After you've conquered Waikiki's waves, mountains and beaches (OK, the beaches didn't put up much of a fight), you'll find plenty of stellar sights around town. The tropical plants of the Foster Botanical Garden are always a hit – but watch your hands around the Mikinalo, Hawaii's only native carnivorous plant. Animal lovers will find plenty to enjoy at the Honolulu Zoo, a 17-hectare wildlife park packed with animals from all over the world. Or you can dive into US military history with a guided tour of Pearl Harbor, the famous naval base chock-full of landmarks and exhibits.
If you're looking for epic surfing, look no further – you'll be hanging ten and shredding the gnar in no time. Although the north shore's known for its legendary winter swells and annual surfing contests, you can find plenty of worthwhile waves here, too. Or achieve nirvana on one of Waikiki's sandy beaches, where you can enjoy sunbathing, swimming volleyball and more. Outdoorsy types can trek nearby Diamond Head, an extinct volcano with rainforest hiking trails and killer views. And you can always find something going on in happening Honolulu, with live music, theatre and other entertainment every night of the week.
Waikiki is close to many of the attractions of Honolulu. Holiday rentals are just a short distance from places like Iolani Palace, an opulent 19th-century palace that’s now a museum with tours and exhibits, and Manoa Falls, a giant waterfall with a hiking trail to the top. You’ll also like Nu’uanu Pali, a mountain cliff with an observation point for sweeping coastline views, and Bishop Museum, a museum showcase with exhibits on Hawaiian and Pacific Island cultures.
Waikiki has a tropical climate, with distinct wet and dry seasons and plenty of warm, humid weather all year round. Like the rest of Honolulu, Waikiki lies in Oahu's rain shadow, so the summers are relatively dry, and highs generally average around 32 degrees in June, July and August. Winters are wetter and on the cooler side, with average highs around 27 degrees in January. A major destination all throughout the year, you'll find that prices on Waikiki vacation rentals tend to stay about the same from season to season.

Along the water, you'll find plenty of sandy beaches, while the island's interior offers mountains, rainforest, waterfalls and an extinct volcano. Beachfront Waikiki vacation rentals are popular, and you can also find accommodations with private lanais, surfboard storage or mountain views.
