I am going with my girlfriend to visit her family in Oahu for the third time. We'll be there about a week but 3-4 days of that are already planned out in regards to a family reunion type of thing. Her family is asking what we want to do with the rest of our time but I'm having a hard time coming up with new stuff to do. I feel like we've done most of the toursity type of stuff there is to do. So what do you do in Oahu? I'm sure we're overlooking something, I'm open to anything.

You've probably done most of this, but this is what I have off the top of my head:

- Hike up diamond head, hike to Makapu'u Point, lots of other hiking
- Visit the USS Arizona memorial at Pearl Harbor
- Visit the Ko'Olina Lagoons
- Visit Hanauma Bay
- Sea Life Park
- Waikiki Beach
- North Shore, Turtle Bay Resort
- Polynesian Cultural Center
- Pu'u O Mahuka Heiau State Monument
- Dole Plantation
- Atlantis submarine tour
- Attend a Luau
- Bishop Museum

With a name like IsLNdbOi, he might know what he's talking about. ;)

Thanks, that was the kind of list I was looking for. We've done most of those but there were a few we haven't that sound interesting.

Nothing. Fly to Maui and experience real Hawaii.

What is there to do in Maui that is the 'real' Hawaii? We were thinking of doing the ferry out there for a day but all the ferry site mentions as interesting is shopping. We'd only be doing a single day there tops since her parents are flying us to visit her family all of which live on Oahu but the last couple trips we've taken a day or two to do our own thing.
