There’s never an offseason for travel here on the island of Oahu as average temperatures remain in the 80s throughout the year. Our tropical paradise remains a year-round haven for couples and families in need of a well-deserved escape from their hectic schedules, overcrowded streets, and stressful workplaces. Most travelers spend approximately 10 days in Hawaii, so it’s critical to research the top-rated Honolulu hotels, attractions, and restaurants well before your arrival. To ensure that your next Honolulu getaway is nothing short of flawless, we’ve pieced together 10 essential reasons to visit Prince Waikiki this fall.

The Top 10 Reasons to Visit Hawaii

Guests typically ask our friendly, knowledgeable concierge about these 10 activities, destinations, and attractions, regardless of the season. Your long-awaited 10 days in Hawaii will likely go down as the best vacation of your lifetime, especially if you add these must-dos to your itinerary.

1. Kaka’ako

Honolulu’s rapidly-growing arts district, known as Kaka’ako, is the most-visited neighborhood on the island of Oahu. Travelers and locals alike flock to this bustling, vibrant community to observe eye-popping street art, sip on medal-winning craft beer, and indulge in authentic, inventive local cuisine.

2. Diamond Head State Monument

The panoramic, awe-inspiring views obtained from Diamond Head’s peak will leave you breathless. The moderate, 1.8-mile hike is relatively steep, but this natural attraction is well worth the perspiration.

3. Friday night fireworks

Dozens of colorful fireworks soar into the night’s sky every Friday evening at Waikiki Beach. There are several idyllic vantage points throughout the city, including far out at sea, but none can top the view from Prince Waikiki’s pool deck.

4. Championship golf courses

Despite the fact that many of Honolulu’s best golf courses provide genuinely breathtaking Pacific Ocean views, the prices are surprisingly affordable. And don’t forget that we offer discounts to Hawaii Prince Golf Club.

5. The world’s largest open-air shopping center

The Ala Moana Center remains one of the most popular mid-day attractions on the island, especially for families. Prince Waikiki is a short bike ride from this shopping, dining, and live entertainment mecca, as well as to Luxury Row and the Duke Statue.

6. World War II significance

You can’t spend 10 days in Hawaii without visiting the Pearl Harbor National Memorial or Battleship Missouri. December 7, 1941, will always be one of the most significant days in human history, and there are over a dozen quintessential WWII stops on the island.

7. Ala Wai Boat Harbor sunsets

Some of the most vibrant sunsets on the planet can be witnessed from 100 Sails Restaurant & Bar and our lavish infinity pool. These heartwarming natural occurrences never get old.

8. Countless oceanic adventures

The warm, teal water that encloses our island getaway plays host to a wide variety of unforgettable aquatic activities, such as surfing, paddleboarding, snorkeling, fishing, and even swimming with dolphins.

9. The diverse culinary scene

Whether you’re aiming to try authentic Hawaiian cuisine, tasty fish tacos, or a ten-ounce ribeye pulehu steak, you’ll quickly discover hidden taste buds that you didn’t know existed. You’ll also have convenient access to world-class breweries, sleek cafes, and in-room dining when you choose Prince Waikiki.

10. Awe-inspiring waterfalls

If you’re planning to spend 10 days in Hawaii, we highly recommend embarking on an afternoon expedition to one of the three most beautiful waterfalls in North America: Manoa Falls, Maunawili Falls, or Likeke Falls.
