Who’s already planning their Christmas holiday plans? Why not head to Oahu this Christmas! One of the holiday season’s most recognized figures, Santa Claus, is scheduled to make a return visit to a few of the Outrigger hotels there this December with two popular Christmas in Hawaii events that are open to the public.
Hawaiian Santa Arrives by Outrigger Canoe
December 8 – Saturday, 9 am, Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach
Welcome Santa Claus as he arrives via outrigger canoe on the beach in front of the Outrigger Waikiki hotel. Hundreds are expected on Waikiki Beach as Santa sheds his sleigh for this island mode of transportation powered by Waikiki beach boys. Keiki (children) from Halau `O Pua Kahale will be on hand to greet Santa Claus with a gift of hula. The arrival will be followed by complimentary photo-taking with Santa in the hotel lobby. Free and open to the public.
Breakfast with Santa Claus
December 18 and 19 – 8 am to 10 am, Outrigger Reef on the Beach
What child doesn’t dream of having just a few precious moments with Santa Claus to whisper in his ear their special holiday wish? Kids can do just that and more at this year’s Breakfast with Santa set for two mornings this December at the Outrigger Reef on the Beach. A buffet breakfast, picture taking, balloon art, and face painting are all part of the morning’s activities on December 18 and 19; but the highlight certainly will be the time children spend with Santa. $25.00 per person, inclusive of tax, tip and FREE photo with Santa; $12.50 children 5 – 11 years; children 4 years and younger eat free. Reservations required: 808-924-4993.

Two years ago, we spent Christmas in Waikiki. On Christmas Eve we just happened upon a beautiful young (and old) group of children singing and dancing along the shoreline. Then we noticed that they were awaiting the arrival of Santa in the canoe. Will this be happening again this year? We are lucky enough to be back for the holidays!
