First time going to Hawaii. Family of 5 going to Honolulu.
What are must sees? Where to eat?
Thank you!

Diamond head & Manoa Falls are great hikes if you’re into that.

We went to Mei Sum in China Town...best Dim Sum. Side Street Inn is also a great place to eat.
Diamond Head, aquarium was nice. Hanauma Bay is great for snorkeling but it’s not open on Tuesday. Can get there by bus or book the trolley bus.

Trolley won’t stop at Hanauma Bay. Taxis or city bus will take you or rent a car

Thank you!!!

Rent a car and do a drive around the island. So beautiful! Eat at the rainbow drive in

Def rent a car and do the pass. I liked it so much I did it twice in the same day. And there's an awesome spot to snorkel south of turtle bay - totally free and had a lot more species of fish compared to hannama bay.

Patsy do you bring your own snorkel equipment or rent there?

Get up early in the mornig and go to the huge tree by the McDonald's in waikiki. There's a thousands birds in there greetings the day and he sound is thunderous. Doesn't last long cause as soon as the suns up and people are around, it goes silent.

Delicious freshly made udon.
There's usually a lineup but worth the wait

Dukes is the best.

Keith I second this! It’s water front, best food and drink at reasonable prices!

Mackenzie Taylor mai tais is pretty bad ass right next to Dukes

As mentioned above, check out dukes and if you can budget it, Ruth Chris’s steak house. It’s expensive but literally the best steak you will taste!
Hamuana bay is super fun and defiantly worth seeing. Check out iolana palace, it’s amazing. Also really enjoyed para sailing!

Mackenzie Taylor ruth chris is outstanding.

Teds bakery

Titas grill

Polynesian Cultural Center is a must see. I think you could get a discount when you purchase your tickets ahead of time online..i’d suggest getting the package with luau dinner & evening show.

just got back-seriously expensive

Maui is worse

It doesn't have to be... We stay on the North Shore and spend less as a couple than we did at a mid-range all inclusive in Mexico.

Check out The Alley at Aiea Bowling Alley, they got the best oxtail soup and their cakes are so good as well. Such a busy place, sometimes we order togo if there is a long line up to sit down.

Hanuama Bay!!

Oh and Arizona Memorial

Sharks Cove for unparalleled snorkelling (way better than Hanauma Bay, imho). It can be dangerous - you have to go when the surf is low - but it's easy to read the surf charts and time your visit around them. Turtle Bay also has nice snorkelling and it's a little more protected from the surf than Sharks Cove. Kailua beach for swimming or standup paddle boarding.
