top 10 things to do in Oahu... please post
 

Hi everyone! I'm planning my honeymoon for this october and i need help with activities or things to do. Can you please post your favorites? Thanks.

The Sunday Brunch at the Moana hotel; the beach at Mokapu'u; the Arizona Memorial.

Add to that Honolulu itself to include a walk to the top of Diamond Head, a visit to the Punchbowl, the native historic locations downtown, & sunset dining on the beach accompanied by Hawaiian music & dancers.

Snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, drive around the island to Haleiwa, hike to Manoa Falls, take a surfing lesson, outdoor dining at Duke's, House Without a Key, Mai Tai Bar or enjoy the view (indoor) from the HanoHano Room at night

Waikiki beach
Doris Duke's Shangri La tour
Honolulu Academy of the Arts

dinner at sunset at the Banyon Veranda restaurant at the old Moana Surfrider hotel

eating 'plate lunch'

Drive the windward coast...lots of beautiful places to stop and play including Lanakai Beach. Visit the north shore... pick up Driving and Discovering Oahu if you feel like a road trip.

congrats and aloha!

Here's a thread with lots of things to do on Oahu. I think I posted it before on one of your other questions.

My favorites:

Arizona Memorial
Polynesian Cultural Center
Climb Diamond Head
Snorkel Hanauma Bay
Tantalus Drive & Punchbowl at the bottom of the drive
Stroll Waikiki Beach & Kalakaua Ave.
Circle Island drive
Manoa Falls & nearby Lyon Arboretum
North Shore beaches
Byodo In Temple (Valley of the Temples)
Chinatown & nearby Aloha Tower
Bishop Museum

Iolani Palace

I have a question to add... I've heard about free hula performance on the hula hill (mound, bump?) in Waikiki by the Duke statue.

details? please forgive my butchering of any reference above and mahalo.

The view from Tantalus at dusk.
I'olani Palace.
Watching bodysurfers at Sandy Beach, boogie boarders at Makapu'u beach, and surfers on the North Shore.
The Banyan verandah at the Moana Hotel (and the rocking chairs on the front porch).
Keo's restaurant.
Sunset in Waikiki, and walking along the edge of the water as it is getting dark...going from the crowded street to the almost empty beach in just a few steps.
Playing in the waves at Waimanalo.
Walking through Chinatown and looking at all the different groceries and other shops.
The views as you drive along the coast from Diamond Head to Makapu'u.
Waking up at about 4 a.m. on the first morning and thinking "Wow, it's the first day of my vacation and I am in Hawai'i!!!!"

Congratualtions on your October marriage, and great choice of honeymoon destination!

...Stopping for the breathtaking view at the Pali Lookout as you head over the Pali Highway to the Lanikai side of the island. Checkout the sign/painting (to your left as you're looking out toward the ocean) of warriors being forced over the cliff by King Kamehameha's army, from near the spot where you are standing.
As acaigirl said above, "Driving and Discovering Oahu" (author: something Sullivan) is an excellent resource. Beautiful photos of various spots on the island, accompanied by map and directions of exactly how to get there.

Hi Suze. Check answer to Kopp re: "Kodak Hula Show" -- I think the hula and torchlighting by the statue of Duke is every evening.

Drinks at sunset overlooking any body of water. Cheapest happy hour is at Don Ho's in Aloha Tower Marketplace from 3-6 every day (as discovered by the Kals).

Dusty has a good list, if you do a search on this board you will find lots of information!

Breakfast at the Hau Tree Lanai (Kaimana Beach Hotel) or Michel's (Colony Surf).

Go to Kailua Beach!!
