There are some articles about Hawaii in Hawaiian Expedition. Check it out and go where you prefer.

just stay where you are. we don’t need anymore parasites on this island. thank you very much , please have a nice day, aloha

Maui no ka oi (Maui is the best). And, the best part of Maui is Lahaina, on the northwest side of the island. The main airport is in Kahuliu (airport code OGG), and it’s about an hour drive to Lahaina. There’s also a smaller airport on the northwest side of the island in Kapalua. But, it only allows small puddle-jumpers to land there and it’s usually a couple hundred dollars more than a flight into Kahului. Plus, you have to get a connection in either Honolulu or Kahului and there’s only one or two flights a day.

The best snorkeling is probably Black Rock, just off the coast from the Sheraton Hotel in Kaanapali, about 5 miles north of Lahaina Town (the whole area up there is considered Lahaina, but the actual downtown part of Lahaina is called Lahaina Town). You can pretty much go snorkeling anywhere, because there’s a protective reef off of most beaches up there.

Look into renting a timeshare. These are usually fully equipped condos and it’s a lot better than just a hotel room. I own a week in Kahana (about 10 miles north of Lahaina Town) that’s a 1600 square foot, 2BR/2BA oceanfront condo. It’s got everything, including in-unit laundry. There’s a Safeway grocery store on the north end of Lahaina Town, right on the Honoapiilani Highway (the main highway on the northwest side of Maui). So, we always get our provisions at the Safeway on our way up to the condo when we get there. And, that ends up being a lot cheaper than going out to eat every day. There’s also a Costco by the airport on the main road out. But, there’s never any parking.

The cheapest place to stay is around Kahului airport. But, you would need a car to go anywhere. And, there’s no beaches close by. Paia, the closest beach to Kahului, is about 10 miles southeast of the airport. But, there’s no snorkeling anywhere. It’s mainly a surfing and windsurfing beach.

Kihei and Wailea to the southwest aren’t bad. They’re not as rustic as Lahaina (it was the original whaling port in Maui). So, there’s lots of more modern strip malls and stuff. There’s a few good snorkeling beaches around there (just look for the outcroppings of black volcanic rocks - they usually provide shelter that attracts the fish). You can also check in any snorkel or dive shop to ask about the best spots.

Unless you like the idea of being in Los Angeles or Hong Kong on a tropical island, avoid Honolulu. It’s just a concrete jungle with hundreds of high-rise apartments and hotels, and the worst traffic I have ever seen (and I grew up in LA).

Honolulu is the best place to stay. To save money on activities, I highly recommend the Go Oahu Card:
Another recommendations if you go to Waikiki, don’t rent a car. You can easily get around with shuttles and buses. They charged me $18 a night for parking at Wyland Waikiki. Apparently most hotels charge that much in Waikiki.

ever been to myrtle beach sc?

Key West, Florida!!! If you decide the east coast, west coast i would pick Long Beach!!! Best Wishes!!!

HAWEII

Try Sanibel Island. It is a beautiful little island in the Florida Keys. It is within good distance of Fort Myers and you can go to amusement parks down there too!

Most importantly, it is a small island that is not that crowded and is absolutely gorgeous! You may have to stay on a neighboring key and visit, though. Still good!

Key West is pretty cool, although there aren’t a lot of beaches there or theme parks. There are lots of outdoor activities, museum, pubs, etc. though. If you go, be sure to take a sunset sail on one of the tall masted ships and be sure to take a day to go out to Dry Tortugas National Park. That was my favorite part of the 10th anniversary trip we took there last February. I’ve heard Key Largo is really cool if you’re into scuba diving. Have not been there myself though. - - - Overall though, I would think the Florida Keys would be a great option.

