aquawaikikiwave.com is an independent travel guide to Waikiki, Honolulu and Oahu. This web address once belonged to a Waikiki hotel. Today it is an editorial site with no connection to that business: it is not affiliated with the Aqua Waikiki Wave hotel, Aqua Hospitality or any other hotel company or operator, and it does not take bookings, sell rooms or quote rates.
What we publish
- Waikiki Guide – neighbourhood advice: where to stay, what to eat, getting around, events and history.
- Around Oahu – day trips and sights beyond the beach strip.
- Ninth Island – Hawaii has no legal gambling, and many residents travel to Las Vegas instead. This section explains the laws, the history and the practical side of that trip.
- Local Area – a quick-reference list of things to do near Waikiki.
How we work
We write from public sources and experience on the ground, and we try to say when details such as reservation rules or opening hours change often. We do not accept payment for coverage. If you spot something out of date, please tell us through the contact page.
