Waikiki: Downtown Waikiki - personally...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Downtown Waikiki - personally I didn't think it was very special. You have Chinatown and Aloha Tower here - the tower has been closed since Sept 11 so I couldn't go up the top while I was there. Chinatown is just Chinatown :) Can be missed in my opinion!

  • Tip Rating:
  • Halona Blowhole (but probably because of bad timing). I didn't see any blowhole..... lots of people were swimming in the bay below though (where 'From here to eternity' was filmed I was told).

    Sea Life Park: Sealife Park was a nice place...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Sealife Park was a nice place to visit for free (luckily) ... but if i had to consider the entry fee I wouldn't think it was worth it. It is pretty small and you wouldn't be able to spend a whole day there unless you wanted to pay the big bucks for the extra activities (swimming with dolphins, etc). Kids would probably like the place though - plus you can go to Makapu'u Beach afterwards (across the road).

  • Tip Rating:
  • Nuuanu Pali lookout - yes it's free, but I didn't think it was very spectacular. Stop if you're passing by, but don't go out of your way. The diamond head view is a lot better.

    Tourist Trap: Waimea Falls! Definitely...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Waimea Falls! Definitely overpriced and overtouristy. A place you shouldn't mind missing, especially if you've already seen Manoa Falls near Waikiki (or better yet, go to NZ and see REAL waterfalls :)
