Aloha Time!

#travellerswonderland I often hear that people didn't enjoy Waikiki Beach because of the crowds. As a little known secret, there's still a great way to enjoy this pristine stretch of beach! If you follow the shore towards Diamond head, you will find things are much quieter the closer you get to the Aquarium. I grew up in Oahu and this area of the beach has always been my favorite. It's very quiet, less crowded, and far more comfortable for single beach goers! Next time you find yourself in Waikiki, head down to Queen Kapiolani Park area and enjoy the peace of Hawaiian nature. #hawaii #oahu #oahuhawaiibeaches #hawaiitourism #waikiki #waikikibeach

The Enchanting Scenery of Kona, Hawaii

For my first trip to Hawaii, I naturally wanted a more chill itinerary. So I chose the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kona, as Holiday Inn is a chain hotel group, which gives a certain level of assurance. Upon arrival, the staff were already very friendly. Although we couldn't check in early, they allowed us to store our luggage. Due to the rooms being fully booked, we couldn't reserve the same room type for two nights. Despite this, the staff ultimately managed to let us stay in the same room for both nights, which was very considerate! The hotel included breakfast with the room. Although the taste was average, it was already included in the room rate! The hotel provided a gym and a swimming pool! Guests could use them at any time. Although public transportation in Hawaii isn't very convenient, there are many souvenir shops and restaurants near the hotel, so the location is quite good! A 15-minute walk will get you to Walmart, which is convenient. Looking at the Hawaiian sunshine and beach scenery, all worries seemed to disappear. Overall, Hawaii is definitely a travel destination worth visiting for everyone!

The beauty of the pacific

The Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park is a historical site with stunning views. An ancient burial site for the original Hawaiian monarchy, it’s a sacred and mysterious area. Historically people who had broken ancient Hawaiian laws could escape here to seek refuge from persecution. Their combined spirits and the power of the sea are meant to offer further protection. There is beautiful scenery, fascinating wooden carvings and a lot of nature. I sat on some rocks near the sea and within a few minutes many sea turtles had emerged, Scouring the shore for food. It was such a peaceful place, you can definitely feel the presence of the past there with you. Well worth a stop if you’re travelling around the big island. #hawaii #bigisland #hawaiitourism #history

The pure white sand beach spreads out all over, and the sea is soda blue 💎 There are shallow areas and deep areas where you can snorkel! You can see fish, pufferfish, and if you're lucky, turtles! ! It's a view you should see at least once when you come to Hawaii!

Stroll in a royal garden

A few minutes from Waikiki beach you can enjoy a beautiful park that was originally designed for a queen. The Queen Kapi’olani Garden has beautiful colorful trees, and flowers. My favorite is the white hibiscus. Definitely, a nice green space to enjoy a takeaway or shadow, more quietly than the crowded beach. You might take a small detour here if you are on your way/coming back from Diamond Head crater. 📍 3698 Paki Ave #3672, Honolulu #gooutside #passionpassport #solotravel #waikiki #beachlife #hawaii #hawaiitourism #stroll #walking #walkingaround #park #naturalpark #landmark #honolulu #oahu

Jalapeño burger and jalapeño beer

During my conference, I looked for good options near the near the Hawaiian Convention Center. Waikiki Brewing Co was a nice option to try. Always crowded, has a nice ambience for brunch, lunch, dinner and/or a promising happy hour. Lot of options in craft beer, jalapeño beer was something unexpected, and tasty. Few options for burgers sounded good, but blue cheese burger was definitely the best decision I did. I wanted a coffee after my meal, but the option was not really available. Nevertheless, quite happy with this visit. 📍 1945 Kalākaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815 #staycation #foodie #beachlife #burger #beer #food #summervacation #hawaii #hawaiitourism #honolulu #oahi #waikiki #criskotsu #beachlife #staycation

Delicious Thai food by the beach

Located in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, Noi has one of the best Thai food I tried in the Waikiki area. Green curry was my favorite by far. They offer a good variety of dishes and drinks, served in cute presentations. They have a special lunch menu with better prices, and options to taste several dishes on one sit. Not so good to visit as single customer. 📍 2301 Kalākaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815 #staycation #beachlife #foodie #foodieheaven #burgers #dessert #summervacation #food #wheretoeathonolulu #criskotsu #beach #waikiki #kalakaua #honolulu #hawaii #hawaiitourism #staycation #thaifood #seafood

