Heading their for vacation at the end of the month. Heading there with my wife. Was hoping for some feedback on where to go. We like it all and would like to do the tourist things.

Staying in Waikiki

From my experience; everything in Hawaii is beautiful for the most part.

My least favorite was actually Waikiki beach. It is way more touristy and crowded then most areas in Hawaii. It's pretty much like any other city with the exception of the gorgeous beach being nearby. Nonetheless, still a beautiful place, but I would recommend exploring the areas in north Oahu.

Pearl Harbor - A must do experience (Arizona Memorial, Battleship Missouri, Bowfin and the Air Museum)
Helicopter tour - I have a friend that manages a company
Atlantis submarine - People seem 50-50 on the experience
Volcano tour - No active ones on Oahu
Beaches - North Shore Beaches, Hanauma Bay and Sandy Beach
Luau - The better one would be at the Polynesian Cultural Center (On the north shore)

Unique places to eat -

1. Ono's Hawaiian Food (5 minutes out of Wakiki - in Kapahulu)
2. Giovanni's Shrimp Truck (North Shore) - http://www.giovannisshrimptruck.com/
3. Yanagi Sushi - http://www.yanagisushi-hawaii.com/
4. Honolulu Burger Company - http://www.honoluluburgerco.com/

Additional:

Punchbowl Cemetery - http://www.cem.va.gov/cems/nchp/nmcp.asp

Roundtop Drive (Tantalus) - Beautiful view of the city) - http://gohawaii.about.com/od/oahusights/ss/tantalus.htm

Diamond Head Crater - http://www.pacifichistoricparks.org/dhsm_park_info.php?gclid=COi3tr3Dq84CFUOSfgodD-IJSw

Skydiving (North Shore) - https://www.pacificskydivinghonolulu.com/

You can take a helicopter to the top of a mountain, and then ride a bicycle the entire way down. Its sweet.

Also, if you are a cannabis smoker, look for "banyon trees"


Walk by them at different times of day and when you notice the same person always seeming to be there looking friendly, that's your weed man.

You will be taxed like a mofo for being a mainlander, but dear god the cannabis is good in Hawaii.
