The salt breeze off Waikiki has a way of steering conversations toward the ocean; on this private family walking tour it nudges you down the promenade and through easy, sunlit chapters of Honolulu’s shoreline. You begin along the Waikiki Walkway, toes of trade winds coaxing the group to slow and take in reef-edged waves and the distant silhouette of Diamond Head.
