Top 5 things to do

Waikiki Beach in Honolulu
01

Waikiki Beach

Swim, walk the shoreline, and stay for sunset at Waikiki Beach. The beachfront is easy to fit around the rest of Honolulu and gives you a low-effort place to return to more than once.

Diamond Head in Honolulu
02

Diamond Head

Hike the Diamond Head crater trail for broad views over Honolulu and the coast. The climb gives you a useful sense of the city's setting between the ocean and volcanic landscape.

Iolani Palace in Honolulu
03

Iolani Palace

Tour Iolani Palace to learn about the Hawaiian monarchy inside the restored royal residence. It adds important historical context to a Honolulu trip that can otherwise lean heavily toward beaches and outdoor time.

Pearl Harbor historic sites in Honolulu
04

Pearl Harbor historic sites

Set aside time for the Pearl Harbor historic sites and related museums rather than treating the area as a quick stop. The memorial complex gives you a concentrated look at a major chapter of Pacific history.

North Shore day trip in Honolulu
05

North Shore day trip

Take a North Shore day trip for surf beaches, food trucks, and smaller towns beyond Honolulu. It is a straightforward way to see a different side of Oahu without changing where you stay.
