WAIKIKI TOURS
Waikiki, known as the playland of the Pacific, has
so much to offer visitors that it’s impossible
to see and experience everything in a day or two.
The main attraction in Waikiki is the beach, where
the sun shines at least 300 days a year and the water
is warm all year round, making it ideal for a dip-even
on a Christmas Day when most of North America is covered
in snow. Weather-weary travelers come from all over
the world to plop down on the beautiful white sand
beach, letting the sun melt away their cares. There
are so many other things to be explored in Waikiki
besides the beach.
There are museums, shopping, bargain-hunting down
side streets, a trip to the Honolulu Zoo and a stroll
along the Ala Wai Canal to Kapiolani Park. A favorite
activity is hiking to the top of Diamond Head (the
trail begins inside the crater, where you can drive
and park your car. Military veterans will want to
visit the fascinating U.S. Army Museum at Fort DeRussy.
To
make sure that you see everything and don’t
miss out on any of the attractions, there are several
companies that arrange tours for you. The hotels also
have their own tours to serve you. You can select
from among the many according to your interest and
liking. There are air tours where you can tour in
helicopters or seaplanes; land tours that include
bus or coach tours, bicycle tours, horseback, walking,
hiking, or camping; water tours where you can choose
from day or dinner cruises, kayak tours, sailing,
shark or whale watching, scuba diving, snorkeling,
or water sports; or theme tours like the Polynesian
Cultural Center or the Sea Life Park. Guides, well
versed in the geography and history of Hawaii, accompany
you on the tours and answer any question that you
might have.
