Just a short stroll from the resort, this iconic statue honors Duke Kahanamoku, the father of modern surfing and an Olympic swimming champion. Located on Waikiki Beach, it’s a perfect spot to take a photo and learn about Duke’s contributions to Hawaiian culture and global sports.
The Healer Stones of Kapaemahu
Tucked near the Duke Kahanamoku statue, the Healer Stones of Kapaemahu are a sacred site of deep cultural and spiritual significance. Enclosed behind a protective fence, these stones—known as Nā Pōhaku Ola Kapaemāhū ā Kapuni—are believed to possess healing powers, bestowed by four Tahitian healers who once visited Oʻahu. This peaceful spot invites visitors to pause, reflect, and connect with the island’s rich spiritual heritage.
Kapiʻolani Park
Hawaii’s oldest public park, Kapiʻolani Park, is a scenic escape just a bit farther down Waikiki. Known for its sprawling green spaces and views of Diamond Head, the park is perfect for a leisurely walk, a picnic, or catching live performances at the Waikiki Shell.
