In Hawaiian, “Waikiki” translates to “spouting fresh water” for streams and springs that once fed the wetlands in the area. Historically, the Waikiki area has long been a place for leisure. Popular for fishing, surfing and outrigger canoeing with ancient Hawaiians and later in the 1800’s, a retreat for Hawaiian royalty and a playground for celebrities and the wealthy.
