Waikiki is one of the most popular tourist areas in the world. It accomodates over 4.5 million visitors a year, and for good reason. It is home to some of the most beautiful beaches and scenic views in all of the world. It is located on the southeast side of Honolulu and the extinct volcanoe Diamond Head is ever present just to the east. Most of the hotels on Oahu are in Waikiki.

When looking for a hotel on Oahu, you probably want to focus on the Waikiki area.

Fishing is one of the many hobbies one can indulge in, as well as windsailing and paragliding. Many luaus are presented for the tourists visiting the islands.

My all-time personal favorite past-time is to soak up the rays on the white sand beach of Waikiki.

"Sunset on the Beach" is a free event which presents a movie on a 30 foot movie screen, outside on the beach at Queens Beach in Waikiki. This happens a few times a month and the movies are selected so as to be family freindly. Music is played for 2 hours prior to the movie and a variety of food vendors are present to satisfy your hunger. Queens Beach is located where Kalakaua Ave and Kapahulu Ave meet, accross from the Honolulu Zoo.
