Bustling Honolulu serves as both the main port and capital city of Hawaii. Long considered one the world's most exciting holiday island getaways, this tropical paradise is ready to shower you with warm breezes, gorgeous beaches and delicious food. Ready for more? Book one of our Honolulu holidays to delve into a vibrant Polynesian centre rich in history, culture and natural beauty.
Once you arrive, Pearl Harbour is right at your doorstep and easy to explore. Pay your respects at the USS Arizona memorial, and then visit the USS Missouri, which is moored nearby. This is the site where Japan signed its surrender agreement in 1945, and in addition, the old vessel is loaded with historic memorabilia. Alternatively, learn to surf in the small, easy-to-manage breaks in the beachfront neighbourhood of Waikiki. It’s one of the greatest beach destinations on the planet and yours to explore with one of Wotif’s affordable car hires in Honolulu.
Shopping aficionados will find much to love besides the sea breeze. Honolulu packages give you access to the enormous Ala Moana Centre in Waikiki with almost 300 stores stocking brands that range from everyday to high-end must-haves, it has something for everyone. An easy drive across town to the Waikele Premium outlet will reward you with cheap-as-chips deals on top clothing brands that are just dying for a spot in your closet. If you're looking to unwind while you shop, take a stroll down the Waikiki Beach Walk. Its relaxed shops are perfect for local arts, accessories, clothes or souvenirs for friends back home.
All this shopping is bound to make you hungry, so spend a few hours ducking in out of the narrow streets of Honolulu's historic Chinatown. You'll discover a hipster arts scene, fantastic food from across Asia and a funky nightlife to rival that of nearby Waikiki. But don’t stop there—you have much more to do before your trip is over. Make the most of your holiday in Honolulu exploring downtown. It's bursting with eateries offering delicious plates piled high with Polynesian and Asian splendour, many for less than $10 a go. As you might imagine, the seafood is excellent in Honolulu, which you'll quickly discover no matter where you dine.
Feel like dancing? Honolulu is one of the greatest party destinations on the planet, and its vibrant bars and clubs turn on the magic every night of the week. Chinatown and Waikiki house most of the action. Start the evening with a fruity cocktail in a tropical-themed Tiki bar—we recommend a mai tai or a zombie to kick things off to a delicious start!
