Oahu, Hawaii Travel Tips: Where to Stay, What to Do, What to Eat
I visited Hawaii years ago ON A BUDGET so this list is a lot of “what to do” and not so much “where to eat” since I was mostly eating free hostel pancakes and pasta I packed in my suitcase. But GOSH it was a good time!
Activities
What to do in Oahu
Can't not stop by the ICONIC beach… beautiful views, warm water, nice waves
Even if you don't know how to surf, you gotta paddle out there to enjoy the waves. Just make sure to stay out of the way!
You don't have to stay at this hotel to access the lagoon. Picturesque spot with nice walking/longboarding paths
Nice spot to walk/run a little away from the touristy crowds of the beach
Take the bus over from Waikiki for a few bucks, spend the afternoon at this stunning beach

Places to Stay
Where to Stay in Oahu
Camping at this BEAUTIFUL beach was a treat for the views, but there are a lot of people who live here full time and are not super friendly to visitors so as a solo female I would avoid it
A good hostel. Private and shared rooms, short walk to the beach, cute shared spaces, yummy pancake breakfasts.
