It was my first time visiting Hawaii and I wasn’t expecting to like Waikiki Beach much after our time on the Big Island. I’m not sure why – city beach, overly popular with tourists.
The Diamond Head walk was at the top of our Hawaii bucket list. And from the number of people on the walk when we did it, I think it’s on the top of everyone’ else’s’ things to do in Waikiki list too.
We went back-and-forth on whether to do a tour of Pearl Harbor. Would the girls appreciate it? Is it worth the expense? Relaxing on the beach for one more day sounds so good.
At the western end of Waikiki and in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village you have Kahanamoku Beach. This curved section of beach features a breakwater and pier with coral running between them.

We enjoyed spending the afternoon playing with the water toys and it was the first time for the girls to go on a paddle boat and Savannah loved taking control of the driving.
