I went there many years ago before there was any furniture in it. The history that the docent told was fascinating. If Hawaii ever opens to tourists freely, I want to go there again.

Royal dining room is my favorite!

We visited this Palace in February......loved it. Txs for the memories Luke and great video tour 👍

We visited Iolani Palace last year when we were in Hawaii. So beautiful, and the story of the royal family is both uplifting and terribly sad. We will definitely visit again next time we go to Hawaii.

I am jealous that you were there when it’s so empty. I love, love Hawaiian history and The Hawaiian islands. Thank you for your videos.

Mahalo. I go through the palace once each time I am in Honolulu. New additions frequently. I think everyone should take one day off the beach and visit this amazing place, steeped in Hawaiian History. Oakland CA 2022

Thanks for the tour, really interesting 👏

Hi Luke & family ! Now I know & recognize where so many "things & places" through Oahu get their names! Beautiful Palace 🌺🔆🌺

That was a great place to visit when we were there. I think they were still adding stuff as I don't remember a lot of that furniture. Next time we are there, have to check it out again. Going to have to book several weeks vacation to see all the stuff you are adding to my bucket list LOL. Thanks for the wonderful tour. Loved the commentary.

Beautiful, I would love to see this in person.

Thank you for an awesome tour of the ground and palace of the Iolani palace. I saw the place when I was just a little boy of 11. I love those mask.

I've been there a number of times and I never get tired of seeing you you did a great tour I didn't realize that that fenced-off area was the burial mounds I'll take a look at it when I get there next time

George Cole thank you! I didn't know that either but, a friend of mine suggested I cover those important areas in a future video. There's a Iolani Place mobile app that you can download on your phone that will talk about it too if you want to check it out or the www.iolanipalace.org web site too. =)

Fantastic masks! I have enjoyed all of your superb videos. Mahalo.

When I lived on the Big Island for a short time....I think it was the queen's voice I heard. Although on Big Island, and not Honolulu....I still think it was her voice at the bridge I was standing alone @ night.

I went to the Iolani place once on a school trip when I was living in hawaii.

Muito lindo esse Palácio e bem preservado, é um grande património histórico. Obrigado por nos mostrar.

It was a beautiful but heart-breaking video. Why someone feels they have the right to move into another country and depose and conquer the First Nations and original peoples is beyond me. I know here in Canada it sadly happened that way as well . Slowly there is getting to be a better understanding of First Nations here but it will take a long time and can never be what it once was. Thank you for this look at the Hawaiian monarchy . I wish I could see it for myself one day. Mahalo :)

When you do go, you will get an even fuller experience of what was done to Hawaii. It is so clear that the overthrow was illegal, there never ws a treaty of annexation to the US, Hawaii was a sovereign nation with treaties with England, France, Japan and several other countries. That is why Kalakaua became the first monarch to go around the world. I worked at the San Francisco CA Sheraton Palace and was shown Kalakaua's chair with his nameplate on it. I was also told that most likely he was murdered there. Who knows? A couple of decades later I went to the Sheraton Palace asking about the chair. Nobody knew anything about it. I snooped a bit, but didn't find it. Hmm.

So interesting. I never visited the palace when I lived there. Hopefully next time I am there I will be able to take the tour.

I lived In Hawai’i all my life but not on the same island tho...I’ve only been to the Palace twice but it was beautiful

MrHistory808 I have only been to the place twice also. This time and in grade school and I don't remember that field trip at all. My recent visit there I really enjoyed it! We always walk by but never go in. Glad you enjoyed your visits there! Thank you for watching! Stop by for another video anytime you have time! aloha =)

🌈🌺🤙🏼ALOHA from Big Island 😁

Amazing pictures and video!

Another great video! I actually don't remember how many times we've visited Iolani Palace! Some times we just go and walk around the grounds. I don't know why, but we always feel drawn there when ever we're in the islands. I tell everyone this is a "must see" when they ask me what to see when visiting Hawaii. Our last visit inside we couldn't walk up the staircase and I was disappointed. I don't know why, and it may not seem like much, but it was just another one of those feelings that I believe everyone should experience. I see some new things have been added since our last visit inside and I'm so glad they keep adding pieces to preserve it's history. Looking forward to our next visit!! Thanks again Luke!

Tom S do you remember if there was carpet on the stairs case? Iʻm not sure but Iʻm thinking they were trying to preserve the staircase or maybe itʻs a liability because some elder people might fall. We are lucky to have been able to walk up those stairs. Thanks for appreciating! =)

@@PhotoLukeHawaii I don't believe there was carpeting on the steps when we were able to use them back in the '90s. I remember going in the throne room and it was empty except for the thrones. I seem to remember that only the dining room and one bedroom was furnished and all the other rooms were barren. Will definitely have to visit next July (We have reservations at the Hale Koa and plane reservations will be next month!! :-) ).

Tom S thats what Cheryl was saying too about the carpet not being on the stairs. It was my first time there since grade school so I dont really remember anything. Wow so they have really been working on restoring everything there! If you can make it back there for another visit Im sure it will feel like a grander experience. I know they will appreciate the support so much if you are able to go again! Thanks for the info Tom, you are awesome!!! 😁🤙🏽

VERY nice, very informative. I will go there next time I am in Oahu. I only wish I had done so. I have never been there.

Thanks Luke, very informative!

Thank you bradah Luke and your ohana for another special Holo Holo.. I love the Iolani Palace! I often visit there when I'm in Oahu and as a member of the Royal Society, Hale O Na Ali'i O Hawai'i, I visit in regalia such as I am wearing in my profile oic. I'll have to make a visit again when I'm there.

I'm old enough to have seen the palace when it was still being used as the state capitol. It was in pretty sad shape in those days with cheap interior walls installed all over. I went and saw it again in the late seventies after restoration was well underway, but it didn't look anywhere near as good as it does now. Thanks for posting this Luke, I enjoyed it very much!

I'm glad they are not using cheap interior walls. Appreciate you! Thanks for watching and sharing! Aloha =)

Great Job!!

I wanted to go visit last year but it was closed so we went to the queen Emma summer palace instead which was not as interesting lol

Just by listening to you, I can tell you're local, if not kanaka maoli. Geffum hammah

She is buried in the Royal Mausaleom of Maunaʻala. Where Hawaiian royalty is buried.

Did Hawaii always have a king and queen or was that a byproduct of meeting the english ?

Dan Cross seems like the word King was adapted after western influences. I think before they were called Ali'i nui I think it means big chief or supreme ruler. Each island had their own Ali'i nui. Kamehameha I became the first King of all of Hawai'i when he united this islands through war and agreement. He did have Western influences. He made friends with traders and acquired firearms over time. In his drawings he is wearing Western or European clothing. I was reading that he outlawed human sacrifices and instituted mamalahoe which protected the common people from unduly brutal aggressions from powerful chiefs. Sorry so going back to King I guess they had it but, called it something else and it evolved over time to a more Western or European ideal over time. I'm guessing. =)
