Thanks for the great walking tour, Chris. Every time I hear the name Waikiki, I’m reminded of all the cool songs with Waikiki in the lyrics. 🎉

Waikiki is a great place to visit. I did so last year and it was great. But rent a car and visit many other beaches, Hawaii is not just Waikiki 😜

This was exceptional 👏🎉❤love this tour!!

Waikiki Beach has changed so much since 1980 when I was there. Stayed at the Royal Hawaiian which our room was beautiful.

Looks beautiful, Chris.Thankyou for the video

Took my son to Moana Surfrider in 2022. Such a beautiful property. Thanks for the amazing video. As always you knocked it out the park Chris! YP4L!

Great video!!!! Thank you so much

i remember the shave ice is was so refreshing during summer .yes it can get very warm in summer and the beach is the perfect place to relax

We're just back from Waikiki over the weekend and had a great time. We walked to the entrance of Diamond Head the long way on Diamond Head Road and then hiked it. lol

Thanks Chris for a great tour! I followed your walk on Google maps while watching and made notes of places to visit & dine. Appreciate the information! We leave for Oahu in 10 days to celebrate our daughter's college graduation.

Nice tour of the beach area Chris. We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village at the end of July for a few days, which was incredible (they gave us an upgrade to an ocean-view room). The last time I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village was on a college conference trip many years ago.

That is one of the best and most informed walking Waikiki tour videos I have seen! Great job it bought back so many great memories for me when I use to go with my mum!!!❤

Great video!🤙🏾

As the crow flies, I live 12 miles away from Waikiki. So that's what Waikiki beach looks like nowadays. No rush to go there anytime soon. Too many tourists! :) I do appreciate them being the driver of our economy and enjoy my interactions with most of them.

thanks for the content, can never have too many hawaii videos

Was this a few years ago? Excellent for you to do !! Been there but I didn't walk the entire beach ⛱️ beautiful ❤️

Awesome video Chris!! It was a pleasure meeting you at the Surfrider Hotel. Keep up the great work.

About to go in 3 days!!

Great tour, that is a long walk. I had no idea the Hilton was so close to “central Waikiki”. Just a walk along the beach. I have stayed at many hotels here, however the last one being well over 25 years ago. A lot seems to have changed and sadly it does not look like it has improved for the better. Seems quite dirty. The “pink palace” “the Brady bunch hotel” 😂 no longer has a green area nor really a beachfront. I am really glad that you showed that, as I was consider another trip back and staying there again, but no longer will do that. All those hotels in that area were considered the best, but back at that time all of them had large green areas, there own “private” beach and in front of that the public beach. All the designer shops, Tiffany’s, art galleries etc seem to have also gone. Those designer stores were not found in every city back then. Yes, so much has simply disappeared. The outrigger used to massive, I considered it to be an eyesore, not a luxury hotel especially for the $ they wanted back at that time. I can only image what they are asking for now. Seems to look like it’s about the $ they can make now on the beachfront rather than green friendly spaces and the rising waters taking away the beaches. Over time I navigated further towards hotels on the other side of the road but still beachfront going further to the zoo and eventually staying at the very last hotel on multiple occasions. Extremely affordable at that time and a low traffic flow. I guess not anymore. The Sheraton you mentioned not to stay at because it was not beachfront, actually was really good, but I did not pay anything on that trip though. I will take your word for it that things have gone downhill. Thank-you so much for posting this. Maybe I will look at the four seasons, hopefully you have explored that hotel and have a video on it. Not sure how far that away from downtown Waikiki. Fun fact - the sand is actually delivered to Waikiki beaches from Australian beaches and I don’t know if jelly fish are still completely covering the sand every morning and a well prepared team would clean them up before the tourists made there way to the beach in the morning. You did that long walk effortlessly.

