By: Emma Susas

So, you’ve spent the day with us learning to surf the waves of Waikiki. Now what? Surf sessions are exhilarating, but the fun doesn’t have to stop when you hit the sand. Here’s your ultimate guide to unwinding and soaking in the magic of Waikīkī after your surf.

1. Set Sail on a Catamaran Sunset Cruise

There’s nothing quite like watching the sun dip below the horizon from the water. Hop on a catamaran sunset cruise and sip on your favorite drink while feeling the ocean breeze. It’s the perfect way to keep your aloha vibes going as the day winds down.

2. Grab a Bite and Sip a Mai Tai

After working up an appetite, treat yourself to some local flavors. Head over to Banán for a refreshing frozen treat, or stop by Mai Tai Bar for a classic Hawaiian cocktail. Whether it’s sweet, savory, or just pure tropical goodness, Waikīkī has your après-surf cravings covered.

3. Catch the Sunset from the Beach

Not in the mood to cruise? No problem. Some of the best sunsets can be enjoyed right from the beach wall or on the sand. Grab a towel, relax, and watch as the sky lights up in vibrant oranges and pinks—it’s a moment you’ll want to savor.

4. Take a Beachside Nap

For those who just want to recharge, nothing beats a peaceful nap under one of our iconic umbrellas. Feel the gentle sway of palm trees, listen to the waves, and let yourself completely unwind.

5. Shop at the Waikiki Beachboy Store

Finally, take a little piece of Waikīkī home with you. Pop into the Waikiki Beachboy Store for surf gear, apparel, and souvenirs. Located inside the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, just steps away from the beach, it’s the perfect place to cap off your day.

Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or a little bit of both, Waikīkī has plenty of ways to keep the post-surf vibes alive. Grab your friends, your board, or just your sense of aloha—and make the most of your evening in paradise.
