Makapuʻu Lookout

I lived on Oahu, Hawaii for years, and I know that it is so much more than Waikiki in Honolulu! Spend 5 days on the island and explore the varied landscapes, eats, and activities.

I stayed 3 months in Oahu, I absolutely love the place. You will find some secret spots on my list. I will tell you my spot where I always found 🐢 with no people around. Don’t just stay in Waikiki beach, there are so many other places to see.

7 to 10 day guide to Oahu, Hawaii created by a "local" who lived on island. This itinerary is perfect for first timers, those who wish to avoid most of the "tourist traps", and families with young or teenage children! The guide specializes in outdoor adventure such as hiking, snorkeling, and botanical gardens. I have also included a few lesser known hidden gems in the itinerary! The days are planned purposefully to maximize activities while including relaxed downtime. In addition, I have mapped for you the best restaurants around the island, a taste of historical and cultural attractions, and extra activities (some free!) to squeeze in, if time allows. You won't miss a thing during your Oahu vacation!
