Adventures
If you're a boat girly you are going to want to take the sunset sail offered by this company! They played music and allowed us to swim in the ocean, such a wonderful adventure
Moana Sailing Company
Hands down my favorite beach of the whole trip. The water is unimaginably clear!
Lanikai Beach
Some of the most iconic views of the Oahu mountain range. All I can say is this is absolutely breathtaking and you HAVE to go.
Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden
Another good beach gem, more for just seeing turtles, pretty rocky and not good for swimming.
Laniakea Beach (Turtle Beach)
One of my favorite excursions was the ATV tour here. We got to drive through the mountains and see where they filmed Jurassic Park!
Kualoa Ranch
Such a beautiful beach for snorkeling!! The water is so clear and calm.
Waimea Bay Beach Park
This hike was so fun. You do have to pay for admission, but it was so worth it. You are quite literally in the jungle and at the end their is a beautiful waterfall that you can swim in!
Waimea Falls (Paved trail hike)
Wanted to explore a mall, however I will say this is an upscale mall and there aren't that many local shops. More high end designer stores.
Ala Moana Center
Good eats
One of the most popular acai bowl places, definitely lives up to the hype!
The Sunrise Shack - Sharks Cove
We celebrated my friend’s birthday here and it was the perfect spot! The atmosphere is so fun, the food was amazing, and their famous cream pie was absolutely delicious. A must-try when in Oahu!
Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman
Absolutely loved these burgers. It is in the middle of a food truck lot in front of shark cove. Highly recommend stopping here!
Seven Brothers Burgers - Sharks Cove
Such a delicious breakfast spot and was reasonably priced!
Kono's Northshore - Haleiwa
Such a yummy place to eat, they had a variety of food options on the menu and was a fun atmosphere!
Lulu's Waikiki
Stunning rooftop restaurant with delicious food, definitely more upscale!
HIDEOUT
Hotel
Stunning views, lazy river, character meet-and-greets, and the best pools and beaches ever.
