Waikiki Beach Summary: Waikiki Beach is perhaps the most famous beach in the world. The iconic Diamond Head crater in the background, combined with the swaying palm trees, beautiful beach, and world famous waves make this place one of a kind. The people watching is always great here and our customers lounge for days on end with our beach chairs, umbrellas, and coolers. The begginer surfing is famous here and many customers catch their first waves on the mellow rollers just off shore with our beginner surfboard rentals. Boogie boarding, snorkeling, swimming, and SUPing are also popular beach Waikiki beach activities. There are many restaraunts and shops nearby and many vacationers find themselves never leaving the Waikiki area. If crowds aren’t your thing then we would recommend some other beaches on the island, but Waikiki is popular for a reason, its always fun.

Waikiki Beach Relaxing: The beach at Waikiki is the most crowded in Hawaii, but that doesn't mean its not relaxing. The sun, sand, palm trees, blue/green water and tropical air are enough to relax even the most high speed person. Hawaii Beach Time rents large adrionak style beach chairs, or fold up recliners(easier to carry) for visitors to really kick back at Waikiki. Our Waikiki cooler rentals come with ice to keep your lunch and drinks cold, and our beach umbrella rentals are 6.5ft in diameter for maximum UV protection enabling you to spend much more time at the beach having a good time.

Hawaii Beach Time rents snorkel sets to Waikiki visitors on a regular basis where many of them get warmed up for Hanauma Bay or Sharks Cove where the snorkeling is out of this world. Waikiki snorkel rentals are inexpensive and we can deliver them right to the beach or your hotel 7 days a week 8am-8pm.

Waikiki Stand Up Paddle Boarding: Waikiki is a great place to try out the popular new sport of Stand Up Paddle Boarding. Hawaii Beach Time rents SUP boards at Waikiki beach on a daily basis where visitors can learn to paddle in the calm waters just off shore, and if you’re feeling brave, catch a wave. Many stand up paddle board rentals in Honolulu are very expensive, $30/hour at most stands….Not from Hawaii Beach Time, out Waikiki stand up paddle rentals (SUP rentals) are $39 for the entire day, including delivery right to you at the beach or your Waikiki hotel.

You’ll pay the same price for a full day rental from us, that you will for one hour at many nearby rental stands, and the delivery is free. If you leave the protected swimming areas there are many places where you can catch some small waves right into shore. It’s a good time even for experienced boogie boarders. If you’re planning on spending a day at Waikiki, renting a boogie board is a great option for some fun.
