Hawaii Recap :: Oahu

From Maui, we took a short flight to the island of Oahu. I decided to stay in Waikiki because we didn't have a rental car. Parking can be super expensive and challenging in Waikiki. We took a doors-off helicoper ride over Oahu. A bucket list item for sure. To see the island from the air was awe inspiring. The experience was a thrill of a lifetime. That was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. We were able to squeeze some of most popular tourist attractions in 3 days. All in all, we love Hawaii. It was my 2nd time being in Hawaii. My husband and Madelyn's first time. Such a beautiful state. We'll be back for sure.

Locations/points of interest/companies we have used:
🏨 Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach
👨‍🏭 Pearl Harbor National Memorial
🦐 Giovanni's Shrimp Truck - OMG! Mouth watering
⛰️ Diamond Head State Monument
🐠 Shark's Cove in North Shore - Absolutely amazing!
🐠 Hanauma Bay - This is the #1 spot for snorkeling in Oahu. You need a reservation in advance. If you cannot get a reservation, try Shark's Cove. It's just as amazing.
🌺 Toa Luau - Recommend to book in advance
🛍️ Ala Moana shopping center
🚘 Used Turo for one-day car rental to visit North Shore
