During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Kukaniloko Birthing Stones
This is the most sacred site in central Oahu. Two rows of 18 lava rocks once flanked a central birthing stone, where women of ancient Hawaii gave birth to potential alii (royalty). The rocks, according to Hawaiian belief, held the power to ease the labor pains of childbirth. Birth rituals involved 48 chiefs who pounded drums to announce the arrival of newborns likely to become chiefs. Children born here were taken to the now-destroyed Holonopahu Heiau in the pineapple field, where chiefs ceremoniously cut the umbilical cord.Used by Oahu's alii for generations of births, the pohaku (rocks), many in bowl-like shapes, now lie strewn in a grove of trees that stands in a pineapple field here. Some think the site also may have served ancient astronomers -- like a Hawaiian Stonehenge. Petroglyphs of human forms and circles appear on some of the stones. The Wahiawa Hawaiian Civic Club recently erected two interpretive signs, one explaining why this was chosen as a birth site and the other telling how the stones were used to aid in the birth process.
Hawaiian Railway
All aboard! This is a train ride back into history. Between 1890 and 1947, the chief mode of transportation for Oahu's sugar mills was the Oahu Railway and Land Co.'s narrow-gauge trains. The line carried not only equipment, raw sugar, and supplies, but also passengers from one side of the island to the other. You can relive those days every Sunday with a 1 1/2-hour narrated ride through Ko Olina Resort and out to Makaha. As an added attraction, on the second Sunday of the month, you can ride on the nearly 100-year-old, custom-built parlor-observation car belonging to Benjamin F. Dillingham, founder of the Oahu Railway and Land Co.; the fare is $15 (no kids under 13), you must reserve in advance.
Bishop Museum
This forbidding, four-story Romanesque lava-rock structure (it looks like something out of a Charles Addams cartoon) holds safe the world's greatest collection of natural and cultural artifacts from Hawaii and the Pacific. It's a great rainy-day diversion; plan to spend about half a day here. The museum was founded by a Hawaiian princess, Bernice Pauahi, who collected priceless artifacts and in her will instructed her husband, Charles Reed Bishop, to establish a Hawaiian museum "to enrich and delight" the people of Hawaii. The institution is now home to Dr. Yosihiko Sinoto, the last in a proud line of adventuring archaeologists who explored more of the Pacific than Captain Cook and traced Hawaii's history and culture through its fishhooks.The Bishop is jam-packed with acquisitions -- from insect specimens and ceremonial spears to calabashes and old photos of topless hula dancers. A visit here will give you a good basis for understanding Hawaiian life and culture. You'll see the great feathered capes of kings, the last grass shack in Hawaii, preindustrial Polynesian art, even the skeleton of a 50-foot sperm whale. There are also seashells, koa-wood bowls, nose flutes, and Dr. Sinoto's major collection of fishhooks.Hula performances take place daily at 11am and 2pm, and various Hawaiian crafts, such as feather-working and quilting, are demonstrated. This daily cultural event is worth making time for. For a look at spectacular artifacts such as the ancient feather cloak of King Kamehameha and other items not shown to the general public, take the "Behind the Scenes Tour," offered weekdays at 1:30pm for an additional fee of $15.
Hyatt Regency Waikiki
This is one of Waikiki's biggest hotels, a $100 million project sporting two 40-story towers and covering nearly an entire city block, just across the street from the Diamond Head end of Waikiki Beach. Some may love the location, but others will find this behemoth too big and impersonal -- you can get lost just trying to find the registration desk. The second-floor lobby is huge, decorated in koa and wrapped around an atrium that rises 40 floors from the ground level. It's filled with the squawks of parrots, tumbling waterfalls, and traffic noise from busy Kalakaua Avenue outside.The guest rooms are spacious and luxuriously furnished. But please, when room rates start at $265 a night, do they have to charge you an extra $3.25 per package of coffee for the "free coffeemaker" in your room? (Not only that, but if you want to empty your minibar to use it as a fridge, the cost is $7!) The deluxe oceanview rooms overlooking Waikiki Beach are fabulous but can be noisy (traffic on Kalakaua is constant). For a few dollars more (well, actually more than a few dollars), you can upgrade to the Regency Club floors, where the rooms are nicer (and the coffee is free); you'll also be entitled to an expedited check-in and entry to a private rooftop sun deck and Jacuzzi and the Regency Club, which has concierge service all day and serves complimentary continental breakfast and afternoon pupu.Just opened in April 2001 is the 10,000-square-foot, two-story luxury Na Ho'ola Spa, with all the massage services, body treatments, and facials you can imagine.Facilities: 7 restaurants (including an indoor/outdoor grill overlooking the ocean; a Japanese restaurant; a steak-and-seafood house; and Ciao Mein, for creative family style Chinese and Italian cuisine; 4 bars (including a very elegant poolside bar); outdoor pool with a view of Waikiki; fitness room; brand-new elegant spa; Jacuzzi; children's program (Fri-Sat year-round and daily in summer); game room; concierge; activity desk; car-rental desk; business center; large shopping arcade; salon; room service (6am-11pm); in-room massage; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; same-day laundry service and dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.
Ohana Royal Islander
This is about as close as you can get to the beach and still pay budget prices: The sand is just across the street and through the beach access walkway. The elegant lobby of this boutique hotel gives it the look of a luxury hotel. The rooms are small -- don't try to squeeze in a third person -- but decorated in the same tasteful fashion that characterizes all Ohana Hotels. Ask for room 901; it's high enough up for a view of the ocean and the park and, as a corner unit, roomier. You can request coffeemakers from housekeeping, or just bop down to the lobby in the morning, where complimentary coffee awaits. Since the Royal Islander is such a small hotel, it shares some services with the beachfront Outrigger Reef across the street, such as a swimming pool and spillover parking. Dozens of restaurants are within a 5-minute walk.
Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach
The same value and quality that we've come to expect in every Outrigger hotel are definitely in evidence here, only multiplied by a factor of 10. Even the standard rooms in this 16-story oceanfront hotel are large and comfortable. And the prime beachfront location and loads of facilities help make this one of the chain's most attractive properties. The guest rooms are big and comfortable, all with huge closets, roomy bathrooms, and plenty of amenities, plus a spacious lanai; the price is entirely dependent on the view. Among the hotel's restaurants is Duke's Canoe Club, a wonderful spot right on the beach where great island-style seafood and steaks are complemented by Hawaiian entertainment.Facilities: 5 restaurants; 3 bars; showroom with nightly entertainment; giant outdoor pool; fitness center; Jacuzzi; watersports equipment rentals; year-round children's program; concierge; activity desk; car-rental desk; business center; large shopping arcade; salon; limited room service (7am-2pm and 5-9:45pm); babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; laundry service; dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.
