Maui
Island of Hawai'i
O'ahu
Fun mix between food, activities, waikiki, and north shore fun
Definitely add this to your itinerary when visiting O'ahu. If you want to visit the USS Arizona (which I recommend) make sure you book in advance! The ticket is very cheap, but the spots are limited.
Pearl Harbor National Memorial (U.S. ...
This spot has several great tours to chose from. We did the movie site tour and got to see where some of our favorite movies were filmed. Highly recommend the move site tour.
Kualoa Ranch
Tiktok influenced me to visit here, but it was easily one of my top favorite things we did on the island.
Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden
Such a fun vibe here, the smoothies and the acai bowls were incredible.
The Sunrise Shack - Kailua
We did not to the climb up all the stair lol, but definitely worth checking out the visitor center and some side of the road pull offs along the way.
Diamond Head State Monument
Kauai
Kauai is known mostly for it's scenery, here's some great spots we visited
Gosh nothing beats the Napali Coast. If a boat tour isn't on your schedule for Kauai, definitely book it!
Capt Andy's Kauai Boat Tours
I had to stop in and visit the town that inspired Lilo&Stitch. It was small but nice, definitely get some souvenirs at the shops in town.
Lilo&Stich Mural-Hanapepe
The best banana pudding, I wish I would have had more time on the island to go back here more often.
The Jammin' Banana Bakery & Cafe 🍌
I would go back just for their loaded fries!! This spot was close by our hotel and very yummy and a chill place to go for dinner.
Chicken in a Barrel BBQ at Coconut Marketplace
Maui
Some local favorites mixed with some tourist spots for the best of both worlds
This national park had incredible views. Even if you don't like hiking I still recommend driving through some of the park.
Haleakalā National Park
This is definitely an activity to carve out a whole day for. The drive is a bit winding, but completely worth it. Stop at all the shops and banana bread spots along the way. Enjoy the beautiful waterfalls and gorgeous scenery.
Road to Hana
Such a fun stop for some ice cream along the road to hana.
Coconut Glen's
Great place to go when you're with people because there is something everyone can enjoy. I love how many different options they had here.
Kihei Food Oasis
This is genuinely the best place to get a cinnamon roll on Maui.
Papi's Ohana
Island of Hawai'i
