If snorkeling isn't your thing, but you'd love to see all of the beautiful tropical fish Hawaii has to offer the Waikiki Aquarium will not disappoint. We were pleasantly surprised by the amount and variety this aquarium had to offer.
Hanauma Bay has the BEST snorkeling! If you have time and are wanting to see all of the beautiful tropical fish that Hawaii has to offer we highly recommend snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. If you will not have a rental car there are a few different companies that offer Hanauma Bay Snorkeling Services that will pick you up from your hotel.
This hike takes you up to a beautiful panoramic view of the island. Our recommendation would be to try and go as early in the morning as possible and make sure to bring lots of water to keep you hydrated!
Beachside restaurant with great food, drinks and all day party atmosphere. Highlights include a daily lunch buffet and the Henry Kapono band playing the beach party all afternoon on Sundays. When in Waikiki, do it like Jenny and add an extra shot to your cocktail, you'll be known as the 'fun one'!
This place is fantastic for breakfast! It is one of Yao's favorite places to get loco moco. We make sure to stop here every trip! Right above Dukes, with a great view of the beach.
We highly recommend giving their pineapple beer a try as well as their pizza!
The BEST matcha ice cream!
A tiny beach bum diner with the most authentic loco moco and some of the best breakfast bowl and coffee options on the island. The line goes out the door, so get there early!
Another breakfast and brunch diner spot. Eggs Benedict and the Souffle Pancakes are to die for! As with all the hot breakfast spots, expect long lines here as well.
A Japanese Food Hall experience! A world of restaurants and entertainment to explore straight out of a Japanese Mall. Our favorites are the Sizzle BBQ and the Dessert Stand serving all kinds of sweet treats. There are also an overwhelming amount of ramen, udon, tempura and poke bowl options, indulge to your heart's content!
Upscale, oceanfront bar with live music where mai tais are sipped outdoors under a Banyan tree. Very cool atmosphere at the Beach Bar. We also love their burgers and drinks!
