#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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

Hawaiian Aroma Caffe is a very popular franchise in the Hawaiian islands. This cafe has an international recognition on their roasting (traditional Italian style). They have lots of options for brunch, cocktails and coffees. Every dish looks super cute, even waffles served over leaves to feel that Hawaiian style in every pore. Everything is about location. The ambience is nice, it was crowded so I took my coffee and walked to the beach. Which is literally 70 meters away from the cafe! #staycation #beachlife #foodie #criskotsu #summervacation #cafe #coffee #coffeeshop #waikiki #oahu #waikikibeach

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

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

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
