Just because our wedding will not be in Oahu, does not mean we will not share with you our favorite places to explore around Oahu. We really hope you will visit and we will be able to spend time together at some of these spots, like we originally planned. <3
Lanikai Pillbox
Kailua, HI 96734
If you want some exercise and to see a beautiful part of the east side, this hiking trail is beginner friendly and takes about 30 minutes! Make sure you go during sunrise or sunset, as it gets very hot during the day. Plus, jump in the bluest water to cool down.
Koko Head Trail
Honolulu, HI 96825
Do you love stairs? This hike is sure to be a leg-burner. Once you get to the top, it is completely worth it. Highly advise to catch the sunrise during this hike!
Hanauma Bay
HI 96825
If you want to snorkel, this is your bay! It does cost to park and enter the bay, with also a mandatory 15 min viewing of an informational video. This bay is safe and very touristy.
Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail
Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail, Waimanalo, HI
"Push-your-baby-in-a-stroller" kind of hike . . . Gorgeous view of Makapu'u Beach and whale watching. Also, hike down to the tide pools at your own risk!
Fresh Catch Poke
3109 Waialae Ave., Honolulu, HI 96816, +1 (808) 735-7653
BEST POKE ON ISLAND. That's all . . .
Doraku Sushi

Haleiwa Bowls

Lei Lei's Bar & Grill
57-049 Kuilima Drive, Kahuku, HI 96731, (808) 293-2662
This restaurant is so wonderful! Located in Turtle Bay, on the gold course. Great place to take a hot date out. On the pricier side, and a great, "a hui hou" (farewell) dinner.
Banzai Sushi Bar
66-246 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa, HI 96712, (808) 637-4404
Put your sundress on, pull up to the lit-torches, and grab a pillow to sit on. This sushi bar is a fun place to split a roll and sake with someone you love. You will probably run into Kelly Slater.
The Beet Box Cafe
66-437 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa, HI 96712, (808) 637-3000
Scrumptious and aesthetic vegan food! There are two locations: one in Haleiwa and one in Kailua. I recommend the "Hello Burger"!
The Sunrise Shack

Best bulletproof coffee, paired with Laird Hamilton's creamer! Go on their website to get 15% off on your first order.
Seven Brothers "At the Mill"
56-565 Kamehameha Highway, Kahuku, HI 96731, (808) 852-0040
Crazy good burgers-and-salads-and-milkshakes joint. If you have a sweet tooth, you NEED to try the Banana Bread Sundae. Warning: if you love wild kittens, there are ton that will taunt you and wish you to feed them.
Kahuku Farms
56-800 Kamehameha Highway, Kahuku, HI 96731, (808) 628-0639
Anything and everything is so beyond scrumptious here - vegan, and all fresh from their farm. Highly recommend the lilikoi butter mochi as a desert.
Waimanalo Beach
Waimanalo Beach, HI
Children-friendly beach thats beach is protected by reef, so even when waves are big, it will be small here. Relaaaaax.
Sharks Cove
Pupukea, HI 96712
Get ready to cross off on your bucket list: snorkeling and cave diving. So many caves to swim through!
