아침

Breakfast with a view at Voyager 47 Club Lounge
There is no better way to arrive in Waikiki than by stepping onto an oceanfront terrace with a plate full of tropical fruit and pastries. If you’re staying in a club room or suite at OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort or OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort, start your day at the Voyager 47 Club Lounge. The lounge sits above the beach, so you can sip fresh Kona coffee and enjoy a variety of breakfast offerings while watching early morning surfers glide across gentle waves. It’s peaceful, scenic and instantly sets the tone for your vacation.

Settle into Waikiki Beach
Waikiki Beach is world famous for a reason. The sand is soft and warm, the water is clear and calm and the shoreline stretches for miles. Families can spread out under umbrellas, build sandcastles or float in the shallow water where small waves roll in like a friendly greeting. It’s the easiest way to shift into island time.

대낮

Learn to surf with Faith Surf School or Gone Surfing
Waikiki is one of the safest places on Earth to learn to surf thanks to long, rolling waves that break gently and predictably. Faith Surf School and Gone Surfing teach right on the beach, so you’ll start with a quick lesson on the sand before paddling out to try your first ride. For many families, this becomes the highlight of the entire trip as everyone cheers each other on.

오후

Treat the family to Hula Pie at Duke’s Waikiki
After a big morning on the beach, head to Duke’s Waikiki. The restaurant sits right along the sand with open air seating and that unmistakable Waikiki energy. Order the famous Hula Pie, a towering slice of macadamia nut ice cream dessert that has been a tradition for generations of visitors. Adults can sip something cold while kids retell the story of their first wave.

저녁

Live music nightly at The Home of Hawaiian Music
When the sun begins to set, follow the sound of slack key guitars to Kani Ka Pila Grille at OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort. Every night, award-winning Hawaiian artists perform here in an intimate setting where families can relax together over dinner. The warm glow of string lights and the smooth rhythm of island music set the perfect tone for your first night.

 

아침

다이아몬드 헤드 분화구 하이킹
Wake early for a family-friendly hike up Diamond Head, one of Oahu’s most iconic landmarks. The trail is well maintained and takes you up an ancient crater rim. Along the way, enjoy the view of Waikiki from above as the morning light softens over the ocean. At the summit, the view stretches for miles in every direction.

대낮

Snorkel at Hanauma Bay
After the hike, head to Hanauma Bay, a protected marine sanctuary where the water is calm and filled with fish of every color. Kids can wade into shallow areas and watch schools of reef fish dart through coral, while adults snorkel farther out to explore deeper sections. It’s one of the easiest places for families to safely see Hawaii’s underwater world.

오후

Sail along Waikiki on a catamaran
A catamaran sail off Waikiki is windy, refreshing and often full of surprises. You may spot dolphins, turtles or flying fish as the boat glides over turquoise water. The skyline views are stunning, and the whole experience feels carefree and joyful.

저녁

Duke’s on Sunday with Henry Kapono
If your trip falls on a Sunday, you’re in luck. Duke’s Waikiki hosts legendary musician Henry Kapono for a sunset performance that brings visitors and locals together. Families gather near the beach, toes in the sand, as the music floats over the shoreline. It’s a moment that feels timeless.

Pearl Harbor or beach relaxation

Visit Iolani Palace
Leave the beach behind for a moment and step into Hawaii’s royal history. Iolani Palace is the only royal palace in the United States and once served as the home of the Hawaiian monarchs. Touring its halls gives families a chance to understand Hawaii’s heritage in a vivid, memorable way. The building itself is stunning with grand staircases, ornate woodwork and beautifully preserved rooms and artifacts.

The open-air setting lets you watch the last light fade over the water as the family unwinds from the day.
