Hey there.

I go to Hawaii quite often, i actually just got back yesterday (although i’m from Canada) however check kayak.com for airfare, as well you might want to check Hawaiian Air. From Canada West Jet is always the best!

Not sure what your interested in seeing or doing, however i can probably answer most questions you might have so feel free to ask.

As for inexpensive hotel rates, you can look on Kayak.com as well, but you can find some good deals on hawaii-connections.com , or try VRBO (vacation rentals by owners. I went for a month and paid what most people will pay for 10 days. I have stayed a several different hotels, and would say you will get a better deal at hotels that aren’t directly on the beach front. However in some cases you can still get an ocean view from a block away. With the econmy the way it is, you should get the actual hotels website too – they might be offering better deals for going to the actual hotel site.

There is tons to do away from Waikiki beach. Diamond Head walk, Haunauma Bay (closed one day a week for cleaning by the state), Lanakai Beach, Pearl Harbour Memorial, Polynesian Cultural Centre, North Shore, Dole Plantation, The stadium Market(Wed, Sat & Sun), Dog the bounty hunter, etc..

Walking distance in Waikiki is the obvious, tons of shops, and restaurants, beach, surfing rentals. There is also Ala Moana Mall, The Zoo, The Aquarium, The Military Museum and of course the famous Central Market – Tip: shop around..and try to barter with the stand and vendors.. you’ll get a better price.

Sometime they show movies on the beach down by where the zoo is. The will post a sign of what is playing

Any adivce would be .. don’t take anything too valuable to the beach unless someone is there to watch your stuff. There are homeless people down on the beach and they blend in with thier shorts and t shirts. Be wary of “casanova” guys that you meet on the beach. Most are con artists that will tell you stories to get you to pay for things, and basically rip you off or they are looking for girls to be prositues… yes it does happen. I’m not a big drinker, so i don’t really frequent the bars there.. but be careful of the same in the beach bars as on the beach.

Good restaurants – California Pizza Kitchen – good selection, fair prices, and good tasting food. Cheese Cake Cafe – pretty good too. Everyone has to experience – Cheeseburger in Paradise at least once. Tip: Most people go to eat between 5-7 and everything is packed. Either eat before that or after and you won’t end up waiting in a long line. Zippy’s is a economical place that has decent food, however they are not directly in waikiki beach. L&L is local and pretty good too. McDonalds is basically the same.. however with the meal deals you get a small container of pinapple too.

Gotta experience: Hagen Daas: Pinapple-Coconut ice cream, Leonards Bakery – Malasadas. Fresh pinapple, Luau.

Hope that helps you out.
