What To Expect

Ala Wai Canal

The Ala Wai Canal is an artificial waterway in Honolulu, Hawaii which serves as the northern boundary of the tourist district of Waikiki. It was created in 1928 to drain the rice paddies and swamps which would eventually become Waikiki. It also serves as a primary drainage corridor for the rivers and streams that run through central and east Honolulu. The canal runs from just northwest of Kapahulu Avenue along the length of Waikiki, then turns southwest to empty into the Pacific Ocean. Bridges cross the canal at McCully Street, Kalākaua Avenue, and Ala Moana Boulevard. Ala Wai Boulevard runs parallel to the west side of the canal in Waikiki.

Shaxi was awesome to work with! After originally booking, it became apparent that the hike on Friday morning was going to experience some rain. After messaging Shaxi, Michael reached out right away and worked with me to change the time and day to a sunnier option :). Lisa and Michael went out of their way to make me feel like royalty on their tour. Such an easy fun filled tour which included a tour of Waikiki, Diamond Head hike, and then finishing with the famous Leonard's Bakery :). A perfect 3 to 4 hour excursion while in Oahu :). Don't hesitate to book with Shaxi!

Michael was our driver and tour guide. Fortunately, we were the only people on the tour that morning. Michael was very knowledgeable about local history and quite affable. The actual tour takes between 3-4 hours and the other 2 hours are spent hiking up Diamond Head. Word of warning: Make sure you wear good tennis shoes and light clothing for your hike. If you can, bring a bottle of water with you. I would consider this a moderate to hard hike primarily because of the uneven terrain. However, it is certainly worth the effort when you reach the top. Coming down is a heck of lot easier than going up! We were very impressed with the tour as it gave us a good local flavoring of Waikiki and the Diamond Head areas. We suggest you take it as early as possible during your visit to the Waikiki Beach area.
