Na Lehua Helele'i Memorial to Fallen Hawaiian Warriors, also called "Ka Lehua Helelei", that sits in front of the Army Museum of Hawaii in Fort DeRussy Park on the island of Oahu in Hawaii.
Local Hawaii artist Rocky Ka'iouliokahikikolo'Ehu Jensen was first approached about creating a memorial to fallen ancient Hawaiian warriors in 1978, but the project did not actually begin until several years later, and it was finally completed in 1999.
The memorial is carved out of five eight-foot lehua logs with the face of Hawaiian war god Kunuiakea - aka Ku - carved on the face of each log. The name of the memorial is "Na Lehua Helelei" which means "scattered lehua blossoms" in Hawaiian (petals of the lehua flower represent drops of blood from fallen warriors).

La Mariana Sailing Club
The second greatest tiki bar in the whole world! (The greatest being of course Fort Lauderdale's own Mai Kai.) Off the beaten path in Honolulu on Sand Island, this former yacht club is hidden amid industrial docks and warehouses in its very own jungle. Since 1957 they have been collecting vintage Polynesian decor discarded by Waikiki, so the place runneth over in retro tiki ambience that’s slapped together like a beachcomber’s shack. The mai tai's, zombies and pu pu were just right. So nice went twice!

The Valley of the Priests
Waimea Valley, The Valley of the Priests, has been a sacred place for more than 700 years of Native Hawaiian history, gaining its title around 1090 when the ruler of Oahu awarded the land to the k'huna nui.

Pu'uhonua Hona'una'u
"The City of Refuge" where kahunas dwelt and purified those who sought absolution after breaking kapu. Guarded by fearsome ki'i (tikis) and stone walls, bound by swaying palms and lava rock, it is a mysterious powerful place. And a national historical park on the Kona coast, Big Island, Hawai'i.
