Waikiki is a bustling tourist hotspot that should not be missed when visiting Hawaii. There are plenty of reasons why it’s so popular, from amazing shopping and world-class dining to stunning beaches. But what really sets Waikiki apart at night is when everything is illuminated with glowing tiki torches and Hawaiian hula dancers take the stage!
At Sunset & Late Night
One of the best activities to do in Waikiki is taking a stroll down to the beach. Enjoying warm, tropical temperatures and finding a spot to sit back and take in the views are endless; many restaurants along Waikiki’s strip of sand offer outdoor seating so you can watch the sun set or rise behind Diamond Head.
You can also stop at a bar for drinks and people-watching. Whether you’re searching for an intimate dinner or somewhere to hang with friends, there’s something here for everyone here.
