Father’s Day is the perfect occasion to honor the dads in our lives, and where better to celebrate than Hawaii? With an awesome home-away-from-home base at Prince Waikiki, you can craft a memorable day filled with adventure, relaxation, and indulgence — whatever Dad wants to do! From teeing off on the greenest of fairways to hanging ten on a surfboard, here’s how to create the ultimate Father’s Day experience in Hawaii.

Start the Day in a Sun-Soaked Suite
Help Dad sink into the relaxed rhythm of island life in his own private oasis at Prince Waikiki. Choose from a luxurious 1-Bedroom Oceanfront Suite or a 2-Bedroom Oceanfront Suite if he’s celebrating with the crew. As a special surprise, arrange for an in-room amenity package to be delivered directly to the suite. Charcuterie and Fruit & Cheese Platters, a Banana Macadamia Nut Rum Cake, and a Local Two-Beer Pack are just a few of the options available.
Enjoy a Hearty (or Healthy) Breakfast
Since it’s all about Dad today, the first thing to do is treat him to breakfast. No matter if he’s a steak-and-potatoes kind of guy or a gourmand, we’ve got every breakfast base covered. At our Father’s Day Brunch Buffet at 100 Sails Restaurant & Bar, Dad can indulge in everything from Slow-Roasted Prime Rib and Porchetta, Snow Crab Legs, Ahi Poke, and Kalua Benedict to traditional waffles, omelettes, salads, and desserts.
For a quick start to the day, stop by Honolulu Coffee Company — our lobby stop for farm-to-cup Kona coffee, breakfast sandwiches, acai bowls, and more. And if Dad wants to sleep in for a bit, in-room dining means he can enjoy whatever he likes from the comfort and privacy of his oceanfront suite (views included).
Tee Off in Paradise
Now that Dad is fueled up for the day, he might enjoy a round of golf at Hawaii Prince Golf Club. Designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, this dramatic Honolulu golf course boasts three interchangeable nine-hole courses and a newly designed Par 3 course, giving Dad plenty of options to play the day away (or have a faster round with an Executive 9).
Take a Hike, Dad!
Maybe Dad prefers to exert himself a bit more when he’s in the great outdoors — and there’s nothing greater than the spectacular scenery he’ll take in with a hike on the Makapu’u Point Lighthouse Trail. Located at the easternmost point of O‘ahu, the trail offers a moderate hike with panoramic views and, during certain seasons, opportunities to spot whales.
Ride the Waves
For the more adventurous father, schedule a surfing lesson with a surf school like Kahu Surf School or Stoke Drift Surf School. Both offer private lessons, group sessions, and equipment rentals. If Dad already has the surfing basics down, be sure to check out our blog article “A Guide to Surfing in O‘ahu” for the best recommended spots to hang ten.
Honor History Together
For the history-loving dad, a visit to Pearl Harbor National Memorial provides a poignant and educational experience. Explore the USS Arizona, Oklahoma, and Utah Memorials and learn about the events that shaped history. It’s a meaningful way to reflect and honor the past together.
Head to the Beach
If relaxation is on the agenda, spend some time at Ala Moana Beach Park. Frequently voted one of the best city parks in the US — and just a 6-minute walk from Prince Waikiki — this beach park offers calm waters ideal for swimming and paddleboarding, as well as a variety of amenities like outdoor showers, picnic pavilions, food stalls, barbeque grills, and more.
Have a Father’s Day Feast
Conclude the day with a sumptuous dinner at 100 Sails Restaurant & Bar (an excellent choice if you didn’t indulge at breakfast). From June 12 to 15, there’s a special Father’s Day Dinner Buffet featuring an array of delectable dishes. Or head to our Hinana Bar for cocktails by the pool, casual eats, and live entertainment. Either way, it’s going to be a great Father’s Day night out.
