Hawaii's world class maritime museum guests will enjoy a close up view
of the Aloha Tower and a chance to experience Hawaii's largest maritime
attraction. Exhibits include whaling, Hawaii's Story on the Sea, surfing
displays/videos, full-rigged sailing ship and more. Learn about Hawaii's
maritime history from it's discovery by Polynesian navigators more than
1500 years ago, contact with Western culture, through whaling and until
the present day. King Kalakaua's Boathouse Museum has exhibits on the
history of surfing, canoe racing, and the natural world that are all part
of Hawaii's maritime history. Visit two famous ships from two very different
periods of Hawaii's history: Hokule'a and The Falls of Clyde. In the whaling
exhibit you'll see a rare Humpback Whale skeleton and learn about the
evolution of human's relationship with whales from the 19th century to
the whale watchers of today.
