A tropical paradise, Waikiki Beach is in bloom year round. Rest at the sandy shore, or stroll through the district to enjoy shopping and dining.
At the spectacular Diamond Head lookout, take in a sensational view of Waikiki Beach. Diamond Head’s panoramic views also extend to downtown Honolulu, the beautiful Pacific Ocean at Waikiki, and beyond.
Tour historic sites like the famous statue of King Kamehameha the Great, the monarch who founded the Kingdom of Hawaii. The statue stands prominently in front of Ali’iolani Hale, the site of the Hawaii State Supreme Court.
The Pacific Ocean’s waters at Honolulu are perfect for many kinds of sports and play — snorkeling, parasailing, sport fishing — you name it. Whether you want activity or rest on your vacation, or a mix of both, Hawaii offers many delightful choices.
Unique to the Hawaiian islands, Hula is a dance developed by the early Polynesian settlers. It joins a rich blend of mythology, music, and other arts handed down from indigenous Hawaiians, and still alive today.
Located in northeast of Oahu, Polynesian Cultural Center is a living museum and cultural amusement park with 6 villages representing 6 different cultures.
Each village offers interactive demonstrations such as canoeing and Polynesian dancing. Polynesian Cultural Center visit includes evening performance and traditional luau dinner.
