The Hawaii Fish Auction is a one of a kind experience. It’s a great peek into the commercial fishing world and where you can get up close to the auction action. The day starts at 1:00 am.

There are many sides to Waikiki, Hawaii’s biggest city and many ways to spend a day. Of course, you can relax pool side drinking blended drinks, play in the surf or shop the many ultra high end stores in town. Or you can seek out another side to this cosmopolitan Hawaiian locale; one that includes hiking in a bamboo rainforest, finding some of the best city views by bike and ending the day with a catamaran sail.
