I am headed to Hawaii in July for my honeymoon. I know that there is a wide demorgraphic of people that read this, some people even live in Hawaii. I want pointers for things to do, avoid, etc,etc. Any island to make a "must see" or any island to not bother with. Thanks in advance.

 

i think 99% of the members on here won't have any advice for you lol

 

hehe yay! Come visit me..hahaha jk...have a great honeymoon. I'd say that if you are looking for any night life at ALL check out Oahu (the island I am on and the basically the main island). Most of the "outer islands" are just for relaxing. If you are into nice resorts Lanai is the place to be. If you are staying on Oahu though, I'd recommend the Halekulani, its beautiful. I stay there sometimes when I need to get away from my life. The royal suite is really nice

If you are looking to do the basic tourist stuff, you can ride a Nautilus sub, go on a dinner cruise, swim at Hanama Bay, etc. Hawaii is basically only good for relaxing and doing outdoor crap like playing golf or hiking.

If you need any specific recommendations, have questions, or need opinions PM me or something. I've been here for almost 20 years and have done just about everything there is to do in HI. Have fun!~

 

I know, I know. But it doesn't hurt to ask.

 

Thanks! I am a pretty outdoorsy guy so hiking, snorkeling, and kayaking are definitely on our "to do" list.

 

just dont go kayaking in the ala wai
