Everywhere and Anywhere is Paradise. Just start early, from sun-up to sun-down. Enjoy God's gifts and beauty!

Karaoke

I love going to all the karaoke bars in Honolulu/Waikiki. There are so many and one of my favorites is Station Bar & Lounge across the Convention Center in between Rockza and Quicksilver. They have free karaoke on the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month.

I Miss Living in Hawaii!

Drive past the pineapple fields and maybe stop at the Dole Plantation for pineapple ice cream! On your way towards North Shore and watch the sun set on the beach away from all city lights, the view is unforgettable! Oh, and if you happen to pass a small little shop while your visiting called Maui Mike's you should check it out - it's the best rotisserie I've ever had!

One Of The Things We Enjoyed!

Drive around the outside of the island in one day and eat at one of the shrimp trucks located on the side of the road on the North Shore.

Drive

Drive around the whole island. It usually takes about two hours non-stop, but we split it up into two days so we went everywhere before dark. The North Shore is "sick." Diamond Head is amazing. The blow hole is an experience and whales are freakin' everywhere! My uncle is native so we went to native hotspots such as Chinaman's Hat and local hidden beaches and parks! It was amazing and breathtaking, and natives keep their local beaches a secret and so will I!! Ha!

Very Helpful

I haven't went to Oahu yet, going March 11-18. I'm definitely anticipating snorkeling in haunama bay, and cannot wait! I'm definitely going to keep these in mind! Thanks!

hike manoa falls

Manoa falls is a great hike. You' ll be rewarded with beautiful scenery in the lush rainforest. Take the bus...it's cheap and takes you nearly to the entrance.

Iolani Palace

Iolani Palace is the best place to learn about Hawaiian royalty. We went to Bishop Museum hoping to be enlightened and were utterly disappointed with the negative atmosphere, scarcity of information, and lack of Aloha spirit. Then we went to Iolani Palace and were utterly impressed with the beauty, knowledge and historic stories!

AlohaBus Hop-on Hop-off

Check out http://www.alohabus.com/index.html the new Double Decker buses that are in Waikiki! I went from Cheesecake Factory all the way to Hilo Hattie and then they offered a free shuttle to the Swap Meet!
