During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
Royal Mausoleum
In the cool uplands of Nuuanu, on a 3.7-acre patch of sacred land dedicated in 1865 -- and never surrendered to the United States -- stands the Royal Mausoleum, the final resting place of King Kalakaua, Queen Kapiolani, and 16 other Hawaiian royals. Only the Hawaiian flag flies over this grave, a remnant of the kingdom. Allow about an hour for your visit.
Dream Cruises
If you aren't lucky enough to be in Hawaii during humpback-whale season (roughly Dec-Apr), you can go dolphin-watching instead. Dream Cruises offers year-round dolphin-watching cruises that check out friendly pods of bottle-nosed and spinner dolphins near Yokahama Bay on the northern end of Oahu. This might be your only chance to get "up-close and personal" with these protected marine mammals. During whale season, the company guarantees that if you don't see whales, you can sail again for free. Departing from the Kewalo Basin is a range of cruises, including a snorkel/splash tour that anchors off Waikiki for snorkeling, swimming, and lunch; and a 2-hour sunset dinner-and-dancing cruise with views of the Waikiki skyline.
Ohana Islander Waikiki
If you're looking for a moderately priced hotel in the midst of Waikiki, here's your place. In 1997, the Outrigger chain completely gutted the old Pleasant Holiday Isle Hotel, and then dropped more than $7 million for renovations to bring the property up to Outrigger standards. In 2003, the chain re-branded the property from an Outrigger to the more moderately priced "Ohana" brand. The location on Lewers and Kalakaua is fabulous: just across the street from the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, and 1 block to the beach. An escalator takes you up to the glass-encased lobby, with the pool at one end and shops and a Starbuck's Cafe at the other. The rooms, which are all interconnected, range in size from 240 to 342 square feet and have been refurbished in Berber carpets, with Italian tile entryways, blond island-style furniture, and matching wallpaper and artwork by Hawaiian artists. All rooms have small semicircular balconies and either a king or two double beds.
Royal Hawaiian
This shocking-pink oasis, hidden away among blooming gardens within the concrete jungle of Waikiki, is a symbol of luxury. Built by Matson steamship lines and inspired by popular silent-screen star Rudolph Valentino (The Sheik), the Spanish-Moorish "Pink Palace" opened in 1927 on the same spot where Queen Kaahumanu had her summer palace -- one of the best stretches of Waikiki Beach.Entry into the hotel is past lush gardens, with their spectacular banyan tree, into the black terrazzo-marble lobby, which features hand-woven pink carpets and giant floral arrangements. My heart was won over by the rooms in the Historic Wing, which contain carved wooden doors, four-poster canopy beds, flowered wallpaper, and period furniture. Historic touches abound, including Hawaiian craft displays (Hawaiian quilts, leis, weaving, and more) by local artists every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Another plus: 24-hour medical services on property.The Surf Room is known for its elaborate seafood buffets; the casual Beach Club features an oceanfront patio that's a great place to start your day. The Royal Hawaiian luau is done in grand style on Monday nights. The hotel's Mai Tai Bar is one of the most popular places in Waikiki for its namesake drink, which supposedly originated here.Facilities: 2 restaurants; landmark bar; good-size outdoor pool; preferential tee times at Makaha Resort and Golf Club (about an hour away); nearby fitness room (next door at the Sheraton Waikiki); excellent full-service spa (Abhasa), one of Waikiki's best; watersports equipment rentals; bike rental; excellent year-round children's program ($30 a day, $20 for half-day); game room; multilingual concierge desk; activity desk; car-rental desk; business center; elegant shopping arcade; 24-hour room service; in-room massage; babysitting; 24-hour laundry service and dry cleaning (except Sun).
Ohana Waikiki Village
Deep in the heart of Ohana country (they seem to own Lewers St.) is another recommendable link in the chain. The Ohana Waikiki Village is less than 2 blocks from the beach and in the midst of Waikiki's restaurant, shopping, and nightlife scene. The Village is considered a moderate Ohana hotel: The rooms are small but cozy and recently received new bedspreads, curtains, carpet, and a fresh paint job. There are no in-room coffeemakers, but you can get your morning cup at the breakfast-only coffee shop. The pool sits in the middle of the open-air lobby, which makes for interesting people-watching as you work on your tan. There's an Internet connection in the lobby that will hook you up for $1 for 7 minutes. Families of three might consider the studio kitchenettes, as the hotel rooms sleep only two. Helpful hint: If you prefer a king bed, request one when reserving your room, as the hotel has a limited number of them.
