Things To Do
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa
There's so much to do at Aulani, you may not even want to leave the resort. Please see the included link for information regarding canoe tours, spa reservations, snorkeling, sunrise yoga, ziplining, surfing lessons, and more! Please select the "excursions" tab on the activity link for more details.
Kualoa Ranch
We invite you to explore all the tour offerings from ATVs, to horseback, to E-bikes, to ziplines. We loved the 1.5 hour Movie Site & Ranch bus tour. Kualoa has something for everyone. This tour was a highlight of our previous trip and we highly recommend spending some time here. Please note that the ranch is about an hour drive East across Oahu from Aulani resort
Dole Plantation
The Dole plantation is a highlight of Oahu. We love the giant giftshop, fields of fresh pineapple to wander, and the variety of pineapple-themed treats and souvenirs.
Leonard's Bakery
Leonard's is famous for its "malasada." These are basically Hawaiian donuts and you donut want to leave without trying one (or two).
Diamond Head
"The Diamond Head (Lēʻahi) hike is a 1.6-mile round-trip trail in Honolulu that climbs 560 feet inside an ancient volcanic crater. It takes about 1.5 hours to complete and rewards hikers with sweeping, 360-degree views of Waikiki and the Pacific. Advance online reservations and fees are required." If any of our more adventurous guests would like to Hike Diamond Head we recommend setting a reminder for 30-days beforehand to reserve an entry ticket to the park in order to hike!
"Get Your Guide"
We have used "Get Your Guide" services in Chicago and Boston and been very pleased with the services. Please browse GetYourGuide tour offerings if you're looking for extra ways to fill your trip! Travis and I took advantage of a nighttime paddle-boarding and turtle-spotting tour last time we were in Hawaii. There are also cage-diving and snorkeling tours for our adventurous guests. Note: You are welcome to use any tours/services that you may find!
