Very good tour, culturally enriching. We were lucky to arrive just before they start a tour with a guide. Entry $ 15 per person. So we made the tour with a guide who lives on the island and who knows very well the village. The village was well preserved and sometimes updated. This visit to learn more about the history of the inhabitants of the island, the waves of immigration and culture.View original -

Very low key place that provides a thorough overview of Hawaii’s historical immigrant legacy. Our tour was guided by a great docent, Norm. He was a wonderful, thoughtful host.

A "must see" to truly understand the multicultural underpinnings of today's Hawaii. Take the tour! It's well worth the money and the time.

If you want to learn about colonization Hawaii, going to Hawaii's Plantation Village in Waipahu is exactly where you want to go. Unfortunately, the buildings are mostly inaccessible for wheelchairs, but there are still a few things to do and see. Worth a trip there to see everything.
