Suebee Posted August 11, 2004 #2 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I wasnt asked, but let me ask you so Emi and Spleen can answer more effectively: What are your interests? WWII? Water Activities? Natural Sites and Hikes? Museums? Cultural Sites? Spas or Beaches? Sea Life? Volcano? If you want a mix, you can get everything on each of the islands. Oahu is RICH in cultural sites, history (WWII) and museums. All islands will have plenty of natural sites, hikes, and adventures and water activities. For Oahu, I wouldnt leave without doing Pearl Harbor at the very least. It brings into perspective what happened on that day. You can add the USS Missouri, Bowfin, Utah, Punchbowl and other Military sites if you are interested. Everyone is going to have opinions on what is a MUST SEE and DO. I think to make it a Hawaiian experience, you should do Pearl Harbor, the volcano, a water sport or activity, a luau, a show, and a boat/catamaran etc to experience some sea life. I would also make sure to try as many different local foods as possible too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coiran Posted August 12, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Sorry I missed you Suebee, not intentional, - Interests - all of the above - perhaps you could join my wife and I for a drink when we get to Oahu, our first stop?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spleen93 Posted August 12, 2004 #4 Share Posted August 12, 2004 There IS a lot to do on all the islands - it does make it hard without knowing more about your likes. The main things on Oahu are Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, North Shore, and Waikiki. Supplementary things are Iolani Palace, Bishop Museum, Sea Life Park, Waikiki Aquarium, Polynesian Cultural Center, and Hanauma Bay. It's probably not possible to see everything in 5 days - you'll have to pick what's most interesting to you. And that's just one island. :) Spleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
