Hey guys. Going to Honolulu with my girlfriend in early September. Neither of us have been there before. Staying at Waikiki Beach, but we'll have a car. What are some fun things you like to do there?

Don't do this, it's just a swap meet of cheap crap you probably won't ever use/wear and don't need.

Unless you like stuff like that.

Along with the food recs, get the Hula pie at Dukes for dessert.

Snorkeling at Hanauma bay. But get there when if first opens; otherwise those

Shihan

7/18/18 8:49pm

I would just say skip Hanauma and go to three tables/shark cove

Also eat at Dukes

Zaphod

First time I would make sure you hit all the touristy stuff that you can only do

Rock jumping at Waimea

Zaphod

7/18/18 8:54pm

So much fun.

BengalCougar

7/18/18 8:56pm

But only in the summer. Winter can get hairy. Also the cliff divers up Waimea

Zaphod

7/18/18 8:58pm

Better yet ride a one wheeler off the cliff! Instead of jumping. AMIRIGHT? 😉

CarolinaCoug

Here is where you need to go as first timers.... Pearl Harbor, PCC, Waimea bay

kotacoug

7/18/18 8:54pm

Is PCC really with it? Cheapest I could find was 120 a head

Hanauma Bay, Surfing, snorkeling and Pearl Harbor.

Already some good suggestions, I will add Waimea Bay and Waimea falls to the list. Go to the Moana Surfrider...

BengalCougar

7/18/18 8:56pm

Add parasailing to the list, it's a lot of fun.

BengalCougar

7/18/18 8:58pm

If you do Pearl Harbor, spend a little extra and go to the Battleship Missouri.

Fatalplacebo

7/18/18 9:04pm

I was there the day the brought in the Missouri. 1998-ish
