Welcome to Oahu! 🌴

As a Waikiki resident, here's my advice on how to spend 7 days on Oahu. In fact, this is the one week itinerary I planned for my own family's recent visit!

Day 1 & 2 – Arrival & Relax🌺

In case of flight delays, don't make any major plans for Day 1. On Day 2, relax and enjoy Waikiki Beach. Book a Luau for Night #2.

Day 3 - Helicopter Tour & Pearl Harbor 🚁

A morning helicopter tour: doors-off for amazing views! Next, visit nearby Pearl Harbor National Memorial. End the day with dinner at Duke's.

Day 4 - Diamond Head Hike 🌄

Saturday is the perfect day for a morning hike at Diamond Head, followed by breakfast at the weekly KCC Farmer's Market.

Day 5 - Kualoa Ranch & a Scenic Drive 🦖

Morning UTV tour at Kualoa Ranch, a Jurassic Park adventure! Then, a driving tour of Oahu's stunning windward side.

Day 6 - Explore the North Shore 🏖️

Escape to Oahu's North Shore, for giant waves and a laid-back vibe. From surfing to garlic shrimp trucks, the North Shore is a must-visit. Spend your last day relaxing on the beach!
