Be Treated Like Royalty
With A Waikiki Beach Vacation
Once reserved for Hawaiian royalty, the sandy
shores and salty surf of Waikiki were so revered that only the
elite were seen to be fit for it. Ancient Hawaiians excavated
Waikiki's then-wetlands into fish and duck ponds, and planted
coconut trees around each one. A steady stream of fish and
lobster provided the freshest ingredients for these ancestors,
and the world's first surfers emerged from the area's
crystalline waters. Today, Waikiki's allure rests not only in
its sparkling waves and velvety sands, but also in its
delicious dining experiences, luxurious spas, unbeatable
shopping and world-class hotels. Present yourself with the
past and lap up the benefits of a
Waikiki Beach vacation.
To the Beach
With ninety percent of hotels in O'ahu located
along the 0.7 mile stretch of shoreline that is Waikiki Beach,
it's no secret that Waikiki is the island's most popular hot
spot. The sandy strip offers a lifestyle far removed from your
daily one, with activities such as surfing, snorkeling and
SCUBA diving to jazz up any vacation itinerary. If soothing
the soul is more your speed, soak up the brilliant sun under
an unending azure sky, where a beach towel and shades are the
only equipment required. No matter how you savor or experience
them, the waves at Waikiki Beach promise to lull you into the
rhythm of paradise while you're there, and last in your memory
for years after returning home.
To the Streets
If you're able to peel yourself off the beach
long enough to enjoy what Waikiki has to offer above sea
level, it's worth a trip to the world-famous Waikiki Aquarium.
Noted for its spectacular coral reef exhibit, you'll have the
once-in-a-lifetime chance to view reef sharks, living coral,
sea jellies, reef fish and other such exotic sights up close
and personal. Then, if after spending that much time around
fish your stomach is grumbling, immerse yourself in a
multi-cultural dining experience solely unique to Waikiki.
With a melting pot of cultures mixing and mingling over
centuries in Waikiki, the resulting cuisine found here can
described as nothing other than exotic. Award-winning
restaurants dot the breezy streets, so you won't be wont for
food. If refueling has re-awakened your senses, then take a
stroll along the Ala Wai Canal, Waikiki's waterway and marker
for the beach's entrance. Or, if it's the cool of
air-conditioned shopping centers you're after, Waikiki's
world-class shopping complexes provide a place for you to
immortalize your Waikiki Beach vacation experience and
purchase unique souvenirs for the unlucky folks back home. Book your
reservations now and save big
time!
