I won (high bid) a free trip to Hawaii. Will be there for 10 days will be in Maui and Oahu. What should I see?
I want to see both tourist stuff and local stuff. My 17 year old son and 15 year old daughter will be with me. Staying at Turtle Bay on Ohau for 6 days ... I'd love some suggestions....
Nice resort to stay at! If you haven't been to hawaii b/4 then you are going to be staying at the nicest hotel on the North Shore. The north shore is very laid back and offers beauty and a little bit of seclussion. If you have two teenagers you will prob want to make sure you rent a car and travel over to the Honolulu/Waikiki side of the island to see some of the touristy stuff on that side of the island. On the north shore you can travel out towards Kaena Point and see if they are filming LOST out that way which is very very cool. They may not be filming in that location but the locals will be able to tell you whats up and where they are b/c I think they are filming around now for next season. Just up the beach from you will be some of the most famous beaches for surfing in the world. Def check out Pipeline/Sunset and Waimaia and see the surfing. Also near Waimaia there is a botanical garden that you have to pay a fee for but it is very worth it if you want to see the true beauty on the natural side. Amazing plants follow this river up to a beautiful waterfall which was also used in the show LOST. Can you tell I am a huge LOST fan...lol. I recommend traveling into Honolulu along the east side of the island to see the magnificent mountains as they climb out of the water and on your return trip head up the middle of the island to see the pineapple fields, which could become extinct in the near future b/c of taxes and expenses. There aren't many things up on the N Shore, but they do have the coolest McDonalds I have ever seen in Laie. Also in Laie is the Polonysian Cultural Center. I highly recommend this on your first trip b/c it really digs into hawaiian/polynisian culture. One night you will have to go for a luau over at the Paradise Cove luau...great food and the hula is amazing. The rest of my post will be stuff I have put together for other people who have asked and I often re-post it to help others. It may be a little choppy but you will find some interesting info in it. I really hope this helps you out. I stayed at the T.B.H a few years ago on one of my many stays and loved it and I know you will too! Here is my other post;
Hi, Oahu is a fantastic place to go on vaction and this post that I previously put together will def help you out too! This post ranges from Hiking,Hotels,Waterfalls all the way to clubs and were to get discount coupons. I hope this helps you out! Have a great trip!
You have a good number of answers to look at but I thought I would add this since there was a few things that were different.
I love hiking Hawaii and this site is by far the most detailed. Manoa falls is one of my favorite falls to hike to and although not recommended the hike up past the first falls to the second, third and beyond are amazing. Many people go around the fence and up the banyan roots to the second falls and swim up above. I'm guilty of that too, but it is absolutely amazing and you can dive off the rocks into the water. This link http://www.hawaiitrails.org/ will take you to a site that explains any trail on all the islands and is an absolute MUST see if you’re going to do any hiking on the island. The rest of this post is stuff I put together for someone else and has other helpful or useful info for travelers to Hawaii. Def go and check that site out...you won't be disappointed. Hope this helps you out.
I am a nature nut and Hawaii is a great place to enjoy our beautiful planet! I put this together earlier but wanted to share it with you because there are some things here that will help you out! Hawaii is definitely worth it! I just can't get enough of that place! I have been 6 times and I have found enough on Oahu to do that I haven't even ventured out to the other islands yet! Here are some things in Waikiki and around the island to do; Dukes is def cool and right on the beach, and if you want to dance you can head over to Scruples. If you like to drink then do it in your room cause it is way way to expensive at the clubs. I suggest going to one of the 50+ ABC stores and grabbing your alcohol there for much cheaper! There is a ton of eating places down on the strip but the real Hawaii is out of town. Take the bus or drive up to manoa valley and experience the rainforest and a natural waterfall! Take a trip to the north shore and go to Waimaia Valley and see some of the most spectacular fauna anywhere! If you adventurous hike along the ridges and see paradise from 4000 feet! I did that and loved every second of it..Ok well it was more like 8 hours of it but anyway..lol. This link will take you to a site with very detailed info on hiking trails http://www.hawaiitrails.org/ Diving and snorkeling are pretty awesome too! Hanuama bay is touristy and with good reason. You are guaranteed to see tons of fish and have a nice afternoon at a beautiful beach! Diving can be done just off shore and runs around 100 bucks for 2 tanks and you don't need to be experienced. Not far out of town you can jet ski or parasail. Wouldn't really bother with the jet skiing because they have too many rules in Hawaii but the parasailing is something you should at least try once. After that it gets kind of boring. In town the international market place is def cool and worth strolling through...a tip..go to all the kiosks and then go back and don't be afraid to barter..that's how it works there! On the weekend a really cool thing to do it go to aloha stadium for a huge flea market!!! I mean huge the tents go all around the stadium and everything you find for souvenirs in Waikiki you will find there for way I mean way cheaper!! Oh one last thing, you have to go to a Luau and the Paradise Cove Luau is the best. oh crap...just thought of something else that will help you out. Go to www.Entertaiment.com and buy the book for Hawaii and it will give you so many discount coupons it will pay for it self right away. I did and it worked great. I just found another site that has coupons that you can print off the web so check this one out too http://www.ecouponshawaii.com/....... Don't forget that part..really do it and you won't be sorry. Many 2-1 coupons on dinners in the Entertainment Book. Waikiki is is really expensive so anytime you can save money it’s a good thing. I have been to Hawaii 6 times now and would love to live there. I hope you make it because you won't forget it! Aloha!
