Photography, including flash and video taping, is permitted. And the main purpose of the museum is to serve and represent the interests of Native Hawaiians in line with ecotourism standards.

New Science Adventure Center! The Bishop Museum’s 17,000-square-foot science center is unique in the world, with a three-story walk-in volcano with hidden rooms and lava eruptions, and a 30,000-gallon aquarium with interactive activities. We have an interactive exhibition. Here you can see how science is intricately related to the natural environment and Hawaiian culture.

There are also ongoing activities to choose from throughout the day, including garden tours, Hawaiian music and dance, and planetarium shows such as “Living Stories,” “Explorers of Polynesia,” and “The Sky Tonight.” Take a break under the shade trees of a beautiful courtyard with well-kept lawns and plants native to Hawaii.

Visitors should anticipate congestion and arrive early. Tickets are free, but are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and may disappear by noon on a busy day. Strict security measures prohibit all bags and items that provide concealment. The website is full of information about the monument itself and the history of December 7, 1941.

Iolani Palace: This late 19th century palace in Honolulu was a Hawaiian monarchy royal palace. The palace reflects the tastes of its builder, King David Kalakaua, and the patron of art, Merrie Monarch. His sister’s successor, Queen Liliuokalani, was later imprisoned here when the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown. It was during her imprisonment that she composed an unforgettable farewell song, which later became Hawaii’s signature song, Aloha Oe. Most Friday nights, the Royal Hawaiian Band (the same band that introduced “Aloha Oe” to the American people) offers a free concert on the lawn in front of the palace.

A self-guided tour of the palace gallery is $ 6 per adult and $ 3 per child (Grand Tour (guided) is $ 20 for adults and $ 5 for children). The websites of friends at Iolani Palace are full of images and articles as well as tour information.

These recommendations on what to do on Oahu are mine Hawaii Eco Budget Guide to Oahu.. Here’s what one reader said about this book:

“I don’t know how much money I’ve saved. I think I’ve had more fun than your average tourist. I lived on Oahu for about three years in the early days of the Navy. I laughed at my fiancée. I did a lot during our trip compared to the three years I lived there … “

Evan, Bellingham, Washington

Another tip (from my “Blue Hawaii” chapter): After learning about Hawaiian marine life at the aquarium, rent one of the $ 9 snorkel sets a week from Snorkel Bob and enjoy the coral reefs on Oahu. Please give me! This is just one of the hundreds of free, low-cost things to do on Oahu.

Marula Fruits-African sake for wildlife, or a complete myth?

Are you familiar with the Marula tree? Otherwise, it’s a beautiful African tree that produces wonderful and delicious fruits! Apparently a delicious fruit that intoxicates elephants …? The story goes on for years … it has even become a liquor called “Amarula” for lovers (by the way, it’s very tasty like Baileys)! origin The story dates back to the 1970s (1974 to be exact).
