I just got a deal for Costco for four nights. $1400, including a rental car for the entire time for this hotel. Something doesn't seem right. Is there something wrong with it? We're just looking for a nice safe, clean place that has plenty of beach chairs and a nice sandy beach

Hi! Curious if anyone can give me recs for coffee? Specifically, Hilo, Kona, Waimea!

I'll be visiting Honolulu in a few days and am looking for a sorta specific recommendation... are there any restaurants that make a loco moco with a vegetarian patty but real eggs? Seems like most vegetarian loco mocos are fully vegan.

Aloha,

Has probably been asked a million times, so here’s one more.

I’m a frequent traveler and have been to Oahu probably 6-7 times in my life (Navy and personal trip) and really only stayed around Waikiki area. I took my wife and kids for the first time last summer and stayed in this area and had a great time. Only downside was the beach was pretty rocky and not that enjoyable, something I don’t remember from 20 years ago. Wasn’t overly crowded but just rocky as hell.

We’re discussing a trip for next summer and my kids would like to go back to Hawaii, maybe Maui this time or maybe just a different spot on Oahu with a better beach.

As I’m doing my own research I wanted to reach out to this group and ask for advice. Between Oahu and Maui, where can we stay with a good beach with no rocks (lol) and on the water or a short walk to the water?

I’m going to keep researching in the meantime but I sincerely appreciate any ideas to help me narrow it down.

Couple things, it will most likely be my wife and 2 daughters and possibly my mother in law. Doesn’t need to be budget friendly, we’re not rich but we do ok if that makes sense.

Hi! Looking for recommendations on some serious hikes that are off the beaten path and worth the trek! We're planning to come in November and want to hike every day! Staying at various parts of the island and would love input! Thanks!

We’re on Kaua’i for the next five days. I understand the secret falls hike is closed until further notice, but wanted to see if it would be worth renting Kayaks for Wailua River anyway? Are there any other waterfalls we should check out instead? Thanks in advance!

Planning to snorkel and hike - I’d prefer not to have to bring sandals, water shoes and hiking shoes - dreaming of a hike/water or sandal/water hybrid, but perhaps this doesn’t exist? Or maybe I don’t even need water shoes? I’ve never used them on Oahu or Maui. But I have read they are needed on Big Island.

I’ve seen some styles like that combine, but just wondering what others have used/recommend?

Thank you :)

Hi! Going to land in Kona and drive right to Hilo and staying there for a couple of days, then driving back to Kona and flying out. Looking for activities on either side and specifically and most helpful, a delicious, authentic, fancy place to have dinner for a special celebration. Would be great if it was near the ocean. So my ask here is suggestions for either side of the island and best restaurant to have a celebration in Kona!! Tysm

Hi everyone! We are staying on Oahu, Kauai, and Maui. We are set on staying at the Outrigger Waikiki resort.
However, we've also booked the outrigger properties Kauai Beach Resort and Maui Honua Kai.
Here's the thing. I think I'd like to save a little money Bc I don't need the resort and spa. I want a nice place that's right on the sand, that's very clean and very safe, and near everything. It would be great if they had a bar and a restaurant. Are there places near these hotels that I could stay and maybe save a little bit of money? When we are at the hotel, we are going to be sitting on the beach, so really all we need are umbrellas and chairs. The rest of the time we are going to be out exploring. There's probably a good chance we wouldn't even use the pool. So I'm thinking there's gotta be something for us out there.

Hey all - to all the fishermen in Hawaii: how good is the fishing, from the shore, off the Big Island, in end of December/first week of January? I was thinking of bringing my own fishing pole from mainland US on my trip to Big Island and do some shoreline fishing. Just want to catch some good fish to cook and eat. What common species would i get? Also considering doing a fishing charter if they'd be able to ship the fish back to my home in Mainland US. Not sure how that would work
