Queen Kapiolani Statue in Waikiki Hawaii near Queens Beach

ALOHA!

The Queen Kapiolani Statue at Kapiolani Park in Waikiki honors the Hawaiian royal queen who is remembered for her compassion and support of Hawaiian health and education. You can visit Iolani Palace in downtown Honolulu to see what Queen Kapiolani’s bedroom was like when she lived there. She was born on the Big Island of Hawaii and spent her final years living a quiet life in Waikiki.

Her name can be seen across Waikiki, including Kapiolani Park, Queens Beach, and the Queen Kapiolani Hotel. Kapiolani Blvd is just outside Waikiki, running through Ala Moana and more.

The statue of Queen Kapiʻolani is located along a sidewalk right off the Kalakaua Avenue on the non-beach side of Kapiolani Park. It can be a quick stop to see it, and it’s an added excuse to further walk around Kapiolani Park!

I have a short walking route near Queens Beach below that starts at the queen statue!

Waikiki walking route

Coming from Kuhio Beach, you’ll continue walking on Kalakaua Avenue past the Waikiki Wall. You’ll pass the surfer on a wave statue, and keep walking along Kalakaua Ave until you see a pedestrian crosswalk. Kapiolani Park is on both sides of Kalakaua Avenue, which is a main road that goes through Waikiki. The Queen Kapiolani Statue is on the inland side.

 

Stop #1: Queen Kapiolani Statue

👆 Aloha, Queen Kapiolani!

 

Stop #2: Kapiolani Park beach area

👆 Next you can walk back across the street to the beach side of Kapiolani Park. There’s a big grassy area with lots of shaded spots, which makes for a good spot to bring a blanket and take it easy with ocean views!

 

Stop #3: Queens Walkway

👆 Continue walking across the grass towards the ocean, you’ll arrive at the paved coastal path. Along with path is the Queens Walkway that juts out into the ocean so you can get more amazing views! Right nearby is Barefoot Beach Cafe so you can make a stop for food with ocean views! This is also an area where you can watch the Friday night fireworks, although it is a distant view.

 

You can see more Hawaiian royalty statues around Waikiki, including Queen Emma and Prince Kuhio. Be on the lookout!
