Hiking Pu'u Pia Trail in Manoa

What fun on a Saturday afternoon - Fresh avocado, a rain shower and a hike! The trail is intermediate, mostly due to exposed roots and some incline. Slow and steady - our 70+ hikers made the 45 minute ascent easy enough. Near the top the Strawberry Guavas were ripe and delicious - yum! The trail down easy enough - views, exercise and fond memories. Give it a try on your next Hawaii explore. Aloha and Pleasant Journeys!#hiking #hawaiihikes #honolulu

PARADISE ON EARTH - ALOHA FROM HAWAII

Truly a paradise on earth. Discover the beauty, culture and adventures waiting for you on the Hawaiian Islands. From the hustle and bustle of Oahu to the romance of Maui and off-the-beaten-path pursuits on Lanai and Molokai, the Hawaiian Islands offer enough to see, do and feel to fill a lifetime’s worth of dreams. So where do you begin? Hawaii’s spectacular beaches and lush valleys offer endless outdoor experiences, including surfing, hiking, skydiving, helicopter tours, paddle sports, whale-watching and zip lining. You can also swim with manta rays at night, float down tunnels on old sugar plantations and walk a lunar landscape at Garden of the Gods. From its stunning landscapes and its unique culture, there is something for everyone to enjoy and discover first hand in Hawaii. Hawaii is not only known for its beautiful beaches and its laid-back lifestyle. It is also known for its delicious food. From traditional Hawaiian dishes like Poi and Laulau to modern favorites like Poke and Kalua pig, you are in for a treat after exploring the mountains or surfing the waves. Don't forget and if you fancy a frozen drink, try the Blue Hawaiian. I don't know about you, but for me it's something that is tempting to drink more than one.❤️ #honolulu #beachlife #foodie #campingglamping #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #summervacation #skydiving #helitours #waterfall #surfing #cabincrewlife #paddleparadise #wildlife #volcaniclandscapes #paradisebeach #whitesandbeach #aloha #hawaiihikes #hawaiitourism #hawaii #unitedstates #zipline #whalewatching #scubadiving

One of the most popular hikes in Honolulu!

KoKo Crater Railway Trailhead (or jsut the Koko Head for short) is a killer hike. It is a challenging but popular hike that’s great for a workout. It takes about one hour to complete but you may need to take several breaks on your way up since it’s quite steep. There are more than 1000 stairs which people call the stairs of doom. It leads up to an abandoned site from where you can see a panoramic view of Honolulu and see the views over Portlock Peninsula.  The views are really worth. it’s absolutely stunning, but do wear a good pair of sneakers because the stairs are old and some are broken so you need to be careful. also you will feel super proud of yourself when you make it up there! good luck! #honolulu #kokohead #hawaii #hikingtrails

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

Waikiki’s Walls

Waikiki beach “Walls” area are a big concrete pool that reduces the crashing waves over the beach, good place to stay if you are scare of the sea or bring little kids with you. It’s a safe zone. A small gap in the walls allows the sea flow. This wall viewpoint allows you to enter the sea and enjoy a gorgeous full view of the beach. Very popular location for local kids, to jump into the sea from the high wall, or take gorgeous pictures. #staycation #beachlife #summervacation #historicallandmarks #culture #hawai #hawaii #beach #waikiki #criskotsu #oahu #honolulu #waikikibeach #summertrip #summerdays

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

Waikiki Beach- Oahu’s most famous beach

No filter needed. Waikiki beach is one of the most beautiful beaches I had visited. The white sand, turquoise waters and bluest sky. Waikiki is known internationally as surf spot 🏄‍♀️ . Additionally, you can either enjoy the beach renting beach toys to relax in the water, swimming or just sunbathing. This is a gorgeous location steps away from Kalākaua street, a must shopping place in Honolulu. Waikiki beach is Oahu’s most famous beach, surrounded by hotels, shops, trees and has a gorgeous sunset. #staycation #beachlife #beach #waikiki #waikikibeach #summer #vacation #honolulu #criskotsu #surf #surfing #swimming

Breathtaking Views in Hawaii: Waikiki 🌴🌺

Experience the most beautiful sunset you will ever see on the island of Oahu, Hawaii in the district of Waikiki inside Honolulu 🌅 The palm trees are absolutely gorgeous and you will feel as if you are in a scene from a movie. You can go on hike to Diamond Head to get the whole view of Waikiki Beach. The difficulty level differs by person but overall it’s fairly easy because it’s a very short hike, however, it does get steep, especially towards the end. Once you get up there, the view of Waikiki is phenomenal. In my photos, I’ve captured views of Waikiki during golden hour while at the bottom and also views at the top of Diamond Head, overlooking Waikiki from the top. I can’t wait to go back again 🌺 #hawaii #honolulu #oahu #waikiki #diamondhead #hiking #sunset #beach #beachlife #naturalwonders #beaches

