Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

Experience Oahu’s most thrilling sights on one incredible tour!

From the Aloha Tower to Diamond Head, from glittering Hanauma Bay to the pristine Koolau Mountains, from Sacred Falls and the breathtaking North Shore to the emotional power of Pearl Harbor, nobody shows you all of Oahu’s iconic sights like Blue Hawaiian—the only helicopter tour company serving all of Hawaii. Plus, on Oahu, only Blue Hawaiian flies the 21stcentury, quiet-technology Eco-Star, the world’s most advanced touring helicopter. So forget about sitting in a tour bus or rental car and fighting traffic for hours. Give Blue Hawaiian just 50 blissful minutes of your time, and you’ll see all of Oahu— the way it should be seen.

“Hawaii’s premier helicopter tour company”

Shinbar

The tradition of Obon season lies in the Buddhist practice of welcoming back the spirits of ancestors generally from August 13-16. A traditional lantern is set up to light the way and food is prepared for ancestors’ arrival and stay.

Enjoy local food and be sure to try your hand at the bon dance! Here are just a handful: • July 4-5: Moili‘ili Hongwanji Hawaii Betsuin in the old Varsity Theatre parking lot at 1100 University Ave. 6-10:30 p.m. July 4 & 5-10:30 p.m. July 5. 808949-1659, moiliilihongwanji.org. • July 12-13: Shinshu Kyokai Mission at 1631 S.

but a visit to downtown Honolulu best illustrates the state’s unusual place in history. It’s the only one to have once been ruled by its own monarchy. At the cross section of South King Street and Punchbowl, visit Ali‘iolani Judiciary Building with the statue of Kamehameha the Great in front, then cross Punchbowl to Kawaiaha‘o Church and Mission Houses Museum.

Architecture buffs will find a treasure trove of jewels in Honolulu’s Capital District of which ‘Iolani Palace is a great example. Three architects were employed in its design, which features double lanai (porches) lined with Corinthian columns. It was the first building in Honolulu to have electricity.

commissioned by Kamehameha V who died before it was finished. King Kalakaua dedicated the building two years later in 1874. This palace, meant to be a place of grandeur for the monarchy, was the site of its dissolution on January 17, 1893. The churches of downtown Honolulu are destinations in their own right. Kawaiaha‘o Church, on the corner of Punchbowl and S. King Streets, was built by the first missionaries to settle in Honolulu. Its walls are made of coral rock and it is the burial site of King William Lunalilo and his parents. St. Andrew’s Cathedral, located next to Washington Place, was built by the Anglican Church, using stones that were shipped from England. Many of Hawai‘i’s monarchs worshiped here. Both still function as houses of worship and all are welcome to attend Sunday morning services.

Catch Your Thrills

Rev up your adrenaline as you get behind the wheel of an electric kart at the indoor Podium Raceway. After a short intro, gear up, then hit the gas, easing into tricky hairpin turns, then racing down the straightaway at speeds of up to 45mph. Try the new Cosmic Racing, nightly from 6 p.m. It’s awesome fun for all ages!

With names such as Da Flowrider, Tornado and Raging River, you know you’re in for a fun day at Wet’n’Wild, Kapolei’s 29-acre tropical waterslide park. All ages can enjoy a leisurely float ride in the Kapolei Kooler and swim in a simulated beach environment. It’s fun for the whole family. Experience a thrill of another kind—the kind that makes your hair stand on end—with Oahu Ghost Tours. Visit our haunted places on daily tours; Waikiki pick ups are available.

Explore O‘ahu

Unless you intend to wing it, travel requires careful planning in order to make the most of each day—be sure to include a few days of relaxation too! Turn the pages and make special note of our top sights. Also see the backcover fold-out for O‘ahu’s top 10 attractions. Exploring Chinatown is a must, page 102, as well as the North Shore, page 122. Whether you’re a history buff or not, the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites is a definite must visit; page 110.

courtesy

Battleship Missouri Memorial

One way to visit the Arizona Memorial is via Hawaii Duck Tours. Sign up for the Pearl Harbor Duck Tour and ride on a fully restored, amphibious WWII DUKW or ‘‘Duck.’’ A limited number of tickets for the Arizona Memorial are available, as well as a stop at the Battleship Missouri Memorial. Additional tours aboard the Duck are available. Park Hawaii, and you’ll still wish you had more time. See the 300,000-gallon aquarium housing Hawai‘i’s native sharks; learn about dolphins at the Dolphin Cove Show; laugh out loud at the Kolohe Kai Sea Lion Show; hear trainers as they share facts about threatened penguins; and there’s so much more to do! You can even interact with dolphins, rays and sea lions. Ask about it! Conveniently located in Waikiki are Waikiki Aquarium and Honolulu Zoo. Be sure to visit these gateways to the animal world as well.

