Things To Do
Na Ala Hele: Manoa Falls Trail
If you're looking for a hiking trail that could be classified as more of a "walking trail", yet still offers up gorgeous scenery, then Manoa Falls Trail should definitely be on your Oahu must-do hikes list. If you're like many people who either cannot hike the strenuous trails, you'll be relieved to know that the Manoa Falls Trail definitely falls on the "walk" end of the walk-hike spectrum, with a roundtrip distance of just 1.6 miles and an uphill grade that isn't too demanding. The trail is located just a 15-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of urban Honolulu, but once you're on its path, surrounded by the lush, verdant views of Manoa Valley, you'll feel like you're in a completely different world.
Jurrasic Park Tours at Kualoa Ranch
Dianna, I know you will love this one. Tour where they filmed Jurrasic Park. You can tour via ATV and ride around like Alan Grant escaping the TRex.
Waikīkī Beach
Famous beach in Honolulu with a stunning view of Mt. Dimond Head. This beach has soft waves and gorgeous sunsets.
Hike Diamond Head Crater Trail
Open from 6am - 4pm this is the ultimate hike for the best Hawaiian Sunrises. Hawaii’s most recognized landmark is known for its historic hiking trail, stunning coastal views, and military history. Diamond Head State Monument encompasses over 475 acres, including the interior and outer slopes of the crater. The 0.8 mile hike from the trailhead to the summit is steep and strenuous, gaining 560 feet as it ascends from the crater floor.
The Byodo-In Temple
This gorgeous Buddhist Temple is a MUST. It's gorgeous, peaceful, and serene. The Byodo-In Temple is located at the foot of the Ko'olau Mountains in the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park. It was established on June 7, 1968, to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the first Japanese immigrants to Hawaii. The Byodo-In Temple in O'ahu is a smaller-scale replica of the over 950-year-old Byodo-in Temple, a United Nations World Heritage Site in Uji, Japan. The Byodo-In Temple is a non-practicing Buddhist temple that welcomes people of all faiths to worship, meditate or simply appreciate its beauty.
Dole Pineapple Plantation
On our first trip to Hawaii, we accidentally came across this wonderful pineapple plantation. They have a whole market inside along with a small farm you can walk through where they grow their pineapples. They are also famous for their pineapple solf serve ice cream. We were NOT a fan of the ice cream --- but this was the BEST pineapple I ever had.
Pearl Harbor National Memorial
December 7th, 1941 is when Pearl Harbor occurred. We will be there during the 82nd anniversary of the horrific event. In a historical landmark mood, check this place out and pay your respects to those who fell during this battle.
