Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort
Located on the exciting and vibrant island of Oahu, Hawaii.
We are often asked about our favorite places to visit, and Hawaii is always one of our top choices! We love taking groups there to enjoy the beauty of the islands and to feel the very real Aloha Spirit. This past January we had the opportunity to bring 120 guests with one of our client groups to the incredible Hilton Hawaiian Village® Waikiki Beach Resort on the Island of Oahu.
This amazing resort and iconic landmark hotel sits at the head of Waikiki Beach and commands the widest stretch of beautiful white sand, the largest pools, the most rooms, and the largest meeting and convention space in all of Waikiki. Many of our guests tested their golf skills at the challenging Prince Golf Club. Others enjoyed an afternoon snorkel sail or sunset dinner cruise aboard the Spirit of Aloha catamaran that set sail from the Hilton Pier. While others chose to see the island from the unique perspective of an island helicopter tour. While exploring the north side of Oahu we stopped at the Dole Pineapple Plantation to learn about the history of the pineapple in Hawaii. We then drove through the small town of Haleiwa which sits at the beginning of the famous North Shore, stopping at Sunset Beach to see the huge waves that make this spot popular with big wave surfers. Our next stop was in Kahuku to grab lunch at the fantastic Kahuku Grill located at the Kahuku Sugar Mill.
Our last stop of the day was the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie. We arrived just in time to see the Rainbows of Paradise Canoe Pageant that showcases song, dance, and stories about the different island nations known collectively as Polynesia. We enjoyed an authentic Luau and dinner, as well as the highly acclaimed night show, HA: Breath of Life. This thrilling theatrical show took us on a journey of life with incredible singing, dancing, and costumes, culminating in an amazing display of the blazing fire knife dance. If you go to Oahu, this is a stop not to be missed!
Our final days were spent enjoying the many different activities available at the Hilton Hawaiian Village®. Right next to the hotel is the Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon and Beach where we played beach volleyball, tried stand up paddle boarding, and soaked up the sun. Lastly, we gathered for one last farewell dinner at the Rainbow Suites and Patio overlooking the clear Pacific Ocean. A picturesque sunset ended an amazing adventure and incredible experience on the beautiful island of Oahu!
