Dukes Waikiki
You know that image in your mind of Waikiki Beach, the one with Diamond Head in the distance and outrigger canoes in a turquoise bay of warm water?

Splash, body surf or windsurf, in the warm, turquoise water just below Hawaii’s icon, Diamond Head. You can even experience Waikiki from outrigger canoes – now that’s an experience you just have to take home! When it’s time to take a break, you can just stroll a short distance to some of the best shopping and parks in all of Hawaii.
