Doing Waikiki
Waikiki has accommodation to suit any tastes and budget, but when the sun goes down and a nice hot shower has been taken after a long day of surfing, it’s time to exit the hotels Waikiki beach offers and check out the large quantity of entertainment that will keep you out until sunrise.
Hula beach parties, Hawaiian music shows and Friday night fireworks will light up the night sky as well as the beach. Downtown Waikiki has a wide array of restaurants to choose from, or the more preferable Hawaiian Luau where the unearthing of a roasted pig is followed by traditional dancing and fire poi .
During the winter months, between November and February, the undeveloped North Shore of Waikiki Beach is teeming with masters of the surf. The waves at this time of year are massive and stretch along the coastline for 7 miles.
For those visitors who need to come back down to earth, take a trip to Pearl Harbor, where on December 7, 1941 the United States was attacked by Japan. Take a tour on the Arizona Memorial and Museum. Pay your respects for those who lost their lives in defending the US, then head on back to the beautiful beaches of Waikiki where you’ll truly begin to appreciate just how fortunate you are to be able to visit paradise.
