What are MUST see's in Hawaiian Islands? |
My family and I are going to Hawaii in a month or so.. flying out and cruising the islands. I think we are going to the main island Kauai Oahu Lana'i etc. What are some must-sees and must-do's? I think on Oahu we plan to rent a car and cruise the island for a day... the bad thing about cruising is not having enough time on each island, that's why I want to hit all the must-sees. I am particularly interested in seeing the blacksand beaches... I'm an avid photographer who wants to visit the best shooting sights. I was also interested in parasailing.. my brother and his girlfriend just got back and said it was a blast. Any reccomendations? Must See's & Do's... Oahu- Polynesian Cultural Center (transport from Waikiki is availiable. I've written a review with photos, videos, advice and money saving ideas here: http://www.govisithawaii.com/2007/06/20/... - Pearl Harbor (fyi - you can't take a purse or bag of any kind into it.) Kauai - Waimea Canyon - Fern Grotto - Na Pali coast via catamaran or helicoptor or kayak Maui - Road to Hana (a very short drive off the road will lead you to the famous Waianapanapa Black-Sand Beach) - Beaches at Kapalua, esp DT Flemming Beach - Sunrise on Haleakala - Ioa Needle Lanai - Snorkel at Hulopoe Bay Marine Sanctuary I didn't see the Big Island mentioned in your list of islands that you plan to visit, but if you can, get over to see Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park for a day...there are pre-packaged day trips you can take from other islands. I think www.alohatopten.com does some. I'd recommend purchasing the "Revealed" guide books which are the best. (link to wizardpub in sources listed below) Source(s): http://www.govisithawaii.com http://www.wizardpub.com/main/home.html... http://www.nps.gov/havo/ http://www.nps.gov/usar/ Ask your travel agent to contact their representative at the Hawaiian tourist office. They will send you an amazing packet of information. Road to Hana.. Wailea Falls.. Any luau.. Pearl Harbor from the Navy base The military cemetary I can go on, but ask your travel agent like I said. I'm going to Maui for the first time, next week. I picked up 'Hawaii for Dummies", " Frommers Hawaii 2007", "Frommers Maui day by day". Getting some good tips from those. "Trip adviser" is an excellent source, you can communicate with other contributers on that site, also. Looks like Road to Hana, Haleakala's volcano, snorkle excursion to the island of Lanai, & molokai, Watching the windsurfers at Hookipia beach. I' Arizona Memorial/Pearl Harbor Tour Polynesian Cultural Center See the fireworks on Friday nights at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Eat at Cheeseburger in Paradise www.101thingstodo.com/oahu www.101thingstodo.com/Kauai " /Lana'i The "main island" is Oahu. Oahu has the state capital, Honolulu and is the most populous island in the Hawaiian archipelago. You might be thinking of Hawaii, which is also known as the Big Island. It's larger that all of the other Hawaiian islands combined but its population is relatively small. Your best bet for black sand beaches are on the Big Island. There is a great one at Punalu'u but it is quite a drive from either the Kona or Hilo port where you will be docking. You can take great pictures from the top of Diamond Head (Oahu) -- it's a fairly easy hike to the top. |
