Fun Facts

With over 700 berths, Ala Wai Harbor is the largest small-boat harbor in the state, accommodating both recreational and commercial vessels.

The harbor was developed in the 1950s to support the growing demand for recreational boating facilities in Honolulu.

The harbor frequently hosts sailing regattas and is a hub for local and international sailing events.

The harbor is located next to the Ala Wai Canal, which was constructed to drain the wetlands of Waikiki in the 1920s.

Visitors to the harbor can enjoy picturesque views of the iconic Diamond Head crater, a symbol of Hawaii's natural beauty.

The harbor provides direct access to the Pacific Ocean, making it a starting point for many oceanic adventures.

The harbor hosts multiple yacht clubs, including the Waikiki Yacht Club and the Hawaii Yacht Club, fostering a vibrant sailing community.
