Further south, you’ll find Waikiki, the best place to bask on the beaches and enjoy luxury shopping at Dior, Chanel and Prada by day. Welcome the evening on Kuhio Avenue with authentic Hawaiian cuisine—ahi tuna, green curry Keahole lobster or poke (raw fish salad)—and then hit the clubs at this leading spot for Honolulu nightlife.
While our Honolulu resorts invite you to relax, we recommend you get out and explore the beauty of the area. Head to Diamond Head to check out this dormant volcano. The steep, .8-mile climb is worth the enchanting view of the shoreline and first-hand look at local military history – the summit is home to the Fire Control Station, built in 1911. If this hike inspires you to see more history, then head from your hotel in Honolulu to the US Army Museum of Hawaii, Pearl Harbor or Nuuanu Pali Lookout, where you can walk in the footsteps of King Kamehameha I, conqueror of O’ahu.
