Soon after we arrived home from our vacation, I read this in the Travel section of the Advertiser: KanDoo! Island, a floating playground 200 yards off Waikiki, has officially launched. The "island" is a steel catamaran that includes a water slide, water trampoline, sun deck, four bars, and food service among other activities...
KanDoo! Island operates 9 am to 9 pm daily with food and beverages served all day. After sunset, Kandoo! becomes a romantic evening getaway spot/nightclub. ... A four-hour admission to the island is $20 for adults, $10 for children, plus the cost of activities. [note: I'm sure food is pricey, too.] www.gokandoo.com
I was horrified, sick to my stomach, and shocked all at the same time. I haven't been able to get into Waikiki and view it for myself, but I will soon. I'm at a complete loss as to how this monstrosity was allowed, yet folks are STILL fighting (and will for a while) about how an elevated track for rapid transit will ruin Chinatown. Four words for you people: Chinatown is already ugly. But mooring this "catamaran" off the beach in still-prized waters could have been avoided. I guess it could be worse. It's not there 24/7. If you want to have a nice stroll along the beach without this on the horizon, you have a very brief window in the morning.
