Diamond Head Hike
This is a popular hike close to Waikiki. It is a fairly easy hike about 2 hours roundtrip. Reservations required for out-of-state visitors
Pearl Harbor National Memorial
If you are into history, submarines, or battleships, Pearl Harbor has it all.
Dole Plantation Pineapple Garden Maze
World's largest outdoor maze
Polynesian Cultural Center
PCC is a great place to learn about cultures from around the pacific as well as to experience a Hawaiian luau and show. Fair warning: it is located about 90 minutes away from Waikiki and with dinner and a show is a full day activity
Byodo-In Temple
This is a replica of a temple in Japan and it is located in the same neighborhood where Spencer grew up. You can ring the giant bell outside the temple and also walk through it.
Germaine's Luau
If you want to experience a Hawaiian luau, this is your chance.
