Aloha Tower

Oahu, Hawaii Print   Leave a comment

Description

There's usually something going on at Aloha Tower. Businessmen and women from Honolulu walk over at lunchtime. Shoppers browse the many stores. At night, people come to dine and stroll around. I like it best at night because the lights look so pretty reflecting off the water. It's a great atmosphere. At the sidewalk near the four-masted 1878 ship, Falls of Clyde, it looks particularly lovely at night. Come with your lover!
My favorite restaurant here is Gordon Biersch Brewery where they have some great entrees and beer samplers. Sit outside by the water and enjoy the nightly live music.
In the late afternoon, you might be lucky to catch one of the cruise ships disembarking just near the main stairs adjacent to the Falls of Clyde area. You can watch their free hula show!
Also in downtown Honolulu, but quiet and secluded, is a lush natural paradise, Foster Botanical Garden. Drive there for a walk amongst the amazing old trees, herb garden, and orchids.
