Established in 1904 and managed by the University of Hawaiʻi, the Waikīkī Aquarium holds the distinction of being the second-oldest public aquarium in the United States. Situated on a 2.35-acre oceanfront parcel in Waikīkī on Oʻahu, the Aquarium has spent more than a century advancing the study and appreciation of Pacific marine life — and its setting along the water makes it one of the more distinctive event locations on the island. Evening facility rentals bring exclusive access to the full grounds: the manicured lawn facing Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean, the indoor Aquarium Galleries showcasing tropical marine communities of the Hawaiian and Pacific ecosystems, the 7,500-gallon "Edge of the Reef" outdoor exhibit that recreates a living Hawaiian shoreline, and the Hawaiian Monk Seal habitat. The open lawn accommodates up to 450–500 guests for cocktail receptions and up to 300–350 for seated dinner functions. Rentals are available on Tuesday and Saturday evenings. For questions and availability, the Aquarium's events office can be reached at (808) 440-9008 or events@waikikiaquarium.org.

Dillingham Ranch is a historic 2,700-acre working ranch in Mokuleia on Oahu's North Shore, offering an extraordinary setting for weddings, corporate retreats, yoga gatherings, and family celebrations. Established in 1897 by Benjamin Franklin Dillingham — Hawaii's first railroad tycoon — the property has been shaped by generations of one of Hawaii's most influential families and counts Noel Coward, Prince Hussein of Jordan, and General George S. Patton among its legendary guests. At the heart of the property sits Dillingham Lodge, a restored Big House built in 1917, featuring a 3,000-square-foot great room with hardwood floors and a fireplace, a professional 700-square-foot commercial kitchen, and eight private bedrooms. The grounds encompass roughly 19 acres of oceanfront land stretching toward the Waianae Mountains, the largest coconut tree grove in Hawaii, and the polo grounds widely regarded as the birthplace of Hawaiian polo. From white sandy beaches and open grassy fields to mountain terrain and tropical forest, Dillingham Ranch delivers the full breadth of Hawaii's landscape in a single, secluded destination on the North Shore.
