Well worth seeing

The home, grounds and artifacts were beautiful. Doris Duke was an exceptional woman and a great philanthropist. It was wonderful to learn about her and enjoy her superb taste in mid-eastern art.

I'm glad we went!

This is a gorgeous tour and well worth the price, I thought. You can see much of the interior online, but it lacks all the detail and personal explanation you would have on the tour. As others have...

A must see if you've been to Oahu a few times

Shangri La is a worthwhile visit if you've been to Oahu a few times and have already seen the Bishop Museum in Honolulu and have visited the North Shore and other areas of Oahu. It is a beautiful...

Visiting the late Doris Duke's Shangri La has to be planned well in advance of your visit to Honolulu. The tours are booked through the Honolulu Academy of Art's website. There are only 3 tours per...

Excellent, Quirky Tour

Pre-book this tour and get the earliest start time. There is no A/C in the home, and it will get very hot later. The museum has a short movie looping in a couple of rooms of similar Islamic Art. Be...

I visited Shangri-la last week; what a wonderful experience. (Carol, our guide, was a delight!) It is a place of serenity and beauty that feels light years away from the frenetic pace of Waikiki. ...

A visit to Doris Duke's home - Shangri la - is well worth the $25 tour fee. Not all of the house is on view, but the parts which are, are well worth visiting. It was a real high point of our trip...

Will do it again, when the rest of the site is on view.

Finally got to see Shangri La, after a long wait. It was worth waiting for. And well worth the fee. I am looking forward to visiting again, when more of the estate is on view. My party went early,...

Definitely a must-see when visiting Honolulu

I've lived here for several years and was always curious about Shangri-La, but didn't get around to visiting until several months ago. I went with my mom, who was visiting from the mainland, and we...
