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!!
