Something Fun Happens Every Night

At Waikiki Beachside Hostel, there’s always something happening once the sun goes down. Each evening features a different activity designed to help guests unwind, have fun, and meet other travelers.


Mondays are for wine and cheese in the lounge, a relaxed way to start the week and connect over good conversation. Tuesdays bring out the competitive side with game night, hosted by the staff and full of laughs. On Wednesdays, things get creative with arts and crafts. Guests can paint, draw, or just enjoy trying something new. All supplies are provided, and even Bob Ross makes an appearance on screen for inspiration.


Thursday turns up the volume with karaoke and cocktails. It’s the perfect night to sing your favorite songs and enjoy a fun, energetic crowd. Fridays are made for exploring, starting with a group walk to the beach to catch the Hilton’s free fireworks show. It’s a great way to take in the night sky and enjoy the city together.


On Saturdays, the social mixer brings everyone back together for margaritas and casual conversation. It's an easy way to meet fellow travelers and swap stories. Finally, Sunday wraps up the week with movie night. Grab some popcorn, pick a spot in the lounge, and wind down with a film picked by the host or suggested by guests.


No matter which night you arrive, there’s always a reason to hang out, join in, and make your stay even more memorable.
