  • Hike to top of Diamond Head (strenuous hike, great views - bring water!)
  • Snorkeling in Hanauma Bay
  • Drive a little further along the shore to Kailua
    • Lanikia Beach
    • Kailua Beach
  • Waimanalo Beach
  • Shopping near Waikiki
    • Kalakaua Ave - lots of great shops and restaurants
    • Duke's and Hula Grill (in Outrigger Waikiki Beachfront)
    • Ala Moana Center - big open air mall, but alas - just a mall.

    • Turtle Bay / Beach
