Visiting Oahu? I got you.

Two weeks minimum-- this is what you should plan for. And don't try and just stay in one area of the island, it's truly too beautiful to miss out on because you are trapped in Waikiki. Let's talk the perfect plan, the perfect vacation to Oahu.

​Setting: Flight lands at 12:30pm on a Tuesday. You may feel some jet lag, we have our own time zone after all.

Day 1: Airbnb in Waikiki, happy hour at Hideout Waikiki. Everything is delightful and the atmosphere is PERFECT. Try and sit by the fire pit in the corner! ​

Day 2: Kaimana's beach-- I love this one. It is a bit away from Waikiki beach, totally walkable, and you can pop into Hau Tree for a mid day cocktail. :D Okay! After your first steps in Hawaiian waters, let's talk lunch. You're still in Waikiki at this point so let's be efficient with time and distance. If you are still in beach mode, head into Tucker and Bevy to pick up some picnic like items to munch on at Waikiki beach. PICTURES Y'ALL. The surfboard racks are down that way and are perfect for a photo op. :D More beach time, MAKE SURE TO LATHER UP THE REEF FRIENDLY SUN SCREEN. From here, I would head to the Airbnb and shower, you'll want a cute fit for happy hour and dinner. Next up: Deck Waikiki. Okay not gonna lie, the food is not WONDERFUL, but the cocktails are good, and the view is fantastic. Be here for sunset, you won't wanna miss it.

Day 3: Let's go for a morning hike. Manoa Falls! Recently renovated, totally gorgeous, easy for all hikers. BRING BUG SPRAY! The mosquitos are vicious. Before you get there, pop into Morning Glass for a scone and a coffee-- so so so GOOD. The hike is not terribly long, but if you are hungry after your hike, I totally recommend Peace Cafe. They make their own bread and vegan peeps will love this one. It feels so good to eat here after a hike. Best way to wash off hiking sweat is with a nice swim. I would totally take my avocado sammie to Ala Moana Beach to hang out there for a bit. Walk the park, it's really relaxing. Okay, around 3ish, head for the hotel to shower and get ready. I am assuming you will only take about an hour to get this squared away. Off to Kakaako! :D Happy hour at MOKU--- 1/2 off pizzas and the perfect paloma. Also! Get the squash ravioli, it's a MUST. I would do a walk around the area to see the street art! :D After that, dinner time at 1938 Indochine. This place--- literally everything is good, but I am super in love with the dumplings and the Empress cocktail.
