With one of the best shorelines in all of Hawaii, Waikiki is sure to make a priority on your travel list. Its landscape and prominence on the island of Oahu suited that of Hawaii's own royalty in the past, so why not make yourself king or queen for a week and experience what this community has to offer? While catching rays of sun or splashing in the shallow waters of the shore, you can see the Diamond Head formation off to the right. Actually belonging to the Ko'olau volcanic range, British explorers mistook diamonds in the surface of the rock and named this 200,000 year-old rock after the precious gem. Appreciatively, the dormant volcanoes allow for a nice, easy hike and a tour to the rim of Diamond Head where the views are spectacular. An excellent choice for a night's stay is always necessary! High-class hotels are available such as the Hilton Hawaiian Village, the Sheraton Waikiki, and the Halekulani Hotel. You can also pick one of the historic hotels in the area including the beautiful Moana Surfrider Hotel, which opened in 1901 as the first big hotel on the island, and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, also known as the Pink Palace of the Pacific, for obvious reasons. With so many outdoor activities and dining experiences available at your fingertips, don't let yourself miss out on Waikiki. Start planning your sunny vacation to Hawaii today or you'll be giving up your own encounter with dolphins, hula lessons, and eighteen holes of golf to someone else! |
