With year-round sun, tropical breezes, gorgeous scenery, luxurious beaches, and deluxe hotels, Hawaii is practically paradise on earth. If you're planning a Waikiki vacation, it’s hard to go wrong. The staff at The Breakers Hotel, which offers relaxed and comfortable lodgings in Honolulu, HI, are intimately familiar with the area, and they suggest the following must-see attractions during your trip to the Islands.

Top 5 Things to Do During Your Waikiki Vacation

1. Tour Diamond Head Crater

It's not every day you can tour an extinct volcano. Diamond Head Crater is a short hike from the Waikiki coast, and at its summit, you can enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime view into the maw of a volcano. It's also a great place for spotting humpback whales congregating in the waters below.

2. Enjoy Waikiki Beach

Waikiki Beach is one of the most famous stretches of coastline in the world. You can bronze yourself on the sand, swim in the tropical waters, pilot a surfboard or outrigger canoe, or take snorkeling lessons. No matter what you choose to do, it’s guaranteed to be a wonderful time. 

3. Visit Kapiolani Park

Kapiolani Park and Gardens was created in 1876 on land donated by King Kalakaua to memorialize his wife, Queen Kapiolani. It features a zoo, aquariums, sports fields, an archery range, and tennis courts, as well as occasional art shows and live music. Whatever your interests, you are sure to find something to enjoy.

4. Splurge

Splurge on a lavish shopping trip along Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu's version of Rodeo Drive. It's lined with shops featuring products from a multitude of designers, along with dozens of restaurants, coffee shops, and luxury hotels.

5. Take a Submarine Ride

Finally, take a tour below the waves on an Atlantis submarine. You’ll be in awe as you're surrounded by schools of tropical fish, turtles, sharks, and other aquatic life. A knowledgeable tour guide will guide you through the experience and explain the exotic undersea flora and fauna.
