Hawaiian HM in 20 days and I still need help!!

Hi Ladies!! FH and I are getting married in 18 days and then leaving for our HM 2 days later. We're going to Hawaii for 15 days (Waikiki for 3, Maui for 6 and Kuaia for 6).

Can anyone recommend excursions and most importantly restaurant recommendations! We're open to nice and fancy as well as food truck kind of shacky places!

Oahu -

Food:

There is a great seafood place down by the piers called Nicos as pier 38. The food is fresh from what they catch that morning so I was told.

Eggs and things was very crowded but delicious.

Rainbow Drive-in was featured on some show (diners drive-ins and dives? or whatever it is) but we didn't enjoy it too much.

Things to do:

Polynesian Cultural Center - We enjoyed the full day to learn about different things. The dinner was good and the show at the end of the night was great!

Maui -

Food:

Da Kitchen - really good food and great portions! I remember the service being super fast too even though the place was packed.

Things to do:

Road to Hana - long and windy road with beautiful waterfalls along the way. I think it was worth it but DH didn't think all too much of it.

Haleakala Bike company. This was a highlight of our honeymoon. We got up super early to see the sunrise at Haleakala and rode down at our own pace. They told us a good place to stop for breakfast (good food) and we finished our way down. We got transportation to and from our hotel for this one so we didn't have to drive so early. If you go up (which really is a must) to see the sunrise bring plenty of blankets!!!!

Kauai -

Food: Can't remember anything too memorable to mention.

Things to do:

Kauai Back country Tubing - This was fun to do. It was different and the water was extremely cold, but we had a good time.


Hope this all helps! Have a wonderful honeymoon (and wedding of course)!!!

Go to the shrimp trucks up by the North Shore on Oahu. So delicious! And you can sign your name on it :)

We went scuba diving through Reef Pirates (I think that was their name, very good).

There's a cool restaurant with TONS of beer if you guys are beer drinkers in Waikiki called The Yard House. We also did a sunset booze cruise that left from the beach and it was a blast.

Go visit or eat at Turtle Bay.

Haven't been to the other islands, sorry! Have fun!

Did you stay at Turtle Bay? FH and I are thinking of staying there for a couple of nights on our honeymoon.

My sister went to Hawaii for her HM and they stayed on Kauai and Maui. On one those islands they did an excursion where they watched the sunrise from the top of a Volcano. You have to get up super early, and its really cold up there (like middle of winter) of the pictures were UNREAL! She froze, but she was so happy they did that, its a once in a lifetime experience :)

Yess!! I heard about this. I think it's Mt. Haleaka!! FH totally wants to do it for Sunrise, but I heard it's great at Sunset too!

We went to Maui for our honeymoon and it is amazzzing.

Some places to eat and things to do that I would recommend:

Food:
Ono Bar & Grill (Located on the Westin Property)
Leilanis Restaurant (by the Whaler’s Village)
Pita Paradise (two locations, in Kihei and Wailea)
Cool Cat Café

Maui Excursions:
Sunshine Helicopter Tours
Wailele Polynesian Luau
Snorkel Adventure with Trilogy
The Road to Hana
Warren and Annabelle’s Comedy Magic Show
The Heavenly Spa by Westin

Oahu:

definetly rent a car one day and explore hte other side of the island- there are tons of pretty beaches that are private and you can also find some with HUGE waves and watch the surfers.

Maui:

the sunrise bike ridew down haleakala is uneal!

the road to hana is cool too, but i along day so make sure you get an early start and bring lunch. talk to your conceirge first and they will tell you about deli's that have special 'road to hana lunch boxes.' also i recommend renting a wrangler for this b/c it makes it more fun. also, there is a company (can't think of the name) that rents out special GPS for the drive. it is way better than the CDs you can get b/c you dont have to keep stopping/pausing it- the GPS just knows where you are and when to start being the 'tour guide'. ask your conceirge about it.

for a fun night out, go to lahaina- good retaurants and bars.
