Hope this Helps!

Don’t bother to rent a car there is no free parking on the island . Get the Roberts transfer bus to your hotel they sell a round trip back to the airport. The yellow city buses go every place and only cost like $2.00 a ride . You will want to do the USS Arizona Memorial , The Battleship Missouri , The Submarine next to it. that will be a whole day. There is the Bishop museum , the Dole pineapple plantation , there is a small shopping mall where some high school students do a close order drill and Hawaiian flag raising ceremony it is only a block from the beach. There is the Polynesian Cultural Center which is like a whole day event your hotel desk person should be able to get you discount tickets. There is every kind of restaurant imaginable from burger king, McDonald’s, take out oriental , to white table cloth places . just depends what your taste and wallet like. There is Diamond Head if you like hiking there is a hiking trail to the top of Diamond Head . There is Sandy Beach where the movie “From here to eternity ” shot the beach scene with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr . That is a about 30 minutes north of Diamond Head. There is Haleeva (I think i spelled it wrong ) way up on the north end of the Island where the serious surfing is done . There is the Fort Derussy Army museum , next to the Hale Koa hotel which is a servicemans hotel . I am sure that other people will come up with more things to do
