affordable things to do in oahu?

nicole p asked:


my sister (26), brother (19), and i (15) are going to oahu (we’re staying in waikiki) next week for 6 days.
we need to know where we should go and all (and fun for our ages), but we are on a budget.
so far, we’re planning on going to:
waikiki beach
hanauma bay
diamondhead
moana (sp?) falls
some other hike
lanikai beach

however, we’re not renting a car, so i don’t think we can go to north shore

    Honolulu’s public transportation system is amazing. Don’t forget Pearl Harbor and China Town. All are fairly close to where you are going to be staying.

    Don’t forget the Iolani Palace

    Pick up the Oahu Saver book…you can find them everywhere…they have some good deals on Activities! Also download the ‘Trip Advisor’ site I gave above..
    The Best way to get around is Public Transportation…Traffic on Oahu is outrageous…so I would rent a car for a day or two to get to the other side of the Island..North Shore..it’s worth it…you can get some pretty good deals on cars for the day
