My family is traveling to Hawaii on June 10th, I'd like to know if you guys have any suggestions for what to do. Anything that must be seen? Any great places to go?

We are going to be on the main island most of the time, I think, but will take trips to the other islands.

The main island? Boo. It's nice.. if you're a good surfer.. but not too much happening there unless you go for volcano tours.

Try to spend as much time in Oahu as possible. Lots to do, lots of pretty girls.. dream vacation.

Visit Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona memorial/museum(?) they have.

No Whites in Hawaii, dude. Though there are Tigers, and they'll eat almost everything!

Hawaii can be really boring unless you like drinking, surfing, hiking or have a barrel of money.

Enjoy the sunsets, and try to be awake for at least one sunrise. You'll notice something interesting: when you're close to the equator, the sun doesn't take its time rising or setting. One morning when I watched the sun rise in the Galapagos, a grand total of seventeen seconds elapsed from the time the first direct rays from the sun rose over the ocean to some space being seen between the sun and the horizon.

Go on some nature hikes, too. Hawaii has some cool wildlife.

Which island? I've been on 4 of them...

If you're going to Oahu (Most likely), be sure to check out Hanauma Bay (Er, I think I spelled it correctly). Tons of fish, nice water and atmosphere. Diamond Head is a little hike that gives you a fairly nice view. Waikiki is overrated, if you want to surf, check out the North Shore.

On Big Island, definitely check out Mauna Loa.
Kawai is probably the best island for nature hikes - I had one in 7th grade there, it was terrific.
As for Maui, I can't remember anything that was memorable.

:shock: Hawaii is EXPENSIVE. Bring lots of $. That being said; some general notes.......

1. Don't look out of the airplanes windows as you land. Every landing strip is only a couple of feet away from the ocean. This leads you to believe that you are CRASHING while you are actually just landing.

2. Every beach is FULL of eye candy. Get use to it quick or you girlfriend/wife/mom will be constantly slapping you.

3. Don't look shocked when you spend 80 bucks on dinner. Its expensive there, get used to it.

An even better question is, how many hot guys are there, and would they be willing to hop into bed? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I suggest you visit Pearl Harbour.

See the Arizona memorial.

I recommend the H-3 highway.

Whale watching on Maui is nice too. Also, the Lahaina Whaling Museum.

Ah, yes, H-3... 14 miles, and its like one of the most expensive highways built in the US. The view along it is pretty nice though :)
