things to do in Hawaii?

sojirovskensi · 05-04-2012, 08:20 PM

Aloha,

I am going to Hawaii (Waikiki beach for 1 week) for my honeymoon in June, and was wondering any good restaurants or sightseeing locations.
We have planned for the dinner cruise, snorkeling, Luau, and the island tour with a rental car so far.

My priority is: good restaurant > sightseeing > activity > shopping

Thanks!

First and foremost....congrats.

In Waikiki food places...are you up to anything reasonable? Go to Roys in Beachwalk, Giovannis across the street for pastrami and sweet potato fries, Marukame Udon for....udon and tempura, Chibos for Okonomiyaki,...heck just holler when it gets closer.

We can walk you through Waikiki a bit to these places. At least point them out for you if you like. I am usually in Waikiki on Saturdays walking around and enjoying the scene and food places.

I would spend any reasonable price for the fine dining.
Those restaurants sound very yummy

I'll be in Waikiki on saturday night (very late) through the following Friday night.

Do you suggest any fun activities?

RandyD · 05-05-2012, 02:59 PM

the Kobi steak house is awesome there.

ZCarMan · 05-05-2012, 07:26 PM

Dukes was always a good when I was there as well.

rental car? If so, you can't beat breakfast at the Haleiwa Cafe on the North Shore.

Fresh prawns from the trucks on the north shore are also great.

Not a big fan of Waikiki, crowded and touristy in the extreme. On Oahu, much more relaxed with a rental car and staying at Turtle Bay on the north shore.

sojirovskensi · 05-06-2012, 12:24 PM

it looks like i have a good list of restaurants..
any fun activities or must-watch?
Thanks!

RandyD · 05-06-2012, 01:19 PM

visit the north shore.
pineapple plantation
Pearl Harbor memorial.
Hike Diamond Head.

genki370z · 05-06-2012, 05:17 PM

head to polynesian culture center- watch the fire show!!
head to Kaneohe Bay, head to GoZip. its an awesome ziplining place.
head to Aloha stadium Wed, or over the weekend for there swap meet.
take a helicopter cruise around the island.
if your into history, the Iolani Palace Tour.
take a drive around the island, its about 4 hours lol. depends on driving conditions.
head to Hanauma Bay. its awesome! lots of fish to look at.
for shopping purposes, cant go wrong with Ala Moana Mall, Waikiki strip.

Go to MAC 24/7 and try their pancake challenge...haha

I always liked MAC 24/7 after clubbing, the food was great. My fav was spinach omelet they made.

If you are planning on going to Hanauma Bay go early, like before sunrise early. Hiking up Diamond Head is neat and not too hard. There's also the Koko Head trail but some folks tend to twist an ankle there.

Oh yeah, the outdoor rigger restaurant is pretty good too. If I remembered the name correctly.