Well you are smart for not renting a car, parking is IMPOSSIBLE in waikiki. there is a wonderfull bus system on Oahu so you can catch the bus to go just about anywhere. And since you are going to be riding it so much it might come out cheaper to purchase a bus pass you can ask your bus driver about that (plus it makes a great suvenir to take home with you). However you might want to check out a tour bus they are great for touring the Island with out having to woory about what bus to take next and all that. I have one tip for you on your vacation dont try to do everything plan time to just spend the afternoon in leisure and swim at your hotel pool and hang out at the beach trust me if you dont spend some time doing that it will not feel much like a vacation you will be exhausted when you get back home. I know you wont need all that time at the flea market its not that big you can go there from mabey 8-11 and then head back to your hotel to have lunch by the pool and relax. Then you can go to the downtown shops at 4 you have to go to the international market place in Waikiki it is really cool and the mall downtown is really good too. Also if you like to party you have to check out DAVE and BUSTER’s that place is great its three storys high, they have an arcade and a bar and lots of bands play at their roof top bar. it is located at the Ward center there is a spahgetti place under it and it is right beside a movie theater. also check out Hilo Haties the store of Hawaii you will find lots of neat stuff there, that is downtown. Also when you go snorkleing you should try snorkle bob’s snorkle rental it is located in Waikiki it is the only place where the mask does not leak and the fins do not hurt your feet if you want to have fun while you are snorkeling you should definatly rent from there. I hope you have the most relxing and memerable vacation of your life (SOORY ITS SO LONG)

Looking at your itinerary, you’ll be fine catching TheBus and walking. Lots of traffic on O’ahu, so public transportation and walking is better; plus you’ll get a chance to observe loads more! For routes and other information, simply go to TheBus website: Hope this helps. Have fun!

snorkeling check out hanauma bay, its in hawai’i kai i dont know the bus you need to take all i know is its bus 12 or 24 i forget to waimanalo and then 56 or 57 depends on which one is doing the runs to kailua. but thats irrelavent.

anyways bob didnt know tourist go to dole plantation, bob thought they closed down already, maybe not. what would you do at a pineapple plantation anyways. probobly just those dole assholes brain washing tourist and turning them against the hawaiians. eh bobs not hawaiian what does bob care.

Check out the cruise boat website for things to do while on the cruise there will be ton of things to do. You can check out the below website for things to do on shore and Good Luck!!

Take a cruise to the caribbean. The two of you could go for 3 or 4 days for about $800 and would have a wonderful time I am sure. You would not have to worry about where to go to find great food, activities or the beach.

Sri Lanka.
City ARUGAM BAY a world famous place for surfing & city TANGALLE for snorkeling.
for more details please contact me.

I would go to a cave. They are cool and the temperature is around 52F all year round. If you go to a big cave you git to ride on a car and if you go to a small cave you walk. I been to a small cave in Northwest Oklahoma it was fun.

A lot of what was said is absolutely correct…
1. The time for Pearl is way too long even if there are lines. It is say 45 minutes from downtown…hope you have shortish lines..
2. You can not get from Pearl To Dole in an hour…But do the maze thing at the James Drummund Dole Plantation everyone seems to like it. It’s supposedly the largest in the world or something..
3. The submarine thing is absolutely real and reaches a depth of 117 feet..It is (or at least was) the largest non-military submarine in the world…plus you get great pictures of the entire coast line on your way out and in to the shore..
4. switch the snorkeling and diamond head around…I don’t think you are giving yourself quite enough time for that..I think the tour thing goes out beyond diamond head also, so you need to add more time there…
5. I , personally, would ditch the flea market and go to the North Shore that day…
I think you will have a blast on this trip…
Oh on the buses, don’t worry about that until you get there…then just ask the people at the front desk…they do this all day long for thousands of people a week..

SIARGAO, Philippines

Go to the website of the cruise line you are using, and they will have itinerary choices. You may get some ideas from that. I just got back from a Hawaii cruise. You will love it! there is so much to see and do I could never list them all. the people are wonderful, and Hawaii is beautiful! We did take a couple of tour busses. The drivers are loaded with info, and usually very funny. I hope you have a wonderful time!
