The Ala Wai Canal is a 2 mile, man-made waterway that runs from Kapahulu Ave, along Waikiki, and empties into the Pacific Ocean in the Kahanamoku Lagoon. The Ala Wai Canal was constructed in 1928 and shaped what we know to be Waikiki today. Bicycling through Waikiki can be stressful, which is why we created this route page. This route is for those who are looking for a cycle commute entirely off the roads.
To get around throughout Waikiki, use the bike lanes along Ala Wai Blvd and Kalakaua Ave.
It is against the law to ride a bicycle on the sidewalks in Waikiki.
The Ala Wai Park Trail and Lei of the Parks shared-use path are located outside the Waikiki boundaries.
Look for the Lei of Parks sign along your ride.
