2025 Honolulu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

The hotel is very luxurious and the staff are very friendly. We were here for our honeymoon, and they made everyone feel safe. There are many rooms and they are very quiet. The view from our room was amazing. The room was very clean, and surprisingly, there was a balcony facing the city and another balcony facing the ocean, but it was still very quiet. For the number of rooms, the pool seemed a bit small, but it wasn't an issue during our stay. The transportation to the beach was great and very clean. We could use the cabanas and get food from the hotel, which was fantastic. The hotel's location is excellent, close to shopping centers, restaurants, Diamond Head, and the zoo. I would definitely recommend staying here and would be happy to return.

Hiking Diamond Head with the family. We made reservations and paid the entrance fee and parking fee through the website in advance. We forgot to apply for parking, but we were able to pay on-site on the day. However, without a parking reservation in advance, you will have to park a bit further away. We hiked with our 4-year-old child, and they made it to the top! The view from the summit is breathtaking. You can see the blue sea and cityscape of Waikiki Beach at a glance. Although the stairs along the way are steep, it doesn't take more than an hour. It was manageable even with beach sandals.

##myhiddengems #localguides ##mytravelhacks Waikiki Beach is a popular destination, and these seven hacks will help you make the most of your visit: 1. **Visit Off-Peak Hours**: Arrive early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the midday crowds and secure a prime spot on the beach. 2. **Pack Light**: Bring only essentials like a towel, sunscreen, and water. This makes it easier to move around and keeps your belongings safe. 3. **Use Public Transportation**: Parking in Waikiki can be expensive. Save money by taking TheBus or using bike rentals to get around. 4. **Bring a Reusable Water Bottle**: Stay hydrated by filling up at water stations around the area, reducing waste and saving money. 5. **Try Local Food Trucks**: Skip the expensive beachfront restaurants and enjoy delicious local eats from nearby food trucks. 6. **Take Advantage of Free Activities**: Enjoy free hula shows, live music, and other cultural performances along the beach. 7. **Watch the Sunset**: End your day with a stunning sunset view, one of Waikiki’s most breathtaking experiences.

The vibrant colors of the water, ranging from turquoise to deep blue, were mesmerizing #beachlife #hawaii

Speaking of Hawaii, it's Diamond Head This time, I'll introduce some places I personally recommend for viewing diamonds ① "Kapiolani Park" This is a place that everyone already knows, right? It has a beach, a park, and Diamond Head, and it's a really powerful spot where you can see it beautifully ② "CAMBELL Ave" Campbell Avenue in Kapahulu This place is a little far from Waikiki, but you can get there quickly if you have a biki or rental car. It's a little way in from the road on the way to Leonard's ③ "Honolulu Fire Engine" The yellow fire engine, which is different from Japanese fire engines, and Diamond Head spreading out in the background are cool! Just seeing the fire engines is impressive. ④ Kuhio Beach There aren't many Japanese people here, so it's not that crowded. The view of Diamond Head between the palm trees is lovely. ⑤ Makee Road This is a street near the Honolulu Zoo. There's a Denny's nearby, so it's easy to find. The combination of the English sign and the diamonds is Hawaiian-like. ⑥ Waikiki Beach Near the Royal Hawaiian This is the view that everyone sees. Beautiful ocean and Diamond Head! This is Hawaii!! ⑦ Kahanamoku Beach This is the beach where the Hilton Village is located. The sunset is very beautiful, so I recommend it. There are also fireworks on Friday nights. That was my favorite view of Diamond Head. #overseastrip #hawaii #hawaiitrip #waikiki #honolulu #diamondhead #overseastrip #waikikibeach

Hawaii is a very suitable place for tourism, with different charms in each season. This time I brushed the Big Island and brushed Oahu for the second time. Although I was still not satisfied, I had a lot of fun! The following is my specific itinerary for your reference. This is a leisurely trip, mainly arranged activities such as taking the OW diving certificate and shopping. See the last two pictures for specific itinerary details. OW Diving Certificate: I had a failed diving experience before, so I carefully chose a diving company this time. Under the patient guidance of the Japanese coach, I successfully got the OW certificate. Although I am still a bit afraid of water, I have begun to slowly enjoy the fun of diving. Second Brush Gulani Ranch: I strongly recommend everyone to choose Zipline! If you choose Zipline, you can not choose UTV. Because the routes and attractions of the two projects are similar, but UTV will cover the whole body with dust. If you want to choose, you can put it at the end. The last UTV time is 3:15 in the afternoon, you need to check in in advance, everyone should arrange the time reasonably. Dinosaur Bay ticket grabbing: Friends who want to go to Dinosaur Bay remember to grab tickets at 7 o'clock in Hawaii time in advance, and set up autofill, because it is really difficult to grab tickets by manually entering information. Island tour: In one day, we circled the island along the coastline and checked in many beautiful jelly beaches! Shopping: Luxury goods have stores on the main street and Ana Moana, it is recommended to go early and communicate with sa, so that you can know in advance whether the style you want will be in stock, which is convenient for the first time to grab. The above is my trip to Hawaii, I hope it will be helpful to everyone!

The trail down easy enough - views, exercise and fond memories. Give it a try on your next Hawaii explore. Aloha and Pleasant Journeys!#hiking #hawaiihikes #honolulu

I finally realized my dream and traveled to Hawaii. The beautiful scenery and atmosphere here are simply amazing and left me in awe. I took a morning flight to Hawaii and it welcomed me with open arms, putting me in a great mood. The temperature in Hawaii is warm, which makes me feel like I'm saying goodbye to the cold. When I arrived at the hotel, the warm welcome I received was unbelievable. The gorgeous flower lei and wonderful music made me feel like an important VIP. During my stay, I visited every corner of the island of Hawaii. I went to the famous Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. When I stood at the top of the mountain, I was surrounded by beautiful scenery, and a peaceful feeling made me feel very comfortable. I also went to the Big Island and saw active volcanoes and colorful coral reefs, which left a deep impression on me. I also tried the local cuisine, and my favorites are Hawaiian barbecue and lobster. I learned to enjoy traditional Hawaiian beach walks, listening to the waves crashing on the shore and smelling the summer scent of the sea. It's an incredible feeling. I truly love Hawaii, where there are beautiful natural landscapes, delicious food, and friendly people. This trip was the happiest time of my life, and I look forward to coming back here one day, exploring this wonderful place like a child once again.

Did the Diamond Head in Hawaii hike. Started early and took about 2 hours and total distance about 2.5km. Most of the path is paved and you just have to follow the signs and there are also benches along the way for resting. You can get a stunning shoreline view and get to know a rich history of it. This crater was created about 300k years ago by a single eruption. Here is also US’s first military reservation and the site has tunnels, batteries, anti-aircraft weapons and National Guard emergency operations centre, some of these installations remain till today. The hike a good form of exercise and worth the effort if you visit Hawaii.
