Start at the "First Lady" of Waikiki, the graceful Sheraton Moana Surfrider Hotel. Operating since 1901, this grand old structure has aged beautifully. Continuing north on Kalakaua Avenue, Waikiki's main street, you can visit dozens of other hotels and shopping areas among them the International Marketplace, King's Village and Duke's Lane. Finally, you'll come to the other great lady of the strand, the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Shoppers won't want to miss the adjacent Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, a three-block paradise complete with every designer boutique and specialty retailer imaginable.

When the commercial bustle of Waikiki becomes altogether too overwhelming, make a break to The Honolulu Zoo. Relax on a bench while you listen to the huge variety of tropical birds and watch the antics of chimps in their large home. If you are traveling with children, this is the place to bring them if they tire of the beach. Close to the Zoo and opposite Kapiolani Park is the Waikiki Aquarium situated on a living reef. Founded in 1904, it is one of the three oldest aquariums in the United States. It's not large by mainland standards, but it is home to more than 2,000 sea dwellers representing 350 different species. As one might expect, the heaviest concentration of species is in tropical fish of the Pacific category.

International Marketplace


Definitive open air market
2863 Kalakaua Ave
Honolulu, HI 96815
United States
A huge 100-year-old banyan tree sits in the middle of this open-air shopping mall in Waikiki. It opened in 1956 and is still a popular shopping stop. Shops sell Aloha shirts, diamonds, pearls, woodcarvings, gold, kites, tapestries and surf equipment. You can find some interesting things at a reasonable cost at this reasonable place.

There's an international food court on the premises. On the second level you'll also find a surprisingly good Hawaiian art co-op gallery. Live Hawaiian entertainment is presented free of charge every Friday and Saturday evening.

King's Village Shopping Center


Shopping center in Waikiki
131 Kaiulani Avenue
(Adjacent to the Hyatt Regency Waikiki)
Honolulu, HI 96815
United States
http://www.kings-village.com
Centrally located across from the beautiful Hyatt Regency Waikiki, this is more than just a collection of shops and restaurants. In addition to the highly browsable collection of specialty stores and eateries, there is live entertainment twice a day. Bands, choral groups, local singers and comics all come here on a regular basis to perform. Needless to say, the atmosphere is always quite festive. The mall has a turn-of-the-century feel and is very popular with guests of the Hyatt and other fine Waikiki hotels nearby

Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center


Three blocks, four floors
2201 Kalakaua Avenue, Suite A500
Honolulu, HI 96815
United States

With more than 150 specialty stores and restaurants, this is truly a one-of-a-kind complex. The only one larger in Honolulu is the Ala Moana Center, and some people say that Royal Hawaiian is beginning to outgrow its famous neighbor. Designer boutiques include Bulgari, Celine and Cartier. Specialty stores such as the Ukulele House 2 carry local merchandise. With more than a dozen restaurants and informal eateries to choose from, you'll never go hungry.

Royal Hawaiian hotel


Another Era of Luxury
2259 Kalakaua Avenue
Honolulu, HI 96815
United States
+1 808 923 7311
http://www.royal-hawaiian.com/
The so-called "Pink Palace of the Pacific" opened its doors in 1927 and has been a favorite for the international set ever since. Although there have been many renovations in its more than 70 years of operation, the hotel and grounds have remained graceful, relaxed and very Hawaiian. In one wing, each room comes with a private lanai, canopied bed and Queen Anne-style writing desk. The most luxurious accommodations, the Prestige Suites, are truly magnificent. This is one of two original Waikiki hotels, and it still retains the feeling of Old Waikiki.

Sheraton Moana Surfrider Hotel


Grand old Waikiki
2365 Kalakaua Avenue
Honolulu, HI 96815
United States
+1 808 922 3111
http://www.moanasurfrider.com
One of two original Waikiki hotels, this beauty first opened its doors in 1901 and has been the queen of Kalakaua Boulevard ever since. The turn-of-the-century architecture is lovely; the lyrical Colonial/Hawaiian feeling has been maintained throughout many additions and expansions. Over the years this fine hotel has accumulated a collection of beautiful Hawaiian quilts that are now displayed in the halls and meeting areas. The plush guest rooms and suites provide guests with the utmost in comfort, privacy and luxury.

Located just a few short blocks from Waikiki Beach, this is a great place to learn about Hawaii's amazing ocean world. You can see 400 different species at this small but mighty museum, including monk seals, sharks and sea turtles. A knowledgeable staff is on hand to narrate tours and answer questions. The aquarium has a good gift shop where you can ask about special events and excursions. It offers some terrific educational and community outreach programs.
