Mokuleia side of Kaena Point, end of the road, hiking trails, scenic views, nature preserve. Dont leave valuables in car high theft area, great shoreline fishing and secluded beaches. Aloha!
The nicest resort on Oahu, with a private lagoon and six dolphins doing daily shows. This is tucked away behind Diamond Head, but it's my go to spot to relax and pretend I'm bougie. Подробнее.
My favorite neighborhood restaurant. Try Roy's Special Martini (sweet), the Canoe for Two pupu, and the Miso Butterfish. Roy perfected Pacific Rim/ Asian fuision cuisine.This is the Original Roy's
One fan of Keith Robbins' bite-size mochi (ice cream wrapped in a sweetened rice confection) is superchef Nobu Matsuhisa. Try the Green Tea Mochi!
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Here, in a land where old tiki bars go to die, you'll find the real thing. Подробнее.
The views of Waikiki beach and Diamond Head from here are the best. If you're not a SWPG, you still might be able to get in for a few quick snapshots. ;)
If you love pork and charcuterie, you need to check this place out. Everything housemade. Tapas style so you can share. Good bar. Great place.
Try the French onion soup gratinee. It looks like a bubbling cauldron, covered with Gruyere cheese--one of the best onion soups we've tasted. Featured in our annual Restaurant Guide!
Kinda "bikertype people, meet snowbirds, meet beerhounds and local characters-place" -Smoking bar with loud music,rundown interior and some "vintage" amusement machines..
If you're looking for a classy night, Lewers Lounge is the place to go. One of the few places we can walk in with a suit and evening gown and feel like you belong :) Great jazz bar.
Order the margherita pizza, as recommended by Alejandro Briceno chef/owner of V Lounge. He prefers the simpler Margherita to the crowd-favorite, Prima. Featured in our August 2011 Restaurant Guide!
If you plan to park in the KHON2 structure, make sure you're parking in spots reserved for Kissaten, not the spot reserved for Joe Moore. When I came back, my car was keyed. . . -____- hinthint*
Chocolate lovers: order the double chocolate fudge cake. It's a massive slab of chocolate and fudge. There is nothing more chocolatey. Featured in our annual Restaurant Guide!
Bacon for dessert? Why not? Try this thick-cut bacon, lightly candied, and dipped in chocolate just enough to still taste the salty, smoky pork for $3.00 each. -Sweet Treats, December 2011
Try to Loco Moco! Its two massive burger patties, fried eggs and rice covered in gravy. As seen on Travel Channel’s Man v. Food Nation.
The best brunch ever with a fantastic ocean view and stunning gardens. Also great for lunch!
Great breakfast, brunch and dinner buffets in a family atmosphere! You can even feed the Koi that is swimming around the restaurant or take a picture by the waterfall!
Come here for brunch. Anyone can offer a good brunch, but not all venues are so isolated and seperated from the hustle and bustle. The scene heee is worth the drive in Kahala. Подробнее.
A beautiful place to kick back, relax, and enjoy the scenery while listening to live music, watching former Miss Hawaiis dance hula, all while sipping on a cold cocktail. Ahhhhhhh!
A restaurant's ultimate 5-star review is the presence of off-duty chefs eating at its bar. Classic dishes are supplemented by more unconventional dishes to form a well-rounded, delectable meal.
When visiting an island in the Pacific, sushi is an easy choice, but the long list of restaurants can be daunting. Nobu, with its excellent omakase offerings, is undoubtedly the best.
Wong's culinary skills as a James Beard award winner are superb, but not to be overlooked is his pastry chef, who has mastered fruit and chocolate desserts. Try the chocolate soda with Irish whiskey.
Egg, bacon and spam? All together? Hell yes!!! While this hole on the wall only seats 8 and the menu is on the wall and the counter, everything is amazing. Try the spicy tuna rice ball as well.
If you don't have a dinner reservation, just sit in the outdoor lounge! You can order from the full menu and it's sooo relaxing with chillin' tunes, candlelight & firepit.
Great place for lunch while shopping for a true taste of Hawaii. Fresh local ingredients. Bring your appetite.
Great place for a plate lunch. Mahimahi burger on taro roll is a favorite. As are the Kalbi ribs!
You'll want to try the porchetta sandwich. It's a roast pork belly stuffed with parsley, garlic, & lemon. Served on a fresh made baguette and finished off in the pizza deck oven. It's crispy & warm!
It's known for their nabe but a friend told us to come for their sukiyaki and it was sooooo good! Did not disappoint! The meatballs are so tasty and the prime beef dipped in the egg wash is yummy too.
Perfect family beach in a small, kid-friendly neighborhood. Bathrooms, water fountain, bins for BBQ ashes. Please kokua and clean up your opala.
Parking available. Lots of families, dogs, and paddle boards. Shower and restrooms. Lots of grass area for BBQ and parties. Next to residential area.
An oasis in Waikiki. Nice sandy beach, lots of shade trees, grass and a museum too. Great place to bbq, picnic or just chill.
Tucked away in a shopping mall, this understated bistro serves uber style Hawaiian with local fish, produce with a touch of Japanese flair. -Heather Hurlbert, Top Chef Just Desserts
One of the less known hiking trails on Ohau is the Koko Gardens. This area has so many different kinds of plants and vegetation and is a quiet place to spend the day. Rarely many people here.
The roads are fun to drive on if you like twists and turns. (; The lookout points are incredible! Awesome views! (:
Make sure to wear good hikingh shoes. Flip flops not recomended. It gets pretty muddy as you go higher and deeper in. But the waterfall at the end is amazing.
Great for day AND night, especially at full moon. You can get some great shots of Waimanalo with the rising moon in the background.
Whale watching from November to April so bring binoculars during the season. Also don't forget to put the sunblock on! Only a 45 minute hike up and back with only the best views!
Great Hike with a lot of elevation gain very quickly. Technically closed so be here between midnight and 2 am to avoid the guard.
This used to be the famous Paradise Park at one point. After it closed down the location became a site for TV productions like Lost and also has several hiking trails.
