What to do for 5 days in Honolulu?

Hawaii is definately 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 with the youngsters you can head over to scruples. There are 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 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. 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 jetski or parasail. Wouldn't really bother with the jetskiing cause they have too many rules in hawaii but the parasailing is something you should atleast 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 affraid 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 suviners 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 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. Don't forget that part..really do it you won't be sorry. Many 2-1 coupons on dinners in waikiki which is really expensive.I have been to hawaii 6 times now and would love to live there. I hope you make it cause you won't forget it! Aloha!

Restaurants: There are tons of restaurants in Waikiki. If you are young and like to drink then drink b/4 you go out! The Pacific Beach Hotel has drink specials all week long and there a good deal. There are Mai Tai specials all over but DIXIES has the screamin Mai TAi which comes in a 32 oz glass and is about 6 bucks!!! Good Eats there too! For cheaper eats go outside of town over towards the Kaneohe side. If you do want to eat in Waikiki then i would highly recommend that you go to www.entertainment.com and buy the book for hawaii. This coupon book will save you a ton on the island! Seriously everytime i go i get the book and use all the 2-1 deals in it! Check ebay for it too sometimes you can get it dirt cheap!

Hotels; Best hotel for the money is the Ocean Resort Hotel on the east end of the strip. Very close to the beach, decent rooms, service is good and you will pay under a 100 a night for most rooms and the parking is much cheaper than the other hotels!

Have a great trip your gonna love it!

House to the State Capitol, Honolulu could be the vivid epicentre of Hawaii and a town worth visit, as if you will see with hotelbye . In Honolulu you will find every thing from ancient landmarks and treasured monuments to world-class shopping and a flourishing arts and culture scene. House to many Oahu's population, the sprawling town of Honolulu develops through the entire south-eastern shores of Oahu, from Pearl Harbor to Makapuu Point, encompassing world famous Waikiki. Pearl Harbor is among Honolulu's biggest tourist attractions. Though it is home to the Navy's Pacific Fleet, guests can take a visit to begin to see the USS Arizona Memorial, and the USS Missouri.

Pearl Harbor is a must, but be warned it is swarming with Japanese tourists. A little tough when you see them pointing and smiling, you wonder what they are thinking and saying...you hope it is not related to the attack on Dec.7th, but your imagination and pride can get to you.

Diamond head is great to, you can climb to the top of the ridge and get great view of Waikiki and the city.

Boogie boarding in Waiamaya (sp?) bay is great, they also have some beautifal water falls there.

Also get tickets to go snorkling at Hanama Bay...Awesome sea life and coral reefs........but most of all enjoy the culture, the Hawai'ian people are great!

"you're able to do the finished island in 3 hours in case you do no longer provide up..." HahahahahahahahahahHAHA! mind-blowing. Why could somebody even waste his money coming here if all he desires to do is blow around the island like a typhoon? ok, to respond to your question, i could say that Pearl Harbor/united statesArizona is "unmissable." Oahu is eye-catching and there is plenty to make certain, yet I tremendously recommend relaxing and only taking interior the coastline, solar, and plumeria-scented air. you are able to stroll notably plenty everywhere in Waikiki so which you will no longer even could desire to hire a vehicle till you identify to do a excursion of the island. My feeling is: with in undemanding terms 5 days, do no longer difficulty. take in some solar, take a catamaran journey (they pull suitable up onto Waikiki coastline), consume some community grinds, and only relish.

go to the polynesian cultural center, go see the blow holes, go inside the crater of diamond head, go to pearl harbour and see the uss arizona,go to the speedway at noght for the drag races, go to wakki and try surfing, go to a luau and eat poi,take a ride across the island on the poly nueani thruway. go to dukes international club and see along to don ho's tiny bubbles

Go to Molokai.
