  Daily, 11:00am
  The colorful history of Duke Kahanamoku, Hawaii's most decorated waterman and the father of modern-day surfing, comes alive in "Surfing 101." Presented by Waikiki Beach Activities* at the Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon, this 30-minute "talk story" session includes an historical overview of Duke Kahanamoku by expert Hawaiian waterman Ka'ai Bruhn, winner of the Molokai Hoe (Molokai-to-Oahu canoe race). The Surfing 101 session wraps up with a brief demonstration of surfing techniques by one of two renowned watermen, Clyde Aikau or Errol Kane. Aikau is a famous big-wave surfer and winner of the Duke Kahanamoku Surfing Championship, and Kane is a popular local surf instructor. The complimentary sessions are exclusively for hotel guests and may be the best 30 minutes spent in Hawaii!

• Atlantis Submarines*
  Enjoy one of Oahu's premier attractions, an undersea adventure aboard a high-tech submarine, conveniently located at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. Atlantis Submarines allow you to explore artificial reefs, teeming with fish, along with the wreckage of sunken ships and an old passenger plane that was submerged for the fun of exploration.
    
  A shuttle boat takes passengers on a ten minute scenic cruise from the Port Hilton Dock out to sea to the Atlantis Submarine dive site. There they board a real passenger submarine and dive 120 feet below the ocean's surface into the habitat of countless exotic sea creatures mingling among the Atlantis reef, while a knowledgeable guide provides interesting information about the marine environment.
  
  Tour Schedule
  Tours depart daily every hour between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. (on the hour) from the Port Hilton Dock at Hilton Hawaiian Village. Children must be 36 inches tall to ride the submarine. (Schedule subject to change.)

• Spirit of Aloha Catamaran*
  Explore the Waikiki coastline abord The Spirit of Aloha, a modern 54-foot catamaran. Its captain and three lifeguard-certified crew members are available to answer guests’ questions about the ocean, navigation, sea life and marine conservation. Whales, dolphins and green sea turtles are just a few of the creatures that can be seen on any given tour. Passengers also enjoy unobstructed views of Waikiki Beach with a backdrop of the Ko`olau mountains, and in the evenings the twinkling Honolulu skyline. The catamaran’s custom-designed sunset-orange and maile lei sail is a stunning contrast to the azure Pacific as it sails along the Waikiki coastline.

  Amenities featured on The Spirit include a full bar with draft beer; a large fully-enclosed and covered cabin with table and bench seating; two full restrooms; freshwater shower; surround-sound system and multiple stairway entry points for snorkelers entering the water. Ample outdoor areas for sunning are available both fore and aft of the vessel.

  Passengers board the Spirit of Aloha from the pier at Duke Kahanamoku Beach right in front of the resort.
