Plantation Village
We visited the Hawaii Plantation Village in Waipahu (Oahu) and cannot recommend it highly enough! An outdoor museum documenting the life of various immigrant groups on Hawaiian plantations, our 2 hour tour was given by Auntie Espy who grew up on that plantation, and was a wealth of information and stories. She even brought food and fed us a homemade Philapino lunch. Be aware that Espy is the only tour guide who cooks for her group, and she only gives tours on Mondays at 10am. I am sure the other tour guides are good and informative, but I can't imagine they would beat Auntie Espy!
