DYK?Did you know?

Duke Kahanamoku was a five-time Olympic medalist in

swimming. - after retiring from the Olympics, Kahanamoku

traveled internationally to give swimming exhibitions. It was during

this period that he popularized the sport of surfing, previously

known only in Hawaii, by incorporating surfing exhibitions into

these visits as well. His surfing exhibition at Sydney's

Freshwater Beach on December 23, 1914 is widely regarded

as a seminal event in the development of surfing in

Australia. On Kuhio Beach, a bronze statue of Duke

Kahanamoku welcomes you to

Waikiki with open arms.

DID YOUKNOW???

Sometimes called “The Gathering Place,” Oahu certainly lives up to its name. The third largest Hawaiian island is home to the majority of Hawaii’s diverse population, a fusion of east and west cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the Native Hawaiian people. It’s this fundamental contrast between the ancient and the modern that makes discovering Oahu so enjoyable.

In winter, the North Shore attracts hundreds of world-class surfers and thousands of spectators who come to watch the pros ride some the world’s largest waves.

The North Shore beaches including Waimea Bay are considered unsafe for swimming and snorkeling during the winter months, due to the massive swells. However a trip is well worth it – stroll through Hale’iwa Town and watch the sun set at one of the world’s most picturesque beaches.

Waikiki Beach is the “miracle mile”, a perfect convergence of

coral reef, crescent bay, white sand, blue water and gentle waves with the glorious backdrop of Diamond Head, an extinct volcanic crater connecting the sky to the water. There is surfing, swimming, outrigger canoe rides and catamaran sailing to break up a day of sunbathing.

Ala Moana Beach is crescent-shaped and separated from Waikiki by Magic Island – a park that attracts joggers, toy boat enthusiasts and picnickers. The spot is a favourite for swimming, sunbathing and stand-up paddling.

Kailua Beach and Lanikai Beach are favourites amongst the locals. It doesn’t get much more serene and beautiful than this area. Each of Oahu beaches are completely unique – close to town or far removed, they differ in age, sand texture, watersports, aquatic life and leisure activities.

Waikiki Activities

Shows“'Aha'aina - A Royal Hawaiian Luau”

Every Monday evening, The Royal Hawaiian,

A Luxury Collection Resort, pays homage to

Helumoa, the legendary playground of

Hawaiian royalty where the resort now

stands, with a modern interpretation of the

traditional Hawaiian feast called Aha ‘Aina, A

Royal Celebration.

Waikiki’s only oceanfront sit-down vignette

dinner show is a culinary and sensory

celebration, commemorating Hawaiian

culture and transforming the traditional

island experience in grand Royal

Hawaiian style.

“Before ‘luaus’ there were ‘Aha ‘Aina’—a feast

of food, mele (song) and hula,” says General

Manager, Kelly Hoen. “In ancient times the

Hawaiian people came together to celebrate

momentous occasions, these gatherings

were called Aha ‘Aina (which translates to

gathering for a meal).  The Royal Hawaiian is

located on sacred grounds and we have

created a modern, yet timeless Aha ‘Aina to

honor the land’s majestic history through

food, song, stories, hula, and culture—a true

celebration of The Royal and its heritage.”

Held every Monday evening on The Royal

Hawaiian’s Ocean Lawn, with the

breathtaking backdrop of Waikiki Beach and

picturesque Diamond Head, the Aha ‘Aina is

composed of three spectacular acts.  As

guests enter the Aha ‘Aina grounds, the

evening captures the spirit of traditional

Hawaii with time-honored activities such as

kapa-making (cloth made of pounded bark),

poi-pounding, and na lawai’a (tending of

fishing tools). 

The night continues with the sound of a pu

(conch) calling guests to feast, where a

storyteller shares the significance of lei

giving, the ocean, and taro while guests dine

on exquisite pupu (hors d'oeuvres).  After

dinner, the Helumoa story unfolds—a

dramatic performance, including hula and

song, commemorates ancient islanders’ rich

history and culture through a timeline of the

historic Royal Hawaiian to the contemporary

style of Hawaiian music

and dance.

The Royal Hawaiian’s Aha ‘Aina is a lavish

epicurean journey through time.

Want some local

knowledge?!Modern surfing originated in

Waikiki: The father of modern

surfing, Duke Kahanamoku grew

up in Waikiki. His family home was

actually where the Royal Hawai-

ian Hotel stands today. This

special beach was well known

even then for being a great place

to catch waves.

Oahu is the Hawaiian Island with

the largest population. It’s nick-

named 'The Gathering Place' with

a population 872,478 not count-

ing tourists!

The Iolani Palace on Oahhu is the

only royal palace in the United

States.

One-third of Hawaii’s best surfing

beaches are on Oahu.

On Oahu, you can visit historic

Kukaniloko, which is 'the place

of the sacred birthstones', a

half-acre plot of three-foot high

stones. Apparently the stones

served as delivery tables of a

sort for Hawaiian women in

labor. The stones surrounding

the central stone were for the

alii, the high chieftesses of Oahu,

who acted as midwives.

The famous crater on Waikiki

beach is called Diamond Head.

The crater's original name was

Laeahi meaning 'brow of the

tuna', but when British sailors

passed by this extinct volcano,

they saw crystals shimmer in the

sun and looked as if diamonds

were in the crater, hence the

name Diamond Head.

Traveling on

oahu

You can get around by car rental, shuttle,

taxi or Oahu’s public transportation system.

Many visitors also enjoy taking bus tours to

conveniently explore the Island. Others rent

mopeds and motorcycles. But to really

experience all that Oahu offers, you should

consider reserving a rental car in advance

from the Honolulu International Airport.

Oahu’s city transportation system is aptly

named “TheBus.” Fares are reasonable,

routes are extensive and there are special

visitor passes for multiple day uses. For more

information on fares, bus routes to popular

attractions and other useful information visit

http://www.thebus.org.

Another affordable option is the trolley. The

routes and destinations are not as extensive

as TheBus but the trolley goes to most

major tourist attractions and offer tickets for

unlimited rides over a certain number of

days. For more information visit

http://www.waikikitrolley.com or call (808)

593-2822.

Taxis are a great way to travel when in a

group and the cost can be shared. You can

find taxi stands at most major shopping

malls, in the business district and at the

airport. Note that rather than hailing a cab,

finding taxi stands at major shopping malls

and businesses as well as calling for pick-ups

via hotel concierge or phone is the

norm in Hawaii.
