Rent mobility equipment in Honolulu

Iolani Palace, located in downtown Honolulu, is a reminder of Hawaii's regal past. Completed in 1882, it served as the official residence of Hawaii's monarchs until the overthrow of the monarchy in 1893. The palace was ahead of its time, boasting innovations like electric lighting and indoor plumbing before many palaces worldwide. Its architecture blends Western and Hawaiian influences, showcasing intricate woodwork, grand staircases, and beautiful palace grounds.

Iolani Palace features paved pathways and wheelchair-accessible entrances, allowing easy navigation through its many rooms and historical exhibits. However, please note that motorized devices – such as mobility scooters and electric wheelchairs – are not allowed inside the palace itself. Visitors with mobility limitations must instead bring a manual wheelchair or transfer to one offered by guest services.

Since its establishment in 1889, the Bishop Museum has served as a gateway to Polynesian heritage, boasting an unparalleled collection of artifacts and former royal possessions. Named in honor of Charles Reed Bishop, whose dedication to Hawaiian culture shaped its foundation, the museum is home to exhibits ranging from interactive displays on volcanos to glimpses into traditional Hawaiian customs and daily life.

The Bishop Museum is fully wheelchair accessible. This includes accessible parking, restrooms, and elevators throughout the facility. Visitors are welcome to use manual wheelchairs, electric wheelchairs, or mobility scooters inside the museum, although motorized devices must be kept at the lowest speed setting. The museum also has a limited number of wheelchairs available for rent on a first-come, first-served basis.

Waikiki Beach provides a near-perfect combination of beauty, relaxation, and centuries-old history. From its beginnings as a playground for Hawaiian royalty to its global fame as a surfing paradise, Waikiki blends history, culture, and natural beauty. However, Waikiki is much more than just a beach – it's a happening neighborhood dotted with resorts, restaurants, and nightlife destinations that beckon travelers seeking serenity and excitement.

Do not take your Scootaround mobility scooter or manual wheelchair out onto Waikiki Beach itself, as these devices are not meant to operate on sand. Please stick to the boardwalk areas and paths instead. If you’d like to venture out onto the beach, there are all-terrain beach wheelchairs available on a first-come, first-served basis at the nearby Kuhio Beach Park.

Located in the Waikiki neighborhood, Honolulu Zoo is home to a collection of over 900 animals, including beloved favorites like elephants, giraffes, and lions. Established in 1914, the zoo is unique, in part, thanks to its lush tropical setting, which allows visitors to view the animals in habitats that mimic their natural environments.

The Honolulu Zoo is fully wheelchair accessible and provides convenient parking spaces near its entrance. There are also smooth pathways and ramps throughout its premises. These thoughtful accommodations make it easy for visitors with mobility challenges to explore the zoo's expansive grounds and diverse exhibits comfortably.