PHOTO TOUR Tips & Pics

O‘ahu’s geographical features and tropical locations are a photographer’s dream come true. Blue Hawaii Photo Tours caters to photographers in search of that inspirational shot. A professional photographer guides each tour, sharing Hawai‘i’s culture and history, and provides expert tips to help guests capture their own unique images that tell a personal story. Limited to seven adults.

ON THE ROAD Take the Wheel

In order to explore O‘ahu from Makapu‘u Lighthouse to Turtle Bay and Kaena Point to Barber’s Point, you’ll need a car. Tip: Even though it looks like you can drive around the entire island in one continuous loop, you can’t. You can only access everything south of the Wai‘anae Mountains via the H1 Freeway/Hwy. 93. So take your time.

The two types of sea turtles observed close to shore most often are the green sea turtle and hawksbill sea turtle. It’s incredible to see these creatures up close, but keep in mind that when they come on shore, they are resting. The Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) urges people to let them rest undisturbed, keeping a six- to 10-foot buffer between you and the turtle. Federal and state wildlife laws differ in some respect, however, feeding or touching turtles in any way is considered a disturbance, and is therefore illegal. Info: hawaii.gov/dlnr.

Turn up the fun a notch

Feel the need for speed? Want thrilling ocean action? Get wet via a host of hurry-scurry activities that will send you soaring, skiing, sailing, surfing and more—it’s fast and furious fun that could even find you flying! H2O Sports lets you fly like a superhero—think Marvel’s Iron Man! H2O Sports is the only place in Hawai‘i where you can do just that via the water-propelled Jetlev Jet Pack. A certified flight instructor gets you up in the air—up to 30 feet high. Wow! Now that’s a vacation memory and photo op! Other activities include parasailing, jet skiing, scuba diving, surf lessons, plus banana boat and bumper boat rides. Snorkel pristine Hanauma Bay too. Hawaii Water Sports Center has a full lineup of ocean activities available in one place: bumper tube or banana boat rides, jet skiing, wakeboarding, parasailing, waterskiing, snorkeling, surfing or scuba diving. Take a surfing lesson at an exclusive surf spot where you can have your own private waves! Carve up the water and ride the wake on a wakeboarding activity behind the luxury Nautiques complete with air towers. Ask about the “3 Ride Special” for savings. At Fly Hi Oahu, it’s all about escaping gravity and walking in air—and it’s all done atop a flyboard. The pros can teach people of all shapes, sizes and athletic ability to glide through the air like a superhero, or at least make you feel like you’re on a magic carpet. You’ll be up in the air and flying before you know it! Koko Head Thriller is a new activity by the folks at Hawaii Water Sport Center that zips you across the water aboard its new High Tech Sea Blade 30. It’s specially designed for Hawai‘i’s waters to reduce the slamming, and keep the vessel “above” the water. The wild and beautiful Ka Iwi coastline is your playground with stops at caves, blowholes and Halona Cove. Get ready, hold on and prepare to get wet!

Gold Certified by the Hawai‘i Ecotourism Assoc., Atlantis has recycled sunken ships and other objects to create undersea “homes for fish” and contributed to the growth of marine life. Transportation is included from select Waikiki Hotels. Dolphin Star—a member of Hawai‘i’s Dolphin Smart program—takes you to see wild dolphins off the sunny and pristine Wai‘anae Coast. Ride aboard the eco-friendly catamaran, a 65-foot, two-deck power vessel designed with dolphin watching in mind.

See schools of vibrant butterfly fish; black-striped manini, or convict tang; the aptly named trumpetfish; pastel-colored surgeonfish; and multi-colored parrotfish. Restrooms, showers are available bayside. Open 6 a.m.-7 p.m. daily; closed on Tuesdays. Fees: $1 per vehicle, $7.50/person, 808-396-4229. Tip: Go early to avoid long lines and a full lot.
