Shopping
1. Ala Moana
* Expensive but lots of shops! IF you go on the weekend there may be a hula show at center stage * 2. Aloha Swap Meet (Aloha Stadium) * This is where you buy ALL your souvenirs .. Open Sat, Sun & Wed from 8-3 there is a parking fee so bring cash*
Must Do’s
– Matsumoto’s Shaved Ice (Haleiwa) – Dole Plantation – Arizona Memorial (Arrive EARLY tickets sell out) – Pali Lookout (off the Like Like Highway) – Bishop Museum – Valley of the Temples (Free) – Iolani Palace
Now everyone wants to go to a Luau and there are TONs on the island and some are better than others! My recommendation is… Aulani- A Disney Resort & Spa It is a little expensive but totally worth it!! I took my mom when I was home a few years ago and she loved it.
Snorkeling
– Hanauma Bay – $7.50 pp fee Go early for parking… The preserve is open 6 am till 7 pm and closed on Tuesdays – Sharks Cove parking is limited I hope some of this information helps you on your trip to the island There is a lot more!!
