Oahu travel tips! Welcome to my Oahu travel blog!

ALOHA!

Some of the most popular day trips on Oahu are to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, hiking up Diamond Head, and some time for reflection at the Pearl Harbor memorial. These are some of the must-do things you should book in advance.

There are also lots more things to do on Oahu that will give you very-Hawaii vibes!

There’s lots of hiking on Oahu that you can do for amazing views, including the Manoa Falls Trail, the Lanikai pillbox hike, and the Makapuu Point Lighthouse Trail.

For mountain views, there’s Kualoa Ranch, Hoomaluhia Botanical Garden, and Byodo-in Temple.

For the most amazing beach views, you need to know about Lanikai Beach, Kailua Beach, and Waimanalo Beach.

You can also make an easy day trip to downtown Honolulu to see the iconic landmark of Hawaii Five-0, along with the Iolani Palace.

And then you can make it a circle island tour to the North Shore with a stop at Dole Plantation along the way!

Oahu is the best Hawaiian island for Hawaii without a car.

You can get to all of these places by bus, although some places will take a bit more time so you might want to rent a car for the day with a shaka guide read to go on your phone, or do a tour to experience them!

 

 

For an easy-going time on Oahu, Waikiki can be perfect.

Go for an easy walk to see baynan trees and surfer statues, as well as to look for turtles.

Walk down the surfboard alley to get views from the Sheraton boardwalk.

Or do some easy swimming and snorkeling to look for colorful fishies!

In the evening, experience Hawaiian culture through a hula show or Hawaiian luau. If it’s Friday, get to a spot where you can see the Friday night fireworks!
