Oahu Travel Guide

Diving with sharks, visiting famous historical landmarks, and trying every shaved ice you can find... sounds like the quintessential trip to the islands of Hawaii, and we will show you just how to do it in only 4 days! 
This itinerary covers the island of Oahu, HI and is perfect for anyone who is looking for more of adventurous trip than a relaxing vacation (though we definitely did lounge on the beach some.... because how can you not!) 
This was one of my first big trips with my boyfriend, and we did not have a ton of extra funds to spare at the time. We wanted to do something epic together for our one year anniversary, so we booked a Hawaiian escape for 4 short but very sweet days! We were even face to face with a tiger shark named Roxie (sans cage) at 7 AM on the day of our one year anniversary, so I would say we accomplished our goal of an epic first trip, and  I am so excited to share exactly what we did in our few days there. 

Save yourself the time of researching it all and planning everything alone! This guide is perfect for on-the-go couples, friends, or groups looking to really experience all that this little island has to offer beyond just the beaches and city.

How To Choose Which Hawaiian Island To Visit

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

This hotel looks adorable and like it's in a great location. Though most hotels will cost a pretty penny in this area, this one seems to be more reasonably priced than many others! 

If you want glitz and glam, you’ll love this hotel’s old Hollywood vibes. There’s a spa, on-site dining, event spaces, and an oceanfront pool that you’ll never want to leave.

Another great historical hotel right in the center of Waikiki Beach. Direct access to the beach.

The oldest hotel in Waikiki! Direct access to Waikiki beach and Waikiki strip! 

The oldest hotel in Oahu! Can’t beat the location right on Waikiki beach
