2025 Honolulu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#AustraliaFlightEvent Hawaii's sunset is a moment you can't miss!🧡🌅 Especially the golden hour seen from the sea before sunset is a must-have for a life shot📸 🏝️Hawaii Electric Beach It's about 36 minutes by car or 1.5 hours by bus from Waikiki Beach The Hawaiian sea is always crowded with tourists, so it's hard to find a sea without people, but Electric Beach is a quiet beach where people are free to snorkel and swim. 🤿🏊 They say you can see sea turtles because the water temperature is warm! 🚘Free parking is available like other beach parks in Hawaii You can park nearby and swim freely 🌅I experienced the best sunset on a quiet and unpopulated beach The stars that appeared soon after watching the sunset were truly spectacular.

#AustraliaFlightEvent 🏖️Waikiki Beach The center of Hawaiian travel! Waikiki Beach is the best beach where the emerald sea and blue sky come together. 🌴 It is famous as a water play spot because the waves are weak, the water is shallow, and the water is very clear. It is also famous as a surfing spot where even beginners can easily try it! 🏄 There are many surfing rental shops near the beach, so you can easily rent them. The leisurely sight of various people enjoying water play from the morning is impressive, and the view is very beautiful with Diamond Head in the distance. 👍If you come to Hawaii again, I definitely want to learn how to surf. Enjoy surfing at Waikiki Beach, which boasts beautiful nature and mild weather!

The hotel is very luxurious and the staff are very friendly. We were here for our honeymoon, and they made everyone feel safe. There are many rooms and they are very quiet. The view from our room was amazing. The room was very clean, and surprisingly, there was a balcony facing the city and another balcony facing the ocean, but it was still very quiet. For the number of rooms, the pool seemed a bit small, but it wasn't an issue during our stay. The transportation to the beach was great and very clean. We could use the cabanas and get food from the hotel, which was fantastic. The hotel's location is excellent, close to shopping centers, restaurants, Diamond Head, and the zoo. I would definitely recommend staying here and would be happy to return.

A fancy fresh food shop located 5-6 minutes walk from the Honolulu Museum of Art 🍉 Choose your favorite fruit and have it juiced on the spot! Everything is fresh and delicious, and no matter what you choose, you won't go wrong 🙆 It's very popular with locals and there were a lot of customers! They sometimes give you leftover juice that they make while you're waiting lol I recommend the avocado mango 🥭🥑 The size is $7 for a cup and $10 for a jar. If you bring a jar next time, you'll get a discount and can drink the jar size for $7 💯 It's relatively reasonable for Hawaii, so it's a good idea to go there several times and find your favorite drink 💡 [Business hours] 10:00-18:30 #FuriTabiWinter

#alohaspirit 1. Breathtaking Natural Beauty Hawaii is a paradise of unparalleled beauty, where lush rainforests meet golden beaches, and dramatic volcanoes create stunning landscapes. From the iconic cliffs of Na Pali Coast on Kauai to the pristine beaches of Waikiki on Oahu, every island offers unique scenic wonders. Hike through verdant valleys, witness majestic waterfalls, or relax on black, white, or even green sand beaches—Hawaii’s diverse landscapes promise a feast for the eyes and soul. 2. Rich Cultural Heritage Hawaii’s unique culture blends native Hawaiian traditions with influences from Asia, the Americas, and beyond. Visitors can explore historic landmarks such as Pearl Harbor or the ancient Hawaiian temples (heiau) and experience the rhythm of traditional hula dance and the vibrant sounds of ukulele music. The spirit of Aloha—a philosophy of kindness, love, and respect—permeates the islands, making it a welcoming and enriching destination for those seeking to understand Hawaiian heritage. 3. Outdoor Adventure and Relaxation Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or someone seeking relaxation, Hawaii offers something for everyone. For thrill-seekers, surfing, zip-lining, and snorkeling in crystal-clear waters will get the heart racing. The islands also feature abundant hiking trails, including the challenging Kilauea Iki Trail through a volcanic crater or the peaceful Crater Rim Trail in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. Alternatively, for those looking to unwind, Hawaii’s luxury resorts, spa retreats, and tranquil beaches provide the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. From natural beauty and cultural richness to endless outdoor activities, Hawaii is an unforgettable destination that should be on every traveler’s list.

