I would def go to hawaii this summer or any time of the year. I just can't get enough of that place! I have been 6 times and I have found enough on Oahu to do that i haven't even ventured out to the other islands yet! Here are some things in Waikiki and around the island to do;Dukes is def cool and right on the beach, and if you want to dance with the youngsters you can head over to scruples. There are a ton of eating places down on the strip but the real hawaii is out of town. Take the bus or drive up to manoa and experience the rainforest and a natural waterfall! Take a trip to the north shore and go to waimaia valley and see some of the most spectacular fauna anywhere! If you adventurous hike along the ridges and see paradise from 4000 feet! I did that and loved every second of it..ok well it was more like 8 hours of it but anyway..lol. Diving and snorkeling are pretty awesome too! Hanuama bay is touristy and with good reason. You are guaranteed to see tons of fish and have a nice afternoon at a beautiful beach! Diving can be done just off shore and runs around 100 bucks for 2 tanks and you don't need to be experienced. Not far out of town you can jetski or parasail. Wouldn't really bother with the jetskiing cause they have too many rules in hawaii but the parasailing is something you should atleast try once. After that it gets kind of boring. In town the international market place is def cool and worth strolling through...a tip..go to all the kiosks and then go back and don't be affraid to barter..that's how it works there! On the weekend a really cool thing to do it go to aloha stadium for a huge flea market!!! I mean huge the tents go all around the stadium and everything you find for suviners in waikiki you will find there for way i mean way cheaper!! Oh one last thing, you have to go to a luau and the paradise cove luau is the best. oh crap...just thought of something else that will help you out. Go to Entertaiment.com and buy the book for hawaii and it will give you so many discount coupons it will pay for it self right away. I did and it worked great. Don't forget that part..really do it you won't be sorry. Many 2-1 coupons on dinners in waikiki which is really expensive.I have been to hawaii 6 times now and would love to live there. I hope you make it cause you won't forget it! Aloha! Some more stuff: Must See Attractions Paradise Cove Luau - Best on the Island Polynesian Cultural Center - North Shore Diamond Head - Cause everyone's doing it Waikiki- Can't go to hawaii and miss the strip Manoa Falls - An easy hike with views and feel of the jungle and it's free! Hanuama Bay - Best tourist snorkeling in the islands! Drive the Pali Highway and go to the lookout Makiki Heights drive - Tourists don't find this gem and it's amazing! MUST SEE. Check your map to get to Makiki Heights. Great views of the island Restaurants: There are tons of restaurants in Waikiki. If you are young and like to drink then drink b/4 you go out! The Pacific Beach Hotel has drink specials all week long and there a good deal. There are Mai Tai specials all over but DIXIES has the screamin Mai TAi which comes in a 32 oz glass and is about 6 bucks!!! Good Eats there too! For cheaper eats go outside of town over towards the Kaneohe side. If you do want to eat in Waikiki then i would highly recommend that you go to www.entertainment.com and buy the book for hawaii. This coupon book will save you a ton on the island! Seriously everytime i go i get the book and use all the 2-1 deals in it! Check ebay for it too sometimes you can get it dirt cheap! Hotels; Best hotel for the money is the Ocean Resort Hotel on the east end of the strip. Very close to the beach, decent rooms, service is good and you will pay under a 100 a night for most rooms and the parking is much cheaper than the other hotels! Have a great trip your gonna love it!<br><b>References : </b><br>Have fun on your trip! Hawaii is definately worth it! I would def go to hawaii this summer or any time of the year.

Make sure you go early the crowd can be kinda nuts, also don't forget to bring your snorkeling gear. Another place that is known world wide is the North Shore for is great surfing spots, but DO NOT go swimming there unless you are an experienced swimmer. Also make sure to stop at Haleiwa town's Matsumoto Shaved Ice stand when you're on that side of the island. A great place to swim is Koolina, it has man made lagoons. Check out the STADIUM flea market for great priced souvenirs, don't buy them in Waikiki, it's over priced there<br><b>References : </b><br> I live here in Hawaii and personally I think Hanauma Bay is really cool, you can swim in a bay with fish swimming right along side of you.

I would first recommend checking out the podcast 808Talk which tells people the best places to visit, food to eat and the do's and don'ts of adapting to the culture. Other great places include checking out the Official Hawaii Visitor's site where you can select the island of Oahu and it tells you all the great things going on. My last suggestion would be to check out Hawaii Web which also breaks down Hawaii by island and gives you the great things to do there. Three places I would definately check out are Hanauma Bay, Polynesian Cultural Center and Iolani Palace. If your coming to Oahu those three things you MUST SEE!<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.808Talk.com http://www.gohawaii.com http://www.hawaii.com http://www.polynesia.com http://www.iolanipalace.org http://www.honolulu.gov/parks/facility/hanaumabay/ http://www.hawaiiweb.com There is such an abundance of information available about great places to see on Oahu.
