ALOHA!
Waikiki is a perfect place to take it easy and do some walking with amazing views!
Go for an easy walk to see baynan trees and surfer statues, as well as to look for turtles.
Walk down the surfboard alley to get views from the Sheraton boardwalk.
Or do some easy swimming and snorkeling to look for colorful fishies! In the evening, experience Hawaiian culture through a hula show or Hawaiian luau. If it’s Friday, get to a spot where you can see the Friday night fireworks!
There are several beachfront hotels in Waikiki, along with many more hotels that are less than 5 minutes to walk to the beach!
