I wanted to swing by anyway but since I got a free swim with the dolphins, this was a must. It's a much smaller park but it's really nice. The animals are all a bit closer and more interactive than other similar but larger parks. The staff are really nice and informative as well. I got to swim with one of the dolphins from 50 First Dates.
Take a shuttle over instead of a cab and you'll save quite a bit of money! Get there early and make sure you're not in a hurry, there's a lot to see.
Try not to cram this in with the USS Arizona, you may feel too rushed. To get here you have to catch a shuttle from the visitor's center. I think you have to do these on separate days with the Go Oahu pass.
We didn't originally intend to stop here but we had extra time at Pearl Harbor. I'm really glad we stopped! It's a smaller museum but there's a lot of great planes and a lot of history to see. It's also included with the pass!
A quicker and easier to visit attraction at the Pearl Harbor visitor's center. It's a lot less crowded but still pretty interesting! Included with the pass so why not stop by?
This hike was included with the pass! Be careful if it's been raining, the rocks get really slippery and there are no rails. When I went, someone along the trail broke their ankle and had to be airlifted out. Beautiful hike though! There's a nice snack shop at the bottom with shave ice; perfect for an after hike snack!
I still fantasize about this shave ice. We were bored and walked over 2 miles to get here and it was worth the walk.
My favorite place to stay. Super convenient and easy to get around, close to everything. Fireworks on Fridays, penguins, lots of food options. So much to do in one spot.
Another great hike included in the card! Quite busy but definitely doable; took about 30 minutes each way with stops for photos. Gorgeous views at the top!
Great spot right by the beach. Wonderful views of the surfers and sailboats on the horizon. Amazing place to watch the sunset. Good food too!
Great place by the beach, really great food and good service. Nice menu, really awesome desserts.
Great little coffee shop with a really nice menu. The macadamia nut pie is delicious!!!
Really good shrimp tempura udon bowls, a bit pricey since it's inside the resort but it's good stuff.
I don't come here to shop, I come here for the food court. If you're not sure what you're in the mood for, come here. They've got everything!
Great fast food stop! If you go to the one inside Sears, there's a place next door with some good malasadas!
Caught the Makani Catamaran from this harbor (included in the pass). Great ride, got to see lots of fish and turtles with a beautiful view of the city.
Super cool place; several tours included with the pass. Book transportation with the ranch, don't take a cab. Some amazing movie sites, really great gardens, a lot of cool things to see here.
When we asked the hotel staff if they could get us a cab to come here, they got really excited because it's that awesome. We loaded up on haupia malasadas and cocoa puffs for the hotel room. It's a bit out of the way of the tourist areas but worth it.
Very touristy and considerably cheesy but a fun experience to do at least once. Clearly this company has been around a really long time since my grandparents have a photo they took at this luau about 20 years ago.
Cool place to see at least once; lots of culture and a cool evening show.
