The King Kamehameha Statue is an intricately detailed brass depiction of the man who unified Hawaii and became its first king. This statue dates back to the late 19th century when it was unveiled after the original cast was lost in a storm on its way to Hawaii from France.

This statue highlights an important aspect of Hawaiian history that anyone can appreciate, though most kids aren't going to get a kick out of it for more than a few minutes. Visitors tend to take in this statue for about 5 or 10 minutes before moving on.

Good to know when visiting King Kamehameha Statue

If you visit this statue during Kamehameha Day, held each year on the Friday nearest June 11, it may look a bit different. During this annual festival, the 18-foot statue is draped in a long flower lei to celebrate the king. The lei reaches from the statue's arms to the ground beneath the plinth.
