See the remains of King Kamehameha's royal palace, tour a garden of native plants and view the burial sites of Hawaii's royalty. YOUR WALKING TOUR Your guide greets you with a chant at the sacred Hauola birthing stone, a place of creation and healing. Walk along the harbor to the remains of Hawaii?s first permanent building, Kamehameha?s Brick Palace, built in 1803. Continue on through an area that was once filled with taro patches to Baldwin House a symbol of the missionaries who flocked to Hawaii. Travel down Luakini Street, once home to immigrants who toiled in the cane fields. Head down Waine?e Street to Waiola Cemetery, where your guide explains the significance of the site?s mountain views to Hawaiian chiefs.
