They line up every morning, ready to take tourists on a beautiful cruise from Waikiki Beach out into the Pacific, but not too far offshore. The cats of Waikiki are a wonderful sight to see on any morning, but in particular on this winter morning in Hawaii.

Two Catamarans

When you walk along the beach in Waikiki at sunset, make sure you have your camera ready. You might see one of these sunsets. The dinner cruise boats and sailboats move slowly across the panorama.

Go to Kapiolani Park at sunset and you just might see one of these spectacular sunsets.

I love this shot! It won’t win any photography awards, but it absolutely says Aloha. From the Outrigger we can see the famous beach that stretches in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

From the Outrigger

Now this the life! We are looking out at Waikiki Beach from the Outrigger Hotel. This is, perhaps, the most famous beach in all of Hawaii, and one of the most famous in all the world, and for good reason. I took the shot late in the day and you can see the long shadows cast by the palms on the beach.
