Who We Are

Iolani Palace is a powerful symbol of Hawaii’s past and its future. It is the mission of the Friends of Iolani Palace to preserve, restore, and protect this wahi pana (celebrated place) for local residents and people from around the world. By sharing, we perpetuate the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom through this living restoration known as Iolani Palace. We look to our volunteers to support our tours which fund our education, conservation, and preservation projects to which we are deeply committed.
