Watch the Sunset Over Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon

Honolulu, Hawaii

Description

Added by Andy

It is also known as the Hilton Lagoon in Waikiki.

The lagoon is an amazing place to watch the sunset and on Tuesday and Friday nights there are fireworks! But it is equally as fun during the day. The lagoon is man-made is is great for families with young kids. There are no waves in the lagoon and the deepest part is only 8 ft. It can feel like being in a sandy swimming pool.

Although it is also called the Hilton Lagoon in Waikiki, it is open to the public.

On the way up the mountain you will start on a wide paved path that starts out relatively flat but gets steeper on the way up. Once the trail starts to go up it gets a lot steeper and starts dirt trail with lots of switc...
