Yep. One of my favorite beaches. Kirk Hammet has a house right on the beach. His wife is from Waimanalo.

Oahu is the only airplane vacation I have ever been on, luckily I was forced to go there for a wedding cause it's Amazing. The only thing I can think of that hasn't been said is buy snorkeling gear when you get there. We went snorkeling all over the island, just off the beach. We even saw cool fish right off Waikiki beach with all the tourists around

OK... assuming you are flying from the east coast and getting there late afternoon.

Hit Soon's Kalbi (898 Ala Lilikoi St, Honolulu, HI 96818) for some take out (great food) then I like to head over to the Mormon Church parking lot (99-641 Pohue St, Aiea, HI 96701) and eat dinner and watch the sunset.

Low stress, NO tourists, no hassles sitting in a church parking lot and good views.

I will let everyone else hand you tourist ideas.

Kaʻena Point State Park​

is another decent spot... but you gotta hike it... Last time I was there it was better from the north shore than the west side.

It’s a shame those cock suckers gated that place off. We spent lots of nights fishing out there.

We drove out as far as we could on each side of the point. We hiked a little but not far, too hot. Saw space force. Haha.

My buddy Gary is a Commander in the space force.

That is awesome. What a great spot to have to go to work at every day.

This was my view at work for 7 years.

Waikiki Beach is definitely worth it, but if you want a quieter beach experience, try Lanikai Beach on the windward side. For snorkeling, Hanauma Bay is a must-do, but get there early since it gets packed. I’d also recommend taking a drive up to the North Shore—it’s a different vibe with less crowds. As for the Pearl Harbor stuff, it’s super moving, but if you’re short on time, maybe skip the full tour and just visit the memorial. Enjoy your trip and feel free to visit site for more tips! Oh, and when booking flights, if you're flying business class to Asia or nearby, definitely check out deals that can give you more comfort for the long haul.

Tell them you’re a gender confused republican and your pronouns Are howli and brah after greeting simone then tell them you’re looking for cheap real estate in Maui.

If you act like a dumb white guy, you're a haole. If you treat people with respect you're accepted.

Last time I went to Maui, we stayed at a BnB in Upcountry, owned by a old couple from CA that had been in Hawaii for over 40 years. Neighbor shot a wild pig and came by to invite us to his Luau. Everyone was super cool with us, we played catch with a couple of the kids, helped with the food prep and cleanup, you know normal civilized people stuff.
