About Waikiki

Why is Waikiki one of the most iconic travel destinations in the world? We have a few theories. For starters, the Waikiki district is located on the island of Oahu and runs adjacent to world-renowned Waikiki Beach. It's safe to say that the area has something for everyone: excellent shopping, rich cultural experiences, family fun, nightlife, surf -- it's all here.

Whether you're looking for a picnic lunch on the beach, or a fine dining experience, the growing food scene in Waikiki is not to be missed. Foodies and eaters alike will find an exciting variety of choices, from traditional Hawaiian cuisine to innovative ocean-to-table hot spots. And of course, don't forget the crowd favorites like shave ice, loco moco, and poke bowls. You'll find all you're craving. Instagram-worthy moments included.

What does your perfect day in Waikiki look like? Whether you want to surf at dawn patrol or relax in the afternoon sun, Waikiki has something for everyone. Feeling adventurous? Try some Hawaiian poke. Take a stand up paddleboard lesson or canoe alongside the rolling tides. Learn the hula, make a flower lei for a loved one, or chat with legendary Duke’s Waikiki beach boys. Or try one of our Signature Cocktails (we assure you, they are delicious).

We believe in love at first sight. One look at Waikiki Beach and you'll see why. From ceremony to reception, Outrigger provides everything to make your wedding day unforgettable - from spectacular ceremonial settings to a full suite of support services and an experienced staff who'll tailor your event to suit your most heartfelt weddings dreams. 

Forgot your sunglasses at home? Looking for a locally-made, one-of-a-kind gift to bring home? There are plenty of shopping options right in the heart of Waikiki. From the spirited showcase of Waikiki Beach Walk to the brand new International Market Place, you'll have no trouble finding just what you need. And likely, a bit more.

Polynesian navigators boldly traveled vast, uncharted distances, driven by an unlimited desire to explore the world beyond the horizon. It was a world they greeted with open arms. Here at Outrigger, we strive to follow their example. In fact, we've been doing it for 70 years, after opening our first hotel in Waikiki in 1947.
