  1. diamond head and waikiki beach are free. go to www.tripres.com and you can book everything on there and they give prices. dont forget the Gremanes luao. very worth it!


  2. Here below I have the links to the sites of the places you have listed to tell you more information about each location if I do not have too much to share with you about it.

    1. Pearl Harbor [$ Not Sure] http://www.nps.gov/usar/]

    Ive visited the ship that you can go on before. It is very interesting to see the different displays and go through the hallways and up/down ladders of a battleship.

    2. Hanauma Bay Preserve [There is a small fee for parking then $5.00 for non hawaii residents, there is also snorkel,fins,locker, etc rentals available on the beach., there is also a trolley that leads you from the main entrance down the hill to the beach. its 50 cents to go down and a dollar to ride up, but seriously, the walk down may take only 2 minutes, and up 3 minutes]

    I really advise going here. My friends and I love going here. We just went 2 weeks ago and again today. Each time we went, everyone saw fish. Its really nice there. I also advise you of going in the morning and staying till the early afternoon times (like before 3:00p) because thats when there is a slight chance of the waters getting cloudy because of tides and tourists.

    3. Diamond Head State Mountain [$1 per walk in, $5 per car] http://www.hawaiiweb.com/oahu/hiking_and...

    Ive been here a couple times too. Its a good work out if you like doing these kinds of things. The scenery going to the top is not that spectacular (except for the 3 pit stop points where you can look out) however the top has a beautiful view overlooking waikiki, honolulu, all the way out to the ewa side. Just a note, take water, hats, sunscreen, and anything else you may need because there are no bathrooms or consessions on the route.

    4. Waikiki Beach ($ None)

    Its a great beach to go to especially if you where staying in waikiki. It can be greatly crowded with tourists, however, if you spend the time going a bit furthur, i still advise to go to hanauma bay, the water is much nice and clearer.

    5. Iolani Palace ($ Varies) http://www.iolanipalace.org/

    Ive visited here twice. If you sign up for the tour to go into the palace, it gives you an idea of how the palace people lived long ago with the furnitures and lightings, etc that replicate the time period. Not only that but you need to wear "booties" over your footware so you dont damage the flooring. This could get boring for those who like adventours things, however interesting to those who like to learn about historical things.

    6. Aloha Tower ($ None)

    Aloha Tower is an ok place to go to. Nothing much really except for the small shopping center around it. The only thing significant about it is how it was once the tallest building in Hawaii.

    7. Honolulu Harbor ($ None)http://www.hawaiiweb.com/html/hawaii_the...

    I just looked this up and it seems like the harbor right next to aloha tower, there is nothing really to see here... lol

    8. Thomas Square ($ None)

    I pass it all the time in town. Its not a eye catching park. It actually looks kind of unappealing [haha] I think other parks like kapiolani park by the honolulu zoo, aquarium and waikiki beach is much nicer.

    9. Island Soap & Candle Works ($ Varies, depends what you buy)

    Normal Shop.

    10. Ala Moana Center ($ None)

    Great shopping mall to visit if you come to hawaii. Its big with various of shops. There are a lot of "brand name" stores too if youre one of those high end shoppers. If youre going to daimond head area, I would also advise you to try stopping by Kahala Mall, its a great indoor mall for browsing.

    11. Dole Plantation ($ Varies) http://www.dole-plantation.com/

    I have visited here and lived near by this area (Wahiawa) when i was young. Its interesting seeing the pineapple machines working with the pineapples. You even get free samples (haha) At the plantation, there is also the worlds largest mazes. You can enter it for a small fee

    12. Polynesian Cultural Center ($ Varies) http://www.polynesia.com/

    Ive been here before. for me, being from hawaii, this was actually boring, but the tourists seem to find it interesting. there are a lot of activities to do, like watch fire dancing shows, hula shows, make crafts, play games, visit the theaters, ride in boats, etc. which all come with the entry fee. [last time i went]

    ----------------------

    so overall, here are my groupings of the items you listed. [1st one listed being highley reccomended]

    want some knowledge or historical learning

    - pearl harbor

    - polynesian cultural center

    - iolani palace

    - dole plantation

    want adventure / active fun

    - hanauma bay

    - daimond head

    - waikiki beach

    shop addict

    - ala moana

    (- kahala mall)

    - island soaps

    i dont think you should go and visit honolulu harbor or thomas square, but probably just pass them on the way to somewhere because there is really nothing to stop and look at.

    hope this helps! :)
