Deep sea fishing is one thing, but when you are sailing out of exotic Kailua Kona or Waikiki Hawaii, fishing species that include mahi mahi, yellowfin and marlin, you are in for some real activity, because fish in the waters off Kailua Kona do not reel in easily. With an abundance of beach rentals that include all the accommodations, you will be able to prepare your prize in your own kitchen, prepared to your own liking after your day on the water.
In addition to abundant Hawaii rentals in the area, there are many superb boat charters with experienced skippers and guides who are more than happy to bring you out to sea to catch the big fish. But while the exceptional deep sea fishing may wind up being the high point of your Hawaii vacation, it is not all that the Waikiki area has to offer. While the beach itself is fairly short, it is one of the most surfer friendly spots in the world. The extensive, rolling breaks characteristic of Waikiki make it great for longboarding as well as tandem surfing and is particularly suitable for more inexperienced people just learning how to ride the waves.
Waikiki has always been a tad elite. Prior to the arrival of Europeans, it was reserved for Hawaiian royalty. In the Polynesian language, waikiki translates as “spouting fresh water” after the streams and springs that once flowed into the surrounding wetlands. Of course, it was not long before Europeans found it. The first resort was established in 1893 where one of the first guests to stay there was author Robert Louis Stevenson, author of “Treasure Island” and “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.” Today, high rises and and beach vacation rentals encompass the beach, so you might have to go a bit further away if you are hoping for more excluded beach rentals.
Romantic getaways are much simpler to find on the Big Island around Kailua-Kona but before you head off to that location, you will want to visit some of the glorious and historic parks, reserves and other sites around Waikiki. For example, there is Kapiolani Regional Park, the oldest public park in the Aloha State and home of the Honolulu Zoo and a popular concert venue as well. Military history gurus will enjoy the Fort DeRussy Military Reservation. Though still an active U.S. Army Base, it is available to the public and is the home of the U.S. Army Museum of Hawaii.
If you enjoy golf, you will without doubt want to play a round at the Makaha Resort Golf Club in Waianae. This resort, on the west shore of Oahu less than an hour from Honolulu, presents the best of the New and the Old Hawaii. Only half a mile from the historic 600 year old Kaneaki Heiau Temple, the resort presents a range of events beyond golf that range from tennis and aerobics to native Hawaiian cuisine, music and even Polynesian language instruction.
