Things to Do

Welcome to Oahu! Majority of our guests are from out of town and here for the wedding festivities, we hope you make the most of your stay by immersing yourself in the beauty and culture of this tropical paradise. Whether it's your first time or you're a seasoned visitor, our recommendations are fun to experience again and again.

Lanikai Pillbox Trail

265 Kaelepulu Dr, Kailua, HI 96734, USA

We prefer to hike this trail during sunrise as parking can be a bit challenging in the residential area and it gets hot later in the day. It's fun, easy, and has amazing views of the east side!

Dole Plantation

(808) 621-8408

A key place to learn about Oahu's agricultural heritage is the Dole Plantation. Take the Pineapple Express Train Tour through the fields, or get lost in the Pineapple Garden Maze – a Guinness World Record holder. Enjoy the fresh dole whip and take some pineapple-flavored treats and souvenirs back home with you!


Lanikai Beach

Guam has good beaches, but this has them beat. The waters are cool, it's not rocky, and the sand is so fine! This is one of our favorite beaches to go to and bring the dogs to play. Parking can be a challenge so going during weekdays would be best to really enjoy it without the crowds.

Mountain Magic Shave Ice

94-817 Lumiaina St, Waipahu, HI 96797, USA
(808) 681-9582

The best shave ice on Oahu (we will die on this hill).

Located in Waikele near the Waikele Shopping Outlets, this is our favorite shave ice spot on the island. Affordable and delicious. Make sure to bring cash as they don't accept card payments. Lines tend to get long but they move quickly. Definitely a must!

Ala Moana Center

(808) 955-9517

Eat and shop till you drop. This is a big mall and can easily take up an entire day of your time.

Makapu‘u Point Lighthouse Trail

(808) 587-0300

A paved road hike that we typically like to do during sunrise as it gets hot later in the day. Easy, breezy, and beautiful views.

Haleiwa, North Shore

Taking a trip to the North Shore is always fun, there are plenty beaches and local food spots. Go during the weekday since it gets pretty crazy on the weekends. We recommend dedicating an entire day to enjoy all the North Shore has to offer.
