Hands downt some of the best sushi I've ever had! The fatty tuna nagiri, and spicy tuna crispy rice are must orders!!!
Doraku Sushi Waikiki
Amazing slow roasted Kalua Pig, served in burittos, plates, and other options. Locations in Waikiki, North Shore, and Kailua. I always get the basic pork plate (simple but AMAZING) and my husband gets the Haleiwa bomber
Kono's Northshore - Haleiwa
Super yummy bowls, the best option if you're looking for the large Acai bowls!

Yummy ramen inside the Japanese food hall, the fried chicken is a MUST
Baikohken | Asian Food Hall in Waikiki
Not a place, but if your're in Lanikai or Kailua, there are vendors that walk around and sell homemade butter mochi. It's amazing and the perfect little afternoon sweet treat at the beach. I never say no!

Iconic lunch/dinner spot along the beach. Only three options: beef, chicken, or both!

Gorgeous Historical Hotel. If you have the chance to stay in the historical side with a garden view, take it! So quiet and peaceful, you would never know you're in the city! Also an American Express partner. The beach chair rentals are also so afford...

Much calmer and relaxing than the city. Gorgeous beaches and sightseeing. I always prefer to be in this area, the drive from Waikiki is about 45 min, without traffic.
North Shore Oahu

Of course you have seen the iconic photos!! This is a free botanical garden, you can drive through or make stops along the way, there is parking throughout and a park at the end.
Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden
The absolute best snorkeling spot I have ever been to. Free, but parking is limited so you have to get there early! There is an area open to the ocean, but the cover area on the left always has amazing snorkeling, and is safer if you're not a great swimmer or want to be able to stand...
Sharks Cove Self-Guided Snorkel
Super cool sandbar off the east side of the island
Kaneohe Sandbar
One of the most STUNNING beaches I have ever been to. Crystal clear water and soft white sand. There is a parking lot, and some street parking, but you have to get there pretty early to find parking
