Beaches
Kailua Beach
One of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii
#1 most beautiful beach in the US. Beware, parking is a bear and traffic can hold you back for more than 30 minutes. Best to visit early in the morning (think sunrise) or late in the day (sunset). Don't try to go on a weekend.

Here's a short list of things to do on Oahu.
Feel free to ask us. We'll be happy to give you tourist advice!
Luau - Paradise Cove, Germaines best but Hale Koa (for military members) is cheapest; also a lot of traffic getting to Paradise Cove or Germaines on weekday. Chief's Luau is also good but can get a little risqué. Definitely for more mature audiences.
Halona Blowhole along Kalanaanaole Highway
Kaena point up past the North Shore
Diamond head
Hanauma bay - check days open and entry requirements.
Kayak rental
Chinamans hat
Mokapuu Lighthouse hike (easy, paved)
Waimea beach
Kualoa ranch ATV tour
