"The Rustling of the Coconut Leaves"

The niu, or coconut trees, a fitting symbol of abundance and prosperity at Helumoa that was once lush with a grove of more than 10,000 coconut trees. It was also a favored retreat for the ali‘i, or Hawaiian royalty, and is the location where Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop bequeathed her vast estate to establish Kamehameha Schools – the owner of Royal Hawaiian Center.

The Royal Grove is a gathering place where people can relax, people watch and enjoy the Center’s performances and ethnobotanical gardens – in a lush haven away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. Here guests will enjoy the Center’s many cultural classes and entertainment programs.

To learn more about what's happening around the Center, be sure to read our newsletter: Nenehe Lau Niu - the rustling of the coconut leaves.
