What to do in Hawaii??? Ok well I'll be on my way to Oahu,Hawaii next weekend :D Im so excited..Anyway so i've read some of you guys have been there before and would like to know what is a MUST do, and NOT do...Ive done some research online and found lots of fun things to do but i'll be there for 2 weeks and need more stuff... I would really appreciate it..Thanks |
i've never been but i'd be interested to hear what people say :) |
If you are going to be there 2 weeks, I would recommend going to some of the other islands. I've only been to Oahu - but everyone says some of the other islands are even more beautiful. On Oahu, this is what we did Wakiki beach Honalulu shopping snorkling in the famous bay that starts with an H :confused: Dole pineapple plantation Cultural Center is a must Diamond Head Pearl Harbor We went to a rain forest right outside of Honalulu - took a guided tour We rented a car and drove the road completely around the island - cool! Watched the surfers on the opposite side of the island from Honalulu That's all I can remember - we were only there 5 days though. I'm sure there is tons more to do and some others will help you out. |
It's been years since I have been but I would suggest going to some of the other islands. It is just a short plane ride and not expensive. Maui has the most beautiful beaches and is not as crowded as Oahu. Kuaie (sp) has lush tropical places and is so green and beautiful. The big island has the volcano which is very interesting. It wasn't active when we were there and we got to drive thru it. Definitely do the other islands. I didn't think I would enjoy it but the boat trip to Pearl Harbor was very interesting. Enjoy.

I definitely recommend snorkeling in Hanauma Bay and if you can rent a car and drive up to the North Shore. It's absolutely gorgeous up there!! If you do end up driving to the North Shore, I recommend stopping at the Turtle Bay resort and eating at their beach side restaurant and then going to the public beach there. The water is awesome!! I hope you have a great time!! :D |
i've never been but hope to go one day! |
We had a fun time in Hawaii. I think that everyone should visit the USS Arizona at one time in their lives. It can be really emotional for people with military ties in their family. We rented a convertible and drove all the way around the island, which was really nice. Make sure you stop and buy a fresh pineapple from there. There are also lots of seaturtles on the northwest shore. It is one of the only places in the world that sea turtles will actually come out of the water OTHER than to lay eggs. One of my friends has a picture of her kid next to one sunbathing on the beach. Touching them is illegal though. Have fun! |
I definitely wanna go snorkeling in Hanauma Bay :thumbup: I read alot of good things about it...Im also planning to go to other islands and see what they have to offer...Thank you guys...I sure am gonna enjoy this trip:p |

What to do in Hawaii??? FIND Tom Selleck (Magnum PI)and BRING HIM TO ME ! |
I went to Oahu about 7 years ago YIKES!! Feels like yesterday sometimes! You gotta do a lu'au (obviously) and I would hike Diamond head (hike to the top, its fun) and then the other obvious is to go to Pearl Harbor. Other than that... we rode one of those ocean bikes, that was kind of cool and we went out to the Dole Plantation and you could learn to surf in the Bonsai Pipeline (best surfing in the world) ... and snorkling at Hanuma Bay! We also did a catamaran dinner cruise which was a BLAST with polynesian dancing! And we went to some reservation where you pick 2 activities from like horse riding, kayaking, atving, etc... and you get an hour with each activity and there are natives doing dances and making things like pots and crowns from tree leaves, there is also amazing cliff diving shows... it was really cool!!! Oh and the marketplace! You gotta go to the marketplace! And see Christian Larson's studio.. hes an artist out there and his work is beautiful!! We also went to some dinner/magic show that was very entertaining! I can't remember the guys name though (this WAS almost 7 years ago, he might not be there anymore) there are NO turtle's in turtle bay! haha We were driving around the island and saw a sign for turtle bay so we went to it and were disappointed that not only could you not swim, but there were no turtles! ;) Hope I helped!!! I loved it out there... I felt sooo at home! |
