Finding colourful murals is one of my favourite hobbies, and I always try to seek them out wherever I go. Hawaii was no exception! Honolulu is full of so many incredible murals, many of which are in the Kaka’ako neighbourhood. There are so many, I couldn’t possibly capture every single mural in one afternoon. This “Honolulu Instagram Guide” includes photos of 28 murals worth checking out!
Where to Find the Murals
Kaka’ako is a neighbourhood in Honolulu, and that is where you find dozens of colourful murals. Kaka’ako is a 5-minute walk or a 20-minute walk from Ala Moana Center, which is a large shopping mall in Honolulu. If you need a starting point, you can get directions to Starbucks, which is at 680 Ala Moana Blvd. There is also a cute local coffee shop around the corner called Arvo Cafe, at 675 Auahi St.
Once you get to Kaka’ako, just start walking around! There are so many murals within a small radius. I have included addresses for as many of the murals as I can. The murals are in the order we found them, so if I do not include information for a mural it is likely nearby the one before or after it.
For more information about many of the murals and an interactive map, go online to Pow Wow Hawaii.
