Travel
Flight
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport HNL
Hawaii has many islands so please take care to book your flights to HNL, to the city of Honolulu on the island of Oahu! From there, it will typically take around 20-30 minutes to travel to Waikiki. The majority of the wedding and hotels are centered in Waikiki.
House Or Rental
Sam & Andrew's VRBO
The bride and groom and their immediate family have reserved a VRBO in Kailua, where the welcoming and closing gatherings will take place. Kailua is about 30 minutes north of Waikiki and brimming with local personality. It is home to the famous white beach Lanikai, divine Island Snow shaved ice, and the Mt. Olomana Trail hike (Three Peaks). Whether you choose to stay in Waikiki or Kailua, there is no shortage of adventure and delicious options.
Hotel
AC Hotel Honolulu
A Marriott hotel, AC Hotel Honolulu is about 2 blocks from Cafe Julia! A great option for those who want to walk home after the festivities are over.

Things To Do
Don Quijote Honolulu
It's really no surprise that Sam likes to shop (to Andrew's chagrin). Don Quijote is a mega department store in Japan and their Honolulu location is equally a blast! Great place to find Asian and Hawaiian-based snacks and souvenirs!
Waikiki Beach
There is no bad beach in Hawai'i! For our visitors, Waikīkī Beach is easily accessible by many hotels and there is often music and local events happening nearby. Andrew and Sam had a date night at Spam Jam here in 2025!
Diamond Head Crater Trailhead
One of the most famous hikes and rightfully so. The Diamond Head is a volcanic hike towering over the city of Waikiki. It is about 1.6 miles, includes 175 stairs, and takes about 1.5-2 hours. It requires a $5 reservation per person and a $10 parking fee.
Hanauma Bay
This one is for the snorkel-lovers! The Hanauma Bay State Park is a family-friendly reef with beautiful wildlife and crystal clear waters. It does require a reservation (Adults $25, 12 and under are free), requires reef-safe sunscreen only, and can get crowded fairly quickly. Hanauma is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays because the fish need to rest too.
Iolani Palace
Conveniently next to our Cafe Julia reception venue, the Iolani Palace is the official residence of Hawai'i's monarchy. Built in 1882 by King Kalakaua, the Iolani Palace is the living restoration of a proud Hawaiian national identity. You can walk the opulent Throne Room, State Dining Room, and immerse yourself in the beautiful and tragic history of the Hawaiian monarchy.
