a 350-acre volcanic crater. Historic structures like Iolani Palace and Ali'iolani Hale are worth a visit on a non-beach day.

My husband brought two of his friends, leaving our house at 4 am. to the pier They got there in time to see fish being unloaded from the fishing vessels by crane. To see the auction, the only one from Maine to Japan, with buyers from local restaurants and as far away as Japan was exciting! Samples of the fish were available for buyers to feel. It wasn't clear what the buyers were looking for but two identical fish could sell for a big difference. The guys wished they could have or buy the cut samples but for hygenic reasons they were tossed out. One of his friends, an avid Alaskan fisherman, thought this was the highlight of his trip! Be sure to dress warmly. One only wore shorts and had to go outside frequently to warm up.

Since opening in January 1999, the Battleship Missouri Memorial has attracted more than 8-million visitors from around the world with a fascinating tour experience showcasing the USS Missouri’s unique place in history. Located a mere ship’s length from the USS Arizona Memorial, the Mighty Mo completes a historical visitor experience that begins with the “day of infamy” and sinking of the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and ends with Japan’s formal surrender aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay on September 2, 1945. The USS Missouri had an astounding career over five decades and three wars – World War II, the Korean War, and Desert Storm – after which it was decommissioned and donated to the USS Missouri Memorial Association, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Association operates the Battleship Missouri Memorial as a historic attraction and oversees her care and preservation with the support of visitors, memberships, grants, and donations.

One needs a DOD ID to get on Ford Island on their own. Just past the Navy Lodge, on the right side is the Memorial. It has the same significance as the ARIZONA. Service men are entombed in the ship. Gave their lives for our freedom. After, walk across the street and you will see the Luke military housing. Charming cottages. USS UTAH is not on the shuttle from PH/ARIZONA. The free shuttle runs about every 20 minutes and has 2 stops...the USS MISSOURI(Mighty Mo) and the Pacific Aviation Museum. I highly recommend both. Wear comfortable footwear on the Mighty Mo, not flip flops. Coming out of the entrance of the Mighty Mo, on the right, is the USS OKLAHOMA Memorial. Another worthwhile viewing. Return service via the shuttle. So much important history on beautiful Ford Island. Proud to call Las Vegas HOME.
