Waikiki is a beachfront neighborhood of Honolulu on the south shore of the island of Oahu. The world famous neighborhood of Waikiki was introduced to the world when its first hotel, the Moana Surfrider opened in 1901. 

 

Today, Waikiki is Oahu’s main resort area and a vibrant gathering place for visitors from around the world.  Along the main strip of Kalakaua Ave, you’ll find world class shopping, dining, entertainment and activities. 

 

Waikiki is most famous for its beaches and every room is just two or three blocks away from the sea (if its not directly on the beach).  With Leahi (Diamond Head),

as your backdrop, the calm waters of Waikiki are perfect for a surfing lesson.

 

But there’s more to Waikiki than just the beach. Attractions of Waikiki like the Honolulu Zoo and the Waikiki Aquarium offer fun for the whole family. You can learn about the history of Waikiki by reading the surfboard markers along the Waikiki Historical Trail. After the Waikiki sunset, the fun continues with amazing nightlife and live music.

 

Best of all, Waikiki is within a half hour of a variety of Oahu attractions, including Pearl Harbor, Iolani Palace, the Nuuanu Pali Lookout and Hanauma Bay.
