The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive Early for Parking

Validated parking is included but you must check in at the 3rd-floor front desk to access the 21st-floor Coconut Club elevator; plan 15–20 extra minutes.

Bring BYOB and Snacks

Alcohol and snacks are allowed — bring what you want to enjoy, but pack items in re-sealable containers to avoid spills on shared tables.

Dress for Paint and Breeze

Wear clothes you don’t mind getting paint on and bring a light layer for the evening trade winds on the balcony.

Phone Camera for Reference

Take a few reference photos of the sunset and view before the light changes; it helps if you choose to paint independently.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Coconut Club balcony lookout for sunset photos and skyline angles
  • Kapiʻolani Park’s grassy ridge for a quieter pre-class walk and surf-watch

Wildlife

  • Red-footed boobies and other seabirds around the reef
  • Occasional sightings of green sea turtles in nearby shallow waters

Conservation Note

Respect shorelines and reef life by avoiding collecting coral or disturbing wildlife; favor reusable cups and dispose of paints/solvents responsibly.

Waikiki was once royal shoreline and a center for early Hawaiian surfing culture; the area’s hotels and promenades grew during the 20th century tourism boom.

What to Bring

BYOB (Beverage of Choice)

Bring your own drinks to enjoy during the social session; cups and cleanup are your responsibility.
