Watching the sunset from my room at Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in Honolulu

1) Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa in Honolulu:


Choosing the right accommodation is crucial for a memorable experience in Honolulu. Opting for the Ocean Front Junior Suite, Corner room, Balcony at Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa provided unparalleled tranquility. Witnessing both sunrise and sunset from the balcony, accompanied by morning tea, was an experience of profound serenity.











2) Rent a Jeep:


Exploring the island by air, land, and water, the Jeep rental emerged as a favorite. Cruising with the top off, feeling the sun on your face, and the wind in your hair epitomizes the freedom of exploring at your own pace. It adds an extra layer of enjoyment to your island experience.

3) Helicopter Tour:


Escape the crowds and infuse a sense of adventure into your vacation with a helicopter tour. Opt for the exhilarating experience of flying with the doors off, offering breathtaking views of Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline from above.






4) Parasailing:


Discover the island by boat and elevate your vacation with a parasailing adventure. Hovering over the crystal-clear ocean, with panoramic views of Diamond Head and the Waikiki skyline, creates a once-in-a-lifetime experience.




5) Local Food: EAT LOCAL!


Indulge in the flavors of the island by exploring local eateries. Not only is local cuisine delicious, but it's also budget-friendly. With an average cost of $15 per meal, savoring local delights became a highlight. Must-try spots include Café Kaila, Ono Steaks and Shrimp Shack, Fumi’s Kahuku Shrimp Truck, and Sweet E’s Café.
