The magnificent building with its Koa wood interior has three floors of discovery. Keiki will enjoy the interactive exhibits. Adults will develop a new understanding […]
Here’s yet another tale in Hawaii’s never ending saga of inter-island transportation. Less than one year ago we were excited to see a new and local player, Mokulele Airlines, enter the prior duopoly of Hawaiian Airlines and Mesa Airlines’ Go!.
