One of the best hotdogs I’ve ever had—definitely a must-try with the pineapple mustard.

Cheap and delicious—when you think of Hawaiian food, you’ve got to think of spam musubi and onigiri, and this place offers that and more. Not only is it affordable, but it’s dangerously addictive. I could easily eat 2 or 3 of these and be full, and if you know me, you know I can eat A LOT! At just $2 each, it’s a no-brainer. One word of advice: this place fills up fast in the morning, so I recommend ordering online to save yourself the hassle.

This is a spot that Micah and I always make sure to stop by on every Hawaiian trip. No trip to Hawaii is complete without tasting this golden nectar—pineapple cane juice. It's refreshingly cold, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. Under the hot sun, it’s the kind of drink that can cure a heatstroke.

The Koko Head hike consists of climbing 1,048 steps to the top of the Koko Head Crater. While this hike will test your endurance, you will be rewarding with some of the best views of the island. You can see Aina Haina, Sandys Beach, and a large portion of the south shore. This is one of the best spots on the Island for both sunrise and sunset! Also Johnn almost died here. lolololol

No entrance fee, no parking fee, no reservations needed.

The trail to the summit of Lē‘ahi was built in 1908 as part of O‘ahu’s coastal defense system. The 0.8 mile hike from trailhead to the summit is steep and strenuous, gaining 560 feet as it ascends from the crater floor. The walk is a glimpse into the geological and military history of Diamond Head.

Parking is from 6am-6pm. There is a parking fee of $10 and an entry fee of $5. Reservations may be made up to 30 days in advance. Because the park gets busy at certain times during the day and may sell out, please book your reservations as soon as possible to avoid missing out.

The trail to Waimea Falls is about 3/4 of a mile and takes approximately 30 minutes. It is paved the entire way, with gentle hills. There are several gravel paths off the main corridor, for more adventurous walkers to explore all our botanical garden collections.

Swimming at Waimea falls is dependent on daily waterfall conditions. Lifeguards make the swim call for the day at 9am.

There will be an admission fee of $25.

One of the best ways to cool off in the heat is a nice refreshing serving of Dole whip. Highly Recommend!!

If you love history, it's a must see.

If you want to learn more about Hawaiian culture and experience Lūʻau - a traditional hawaiian entertainment.

One of the most beautiful beaches on the island the only caveat is you will have to park about 5 to 10 mins away as parking there has been prohibited. Also quick fact this is the best mans favorite beach.

This is personally my favorite beach in the world so far. The way the sun meets the horizon, causing the water to glisten with the most beautiful reflections, is absolutely mesmerizing. The warm, soft sand and the calming breeze only add to the magic. You’re sure to fall in love with this place. Caution: Waves can get high during high tide—think 2 or 3 Johnn’s height!

We had the most tender and juiciest steak here—it was so good, I still dream about it to this day.

Famous Shaved Ice — a must-try!

One of the famous garlic butter shrimp!

If you have never experienced this delightful soft and fluffy pastry with a burst of flavorful flavors of your choice then you haven't lived life yet. High Recommended!

This was my first Garlic Shrimp experience and it holds a special place for me. This is on par if not even better than Giovanni's. (Could be my Bias Nostalgic me talking).