Best cheesecakes in Waikiki

Located in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, The Cheesecake Factory is a great option if you crave for a lot of food and affordable prices. I visited the same day of my return flight and deeply regret not finding this spot during my vacation week. My mushroom burger was huge, and tasty. I wanted an ice coffee with milk, and they kindly added the milk on the side (as they don’t offer this drink) without extra charge. Courtesy bread was also nice. Took my cheesecake home, as I was so full after my meal, and was simply delicious. 📍 2301 Kalākaua Ave, Honolulu, HI 96815 #staycation #beachlife #foodie #foodieheaven #burgers #dessert #summervacation #food #wheretoeathonolulu #criskotsu #beach #waikiki #kalakaua #honolulu #hawaii #hawaiitourism

Pineapple 🍍 Cafe

On your way to Le’ahi park you can enjoy the Aloha Pineapple Cafe. This cute coffee shop is located in Monsarrat Avenue, same street to Diamond Head Crater Park. Iced coffee during a hot afternoon was a delight. Ambience is nice, service also good. One of the few places that offers free wifi in Honolulu. During my trip to Hawaii, my favorite was the coconut ice coffee. They have a matcha option that is promising too. ☕️ Closed by 3pm 📍 3212 Monsarrat Ave. Honolulu, HI 96815 #staycation #themepark #beachlife #coffeeshop #cafe #criskotsu #hawaii #hawaiitourism #honolulu #oahu #coffee #hiking #icecoffee

Unchrasing waves beach: Kahanamoku

The Kahanamoku beach is located near the marina and has a small salty water lagoon ideal to enjoy if you bring small kids. Or you dislike the feeling of crashing waves. This beach has more coarser sand than Waikiki beach, although is quieter and nicer for families. It’s also located near Waikiki downtown, you can either reach there from the marina or the Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Park. This beach has a underwater wall to reduce the waves into the beach area, although has caused a lot of seaweed to accumulate near the sand. #beachlife #beach #hawaii #hawaiitourism #honolulu #staycation #amazingplace #waikiki #criskotsu #oahu #summervacation #themepark #swimming #familytrip

Mall with tree garde within

The International Market Place is located in Kalākaua Avenue, less than 5 minutes from Waikiki beach. This outlet was designed with beautiful tree gardens, water features, and around a huge main tree. In this market you can find few restaurants, luxury shops, free wifi and few charging places for your phone (right next to the big tree). A must visit location after/before the beach. You will have many options to rest while enjoying Waikiki. During my stay, have visited this place every singe day, even just to sit down and take a breath. Very refreshing environment. #staycation #beachlife #honolulu #waikiki #hawaii #hawaiitourism #criskotsu #beach #waikikibeach #foodie #summervacation #summertrip #summervacationtravel

A bridge with history

Kalākaua Avenue is well-known as the main shopping center of Honolulu. Located just behind the Hawaii Convention Center the street starts with a bridge that originates from 1929 over Ala Wai canal. The Ala Wai canal was artificially created in 1928 to drain rice paddies and swamps, to give birth to Waikiki area. Kalākaua Avenue bridge has an amazing view, a great location for morning walk or just wondering around Waikiki. Gives you a great view of the marina on one side and the mountains on the other side. You can even take a walk next to the canal under the trees shadow to get closer to the beach. #staycation #beachlife #honolulu #oahu #waikiki #hawaii #hawaiitourism #criskotsu #bridge #historicculture #historicallandmarks #kalakaua #architecture #beach #canal #boats #marina

A sustainable building for high level events

The Hawai’i Convention Center is one the most beautiful buildings I have ever been. It’s designed allows air flow from third floor to be distributed along the infrastructure to reduce the use of energy and maintain a fresh breeze along the meeting rooms and halls. Located in Oahu, it is just few minutes away from Kalākaua street, main shopping/restaurants street in Waikiki. Building was built in 1998, but still looks quite cutting-edge. Along the building it’s possible to see art/cultural Hawaiian exhibits. So far, I’ll say this is one of the most beautiful convention centers in the world. If you love architecture, this is a must visit in Oahu. #staycation #beachlife #conference #convention #hawai #hawaiitourism #oahu #waikiki #criskotsu #infraestructure #architecture #architecturalphotos #architecturedesign
