Meaning "Spouting Water", Waikiki is the heart of Oahu's tourism. There are plenty of shops, hotels, restaurants, nightlife and beaches to keep most people entertained. With the beach as a prominent backdrop for most activities, keep your "slippahs" (flip-flops or sandals) and your "pareo" (sarong or beach wrap) nearby.

The day's activities could include surfing lessons, board rental, an outrigger canoe ride, a catamaran cruise, lounging at the beach or poolside, or playing volleyball.

In the late afternoon to early evening we have Sunset on the Beach. You can view the beautiful Hawaiian sunset from Queen's beach while listening to local musicians. Bring your beach towel or chair and lay out "drive-in style" on the beach to watch the show.
Afterwards, check out a movie on a 50 foot movie screen. Food is not far away, as local restaurant vendors line the sidewalks. As we try to keep the beaches clean, please, whatever you bring in, take it out.
