Oahu, Honolulu & Waikiki

Home to the State Capitol, Honolulu is the vibrant epicenter of the Hawaiian Islands. Here you’ll find everything from historic landmarks and treasured monuments to world-class shopping and a flourishing arts and culture scene. The sprawling city of Honolulu spreads throughout the southeastern shores of the island of Oahu, from Pearl Harbor to Makapuu Point, encompassing world famous Waikiki, Oahu’s main hotel and resort area.

 
Along the main strip of Kalakaua Avenue you’ll find shopping, dining, entertainment, activities and resorts. Waikiki is most famous for its beaches, and the beach is just across the street from the Marriott Waikkiki, AICI’s 2012 conference hotel. There are other attractions in Waikiki like the Honolulu Zoo and the Waikiki Aquarium, both offering fun for the whole family. You can learn about the history of Waikiki by reading the surfboard markers along the Waikiki Historical Trail. Fantastic shopping and dining can be found all along Kalakaua and Kuhio Avenues and at gathering places like the Royal Hawaiian Center and the Waikiki Beach Walk. And the fun keeps going long after the Waikiki sunset with amazing nightlife and live music.

Best of all, Waikiki is within a half hour of a variety of Oahu attractions, including Pearl Harbor, Lolani Palace, the Nuuanu Pali Lookout and Hanauma Bay. Other notable points of interest nearby include Ala Moana Center, the local neighborhood of Kapahulu and the arts district of Chinatown.

So plan to come early or stay later, as the Marriott Waikiki is extending the conference rate two days prior and two days after the conference dates. (Click here for hotel registration information).
