I've been posting off and on about my trip in Jan but wanted to put everything down and see if y'all think I am missing something. This will probably be the only trip to Hawaii I will ever have. Going to the BI and Aulani. So here goes:
Big Island- only have 2 days to tour as we have a conference:
Hamakua Macadamia nut factory
Waimea Farmer's Market
Akaka Falls
Honokaa Chocolate farm tour
either Waipo Valley lookout or Pololu Valley lookout - depending on time
Mountain Thunder coffee farm
possibly Kona Farmer's market
Sea Horse Farm
possible whale watch tour unless we do a different tour on Oahu
No time to see volcanoes and I have asthma so not sure its wise.
Aulani - will be there sun-friday:
Pearl Harbor
Dole plantation
Leonard's food tuck malasadas
Kualoa Ranch
Macadamia nut farm new KR
Giovanni shrimp truck
Northshore to see waves, turtles if possible
Haleiwa for shopping and shave ice and dinner
Whale watch, dolphin swim, and snorkel tour possibly
Luau
Pali lookout
Boots and Kimonos
Kailua and Lanikai beaches
drive southern tip near lighthouse, Blowhole
possible Hanuma bay snorkel
Waiola shave ice and pipeline bakery malasadas
Tantalus overlook
Laniwai spa massage
resort time
We actually are flying in to Oahu Sat late afternoon evening and staying in Kapolei. Hoping to get there about 5ish. Am not a big fan of busy crowded places, but I guess we could visit Waikiki but probably won't. Not sure what else we could do except maybe go to the Tantulus lookout for sunset - actually I like that idea come to think of it.
Anyway, is there any "must dos' that we are missing? Its just me an my co-worker friend
