Watch Santa Make a Visit by Canoe

-


A picture of Santa goes viral as Christmas comes early.

On Dec. 9, the big man will head to Hawaii for a visit to the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort. He won’t be arriving by sleigh, but rather in a much more Hawaii-friendly fashion in his own personal canoe.



Guests are invited to cheer Santa on as he makes his way to shore at the resort. According to Outrigger, Santa and his helpers will ride the waves right onto Waikiki Beach where they will be warmly greeted by a keiki hula group.
