This drone image was taken on the Waikiki property of Hilton Hawaiian Village, looking down onto the Hilton Lagoon, Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon Boardwalk and Kahanamoku Beach. To get here, arrive at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki hotel and then walk southwest toward the lagoon, which is next to Kahanamoku Beach. You can also park in Ala Moana Bowls Parking Lot (21.281713, -157.840459) and then walk a short distance north to the lagoon. I stood next to the Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon and launched my drone straight up. Reference the GPS coordinates and you'll be able to get to the exact spot where I stood.
