For those that don’t know, Halloween at Waikiki Beach is awesome!
After the children have collected all the candy, the adults come out to play! We arrived about 9:00pm and there were already tens of thousands of people dressed in wild costumes partying in the streets! The time goes by quickly and the crowd thins considerably by 1:00am at 2:00am the bars are closed and most of the civilized participants have abandoned the streets.
Some tips to make your trip more enjoyable:
1. Arrive early – we finished the rounds at home with our children first and encountered heavy traffic on the way in. Plan on being on site by 8:00pm if not earlier.
2. Stay in a Waikiki Hotel. You don’t want to worry about designated drivers or traffic.
3. Eat before you arrive and bring snacks and drinks. The place will be crowded if you stop to eat, drink, or even use a bathroom you will lose more time than you bargained for.
4. Have your alcoholic beverages in advance or be prepared to spend a fair amount of time fighting the crowd and waiting on drinks in a club.
5. Wear comfortable shoes if possible. The main attraction is walking up and down the street admiring all the creative costumes.
6. Don't be naked? - Many of the participants are scantily dressed if not wearing in part only tape or paint. There are many police mostly posted at the traffic intersections. Presumably the police might respond negatively to full out public nudity.
