Walk & Learn about Hawaiian Culture by Hōkūpa'a ($) Culture Preservation Family Friendly Transportation Upon Request Easy Paid Activity A cultural walking tour through downtown Honolulu comes alive with storytelling of the past and present. Path to Ho‘okipa is following the footprints of Hawaiian Monarchs who long ago lived in Honolulu and established laws for the well being of society. The historic buildings stand as reminders of their accomplishments and are relevant to this day. We begin by telling the story of the great King of O‘ahu, Ma’ilikukahi, whose laws directly resulted in our present practice of ho‘okipa – hospitality Hawaiian style. An example is The Law of Nī‘aupi‘o Kolowalu, that all must feed anyone who came to their door. Consequently, no one went hungry. Path to Ho‘okipa is also an opportunity for you to give back to the community as proceeds support local charities.
