For a special Hawaiian tradition, the Honolulu Festival happens in March, when the island comes alive with energy and cultural celebrations.

All these exciting events are just a stone’s throw away from the comfort of the Twin Fin.
Speaking of events and the Twin Fin, we have fun stuff happening right here at our hotel! If you’re with us, don’t miss our stellar Stargazing adventure. You’ll be perched above Waikiki Beach, gazing up at the night sky through our large telescopes — it’s a celestial experience you won’t forget. Want to take home more than memories? Join one of our Paint & Sip classes and bring home your Hawaiian masterpiece.
