Hawaiian vacation advice

Oh yeah, and the pineapple ice cream at the Dole Pineapple Joint is AWESOME!!!

X's a 1,00,00,00,00. I would dang near swim to Hawaii just to get another pineapple whip.

While on Ohau...

Pearl Harbor is an absolute must. I suggest to get there early and beat the crowds. The line gets long quick.

Leonard's Bakery in Waikiki. They serve malasadas, which are a little slice of heaven. http://www.leonardshawaii.com/malasadas.html

The flea market at Aloha Stadium is a great place to get souvenirs a little cheaper than around Waikiki. It is only open a few days each week.

Dukes restaurant which is on the beach side of the Outrigger Hotel is a great place to have an evening drink and/or meal. Usually they have some live music.

Keoni by Keo's has a great $3.95 pancake/bacon/egg breakfast plate. It is at the corner of Kuhio and Kuialani Ave.'s. Just a block or so off the beach front.

The Polynesian Cultural Center has a good luau, but an amazing evening show. Well worth going to see.

Maui is my favorite island with the Haleakala National Park, the Road to Hana, and Lahaina.

I played golf at Kaplua it is a breathtaking course.

You have to go to some local diner and get a plate lunch. It is a Hawaiian staple. Two scoops of white rice, macaroni salad, and an entree like chicken katsu.

If you have been there what advice could you offer?

I would like to visit Pearl Harbor and maybe go diving.

Don't wear a thong.

If you are planning. Plan on going to the other islands as well as Ohau. Kauai is my favorite. What you want to avoid is touristy times. Summers are crowded as well as spring break. I love the ultra-glide trips out of Kauai. Also if you do anything click on this link.
http://www.warrenandannabelles.com/ make sure Warren is in town and not on vacation. He is a riot.

It is a dinner and show you will never forget...my wife and I still talk about how great it was...amazing place. Also if you like to fish charter a fishing trip out of Maui. and take the submarine trip...very cool.

I've been twice once to Kauai and once to Maui. I would highly recommend all the memorials you're planning on seeing but afterwards I would HIGHLY Recommend staying on Kauai , small island but the prettiest by far, if you're planning on just snorkeling just rent the equipment and go your self we found many good places and even saw some huge turtles, don't be afraid to stop a food places on the side of the road they have good food. We dida helicopter ride, ziplining, snorkeling , hiking, and definitely do a luau!

Go surfing!

When I went to Kauai I had no interest in surfing but had it pretty well forced on me. It was fun and looking back it's neat to say "I went surfing in Hawaii."

Kauloa Ranch is a great place to spend a day, they have tours of the movie sets, (lot of movies are made there),horse back riding,ATV to ride. Eat at Haleiwa Joes, Snorkle Bobs is a place to go for a snorkel tours. Take the Duck Mobile tour, it's a water craft that drives on the road then right into the water. The Bowfin at Pearl Harbor (new visitors center opened couple months ago)
Haunama Bay for a beautiful swim day. The Magic show in Waikiki, Dinner at Dukes.
Take a day just to drive around the island (bout 5-6 hours) visit the road side stands for local treats.
Dole Pineapple plantation and their Ice cream it's wonderful.
Paradiswe cove has a good show and dinner, go early and do some of the hawaiian activities (skip the climbing the coconut tree.....trust me on that one!)

Go on a helicopter ride at Kauai . It was amazing. They take you down the waterfalls like on Jurassic Park.