It was a long trip to Hawaii for 12 days and 11 nights. After enjoying various activities at Waikiki Beach in the first half, we enjoyed the Marriott Ko Olina Beach Club in the second half. Located in the Kapolei area in the southwest of Oahu, Ko Olina has a quiet and vast beach and lagoon, so you can have a luxurious experience as if you had a private beach all to yourself. There is a system kitchen in the room, so you can cook your own meals, which is the best choice for long-term stays. I recommend bringing rice from Japan. Of course, there are many barbecue booths in the garden, so you can enjoy the luxury of Hawaiian steak from morning to night. It is convenient to access from the airport, and you can easily go to Pearl Harbor, North Show, Kualoa Ranch, etc. Parking is free, but I didn't drive because I missed my chance to get an international driver's license.

#0yentravelnovember #trip #hawaii #hawaiitrip This time I went on a 5 night 7 day trip to Hawaii💖 Unfortunately the weather wasn't good, but I still got to see a rainbow and had some good things to enjoy🌟🌟 I also signed up for the Sunset Cruise and Heavenly Sea tours, and was very satisfied with both🥹💖 On the Sunset Cruise, I was able to see the fireworks that Hilton holds every Friday from the boat🎆💕 In Heavenly Sea, I was able to swim with sea turtles🥰 Prices are high now, but I'm very happy to have a break🥰🥰 It was a great trip🌟🌈🌺🐢

Hiking Diamond Head with the family. We made reservations and paid the entrance fee and parking fee through the website in advance. We forgot to apply for parking, but we were able to pay on-site on the day. However, without a parking reservation in advance, you will have to park a bit further away. We hiked with our 4-year-old child, and they made it to the top! The view from the summit is breathtaking. You can see the blue sea and cityscape of Waikiki Beach at a glance. Although the stairs along the way are steep, it doesn't take more than an hour. It was manageable even with beach sandals.

📍Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki Beach Surprisingly affordable for Hawaii! Great location! On some days, it costs less than 20,000 yen! 【INFORMATION】 Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki Beach 📮2330 Kūhiō Ave., Honolulu, HI 96815 USA 💰From 21,000 yen per night

#HawaiiTravelDestination #100TravelStyles How about enjoying fireworks on your trip to Hawaii!! Fireworks are held at the Hilton Hotel every Friday, and you can even watch it for free!!! There are a lot of people gathered around the Hilton Lagoon before it starts, and many people go early and sit in the front seats, but in fact, the fireworks are prettier when you watch them from a little far away!! Watch the fireworks for free🩵 ** Location - Hawaii Hilton Village

#HawaiiTravelDestination #100TravelStyles A travel destination that was called a paradise by my friends It's Hawaii!!! Among those who have been to Hawaii None of them said it was that great! It's the same when you see it in person🩵 First of all, even if you don't go to Waikiki Beach, you'll feel healed just by taking a walk! The sunset is so pretty that you should definitely visit😀 ** Location - Waikiki Beach, Hawaii

#HawaiiTravelDestination A place that Korean travelers to Hawaii must try!! Since the tuna steak is famous, I ordered tuna steak and a few recommended menus. ✨☀️ The seafood restaurant and food were overall comfortable and good. The parking lot is right in front of the store, so I ate very comfortably. 🩷😊 📍Nicos38 1129 N Nimitz Hwy, Honolulu, HI 96817 USA

★Ala Moana Center Business hours: 10:00-20:00 *We recommend that you check before going! ★Address: 1450 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu, HI 96814 ★Access: You can get there by car, bicycle, on foot, or by bus. I took the trolley bus from the city! If you have a JCB card, you can ride the pink trolley bus for free, which is a great deal✨ (The fourth photo is the view from the trolley bus) ★Recommended points Ala Moana Center, where the Hawaiian breeze blows through, is said to be the world's largest shopping mall with approximately 350 stores, including over 160 dining establishments! There are many shops, from brands that have not yet entered Japan to top brands, and there are also surf shops, aloha shirts, and swimsuit specialty stores unique to Hawaii, so we didn't have enough time...! #Shopping #100TravelStyles #Hawaii #Oahu #HawaiiTrip #AlaMoanaShoppingCenter #Shopping

