Discover Honolulu

Visit the eastern most point; the Makapuu Point Lighthouse with its shining beacon built in 1909 on a 600-foot sea cliff overlooking the beach; known as the best bodysurfing beaches.  The Molokai Channel runs past the Makapuu Lighthouse, a great place to spot whales through on-site telescopes during the winter whale watching season between December and May.  This isn’t an area to swim though, the place for that is Alan Davis Beach by Pele’s Chair which has a small secluded beach and swimming area.

On the South shore of Honolulu you can find the renowned neighbourhood, Waikiki once the playground for Hawaiian royalty.  The main hotel and resort area, Waikiki is buzzing with people sampling the shopping, dining, entertainment and activities.  With world famous beaches it’s only ever a short walk to the beach with calm waters and surfing lessons for the adventurous.

 

Other attractions for all ages include Honolulu Zoo and Waikiki Aquarium; fun for all the family.  Follow the surfboard markers along the Waikiki Historical Trail, shop high-end boutiques or dine in style along Kalakaua and Kuhio Avenues.  After sunset the nightlife really kicks in with live music until the early hours.
