We love the Outrigger Reef on the Beach!
(Outrigger Reef on the Beach - Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii - Outrigger Hotels & Resorts)
If you go...
Why not renew your vows? The Outrigger Reef has a complimentary service every Tuesday and Friday morning. This is exclusive to guests at the Reef and Outrigger on the Beach. You need to register by 3 p.m. on Thursday. It takes place right on the beach at sunrise! You'll be blessed by a Kahuna. (Wise elder - minister.) Photo op.
There are also complimentary hula and ukulele lessons at the hotel. Such soothing and happy music.
Speaking of music, there is live music every night at Kani Ka Pila (which means "let's make music") Grille (on site.)
For fun, you can surf in on a canoe down the road at the Outrigger on the Beach. $15 per person. "Beach boys" is the concession.
