Snorkel, surf, sunbathe and swim at Hanauma Bay. Continue the adventure with a hike to see some terrific views from several vantage points.

Eat And Shop

Honolulu's city and island locale offers a dish for every palate, truly. Try the local favorites, malasadas (tasty Portuguese confection), plate lunches, shave ice and spicy garlic shrimp from the shrimp trucks. Also find time for cuisines less available at home, including Polynesian and fusion, plus a variety of others that are prepared with an island spin. Plan on going to the farmers' market for fresh fruit, vegetables and seafood for a night at your vacation rental or picnic at the beach. Tapas, sushi and upscale dining with far-reaching views of the beach or cityscapes make Honolulu dining a worthwhile experience.
