Aloha Guys!
Really, ridiculously hard to pick just 10!
But, if I had to add a few, on Oahu for sure; get a surreal History lesson by walking on the USS Arizona Memorial and the USS Missouri Battleship, as well as visit (in this guys humble opinion) the most beautiful resting place for known/unknown soldiers who died to protect our liberties, at Punchbowl Crater National Cemetery of the Pacific (bonus: there is an absolute Spectacular view of the Honolulu skyline and Diamond Head, Hawaii’s most Iconic extinct crater, just outside the entrance to Punchbowl).
For one of the best cultural experience, on Oahu, visit the Polynesian Cultural Center. It can be a full day experience culminating with a Polynesian dinner show/Luau. Definitely a unique experience learning about the different Polynesian cultures in the Pacific Rim.
There are so, so many…Every Island has its share! Great Post!
Take Care Guys!
I’ve been visiting Hawaii for more than 25 years; I never tire of it, and experience something new every time I visit.
Last August, my then-14 year old daughter and I visited Kona – her first visit there, and my first in many years. Every day was memorable, from dinner with spinner dolphins to swimming with turtles; a moving experience at Hulihe’e Palace, to a funny and educational tour at Big Island Bees.
Work had been extremely stressful for the entire year before our trip. On our day of waterfall “hunting”, we stopped at Umauma Falls, where, for a nominal fee, we were literally the only two in the Botanical Garden. Such a sense of peace came over me, while we wandered among the beauty, that I wept.
There is no place on Earth like Hawaii. Like the commenter above says, knowing this place will change your life – no exaggeration.
Thank you, Rob and Jeff, for doing what you do.
Hi John.
Thank you too!!
Aloha.
Don’t miss the musicians and dancers. Many of the resorts and shopping centers have free performances.
Aloha!
I stumbled across your site a few years ago while visiting Hawaii with my family. We have been visiting the islands (specifically Oahu, Maui & Kauai) every few years since I was 16 years old. Earlier this year, my husband and I took our first solo trip for our 5 year anniversary & my 30th birthday and stayed on the leeward side of Oahu. It was beautiful, as always, and so peaceful. Hawaii has changed my life and when anyone even mentions it I get giddy with excitement that they are going.
I just wanted to say mahalo for keeping up this site and posting everything you do.I love to learn more about how to respect the land & locals, as well as read about other things to do on the islands that I hadn’t thought of – or just to see the other readers comments. ALSO your posts about how to get cheaper flights (I booked separately rather than round trip – way better deal from MO, USA) & cheaper car rentals really helped me out last year when I was booking our trip for this year – much appreciated!
Anyway, this is just an appreciation post for you all at Beat of Hawaii – I am subscribed and read your emails every day and get so excited every time I get one in my inbox. Can’t wait to go back!
Mahalo,
Jess, from MO
Hi Jessica.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. You just made both of our days!
Aloha. Rob/Jeff
I wouldn’t recommend going all the way around Maui. We were told that on the south side there are 17 miles of just gravel road. It takes a long time to get to Hana and O’heao Gulch–hours and then if you take what used to be the kapu road back to the south of Haleakala, it is more hours since the road isn’t good. You wouldn’t want to be on that road if it’s dark!
Experience true Aloha. You won’t know how real the aloha spirit is until you witnessed the dignity and respect the locals share with one another. It’s very humbling.
P.S. don’t forget about the apple bananas.
I am a resident of Kona and I think you left off the most magical piece of Hawaii – Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island, the active one!!!! And Waipio Valley would be on my list, as well. Thank you for a great website!
Hi William.
Couldn’t agree more. Mahalo.
Aloha.