The beach seems really narrow compared to when I was there in the 1970s. Looking forward to visiting next year.

enjoyed the walk we have done this a few times as well

Hi Chris. Wonderful walking tour of Waikiki Beach. Great information that I didn't know about. The name of the hotel from the Sheraton is the Princess Kaiulani. It's so sad that the erosion is taking away the sand from the area. It was great when we could walk really enjoy the Waikiki Beach area. I give you a pass for wearing shoes on the beach since it is a walking tour and you had to detour on the the sidewalk. LOL. Mahalo for sharing and take care.😀🤙

Is there any snorkeling along the beach? Like near the jetty? Thank you! Loved the video

8:07 I spent two years of my childhood jumping off of that wall and nearly drowning while my mom dealt with life by driving us from Mililani to Waikiki and letting my brother and I play for hours while she sipped a drink at The Shorebird that was there at the Outrigger. 😅❤🌊

Excellent vids Yellow man! Wondering if we get a meal at the Sheraton with the infiniti pool or the water slides will we be able to use the pools? Thank you for any help.

It’s been two months since I’ve returned from Waikiki from a family trip. My wife and I stayed at the Alohilani Resort. Other than a tiny bathroom and expensive parking rates, I’ve enjoyed the stay and for my first Hawaii trip, I’ve enjoyed the overall experience. If you haven’t done a review on Alohilani, I suggest a future video of it. I also predict videos of Kualoa Ranch and the North Shore as well.

Thanks for the walk. We usually are here for our anniversary during the past week. But we are busy being new parents. Next year! Which hotel are you staying at? We stay at Hyatt regency and sometime moana Surfrider

I love the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Stayed there twice within the past 4 years. They really need to update and make a few changes with their food places and remodel, but I love its location.

The park next to Hale Koa is actually also still part of Ft DeRussy and closes at 10pm. The sign you saw referred to the beach.

How many times have you been to Hawaii? You seem so knowledgeable. Ive been to Maui, Kauai, Big Island, and Oahu, but only once to each island. I haven't been to Oahu in 20 years, so Im sure a lot has changed.

Can we get by without a car? My husband and I are going next month and staying at Hyatt Place Waikiki. The hotel charges for parking but what about other places? Is Uber and public transportation an option?

Are you using a DJI Pocket 3 for this video? I saw the shadow in a few frames and wonder if that’s it?

Didn’t know that Waikiki had an “Inn of the Corps” location for the military…they have a really nice facility in Walt Disney World also…hope the Waikiki location is as decently affordable as their other resorts…

Chris, go to the army museum it only requires a donation and it is fascinating.

Not an expert, but I HAVE HEARD that the sand at Waikiki is imported. Maybe just a vicious rumor, but I think likely true, as there is not really anywhere else in Hawaii with so much sand. And where there is sand it is often a different color.

whats happpening to the beach i was there in 1981 and 1982 and there was beach all the way along the whole stretch of waikiki beach it s all gone much prefer the old honolulu spatts nightclub in the basement of the hyatt regency hotel great times

WOah! Are you still in Hawaii (Waikiki area)??? It would be awesome to get a picture with you!

Good thing you didn't see a barracuda

Good morning.

Is this just a rerun of the tour you did a couple of years ago?

whats crazy is the beach looks the same as my honeymoon back in 2015.. 9 years and about the same. the tide makes a huge difference from my trips there with how much beach is/isnt there.. but we all know in general waikiki beach is just imported sand anyways!

Can u recommend a good hotel that won't break the bank?.

Beware that if you stay near the Zoo you will hear the lion 🦁 roar!! 😊

680 Ala Moana Blvd #105, Honolulu, HI 96813. HIGHWAY INN RESTAURANT is the best, get dessert too!

Just came from Waikiki and honestly, I am not a fun of it. Too many tourists lol :P

These waves are a joke! I hope you visited the North Shore and did a walking tour there. I've love to still some large ones!

Gov Green may close all Maui rentals to tourists due to housing shortage in Maui.

Steak shack is the only reason to come to this area in my opinion 😂

No 360 here

mmm..i miss eating spam.

rainbow drive in not royal

The sand is from Molokai, why traverse the planet for sand.

Sound very winded when you walk and talk at the same time.
