Docent-Led Tours

Led by volunteer docents, visitors learn about the Palace’s history from its completion in 1882 to the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893. Guests hear stories about the furnishings and Royal residents as they are led through the first-floor staterooms and second-floor private quarters. The tour concludes with a self-guided tour of the basement Galleries.
