Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon at Hilton Hawaiian Village, Waikiki Beach

Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon is a popular beach attraction located on Waikiki Beach, and it is part of the Hilton Hawaiian Village grounds. The lagoon was closed for renovation in 2006 and reopened in December 2007. The renovation cost was about $15 million!

The lagoon is is a great place to relax. The water is warm, calm and azure blue, surrounded by fine white sand and a grassy area. The Hilton lagoon has a scenic view to Diamond Head, the popular Rainbow Tower at the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel, the Hilton Pier and Waikiki Beach.

Even if you don’t stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village or other nearby hotels you are welcome to visit. There is plenty to do here - from swimming and paddling in the water, to relaxing and enjoying the surrounding views.

There is not a public beach shower at the lagoon but there are plenty at Waikiki Beach.
