8 Day Oahu Tour

Hotel - Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

Rental Car - This website gave me the cheapest price. It was recommended by a local blogger.

Day 1

Arrive in Honolulu and take rental car to hotel. It was a 10 hour flight and we landed like 3pm. We relaxed for the evening.

Ate at the hotel restaurant during sunset.

Day 2

Easy day since we were still jetlagged from flight.

• Activities
  • Hanauma Bay State Park
    • Arrive as early as you can because parking lot fills up early
