Overview
Step onto the sacred sands of Waikīkī, where every wave whispers secrets of ancient kings and legendary surfers who changed the world forever.
This is more than a beach—it’s the birthplace of surfing, where Hawaiian royalty once danced on koa boards, and where Duke Kahanamoku, father of modern surfing, rode with unmatched grace and aloha. From local legends to Elvis, Bruno Mars, and even Aquaman himself, these waters pulse with stories you won’t find anywhere else.
Join Uncle Mo—lifelong Waikīkī surfer and storyteller—in his heartfelt love letter to the beach that raised him. Journey through five iconic stops and unlock powerful, hidden histories and soul-stirring tales most visitors miss.
Feel the mana—the sacred energy—in every breeze and swell. This immersive audio tour lets you explore on your own time, drawing you deep into Hawai‘i’s heart and soul.
Waikīkī and surfing are one—an eternal dance of culture, spirit, and aloha waiting just for you to discover.
