Waikīkī : Twelve Walks Through Time not only explores the history and culture of the ahupua’a - land division - of Waikīkī, but also opens new perceptions about Waikīkī. 

The walks take the reader from the pre-monarchial and monarchial periods to contemporary life in the ahupua’a of Waikīkī. As you weave along the streets of Waikīkī, you are encouraged to wear comfortable shoes and a hat, bring water, and visit the wahi pana – the sacred places. The mana, the spirit, of old Waikīkī is still here; as you walk with this guide in your hand, you will find it.

These routes visit not only Waikīkī beach, but also the neighborhoods beyond the beach area.
