Mauna ʻAla — Royal Mausoleum — Attraction in Honolulu

COME PAY YOUR DEEP RESPECTS TO THE SOCIALLY CONSCIOUS KINGS AND QUEENS OF HAWAII IN RECOGNITION OF THEIR INSPIRATIONAL, LASTING CONTRIBUTIONS. High up in Nuuanu Valley is sacred land. Here the kings and queens along other members of the royal Hawaiian family and predominate associates are at their final resting place. Most of the royals were deeply committed Christian's, with a ferverent desire to loving serve their Hawaiian people.

The Curator of these hallowed grounds asks that all who come respectfully honor the Mana (the spirit) of this sacred space.

These benevolent forward-looking royals left remarable legacies, which their peoples enjoy today. They built churches, fostered learning and education by establishng prominent schools. They attended to the health care needs of those under their charge by erecting leading hospitals. They left parks and gardens for all to enjoy.

For more details about the direct contributions of the respective monarchs, please visit my various posts. These include: the Queen's Medical Center POB 1 (Queen Emma), the Physicians Building POB 2 (Queen Emma), along with the Cathedral of Saint Andrew (all established by Queen Emma). Kapi'olani Regional Park (Queen Kapi'olani) and Queen Kapi'olani Garden are other entries. Kapi'olani Community College (Queen Kapi'olani) and K.C.C. Farmer's Market are still other contributions.

Please also visit my "King Kamehameha State" and "King Kamehameha Celebration" entries. I believe, they will introduce YOU to some of the very popular...

Not really displayed for tourist, it really is a royal cemetery. I believe while you're in Hawai'i, it's good to come by and pay your respects to their Kings and Queens since they STILL take care of native Hawaiians. We were fortunate that the Curator, Doni Leināʻala Hanuna Pahukoa Chong, came out to greet us and shared the history of the Royals, Hawai'i, and the Royal Mausoleum grounds. She also shared recent events that was held there. We learned so much from her and made sure that our visit was respectful.

I wish and hope that our visit is similar to others. I think this was one of my favorite part of my visit in Hawai'i. I love our experiences here and I hope that everyone truly learn Hawai'i's history...

This is a truly special place, a must-experience for any respectful visitor seeking deeper connection. Walking these grounds, you'll feel the palpable history and rich mana. Doni, the dedicated curator, generously shares her spirit and knowledge, illuminating the profound significance of this unique land. If you yearn to learn about Hawaiian history, culture, and honor its ancestors, this is an essential destination. Notably, it's the only place where the Hawaiian flag flies solo, a powerful symbol of its heritage. Mahalo, Doni, for an unforgettable and enlightening experience. Kristi...
