Waikiki Beach Things to Do
Waikiki Boat & Sailing Cruises
Ride on the winds and waves of Hawaii as you set out on the best Oahu sailing and cruising adventures along Waikiki Beach! Take your pick from a variety of ocean activities, and begin your day early with a visit to your captain's favorite snorkeling spots, take a scenic boat tour at twilight and watch the beautiful sunset as you sip on tropical cocktails, and even dine on a delicious Pacific-Rim inspired feast. Then simply relax and enjoy amazing views of the Waikiki coastline and Diamond Head.
Turtle Snorkeling Cruises & Tours
See turtles on the best snorkel cruises in Honolulu, and swim among the Hawaiian green sea turtles in the open ocean. Visit the popular Turtle Canyon, and see where turtles rest on the reef while schools of colorful tropical fish swim around and clean the algae off of the turtle's shells. This beautiful and unique symbiotic relationship creates the perfect spot to see Hawaiian turtles in the wild, and a visit to Turtle Canyon is a must-do tour for any visit to Oahu. Book a turtle cruise today!
Diamond Head Crater Hiking Tours
Diamond Head Crater is one of the most iconic landmarks in Hawaii, and can be seen as part of the skyline from Waikiki Beach. 19th century sailors dubbed the 760-foot volcanic crater "Diamond Head" after mistaking its sparkling calcite crystals for diamonds. Diamond Head is now a popular hiking destination for both locals and visitors who are looking for an easy hike and breathtaking views from the summit, stretching from Waikiki to Oahu's south shore.
Waikiki Friday Fireworks Cruises
Every Friday night in Waikiki, a fireworks show is held right from the beach, courtesy of the Hilton Hawaiian Village. The beach gets crowded during the show, making the best seats those off shore. Enjoy front-row seating from the deck of a cruise or luxury catamaran, with nothing to obstruct your view of the fireworks spectacular!
Water Sports in Waikiki
The famous Waikiki Beach is home to a variety of fun water-based activities! Go scuba diving along coral reefs and sea turtles or paddle a traditional Hawaiian-style outrigger canoe. Learn to surf at the birthplace of the sport, or try something a little more extreme with a parasailing or flyboard ride. The calm waters of south shore Oahu are the perfect place to try out something new, fun, and exciting during your stay in Hawaii!
Shows in Waikiki
After the sun sets, enjoy some evening entertainment with a night show on Oahu. Whether you want to experience a traditional hula performance, watch a dazzling contemporary song and dance show performed by celebrity lookalikes, witness an uncanny magical performance, or even see a brilliant star show on the quiet west side, you'll definitely be a spectator to top-notch performances that will create stirring memories.
Massage & Spa
Let all of your stress melt away with a therapeutic and beautifying Waikiki Massage & Spa session, and get ready for specialty spa facials, Hawaiian body wraps, nail treatments and lomilomi massages. Expert hands heal any worries or cares so you can return to your vacation completely relaxed, rejuvenated and looking your best. You deserve to be treated like royalty by some of the most skilled masseurs in the islands.
Ala Moana Beach Park
Ala Moana Beach Park, across from Ala Moana Shopping Center near Waikiki, is Oahu's favorite gathering spot, and for good reason. Its calm clear blue waters, protective reef and golden sand beach make it a perfect spot for sunbathing, recreational swimming and family time.
