Overview

Dive beneath the surface of Waikīki on this self-guided audio walking tour and discover its rich past. Starting at the surf-rider statue, next to Queens beach, I’ll guide you along part of the Waikīkī Historical Trail and elaborate on many of its stories. Hali'a Tours designed this particular route to help enhance your understanding of our unique neighborhood in a fun and flexible way. We’ll stroll along the shoreline of Waikīkī beach, past the statue of Duke Kahanamoku, the father of modern-day surfing, and through Honolulu’s International Marketplace before heading deeper into the area’s beach-front suburbs. I’ll also tell you about a few celebrities including Don Ho, the Hawaiian pop musician, and provide some insider tips for exploring the area, like where to get a surf lesson, and where you can have a Mai Tai cocktail next to a famous 100-year-old Banyan tree.