Another day in paradise…

World famous Waikiki Beach. Swim, surf, snorkel, sunbathe or just soak it all in from a distance. Definitely one of the more crowded beaches but for good reason; majority of the major resorts are just a stones throw away, making it easy access to everyone on vacation. Once you’re done doing all the ocean activities, you can switch right over to shopping and dining along Waikīkī strip. #honolulu #waikikibeach #beachlife

Room with a view…

Always love Honolulu #Aloha 🏝️🏝️🏝️

Special moments with a seal at the beach in Honolulu. Lovely and nice view here.#Honolulu #Hawaii Place to visit of course ##Waikiki and i stayed at Hotel La Croix. Recommended!!! My trip to Honolulu, Hawaii, was an unforgettable experience filled with vibrant culture, stunning natural beauty, and warm hospitality. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the lush landscapes, crystal-clear waters, and the welcoming atmosphere of the island. As I reluctantly bid farewell to Honolulu, I left with cherished memories and a newfound appreciation for the beauty and diversity of Hawaii. From its breathtaking landscapes to its rich history and vibrant culture, Honolulu truly captured my heart and left me longing to return someday very very very soon. #Aloha

A simple hotel in Waikiki

The hotel is an affordable option near Waikiki and the center of everything. The property is quite big and is slightly dated but nonetheless very adequate and a pleasant stay. The rooms are spacious enough for 2-3 people and the room has all basic amenities such as a fridge and a coffee maker. There was also a balcony in my room which I really appreciated. Other hotel amenities included beach towels, a pool, a refillable drinking water machine as well as breakfast included. I would recommend this property for something convenient yet not overly expensive! You'll also be just 5 mins walk away from the beach, truly amazing! #travel #honolulu #usa #beach

Honolulu VIP lounge with ANA #TRIPMOMENTS

#tripmoments #Hawaii #honolulu #trip Japan VIP lounge at the airport in Hawaii, it generally receives positive reviews. Passengers often appreciate the comfortable seating, quiet atmosphere, and amenities such as complimentary snacks, beverages, and Wi-Fi. The lounge typically offers a relaxing environment for travelers to unwind before their flight. However, experiences may vary depending on the specific location and time of visit. It's always a good idea to check recent reviews or contact the airline directly for the most up-to-date information.

A warm Hawaiian winter

What's better than a warm Christmas with light sea breezes and beach weather? And what better place to get some sun and beach than an accessible paradise like Hawaii. Waikiki is the main beach in Honolulu and is lined with hotels and shops so you'll always have something to do. Its turquoise blue waters make you forget that the cold even exists. And you can easily spend a day lounging on its beaches. Stay around the area to be accessible to everything. I also find Waikiki to have one of the best waters and beaches. You will also be able to rinse off the sand off your feet when you're done with your beaching! A great choice to spend a warm and relaxing winter holiday! #beachvacations #Travel #Hawaii #honolulu #sea #warm

Life in Hawaii🌺🏝️🌊

My trip in Hawaii was wonderful and unforgettable!!! You can not also enjoy the beach but also camping and hiking as well where you can relax and close to the nature as much as one can in one trip and one life. Trip.com helps me a lot to find a good and affordable place to stay and the ideas of what to do where to go by their city’s attractions I really love trip.com and my trip at Hawaiian islands!!! #Waikiki #Hawaii #maui #honolulu

Honolulu - Getting Around Town

We found that The Bus on Oahu is a great way to get around the Island, Honolulu and Waikiki. A bus pass called the HOLO Card is conveniently sold at ABC Stores and makes getting around for shopping and exploring quite fun and easy. There are lots of sculptures and statues to see, wall art and cultural expressions to discover. Even a trip to Walmart is interesting.#fallingforfall #exploring #honolulu Pleasant Journeys!

Hawaiian Sunday Afternoon

#tripblazers That's the look of a Hawaiian Sunday spent at Ala Moana Beach Park - Beach, families, surf, volleyball, picnics - bathrooms nearby and FREE PARKING! Located just outside Waikiki Beach, it's also close to shopping and restaurants. "Easy Peasy" they say! Aloha and Pleasant Journeys #sunday #beachlife #honolulu

Punchbowl National Memorial in Honolulu

It's an easy drive up to Punchbowl (extinct volcano); the trees expansive, views of the city awesome and the memorial sobering, as the whole site is a military cemetery. We remember so to become better human beings. Pleasant Journeys#wwii #honolulu #hawaii #pearlharbor
