Honolulu Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

A few years ago travel album 🏖 I love Hawaii and the ocean too much.

Waikiki Beach The beach scenery is very beautiful, the sea water is very blue, and the sand is very fine. People come and go leisurely, truly worthy of being a holiday resort. You can buy some snacks and drinks nearby and watch the sunset. Hawaii's most famous are Diamond Head and Rainbow. You can really see the sun slowly setting. Beach can rent a small bed to enjoy. Or rent a surfboard and play in the water. You can also go whale watching at sea 🐳. Many leisurely and fun activities. 🎈Highlights: ✅Enjoy sunbathing and watch the sunset. ✅Perfect summer vacation destination, with grass skirt dance performances at night. ✅You can take a submarine to a depth of 36 meters to admire the coral reefs. 📍Honolulu. Hawai. USA ⏱Open 24 hours.

Early Morning walks on Waikiki Beach

#gooutside As the sun comes up over Waikiki beach it is truly a wonderful time to take in the sights. The beach can be very crowded through the day so early morning is a great time to take in the peace and serenity of the waves and the new day. We were out and about by 6am and the sun was already shining. The heat and humidity weren’t too bad yet. It is truly an invigorating start to any morning breathing in the fresh air and seeing the sun as it continues to rise. Although the sunrise itself is blocked by the high rises watching the dawning light reflect off the ocean as it comes up is breathtaking. IMO definitely a reason to #gooutside

Waikiki trolley tour

our first full day on this Hawaiian holiday and we decided to do the Waikiki Trolley Tour. There are 3 lines to choose from so we did the Blue line (costal sightseeing) and the Red line (cultural downtown) It was a great way to take in as much of the area as we could in a small amount of time. All the trolley routes are hop on / hop off but we were enjoying the narration so much we decided to stay on the whole route so as not to loose our guide (shout out to DJ Ray Ray - the best guide in Hawaii). The tour was very informative and the guides we’ve their own local knowledge in along with the historical and cultural facts making it that much more personal and enjoyable. #gooutside

Waikiki’s Walls

Waikiki beach “Walls” area are a big concrete pool that reduces the crashing waves over the beach, good place to stay if you are scare of the sea or bring little kids with you. It’s a safe zone. A small gap in the walls allows the sea flow. This wall viewpoint allows you to enter the sea and enjoy a gorgeous full view of the beach. Very popular location for local kids, to jump into the sea from the high wall, or take gorgeous pictures. #staycation #beachlife #summervacation #historicallandmarks #culture #hawai #hawaii #beach #waikiki #criskotsu #oahu #honolulu #waikikibeach #summertrip #summerdays

The correct way to open Hawaii!

Hawaii is a very suitable place for tourism, with different charms in each season. This time I brushed the Big Island and brushed Oahu for the second time. Although I was still not satisfied, I had a lot of fun! The following is my specific itinerary for your reference. This is a leisurely trip, mainly arranged activities such as taking the OW diving certificate and shopping. See the last two pictures for specific itinerary details. OW Diving Certificate: I had a failed diving experience before, so I carefully chose a diving company this time. Under the patient guidance of the Japanese coach, I successfully got the OW certificate. Although I am still a bit afraid of water, I have begun to slowly enjoy the fun of diving. Second Brush Gulani Ranch: I strongly recommend everyone to choose Zipline! If you choose Zipline, you can not choose UTV. Because the routes and attractions of the two projects are similar, but UTV will cover the whole body with dust. If you want to choose, you can put it at the end. The last UTV time is 3:15 in the afternoon, you need to check in in advance, everyone should arrange the time reasonably. Dinosaur Bay ticket grabbing: Friends who want to go to Dinosaur Bay remember to grab tickets at 7 o'clock in Hawaii time in advance, and set up autofill, because it is really difficult to grab tickets by manually entering information. Island tour: In one day, we circled the island along the coastline and checked in many beautiful jelly beaches! Shopping: Luxury goods have stores on the main street and Ana Moana, it is recommended to go early and communicate with sa, so that you can know in advance whether the style you want will be in stock, which is convenient for the first time to grab. The above is my trip to Hawaii, I hope it will be helpful to everyone!

