ditto on nixing the Poly centre luau, its overpriced and not really good, seriously. show is ok
im going back in april w00t! 3 time for me.
go jetskiiing but only go for 30 minutes. i was gonna do 1 hr but after 15 minutes i was a wreck, didnt think it would take so much outta me. same with surfing lessons @ Waikiki.
Hanuma bay is awesome but always chilly. go early and beat the crowd. no sunscreen in water allowed so bring a t shirt.
goto the Alamoana mall its pretty good. i didnt goto diamond head.
Try going on a Shark tour. (go into ocean inside a cages and watch sharks eat.) its $100/person but worth it IMO. i will never do that again...sooo scary.
eat at cheescake factory but make reservations.
im older so i dont club, but rather prefer to lounge around drinking @ Duke's (on the strip)
for perverts like me hang out on the edge of the water in Waikiki as bikini tops often are removed by the waves.
( . Y/_\)
^ nipple alert
goto the north shore and check out the beaches there get smoked by a monster wave, then go home crying.
we stayed at the Royal Pacific Monach hotel 2 blks from Waikiki beach, rooftop pool FTMFW. 33 foors up. awsome view, great friendly staff.
Pearl harbour. so-so unless you are big on history. lotsa crying people.
flea market at stadium. don't bother its all crap you can get at the international marketplace. btw did i mention we watched a girlfight there? 2 big wahini duking it out in bikini's lol, over a man no less.
DO NOT EAT AT THE MARKET PLACE! ITS POO!
beware of what you eat in hawaii, something there gave me travellers diarrea, mening the whole 10 days i was there = the runs every day despite me not feeling bad at all. weird.
eat at Mi- BBQ its cheap and good portions its a Korean/hawaian mix of takeout.
if you look really hard you may be able to find an ABC convenience store
if you go in the water at all, buy some cheap aqua socks. well worth the $ to keep from slicing your feet open on coral.
renting a car for more than a day is a waste. cabs are cheaper esp with friends. the bus is not bad either.
i went horseback riding on the north shore beaches too.its nice if you like horse that RUN.
DO NOT DRINK ON THE STREET, its not Vegas and they WILL ticket you.
90% of my time was spent in the water. or on the beaches. if u r like me goto walmart and buy some cheap snorkle gear. good for the beach and Hamana Bay. better than renting the stuff.
oh yeah buy a waterproof camera the you can RELOAD with film.
bring ziplock bags for your ID and $. keeps it all nice and dry even when swimming.
go for the Catamaran boat ride on Waikiki its pretty fun.
Bring a GPS system. the road names are hard enought to read let alone pronounce. try that while driving and reading a map. fuggedaboutit.
eat at Chili's its so much bettter in Hawaii
LOL our GF's had bikini's on and they wouldn't seat us.
We flew over to Maui to check out the Volcano crater....definately not worth it lol. but we were ar like 10,000 ft above sealevel. man the air is thin there, and COLD!
we then drove into town. not much todo in Maui IMO.
EDIT: more to be posted later.
