Amazing Things to Do In Honolulu, Hawaii on Vacation

Honolulu Hawaii needs little introduction. It offers a beautiful, sunny beach vacation for visitors from northern climates, but as the capital of Hawaii, it also offers so much more in terms of the arts, culture, shopping and nightlife.

Hike Diamond Head Crater

Active kids love this hike, with its bunkers and tunnel. And you’ll love the magnificent panoramic view from the top of Waikiki and the Honolulu skyline. 

Visit Iolani Palace

Enjoy the drive out of San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge. Fingers crossed the typical marine layer is not fogging you in, as you’ll stop at one of the most famous viewpoints: Golden Gate Bridge View Vista Point

Learn to hula

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center in Waikiki offers free hula lessons. If you want to see a professional performance, there’s a Polynesian Cultural Center performance on Saturday.