Hawaii is more than a romantic location. if you are seeking adventure then Hawaii is truly a place for you! The scenery in Hawaii is something out of a movie! It's lush, green and beautiful! One of the most popular hikes is called Stairway to Heaven. You can hike to the top using the back route. The only issue is that it takes about 4-6 hours to do it but it is perfectly legal. Trying to hike mountain using the stairs is actually illegal and there is police in the area looking out for tourists trying to do this hike. You could be fined up to $1000 as well. So be careful and have fun! #oahu #hawaii #stairwaytoheaven #hawaiiHikes

This is a view of what I like to call "natures versaclimber" -- it's challenging but a great workout and the view is incredible! Check out Koko Crater hike on Oahu! (aka Kokohead) #train #hawaii #hike #beautiful

Diamond head, Hawaii hike

Did the Diamond Head in Hawaii hike. Started early and took about 2 hours and total distance about 2.5km. Most of the path is paved and you just have to follow the signs and there are also benches along the way for resting. You can get a stunning shoreline view and get to know a rich history of it. This crater was created about 300k years ago by a single eruption. Here is also US’s first military reservation and the site has tunnels, batteries, anti-aircraft weapons and National Guard emergency operations centre, some of these installations remain till today. The hike a good form of exercise and worth the effort if you visit Hawaii.

Diamond Head Crater park

Perfect one-day trip in Honolulu! The Diamond Head Crater, or Lē’ahi, is a volcanic cone located few minutes from Waikiki beach in Oahu. This crater is part of a system of cones and vents, known as Honolulu volcanic series, much younger that the Ko’olau range. This crater was the first military reservation in Hawaii, named Fort Ruger. Since 1986, has been a highly visited natural landmark. You need to book in advance to enter the park area, and only access is through the tunnel. Within the park, it’s a very short hike (~20 minutes), but the view totally worth it. Don’t forget a cap and sunblock, you get easily sunburn here. #solotravel #gooutside #staycation #beachlife #hawaii #nationalpark #hawai #oahu #hikingtrails #hiking #outdoors #hikes #passionpassport

Pineapple 🍍 Cafe

On your way to Le’ahi park you can enjoy the Aloha Pineapple Cafe. This cute coffee shop is located in Monsarrat Avenue, same street to Diamond Head Crater Park. Iced coffee during a hot afternoon was a delight. Ambience is nice, service also good. One of the few places that offers free wifi in Honolulu. During my trip to Hawaii, my favorite was the coconut ice coffee. They have a matcha option that is promising too. ☕️ Closed by 3pm 📍 3212 Monsarrat Ave. Honolulu, HI 96815 #staycation #themepark #beachlife #coffeeshop #cafe #criskotsu #hawaii #hawaiitourism #honolulu #oahu #coffee #hiking #icecoffee

Honolulu Hawaii can be very expensive but totally worth it to visit! It's a tropical paradise and can be a great place to live. You get to see diverse of people and diverse food scene that celebrates its melting pot of cultures, and the locals’ welcoming Aloha spirit will make you never want to leave. #hawaii #merrychristmas #merrychristmas

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, Hawaii visit

If you are planning to visit Hawaii, check out Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve. Formed within a volcanic cone, it offers a pristine marine ecosystem and was declared a protected marine life conservation area in 1967. Part of conservation plan, it requires first timers to watch a short video before entering the park so they can learn about marine life. It is best for snorkeling and you will get to see hundred of tropical fish and marine life. The entrance fee per adult about 12 year old is USD25.

Hanauma Bay is a nice place to go diving, but now it enjoys a greater reputation as a nature reserve. It welcomes many guests from all over the world all the year round. It is also the first choice to go to Waikiki for the shortest distance. This bay is not very large, but enough to go diving. I strongly recommend diving because you can find coral reef nearby.

I was skeptical about making a stop here because it sounded like a highly busy tourist attraction however I am SO HAPPY we did. Once we settled into a spot on the beach I didn't want to leave. It was peaceful, beautiful, and the weather was perfect. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
