The Check In: Surfjack Hotel & Swim Club, Waikiki, Hawaii

For the quintessential Waikiki experience, grab your pup and head to The Surfjack, one of Waikikiโ€™s 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 โ€œWish You Were Here!โ€ pool is an Instagram shot waiting to happen.

 

Keep your eye out for Jack, The Surfjackโ€™s canine concierge and hotel namesake. Jackโ€”who even hasย his own Instagram account, @jackthehoteldogโ€”is available for play dates on the beach and can offer suggestions for pet-friendly spots around Waikiki. The hotelโ€™s 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 youโ€™ll want to hit up the hotelโ€™s award-winning Mahina & Sunโ€™s for food, drinks, and island-vibe entertainment poolside. Then retire to your mid-century styled room for a good nightโ€™s sleep. After all, youโ€™ll need it if you want to take part in the hotelโ€™s most unique offeringโ€”surf and paddle boarding lessons with your dog. Available through Surfjackโ€™s exclusive partner, SUPDog Hawaii, this is one vacation activity that youโ€™ll remember foreverโ€”especially as guests can also book a photo shoot with localย Oahu dog photographerย Keri Nakahashiย to capture the memories. Surfs up!
