Things to do in Ahuimanu

We had a great time at the ranch. Our guide was amazing! Arrived just in time for our tour, be sure to go to the ticket counter before lining up for your timed tour. Our guide explained well the ins and outs of the ranch, not just the movies shot there but the history and work being done beyond the big screen. Highly recommended.

As a highly recommended attraction for military fans and history lovers, the Missouri itself is a witness to the surrender of Japan and the end of World War II, and its historical significance is worth a visit. The maintenance of the warship itself can be seen to be very careful, and there are many open areas. It is highly recommended to visit. Military fans can visit the Aviation Museum and the Submarine Museum. There is a large hangar behind the Aviation Museum. Don't forget to visit it. The Arizona Memorial requires a ferry, and you must check in on the spot, but it is very close to the Missouri, which is a bit unnecessary.

Japan killed 2,403 Americans during the Pearl Harbor attack and 35,000,000 Chinese during the world war 2. Seeing the USS Arizona Memorial and crying Chinese baby lost parents is hard. The site kept and explained the history well. I highly recommend everyone who like learning about history and love peace to visit. I feel this is the most important site to visit in Honolulu. 珍珠港

Pure Energy & Tropical Beauty – Waikiki Beach, Oʻahu 🌊🌴 (10/10)Yes, Waikiki Beach is crowded. Very crowded. But here’s the thing—it’s crowded for a reason. Because it might just be the best beach on the entire island.Let’s start with the water. The color is that unreal shade of turquoise you only see in postcards. The waves are gentle enough for beginners but fun enough to surf, swim, or just play in. Whether you want to snorkel, ride a longboard, or simply float on your back and stare at the sky, Waikiki delivers.And the view? Diamond Head rising in the background is absolutely iconic. You can lie on the warm sand, soak up the sun, and feel like you’re in a movie. The whole atmosphere is lively, energetic, and full of aloha spirit. Families, couples, solo travelers—everyone is smiling.Yes, you’ll share the space with lots of people. But somehow that energy adds to the magic. It’s not a quiet hidden cove—it’s a vibrant, joyful celebration of beach life.Final verdict: 10/10. If you want solitude, look elsewhere. But if you want the most fun, most beautiful, most alive beach experience on Oʻahu? Waikiki is it. Don't miss it. 🏄‍♂️☀️🌊

Every shot is a beautiful sight, very pleasing to the eye. The largest island in Hawaii is Oahu, the most prosperous and youthful, known as a surfer's paradise. Pearl Harbor is the beautiful pain of this island.

The Hohlum Lucia Botanical Garden is very large and transportation is relatively inconvenient. It is best to drive here. If you take a bus, you will need to walk a long mountain road, but the scenery is very beautiful and it is worth the trip.

A must see for all who visit Hawaii and appreciate history. It was a very humbling experience to visit a place I had only ever heard about in text books before.

My legs ached from climbing Diamond Head; the steps wound and twisted, and I had to rest several times. At the top, the wind was so strong I could barely stand. Oahu stretched out below, the sea a dazzling blue. An old lady was holding a selfie stick, her hair whipping across her face in the wind. The radar station, a dilapidated tin building, was badly rusted; someone was leaning against the wall, catching their breath. On the way down, my knees were weak. I encountered an elderly couple still climbing, panting, saying they were almost there. Back in the parking lot, I filled half a bottle with water; the sun was scorching the bike seat.

We drove to Nu‘uanu Pali Lookout. The parking lot was not as crowded as we thought. After parking the car, we went to the automatic toll machine to pay. The wind was really strong. If you were not careful, your hat would be blown away. If you were lucky, you could pick it up. If you were unlucky, it would be blown directly into the valley. For girls, it is not recommended to wear a skirt. The scenery is very good, and the magnificent valley scenery is refreshing.

The Honolulu Japanese Temple is also quite good. It is completely modeled after the Japanese style. The temple is made of wood and looks pretty good. There is an artificial lake in front and the surrounding scenery is also very beautiful. I really like the environment here to visit and play.
