Aloha and welcome to /r/Waikiki, a place for anything local, like news, pics, sports, events or just stop by, talk story. It's not a place for stink eye or downvote menehunes.

Waikīkī, also known as Waikiki Beach, is a neighborhood of Honolulu on the south shore of the island of Oʻahu in the United States state of Hawaii. The Hawaiian language name Waikīkī means spouting fresh water, for springs and streams that fed wetlands that once separated Waikiki from the interior.

ABC Store Waikiki Passion Fruit Slurpee

Been trying to look for an ABC store that has this. The normal one I usually go to when I visit no longer has that flavor.

Longboard Storage?

I stayed at the Twin Fin recently and I brought my longboard with me. I asked at check in if they had board storage and they looked at me like I was crazy. The valet guys made an exception for me and let me put it in luggage storage even though they aren't supposed to store anything over night. There was no way I was bringing my 9' up to my room. I made a recommendation when I checked out that if they are going to market themselves as a surf hotel, they really should have board racks, and they did not care one bit.

Anyway, my point / question is, what do people do with their longboards while staying at Waikiki? Is there a club or a locker type place where you can leave it securely? A better hotel that has racks?

Where to stay?

Hello! I am travelling to Waikiki with my family in February. We have resos at the Hilton Hawaiian village however after seeing a lot of mixed reviews I am second guessing.

Looking for a family friendly resort with a beautiful beach, good service and a few restaurant options at the resort. Anyone stay at the Outrigger Beach Resort?

Any suggestions? Thank you!

If you got married on Oahu, where & how much did it come out to? It would be about 20-30 people.

Hi there, We are looking to get married on island but don’t want to spend an arm and a leg. I don’t need anything too fancy and I’m not picky.

If you got married on Oahu what venue did you use, how was the experience and about how much did it come out to?

It’ll probably be 20 people, maybe 30 people max

Just fyi: we live here and most of family does too- just looking for venues or ideas

Waikiki hotel - Ramada vs Hilton ?

Trying to decide between Ramada by Wyndham (1830 Ala Moana Boulevard) and Hilton Grand Vacation (1775 Ala Moana Boulevard). Recommendations? My needs:

  • 6 nights in mid November (cost not a factor)

  • parking for 2-3 nights (Hilton more $)

  • prefer clean, well maintained facilities

  • need fitness center

  • both are close to restaurants and the beach

  • both have similar reviews, hence not able to decide

High end lounges , nite clubs?

Hi !! My boyfriend and I will be travelling to Waikiki on Monday, I’ve never been and I am SUPER excited. We are staying on Waikiki Beach, and I’m just curious if there are any high-end lounges in the area, or good nite clubs to check out (we’re 42 and 57) so I would prefer someplace that isn’t filled with 21 year olds.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Oh also !!!! Where are all the turtles ?🐢 ❤️

Traveling to Waikiki with a toddler - carseat questions

Aloha fellow Redditors,

I'm planning a trip to Waikiki with my toddler and I have some questions about carseats.

We'll be staying at a resort on the strip and plan to do most of our exploring on foot, but we do want to visit Hanauma Bay. Before we arrive, I wanted to check on a few things:

  • Does anyone know if carseats are required on airport shuttles from Honolulu International Airport?
  • Are there any taxi services in Waikiki that provide carseats? .

If the answer is yes to both, it sounds like we might not need to bring our own carseat, which would be a huge convenience.

Thanks in advance for your help and advice!

Any recommendations for kid-friendly activities in Waikiki would also be appreciated

Easy beachside takeout

Does anyone have any recommendations for delicious and picnic-able (no table required) takeout to enjoy on the beach? Our last night in Hawaii is in Honolulu, and I'd love to say goodbye with my feet in the sand, enjoying some tasty food, and watching the sunset. Ideally, we can walk straight to the water from wherever we're getting our food.

TIA and looking forward to visiting your beautiful island!

Henry Loui's

My late grandfather potentially worked at Henry Loui's from 1970s til his passing in 1988. If anyone would have potential contact information from the owners or old employees it would be much appreciated.

Solo trip

Hey guys, I’m (29 black female) taking a solo trip to Waikiki at the end of January for my birthday. I’m staying in an air bnb and renting a car from turo. Pretty much planned my whole itinerary but would love other suggestions (restaurants, tours, places to visit). Also, how safe is it here to solo travel as a black woman? And what will the weather be like?

Sidewalk etiquette?

Im Alaskan (born and raised), and have been visiting the Hawaiian island regularly over the past the past 40+ years. Now I have kids (10 & 16) and we have noticed in our recent visits that people walking around Waikiki and Magic island park area walk on the their left side of the sidewalk. What is Waikiki locals stance on sidewalk etiquette? (This scenario is assuming everyone is able bodied and not elderly or needed walking assistance) I’ve noticed e received a rude comment from an Asian couple after saying “excuse me” to pass on our right side of the side walk. Thanks in advance.

Seeking a copy of the book "Where's The Rest of Me" by Ronald Reagan

If anyone has it, I'm down to meet you and pay market price. Local libraries don't have it, Amazon would only be able to deliver it by Sunday earliest, and I'm curious to start sooner. It's on archive.org but their website is down rn because of hackers or whatever. Thanks!

Would prefer no snarky comments about politics -- this book is actually from 1965 and is prior to Reagan holding any political office. It's actually about his Hollywood career and his acting in movies.
