Things to do in Honolulu, Hawaii (HI): The Best Nature & Parks

June 30, 2021 Almeta Stockton

The mere mention of Hawaii is enough to prompt visions of grass skirts and colorful cocktails with tiny umbrellas. While you will find some kitsch in Honolulu, you’ll also find art museums, bike paths, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Popular Waikiki Beach has soft sands and great surf. For majestic Oahu views scramble to the top of Diamond Head – a 350-acre volcanic crater. Historic structures like Iolani Palace and Ali'iolani Hale are worth a visit on a non-beach day.

Kuhio Beach

A great surfing beach being renovated with new sand, landscaping and the addition of a plaza.

This is a very popular area for hanging out at the beach, especially if you have little ones. The breakwater (wall) in the section of Kuhio Beach makes it extremely safe for kids and toddlers as you dont have to be as concerned with waves and being taken out to sea. Also the water is very calm for swimming. It is a busy area but close to numerous shops and ABC stores across the street. We enjoyed spending several afternoons in this area of Waikiki as it was close to our accomodations. Nice place to catch a gorgeous sunset! It is worth sticking around for!

Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon

Reviewed By Travelcooking - London, United Kingdom

This man-made lake, located by to the Hilton hotel, is a great place to relax. If you have children is ideal to let play in the water. There are plenty of activities to enjoy for all ages. You can even have a picnic in the grass area close by.

Ala Wai Canal

Reviewed By ChristineToo - Richmond Hill, United States

On our first full day in Waikiki, we took a lovely walk along the Ala Wai Canal, down through the park, far into a residential neighborhood along the back-side of Diamond Head, and back along the ocean. We'd never walked along the canal before, and it was quite interesting - saw lots of tilapia along its banks, passed joggers and other walkers, enjoyed walking past the zoo and hearing the occasional "hello" sounded by its occupants, and getting an up-close look at gorgeous houses. This is another adventure that we've added to our Waikiki list of to-dos.
