Hawaiian Santa to make his annual stop at Outrigger Waikiki & Outrigger Reef
HONOLULU, OAHU, HAWAII – HO! HO! HO! Forget the sleigh and reindeer. This holiday season, Hawaiian Santa will be arriving in an outrigger canoe at Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach; and because of his busy schedule, Santa will be surfing in on Saturday, December 10, at 9am. The public is invited to extend a special aloha to this VIP guest, who will be greeted by the keiki of Halau `O Pua Kahale with a gift of hula. Afterwards, complimentary photos with Santa will take place in the hotel lobby.
But that’s not all. Because everyone at Outrigger has made Santa’s “nice” list, he’ll be making a second appearance, this time at a special Breakfast with Hawaiian Santa event at the Outrigger Reef on the Beach on December 20 and 21 from 8am,-10am. Guests can enjoy a scrumptious buffet that includes scrambled eggs, steamed white rice, country fried potatoes, crispy bacon, Portuguese sausage, assorted pastries, fresh fruits, cereal and a choice of coffee, milk or juice - all for only $22 per person, inclusive of tax, tip and a free photo with Santa; $11.50 for children age 5-11 years old and children 4 years and younger are free. This popular event, which includes picture taking with Santa, balloon art, and face painting, usually sells out so be sure to reserve your seats early. For reservations call (808) 924-4990. This event is open to the general public and validated parking is available for only $5.
“Outrigger Hotels & Resorts is a family-oriented company and we believe that it is important to celebrate special occasions with family & friends,” said Patsy Narimatsu, Director of Sales and Marketing for the Outrigger Waikiki and Outrigger Reef hotels. “These memorable events always bring much needed joy and cheer to everyone, so be sure to be on your best behavior ‘cause Santa is in town!”
