Things To Do
FOOD - WAIKIKI
Earls Kitchen + Bar - Waikiki
New trendy restaurant in the heart of Waikiki.
Wasabi Bistro
Authentic sushi gem hidden in Waikiki.
Hau Tree
A short walk from Waikiki, this restaurant has a patio on one of our favorite beaches. Recommend for brunch beachside - make a reservation to guarantee a spot outside!
FOOD - OUTSIDE WAIKIKI
Aburiya Ibushi
Authentic Japanese izakaya run by the nicest family you'll ever meet.
Mud Hen Water
Where we had our first date! Amazing fresh, local, small plates.
The Pig and The Lady
Some of the best food in Honolulu. Vietnamese fusion and always perfection.
Fête
Farm to table restaurant in the middle of Chinatown, always great service and food.
DRINK
Green Lady Cocktail Room
Lively speakeasy with the best cocktails in Waikiki. Google how to get in before you go - it's not the easiest to find.
Mai Tai Bar
Classic beachside cocktails at the iconic pink Royal Hawaiian hotel.
POKE
Poke Fix Hawaii
Favorite poke inside of Waikiki.
Tamura's Fine Wine & Liquors Waialae
Poke spot that's also a liquor store. A few locations across the island. The best fresh poke on island and a true one-stop shop. Our favorites are any of the ahi, the hamachi, and the spicy pipikaula.
ACTIVITIES
Kualoa Ranch
Stunning property on the east side of the island - lots of different tour / activity options for all ages. We recommend taking the long way and spending some time driving around the east side of the island; the drive up there is gorgeous along the water with lots of scenic stops.
Hanauma Bay
Touristy but for a reason. A protected bay with some of the best snorkeling on the island. Reservation tickets go on sale 2 days before at 7am HST and they sell out very quickly so set an alarm!
