WANT TO WALK ALONG "THE ARCH OF HEAVEN?" Kapi'olani" in Hawaiian translates to."the Arch of Heaven." King Kalakaua gifted this landscape, now a well known park to his Queen Kapi'olani, and, park namesake. NOW, it seems to this writer that the two walkways which run the perimeter and meet near the base of Diamond Head, form a massive arch. Was this accidental, OR by careful, thoughtful design?
Kapiolani Regional Park shares the mystical shoreline with Waikiki Beaches. And, it sits at the base of famous, iconic Diamond Head.
Stroll through the park (a part of the Lei of Parks), which stretches from the foot of Diamond Head across the well-known iconic landscapes along the southern regions on the Island of Oahu (which in Hawaiian means "gathering place") to Aloha Tower. Be amazed with the wide-ranging activities (including hula shows) on it's premises along with the stunning natural beauty of diverse trees, flowers and scenery, which make up this pathway.
You may also wish to plan a visit to the Kilohana Hula Show on Kapi'olani Regional Park premises (which replaces the Kodak Hula Show of long ago) near the base of Diamond Head and across from the Honolulu Zoo). Performances take place every Sunday through Wednesday from 9:30 - 10:30 AM (adjacent to the Waikiki Shell). Come, kick off your morning with some local cultural entertainment with it's insights and fun. And, test YOUR hula skills.
