Important Tour Information

  • For the safety and comfort of all guests, children younger than ten years old are not permitted on tours.
  • Smoking and vaping are not permitted on Liljestrand Foundation property. 
  • Photography is permitted at Liljestrand House for private noncommercial use only. Permission to publish, reproduce, exhibit or distribute images must be obtained by separate agreement.
  • Because of the fragile nature of the wood floors, we ask guests to remove their shoes.
  • Pets, backpacks, large bags, tripods, extension poles and selfie-sticks are not permitted.
  • The house is not air-conditioned and can sometimes be quite hot during summer and fall months. Guests are welcome to bring water provided it is in a securely lidded container.
  • There is no bus service; you will need a rental car or taxi service. The drive takes about fifteen minutes from downtown Honolulu or thirty minutes from Waikiki.
  • Please be sure to check the directions included with your tour email confirmation, especially if you are are unfamiliar with the area. We do not recommend taking a ride share service such as Uber or Lyft. Often, drivers will refuse to bring passengers to the house, instead dropping them at our gate which is a quarter mile from the house. Ride share drivers can also be reluctant to pick passengers up at the house so it can be very difficult to get a ride from Liljestrand House back to your hotel or lodging.
