Culture and Church History on the Island

We are so excited for this tour. It is a first of its kind tour where we have worked with local members of the church to put together a tour that will allow you to learn from the local experts on church history in and around Laie while getting a chance to experience the very best of Aloha. Start your experience spending a few days on the north shore and visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center, touring the BYU Hawaii campus and visiting the Laie temple. This trip has been organized to find the perfect balance of classic “must see” sites on Oahu with local culture, history and history of the church on the island. This will be a unique once in a lifetime tour with Glenn.

Touring the Island

Throughout the week you’ll have a chance to visit nearly all parts of the island and learn more about the history and culture of the people who call this island their home. You’ll have a chance to take in local food and the famous shave ice and sunsets of the north shore. The tour will wrap up in Waikiki near Diamondhead volcano and area markets.

Historical Landmarks

We will visit the Honolulu church tabernacle that is a one of a kind building that has been called “one dedication and remodel away from becoming a temple.” We’ll also be taking a special tour of some of the mansions and museums that are important to the history of Hawaii and also the church. To wrap up the tour, you’ll spend time visiting the Arizona and Utah memorials at Pearl Harbor and have the chance to tour several of the famous naval vessels that played an important in World War 2.