#FuriTabi Going on a 3-night, 5-day trip to Hawaii☺️ I planned to take it easy and not pack too much into my schedule❗️ ⭐️Shopping at Whole Foods Market A popular supermarket to visit when you come to Hawaii. A wide variety of products, from groceries to cosmetics, deli bags, and eco-bags😆 I always buy eco-bags when I come here and use them in Japan. They are very easy to use and durable. ⭐️Going to the market The photo shows the market below the Hyatt Regency. They sell accessories, food, miscellaneous goods, and more. KCC Farmers Market is also famous in Hawaii, so be sure to check it out when you travel☺️ Markets are fun, so I always go. ⭐️Picking up popular shops Hawaiian food☺️ I still can't introduce everything, but these are shops I always visit. The plate lunches, ice cream, market food, and everything else is really delicious😆 At Wolfgang's, I love the steak burgers, which are great value for money. For breakfast, I always have an acai bowl at Island Vintage Coffee❗️It's delicious☺️ ⭐️Relaxing on the beach🏖️ When you come to Hawaii, you have to go to the beach😊 I always spend my time relaxing. ⭐️Recommended as a souvenir^_^ Honolulu Cookie Company🍪 is delicious and I always buy it. I'm happy that I can sample it. This time, I stayed at the Kahala Hotel☺️ It's a little far from Waikiki, but I stayed at the Kahala Hotel because I wanted to stay in the Dolphin Lanai Room. You can see dolphins🐬 from the balcony of your room😊 The Kahala Mall is also nearby, which was a lot of fun. The popular breakfast🥞 was also delicious. Please feel free to use this as a reference ☺️ #100TravelStyles #OverseasTravel #mayu✈️trip #Hawaii #trip

#FuriTabi #Hawaii #HawaiiTrip #Honolulu #Waikiki #WaikikiBeach #StunningView #Ocean #HyattRegency Waikiki is a resort area that attracts people from all over the world, with many hotels and condominiums lined up along the coast. The beautiful coastline and Diamond Head in the distance are uplifting sights. Located in the center of Waikiki, this beach is about 3km long and is the busiest in Hawaii. Originally a playground for the Hawaiian royal family and local dignitaries, it is made up of eight beaches, each with its own name. This time, I stayed at the Hyatt Regency along Waikiki Beach. I was very relaxed in my ocean view room. Looking out from my room, I could almost feel the roundness of the earth. Morning, noon, evening, and night, each had their own unique charm, so I never got bored.

#Ocean photo Hawaii's phantom beach🏖Heavenly sea sandbar🏖 This sandy beach is formed only during low tide, when shallow water that was on the seabed appears on the surface of the sea. Unlike ordinary beaches, it is a natural phenomenon that suddenly appears in the middle of the sea, and is also called a phantom beach😌 So, of course, the sea around the beach is deep😆😆 The color of the sea varies depending on where you take the photo. Only the white part is the beach with sand😚 ※Even though it's a sandy beach, there is water that is deep enough for my knees, who are 161 cm tall. A sandy beach in the sea‼ ️It's really mysterious❗️ I thought the power of nature is amazing😚 It is located off the coast of Kaneohe Bay in the east of Oahu. 　 It takes about 40 minutes by car from Waikiki to the boat dock that goes to Kaneohe Bay. I signed up for a tour. It includes snacks, snorkeling for those who want it, and picks you up at some hotels in Waikiki. It's very convenient because it also includes transportation to Waikiki on the way back. When you arrive at the boat dock at Kaneohe Bay, transfer to a boat and head to the sandbar☺️ The average price for the tour is around 20,000 yen all-inclusive. On the way to the sandbar, there is also a spot where you can see sea turtles😚 Please come and visit this mysterious and phantom beach🧡 #trip #solotravel #100travelstyles #freetravel #Hawaii #Hawaiitrip #sandbar #heavenlysea #overseas #overseastravel #wanttoconnectwithpeoplewholikeoverseastravel #overseastrip #mayu✈️trip #beach #beachresort #familytrip #coupletrip

