Things To Do (not in Waikiki!)
Iolani Palace
Home to our royal family. It holds incredible history and is the setting of Queen Liliʻuokalaniʻs last days and the overthrow of the Hawaiian Nation. Also in the area is the King Kamehameha statue, Aliʻiolani Hale, and Kawaiahaʻo Church.
Bishop Museum
Extensive museum with A TON of Hawaiian history, a dinosaur exhibit, and planetarium. We recommend spending a day here!
Makapu‘u Point Lighthouse Trail
Enjoy this easy 1-mile hike up to a scenic view-point during whale watching season! Bring binoculars, water and remember to stay on the paved trails :) This hike is stroller friendly for those with little ones, and is one of my personal favorites to watch the sunrise.
Ala Moana Regional Park
A huge beach park with calm waters, jogging paths, volleyball, tennis courts, and a ton more! It's one of our favorite picnic and swim spots in Oahu. And the mall is just across the street!
Hawaiʻi Botanical Gardens
Admission to most parks is free with the exception of Foster Botanical Gardens where admission is $5. Hoʻomaluhia is arguably the most popular, but all of them are SO beautiful!
