There are no bad angles at the Waikiki Beachcomber by Outrigger, which was created for the ultimate millennial experience.

To make it picture-perfect, the best Instagram hotel in Hawaii collaborated with designers by forming the “Beachcomber Originals” – a collective group of socially-savvy taste-makers that includes prominent surf photographer, Zak Noyle.

From an extreme-surf photographer to a Hawaiian fiber artist and an internationally acclaimed slack-key guitarist, the 12 artists collaborated with Waikiki Beachcomber by Outrigger to create a one-of-a-kind journey for guests, while sharing their personal inspiration and passion for the Hawaiian culture and to help guests get into the aloha-spirit.

Apart from Waikiki Beach, Kuhio Beach and Fort DeRussy Beach are also high on the radar of surf-lovers or those trying their hand for the first time with surf lessons.

About a 15-minute drive from Waikiki, Diamond Head State Monument provides a scenic morning or afternoon hike on the edge of the crater of a 300,000-year-old volcanic “tuff” cone. The 2.5km round-trip walk to the summit is well worth the effort for the sublime views.

Experience a fun evening of delicious food, hilarious comedy, traditional Hawaiian dance, and magic with award-winning illusionist John Hirokawa at the unforgettable Magic of Polynesia Dinner Show.

The 4,000-acre Kualoa Ranch Private Nature Reserve is on the eastern shore of Oahu at Kaneohe Bay. Nestled in valleys sacred to ancient Hawaiians, the ranch has frequently served as a set for movies and TV series, such as Jumanji, Jurassic Park, Hawaii Five-0, and Lost. Activities include kayak adventure tours, Jeep expeditions, ziplining, and horseback riding.
