Great BBQ chicken and beef but it is the sides (vegetables, potatoes, kimchi, etc.) that make this place really worth a visit. Some couples may be able to share one.

Food was fantastic. I guess that is why there is a line outside all the time. Small groups will have an easier time here since the seating is cafeteria style. Line moves fairly quickly and it was absolutely worth the wait, assuming you like noodles.

A secret spot for fresh coconut juice and all kinds of tropical fruits! My favorite. It's a fruit stand run by a local auntie farmer. You always pass by it when you enter North shore (on your left side). Only open before 4 pm.

There is nothing better than local, hole-in-the-wall places like this. Of course, they are famous for their pies, and they are amazing. My favorite is the blueberry cream pie - it's to die for! But the dinner food is awesome too. The loco moco was the best I've ever had and so so good. It's a must-try place for amazing desserts and authentic plate lunches.

It's about the energy, the dancing, and the food! You do get to really see the colorful and amazing variations of the Polynesians. Definitely get the tour with the dinner, it is about $110, and there are more expensive packages. $150 for transportation is definitely suggested, as you will save money and will make sure you won't get lost on your way.

Parking Route: From our building, Kuhio Village Tower, on the Kuhio Ave, turn left on the Liliuokalani Ave and check on the two sides. If not, follow it to the end of the street and turn left on the Ala Wai Blvd, more parkings available there. Ala Wai Blvd & Liliuokalani Ave should be the best places to find street parkings! Note that you might have to pay to the meter before 6PM or 8PM. Pay attention to the road sign there.

Very clean and safe place. If drop off hours are between 6 and 7 am, you can pick your washed, dried, and expertly folded laundry the same day by 7 pm. That service was $25. If you choose to stay and wash your own, it is about $3 for a top load washer and $2.5 for 30 minutes of dry time. Great lounge with a TV and tables. They close at 8 pm.

Beautiful views, and fun along the way! You got to ride ATV's to the top of the mountain and enjoyed the 3 hour tour down the mountain with 3 fun and entertaining guides. There's tastings and some trick lines, which was fun and a nice addition! Guides take pictures along the way but they're pretty pricey (2-3 for $30 or all for $45). Several people in the group brought phones and didn't have to much trouble holding on to them. Best tour price in town!

One of the top 5 locations for snorkeling in a reef with so many different fish species. Good place for kids to learn from a shore- bring your own food, snorkeling gear, towels , no smoking or drinking alcohol down at the beach. Snorkeling gear rental is $20. Haunauma bay needs to go in really early.... I'd say 7am or they can close it without notice. They usually close around 10 am if there are too many people and you'll have to wait for some hours for it to reopen. Not easy to see much if it's after noon. Morning is the best. You can also checkout Makapu‘u Point Lighthouse Trail next. Paved road, easy hike and maybe you see those Humpback whales splashing in the water if you're lucky

This is a great spot for people that are learning how to snorkel. the water tends to be very shallow though during the low tide which usually happens in the morning. If you show up during the low tide it's almost impossible to swim. You want to check at the tide times before you leave to try to figure out when the best time would be to show up to snorkel. Be careful, it's rocky!

It is a beautiful walk through tropical gardens and Hawaiian artifacts. Be prepared with bathing suits, as you will have the change to swim at the waterfall.
