Just the name Waikiki can easily conjure up images of its world-famous beach and balmy weather, which makes it a dream destination for anyone craving a tropical island experience.
A popular haven for surfers, Waikiki Beach is just one of six beaches in the district, along with Queen’s Beach, Kuhio Beach, Gray’s Beach, Fort DeRussy Beach, and Kahanamoku Beach. Waikiki is located on the south shore of Honolulu on the island of Oahu, which was once a retreat for Hawaiian royalty in the 19th century. Waikiki is translated in English as “sprouting freshwater”, and stretches from the Ala Wai Canal to Diamond Head on the east.
The city of Waikiki has always been associated with luxury, where the historic Moana Hotel still stands as the Moana Surfrider, which officially launched in 1901, making it the first-ever hotel in Waikiki.
In addition to Waikiki’s spectacular beaches, shoppers will delight in discovering world-class designer brand stores, which line Kalakaua Avenue, along with restaurants and activities found all along Kalakaua and Kuhio Avenues. This is where you will see places like the Royal Hawaiian Center, Waikiki Beach Walk, and International MarketPlace. Nearby is Ala Moana Center, the ninth largest shopping mall in the United States and the largest open-air shopping center in the world.
There is no shortage of fun after dark when Waikiki transforms into the city of lights, offering amazing hula shows, live music, fine dining, and waterfront cocktail bars.

Local History
Legendary Hawaiian Duke Kahanamoku, an Olympic gold medalist swimming champion back in 1912, was raised in the area where the Hilton Hawaiian Village now stands. He spent his childhood swimming and surfing the waves in Waikiki. He used wood from a Koa tree and designed it after the old boards of ancient Hawaiians. He called his surfboard, “papa nui”, which is Polynesian for “big papa or “big place”. Duke introduced surfing as a sport to other countries such as Australia and brought it to Santa Cruz, California, where surfing first became known on the US Mainland. Originally, surfing was only known to native Hawaiians, which is why he was known as the surf king. Today a statue of historical significance is erected in his honor at Kuhio Beach.
