I am a nature nut and hawaii is a great place to enjoy our beautiful planet! I put this together earlier but wanted to share it with you cause there are some things here that will help you out! Hawaii is definately worth it! I just can’t get enough of that place! I have been 6 times and I have found enough on Oahu to do that i haven’t even ventured out to the other islands yet! Here are some things in Waikiki and around the island to do;Dukes is def cool and right on the beach, and if you want to dance you can head over to scruples. If you like to drink then do it in your room cause it is way way to expensive at the clubs. Clubs are generally 21+, but you can get into some of the hotel beach bars prob.There are a ton of eating places down on the strip but the real hawaii is out of town. Take the bus or drive up to manoa and experience the rainforest and a natural waterfall! Take a trip to the north shore and go to waimaia valley and see some of the most spectacular fauna anywhere! If you adventurous hike along the ridges and see paradise from 4000 feet! I did that and loved every second of it..ok well it was more like 8 hours of it but anyway..lol. Diving and snorkeling are pretty awesome too! Hanuama bay is touristy and with good reason. You are guaranteed to see tons of fish and have a nice afternoon at a beautiful beach! Diving can be done just off shore and runs around 100 bucks for 2 tanks and you don’t need to be experienced. Not far out of town you can jetski or parasail. Wouldn’t really bother with the jetskiing cause they have too many rules in hawaii but the parasailing is something you should atleast try once. After that it gets kind of boring. In town the international market place is def cool and worth strolling through…a tip..go to all the kiosks and then go back and don’t be affraid to barter..that’s how it works there! On the weekend a really cool thing to do it go to aloha stadium for a huge flea market!!! I mean huge the tents go all around the stadium and everything you find for suviners in waikiki you will find there for way i mean way cheaper!! Oh one last thing, you have to go to a luau and the paradise cove luau is the best. oh crap…just thought of something else that will help you out. Go to Entertaiment.com and buy the book for hawaii and it will give you so many discount coupons it will pay for it self right away. I did and it worked great. Don’t forget that part..really do it you won’t be sorry. Many 2-1 coupons on dinners in waikiki which is really expensive.I have been to hawaii 6 times now and would love to live there. I hope you make it cause you won’t forget it! Aloha!

Some more stuff:

Must See Attractions

Paradise Cove Luau – Best on the Island (get entertainmetn coupon"
Polynesian Cultural Center – North Shore ( can catch show here) Make sure you get the "entertainment coupon"
Diamond Head – Cause everyone’s doing it
Waikiki- Can’t go to hawaii and miss the strip
Manoa Falls – An easy hike with views and feel of the jungle and it’s free!
Hanuama Bay – Best tourist snorkeling in the islands!
Drive the Pali Highway and go to the lookout

Makiki Heights drive – Tourists don’t find this gem and it’s amazing! MUST SEE. Check your map to get to Makiki Heights. Great views of the island

Restaurants: There are tons of restaurants in Waikiki. If you are young and like to drink then drink b/4 you go out! The Pacific Beach Hotel has drink specials all week long and there a good deal. There are Mai Tai specials all over but DIXIES has the screamin Mai TAi which comes in a 32 oz glass and is about 6 bucks!!! Good Eats there too! For cheaper eats go outside of town over towards the Kaneohe side. If you do want to eat in Waikiki then i would highly recommend that you go to www.entertainment.com and buy the book for hawaii. This coupon book will save you a ton on the island! Seriously everytime i go i get the book and use all the 2-1 deals in it! Check ebay for it too sometimes you can get it dirt cheap!

Hotels; Best hotel for the money is the Ocean Resort Hotel on the east end of the strip. Very close to the beach, decent rooms, service is good and you will pay under a 100 a night for most rooms and the parking is much cheaper than the other hotels

Ok, here we go with the differences (the gist of it):
-Oahu has both the city (Honolulu), and country. Also suburbs. It’s home to the famous North Shore, where surfing competitions and several movies (Sarah Marshall), and TV shows (Lost) were filmed. As people on the other islands say, Oahu is "made of concrete." Ala Moana Center, the worlds largest open air shopping mall, is located here, along with several other malls scattered around the island.

-Hawaii aka The Big Island is the biggest island, hence it’s nickname. The Big Island has rainforests, and the Volcanoes National Park, where you can see lava tumbling into the ocean if you go to the right spots. (Yes, there is an active volcano there). Majority of the island is made of molten lava rock, and you’ll see that people create words/names on them with white pebbles. Go to the top of Mauna Kea for a breathtaking view.

-Maui is, in my opinion, the most beautiful island. Here you’ll find the Maui Ocean Center and the beachfront tourist town of Lahaina. You can hike up Haleakala and bike down it if you wish. Whale-watching is prominent here. There’s a highway called the Hana Highway, which has a lot of twists and turns, but beautiful scenery.

-Kauai is nicknamed The Garden Isle for its beauty, but I don’t buy that. You can explore the caves. There is Waimea Canyon, which is dubbed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.

-Molokai transports you back to old Hawaii. It’s kind of like Maui and Kauai in terms of scenery.

-Lanai…well, you’ll need a four-wheeler to see most of the landmarks and sites. Not too familiar with this island as I’ve never been to it, as you can tell by my horrible description of it.

Grouping the islands together, here are their similarities:
-The Big Island, Maui, Kaui, Molokai, and Lanai are very laid back communities
-You can do water sports on all islands (obviously)
-All have good food
-You will be treated well on any island. The tourists that say that they’ve been hassled by locals is because they either went where they weren’t supposed to, or disrespected us. This doesn’t mean that you have to watch your back and be on constant high alert. Just use your common sense.

I believe this is it for my lengthly answer.

My Maui recommendations:
Spending time at the beach, snorkeling/SCUBA diving are great particularly at Molokini is great. The road to Hana is a great trip too, but leave early because it will take the entire day. You can get a guide from your hotel concierge.
One of the more unique things to do is to take a bike ride down Mt. Haleakala. Maui Mountain Riders or another similar service will pick you up at your hotel early in the morning and take you up to the summit of Mount Haleakala where you will watch the sunrise. Then, you’ll take a bike ride down the mountain and have breakfast at the end of the trip. This is a great experience, and I recommend it highly.
Old Lahaina Luau is the best in the islands.
My restaurant recommendations:
Paia Fish Market at 100 Hana Hwy in Paia is a great place to dine. It’s rustic, the prices are reasonable, and the locals eat there.
Mamas Fish House along the Hana Highway is great. It’s pricey, but they have their own fishermen that catch the fish in the morning that will be served that day.
Cheeseburger in Paradise on Front St. in Lahaina is good.
They say Maui Mixed Plate in Lahaina is excellent and with reasonable prices, but we’ve never eaten there.

Hotels or condos are fine, as long as there is no old-hotel-smell. What is pricing for a good average place (doesn’t have to be a very high-end hotel)

Thank you all. You have all been very helpful.

stay at the hyatt in lahina, maui. its very nice and you’re right next to the beach, a market area, and a ton of restaurants. if you’re looking for a good restaurant, i recommend cheeseburger in paradise. its amazing. hope you have fun in hawaii!
p.s. mark mine as a best answer–i need points!