##myhiddengems #localguides ##mytravelhacks Waikiki Beach is a popular destination, and these seven hacks will help you make the most of your visit: 1. **Visit Off-Peak Hours**: Arrive early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the midday crowds and secure a prime spot on the beach. 2. **Pack Light**: Bring only essentials like a towel, sunscreen, and water. This makes it easier to move around and keeps your belongings safe. 3. **Use Public Transportation**: Parking in Waikiki can be expensive. Save money by taking TheBus or using bike rentals to get around. 4. **Bring a Reusable Water Bottle**: Stay hydrated by filling up at water stations around the area, reducing waste and saving money. 5. **Try Local Food Trucks**: Skip the expensive beachfront restaurants and enjoy delicious local eats from nearby food trucks. 6. **Take Advantage of Free Activities**: Enjoy free hula shows, live music, and other cultural performances along the beach. 7. **Watch the Sunset**: End your day with a stunning sunset view, one of Waikiki’s most breathtaking experiences.

Visiting the beach in Hawaii was an unforgettable experience. The beautiful blue clear sky stretched endlessly above, creating a stunning backdrop for the pristine shoreline. The fresh air was invigorating, filled with the subtle scent of the ocean and tropical flowers. The weather was perfect, with a gentle breeze that kept things comfortable even under the warm sun. The Wakiki beach itself was a paradise, with soft sand and crystal-clear waters inviting you to relax and take a dip. The vibrant colors of the water, ranging from turquoise to deep blue, were mesmerizing #beachlife #hawaii

Speaking of Hawaii, it's Diamond Head This time, I'll introduce some places I personally recommend for viewing diamonds ① "Kapiolani Park" This is a place that everyone already knows, right? It has a beach, a park, and Diamond Head, and it's a really powerful spot where you can see it beautifully ② "CAMBELL Ave" Campbell Avenue in Kapahulu This place is a little far from Waikiki, but you can get there quickly if you have a biki or rental car. It's a little way in from the road on the way to Leonard's ③ "Honolulu Fire Engine" The yellow fire engine, which is different from Japanese fire engines, and Diamond Head spreading out in the background are cool! Just seeing the fire engines is impressive. ④ Kuhio Beach There aren't many Japanese people here, so it's not that crowded. The view of Diamond Head between the palm trees is lovely. ⑤ Makee Road This is a street near the Honolulu Zoo. There's a Denny's nearby, so it's easy to find. The combination of the English sign and the diamonds is Hawaiian-like. ⑥ Waikiki Beach Near the Royal Hawaiian This is the view that everyone sees. Beautiful ocean and Diamond Head! This is Hawaii!! ⑦ Kahanamoku Beach This is the beach where the Hilton Village is located. The sunset is very beautiful, so I recommend it. There are also fireworks on Friday nights. That was my favorite view of Diamond Head. #overseastrip #hawaii #hawaiitrip #waikiki #honolulu #diamondhead #overseastrip #waikikibeach

This spot with three cute palm trees is Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon near the Hilton Hawaiian Village 🌴🌴🌴 The lagoon is open to the public, and the surrounding area was great in the morning, afternoon, and evening ✨ At the Hilton Hawaiian Village, fireworks are held nearby on Friday nights, souvenirs are available within the facility, there is delicious Kona coffee and garlic shrimp, there is a beach overlooking Diamond Head, there is a fire dance dinner show, there is a rental car shop, and the staff are extremely kind. It is compact and the best 😍 — ... It is a 22-acre (approximately 2,700 tsubo) resort facility located on the oceanfront along Waikiki Beach, about 20 minutes by car from Honolulu International Airport (HNL). #Hawaii #overseas travel #summer vacation travel #recommended hidden spots for travel lovers #me and travel #Hawaii tourism #photogenic spots
