• Diamond Head State Monument - The crater, also known as Diamond Head Lookout, served as a strategic military observation point in the early 1900s. Covering over 475 acres (190 ha) including the crater’s interior and outer slopes, it was an effective defensive lookout due to its panoramic views of Waikīkī and the south shore of Oahu.
• Halona Blowhole - This natural marvel on Oahu was formed by volcanic activity thousands of years ago. Halona Blowhole occasionally shoots seawater up to 30 feet in the air as waves pass through underwater lava tubes.

• Makapu‘u Point - Makapuʻu Point, the easternmost point on Oʻahu, is located in the Makapuʻu region, 12 miles east of Honolulu.

Home to the Makapuʻu Point Light, established in 1909 and automated in 1974, it contains one of the world’s largest Fresnel lenses. Neal McHenry notes that the process to create another 12-foot (3.7 m) high Hyper-Radiant Fresnel Lens is no longer known. The lighthouse is lit by a single 1000-watt 120-volt alternating current lamp, with a backup lamp that automatically rotates into place if needed. The lighthouse and surrounding area are owned by the U.S. Coast Guard. The location is also popular for ocean views, whale watching in winter, and seeing the neighboring islands of Molokai and Lanai. The first kiss scene in “50 First Dates” was filmed here.

• Iolani Palace - Iolani Palace, built in 1882 by King Kalakaua, is a restored symbol of Hawaiian national identity and the spiritual and physical epicenter of Hawaii. It was the home of Hawaii’s last reigning monarchs and the Kingdom’s political and social hub until the monarchy’s overthrow in 1893. A National Historic Landmark since 1962, it is the only official royal residence in the U.S. and one of Hawaii’s most recognizable buildings. The palace has been meticulously restored to its former grandeur, reflecting the era when King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani walked its halls.
• King Kamehameha Statue - The King Kamehameha I statue, located in front of Ali’iolane Hale in Downtown Honolulu, honors one of Hawaii’s most revered rulers, Kamehameha the Great, who unified the islands and welcomed westerners. Kamehameha, a respected warrior and leader, united Hawaii into one kingdom in 1810 and promoted foreign trade and technology while avoiding foreign rule. The 18-foot bronze statue depicts him extending his hand in a welcoming gesture of aloha. Ali’iolani Hale, originally commissioned by King Kamehameha as the royal palace, was built in the Italian Renaissance Revival style and now houses the Supreme Court of Hawaii and the Judiciary History Center.
• Leonard’s Bakery Malasada Truck - In June 1882, Arsenio and Amelia DoRego arrived in Maui, Hawai’i from San Miguel Island, Portugal, aboard the British sailing ship ‘Monarch’ to work in the sugar cane fields.

The bakery thrived, and Leonard’s mother suggested making malasadas for Shrove Tuesday, a Portuguese tradition. Despite initial doubts, the malasadas were a hit, sparking a lasting demand in Hawaii.
