Things To Do
Lanikai Beach
This is our favorite beach, perfect for a chillaxing beach day! The water stays calm and there are always sea turtles so great for swimming and first-time snorkelers. After an awesome beach day stop in town at Taqueria El Gallo Rosa for some of the best tacos.
North Shore - Three Tables Beach
This is by far the best snorkeling on the island. We recommend this only for good swimmers and you need both mask and fins to swim here. The waves and current can pick up in the winter months, but more likely than not the conditions will be great!
Haleʻiwa Bowls
This is our go to spot for acai bowls on the island, if you head to North Shore you must go here! We both love the Hapa Bowl (I add coconut sorbet and Kyle adds peanut butter and kiwi).
Duke's Waikiki
This is a wonderful restaurant in Waikiki Beach, Honolulu. It opens to the beach and has live music most nights!
Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman - Ko Olina
This is a great restaurant in the Ko Olina area and great for those staying nearby. This is the BEST Mai Tai on the island, so good it will be featured at our wedding. The menu doesn't read as anything inventive, but believe me, the food is wonderful and everything they make is absolutely delicious.
North Shore- Town of Haleiwa
The town of Haleiwa is historic and adorable. We love to walk around and visit the shops in the area. There are tons of shops and a few great restaurants, consider Haleiwa Beach House for a meal and Surf N Sea surf shop for beach supplies!
Waimea Beach Park & Waimea Botanical Gardens
Waimea Beach Park is also known as Sailboat Beach to Kyle and me. This beach is absolutely beautiful and a big tourist attraction on the island. In the summer the waters here are very calm and often sailboats will dock close to shore hence the name Sailboat Beach. It is quite the incredible view at sunset. Just across the street from this beach is the Waimea Botanical Gardens. Waimea Valley is hands down one of the most beautiful places on the island. There is a paved road through absolutely stunning Hawaiian jungle, with tons of stops on the way to see different flora and ancient ruins. At the end of the walk is a waterfall with a natural swimming pool. Definitely a cool Hawaiian experience and a wonderful way to learn while exploring.
Green World Coffee Farm
Cute, small coffee farm with free samples and great coffee.
Kahuku Farms
SO YUMMY! Amazing food and smoothies!!! Has picnic tables and plenty of seating. An adorable eatery with very fresh food (all grown at the farm right there!) and you can walk around the farm and see what they grow.
Raised By The Waves
Another great coffee shop!
CLIMB Works Keana Farms - Zipline Tour
The BEST ziplining option on the island.
Surf N Salsa
There are a TON of food trucks in this area, but this one is our favorite. Only place I have been able to find a shrimp burrito!
The Sunrise Shack
Fun place to stop for a treat if you go to Lanikai!
Taqueria El Gallo Rosa
Best tacos on the island!
Doraku Sushi Waikiki
Our favorite sushi spot!
Kahana Bay Beach Park
A beautiful calm beach area! This is where our engagement photos were taken.
1938 Indochine
A wonderful French Polynesian restaurant served tapas style with great drinks!
Kualoa Ranch
Where Jurassic Park was filmed! They have atv, jeep, horseback riding, and walking tours. Also have ziplining and other fun activities.
(Forgetting Sarah Marshall Cliff) Lāʻie Point State Wayside
The cliff from Forgetting Sarah Marshall! People do cliff jump here but it would be QUITE the swim, don't recommend that, but it is a beautiful site!
Island Brew Coffeehouse
Our favorite coffee shop to hang at! We love to come here after hiking the Makapu'u Lighthouse.
Makapu‘u Point Lighthouse Trail
A great walk/hike, the whole thing is paved! A great view and you can usually see whales from here!
Sunset Beach Park
Very popular but awesome beach to watch surfers.
Holokai Catamaran
Take a beautiful sunset sail around Waikiki. An opportunity to see dolphins and one of the prettiest sunsets on the island.
