Location

Honolulu, Hawaii
Located on the south shore of Honolulu, the world-famous neighborhood of Waikiki was once a playground for Hawaiian royalty. Today, Waikiki is Oahu’s main resort area and a vibrant gathering place for visitors from around the world. Waikiki is most famous for its beaches - with Leahi (Diamond Head) as your backdrop, the calm waters of Waikiki are perfect for a surfing lesson or catamaran ride. But there’s more to Waikiki than just the beach. Attractions like the Honolulu Zoo and the Waikiki Aquarium offer fun for the whole family. High-end boutiques, shops, and restaurants can be found all along Kalakaua and Kuhio Avenues and at gathering places like the Royal Hawaiian Center, the Waikiki Beach Walk, and the International Market Place. Waikiki is within a half hour of a variety of O'ahu attractions, including Pearl Harbor, 'Iolani Palace, the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout, and Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, a marine life conservation district. While most visitors spend the majority of their time in Honolulu and Waikiki, there are treasures waiting to be discovered throughout the island.
