It depends on what you like, but a trip out to Pearl Harbour is a must. The boat ride to the memorial is pretty special in itself, but the atmosphere of the memorial is something not to miss. I did an Island tour which included Pearl Harbour and I highly recommend that, it took us up to the north co...

Outside of Honolulu Walmart, Kmart, and Borders are the best places to get the tourist stuff. These Big Box stores beat prices and have more stock to chose from.
Have no shame in going to these places.

I just moved off Oahu after 4 years of living there and can tell ya that renting a car and taking a drive around the shore is AMAZING and its a great way to scope out some culture and great views. Its the shortest coast drive of all the islands and is definitely worth it. Along with that first look ...

I decided not to put this in the eats section because I don't necessarily want to recommend fast food while you are visiting Hawaii. However, there are always those times when you need a quick bite to eat or a fast drink. My advice...do not eat in the fast food places in Waikiki unless you are absol...

Honolulu, it truly is a paradise for the first 48 hours! You don't need to rent a car and in fact I would recommend against it unless you're the type that feels lost without your own set of wheels. There is good public transportation and you can get from the airport to most hotels either using a hot...

The waters surrounding the islands are usually pretty safe to swim in and do the various water activities. Shark sitings are very rare and they should not be worried about. However, about once a month the waters are crowded with unwanted visitors. The Box Jellyfish us a nasty little critter that has...

The big island has some great attractions, including volcano national park. Camping is a good experience there. The park has some great hiking trails, and you can get close and personal with the lava and ocean breaking on the cliffs. You should also check out Wiapea Valley, on Hawaii's north coast, ...

I think most of us here go to places to enjoy the local culture. Sometimes finding the "local" culture is easier said than done. The Honolulu Advertiser is the local daily paper here in Honolulu and they take pride in advertising a local venue calender. This calender can be found on their website un...

I was a military brat and traveled all over the US, Canada and in high school I lived in Japan(so I know...

If you are heading to Diamond Head, make sure you take the bus. You can hop on at any bus stop (there are a bunch in Waikiki). Number 22, 23 will take you there.
The park closes at 600pm (which is just before sunset, unfortunately). The guide says it takes 45 min. to climb, but you can easily ...

I’m probably a poor candidate to counsel about clubs in Hawaii (never been to a one on the islands...or anywhere in the last 20 years, lol), but I think I can help narrow your search…then you’ll just have to discover the clubs! Your options are probably limited to three ...

Waikiki is amazing, with the history and all the shopping! You definitely have to go there. BUT! If you wanna go to the beach, especially during summer months, hit the other side of the island. Those beaches are amazing and MUCH less crowded!
