Anyone staying in Waikiki can reach the artwork on foot, while visitors coming from elsewhere on Oahu arrive by car or bus into the Honolulu area. The Honolulu setting places it among the island's most heavily trafficked streets.
Travellers based on the North Shore at Haleiwa, or on the windward side at Kailua and Lanikai, will need to drive into Honolulu to see it. The piece is an artwork rather than a building, so viewing takes only as long as a passer-by chooses to pause.
Lei garlands of flowers or shells are given in Hawaii to mark greetings, birthdays and graduations, and the islands formed as the Pacific Plate moved over a hotspot. Spam, rice and macaroni salad appear widely on local lunch plates.
