Hindu temple
👍👍 It is not a Hindu Temple. The Hare Krishna's are not Hindus! Anyway, I really enjoyed my time here and especially my time spent with Srutakirti Das and the other devotees. If you are into spiritual life then don't miss visiting this wonderful place.

Waikīkī Beach Center
Beach
👍👍 Lovely calm beach. Located infront of the Hyatt. It's more of a giant swimming pool, as the rock wall blocks any waves. It gets very crowded during the day. It's convenient, and nice, but there are much nicer beaches on Oahu!
