10 days in Hawaii Itinerary

In many ways much more Asian than American, Honolulu is Hawaii's largest city and its center of government, transportation, commerce, and tourism.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Hawaii Turtle Tours. Explore hidden gems such as Lanikai Beach and Koko Crater Railway Trail. Visiting Scuba & Snorkeling and Puu Ualakaa State Park will get you outdoors. There's still lots to do: appreciate the extensive heritage of Makapuu Lighthouse Trail, stroll the grounds of National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, take in the pleasant sights at Diamond Head State Monument, and get engrossed in the history at USS Arizona Memorial.
