For the quintessential Waikiki experience, grab your pup and head to The Surfjack, one of Waikikiโs pup-friendliest hotels. This swell little spot is one of only a handful of Honolulu hotels to welcome dogs of all sizes. There are no restrictions on how many dogs per room, and best of all, dogs stay free!
Start your day with a flat white from the excellent lobby cafรฉ and greet the dogs that stop by. While you wait for your coffee, peruse the tightly edited, modern souvenirs in the Banks Journal boutique and consider soaking up some of that Hawaiian sunshine poolside. The custom โWish You Were Here!โ pool is an Instagram shot waiting to happen.
Keep your eye out for Jack, The Surfjackโs canine concierge and hotel namesake. Jackโwho even hasย his own Instagram account, @jackthehoteldogโis available for play dates on the beach and can offer suggestions for pet-friendly spots around Waikiki. The hotelโs pet-friendly amenities include complimentary dog-walking, a doggy daycare service that picks dogs up directly from the hotel lobby, and a curated list of recommended dog brands, companies, and activities so you and your dog can enjoy all Waikiki has to offer.
Evenings youโll want to hit up the hotelโs award-winning Mahina & Sunโs for food, drinks, and island-vibe entertainment poolside. Then retire to your mid-century styled room for a good nightโs sleep. After all, youโll need it if you want to take part in the hotelโs most unique offeringโsurf and paddle boarding lessons with your dog. Available through Surfjackโs exclusive partner, SUPDog Hawaii, this is one vacation activity that youโll remember foreverโespecially as guests can also book a photo shoot with localย Oahu dog photographerย Keri Nakahashiย to capture the memories. Surfs up!
