Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Oahu

"Waikiki Beach’s legendary gathering place honoring Hawaii’s great ocean sportsman, Duke Kahanamoku. You'll find beach boys and guests alike with local-style comfort food, Hula Pie, and spectacular sunsets with Diamond Head in view."

"Featuring live music, hula dancing, and a signature Mai Tai, House Without a Key offers a tranquil dining experience with incredible ambiance. The restaurant and its splendid ocean view from beneath a 100-year old Kiawe tree served as the inspiration for a 1925 Earl Derr Biggers novel that spawned two film adaptations. The menu focuses on an upscale barbecue, highlighted by fresh fish and lots of bold Hawaiian flavors."

"The typical daydream of Waikiki often looks like this: watching the sunset paint the skies over the Pacific Ocean while classic Hawaiian music wafts in the tradewinds, all with a refreshing mai tai in hand. And that’s exactly the scene at. , the oceanfront, open-air restaurant at the posh Halekulani Hotel."

"House Without A Key is a Waikiki staple that even locals go to when they want to watch the sunset over drinks. This waterfront restaurant at the ritzy Halekulani Hotel is delightfully casual. Plus, the restaurant has exceptional views of Diamondhead and Waikiki Beach."

"There’s no corporate connection, but Zippy’s does for Hawaii what Denny’s does for the mainland: offers comfort foods at reasonable prices. Menu items, however, tend to be Hawaiian, Korean, Japanese and Chinese. You can get Spam, saimin and many of the other specialties that make Hawaii a smorgasbord of flavors."

"Art-filled coffee shop that transforms into a bar and club at night Another stalwart of the neighborhood’s new nightlife scene, this espresso bar and cafe by day and cocktail bar-cum-club by night has been slinging drinks for a decade and still packs in a cool crowd (be warned about the sardine-like situation on First Fridays). The industrial-style space’s brick walls are lined with rotating art exhibits and you can catch both full-on bands and visiting DJs from around the country on weekend nights. If brown liquor’s your thing, don’t miss the impressive whiskey selection."

"Head to Honolulu’s arts and entertainment district where you’ll find The Manifest, an all-night dance party. This Chinatown bar brings in some of the hottest DJs in town!. Be sure to snap some pictures during your night out; Manifest’s artsy brick walls and hanging lights will make a great picture for the ‘gram."

"The beautiful hike to Likeke Falls, depending on how much time you spend snapping photos and admiring the Ko’olau Mountains, should only take 20-25 minutes. Likeke Falls is one of the least frequented waterfalls in Oahu, but it’s definitely worth the drive, especially if you’re already planning on visiting Maunawili Falls. The short hike is highlighted by mountain vistas, valley overlooks, and lush flora."

"Located near Kailua, the Likeke Falls trail is an easy and muddy trek to a small set of waterfalls. While the Likeke waterfalls themselves are a bit unimpressive, the hike through the lush Hawaiian rainforest is extremely pleasant. Overall, the Likeke Falls are one of the best waterfalls in Oahu."

"Kapolei Golf Course, Barbers Point Golf Course, and Hawaii Prince Golf Club are just a few of the many available golf attractions in this part of Oahu. You’d be hard pressed to find golf courses more beautiful than these in Hawaii!. Want to improve your golf game?. Then read up on these putting tips on how to putt better."

"If you’re feeling extra adventurous on your visit to Waikiki HI, embark on a three-mile journey into the Waimānalo Forest Reserve. Maunawili Falls is a secluded 20-foot waterfall near the genuinely breathtaking Ko’olau Mountains. The trailhead begins in the Maunawili residential area in northern Honolulu, 13 miles from Prince Waikiki."

"A post shared by Dustin Letcher (@dustinletcher) on May 17, 2019 at 9:45pm PDT. One of the most challenging hikes you can possibly try out is definitely the one to Maunawili Falls. Though stipulated as a tough hike, what greets you along the way is as memorable as the challenging hike is."

"Next on my list of the best waterfalls in Oahu is the stunning Maunawili Falls. One of the best waterfall hikes in Oahu, the Maunawili Falls trail receives heavy foot traffic. Located near Kailua, Maunawili is a moderate hike with spectacular views."

"4 km from city center 49 out of 58 places to visit in Honolulu. Sprawled over 5 acres on the Pali Highway of Honolulu, Queen Emma Summer Palace was built in 1848 and served Queen Emma of Hawaii as their summer retreat. Known as a historic landmark, Queen Emma Summer Palace is an aesthetic museum displaying the ancestral possessions of Queen Emma and the Hawaiian royal family."

"Built in 1847, the summer palace and home of Queen Emma and King Kamehameha IV has been restored and offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of the Hawaiian monarchy."

"The USS Missouri Battleship Memorial is also worth visiting while you are in Pearl Harbor. If you’d like more military and history insights of Pearl Harbor, you might consider visiting the USS Bowfin and the Pacific Aviation Museum."

"Together with the Arizona Memorial, the USS Missouri' s presence in Pearl Harbor perfectly bookends America's World War II experience,…"

"< Lunch ideas: We like Hawaiian Island Cafe. (It is closed on Thursdays.) Alternatively, there are lots of restaurants in Kailua. Cinnamon’s is a popular Kailua restaurant that’s open for breakfast and lunch only until 2pm."
