From Singapore : Honeymoon in Hawaii

Hi all,

I booked a packaged honeymoon itinerary as follows :

Pagoda Hotel : 3 days

Ohana Maui Islander : 3 days

Its only one month away... and we are so so worried that once we get there we might not be able to enjoy the trip fully due to poor planning. I would really appreciate if you guys could suggest the stuff we could do in the areas mentioned above so as to enjoy our honeymoon to the max :)

We are in out mid 20s.

We do not plan to rent a car as we are not used to driving even here in Singapore.

My wife just picked up snorkelling but isnt a good swimmer. Pls recommend safe beach areas :)

We love to watch the TV series `LOST%26#39; and to view the scenes from the show would be nice (if its nearby)

We also love to see the volcanos and waterfalls (probably have a dip in the waterfalls)

We love fast food (I dont know if you have In n Out in Hawaii%26gt;%26gt;, buffets are kinda expensive so we`d like to do more fast foods.

Any other reasonable (not costly) placed to eat with good scenic view nearby?

Thanks a lot

Ohana Maui Islander has just been refurbished. It is now known as Outrigger Aina Nalu.

Here is a list of things to do on Oahu. You can%26#39;t possibly do all of them.

tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic-g29222-i37-k647862鈥?/a>

You can get a Circle Island tour which includes USS Arizona Memorial for about $50 each. Or you can take a bus to Arizona Memorial for $2 each way. (or $20 pass for 4 days)

Most of the tours are from Waikiki hotels. You may have to walk to Hawaii Prince Hotel. I don%26#39;t know if the tour buses pick up at Pagoda Hotel. Maybe at the Ala Moana Hotel which is closer to Waikiki.

Waikiki is nice. Several fast food restaurants like McDonald%26#39;s, Jack in the Box. Also several inexpensive buffets for $7-$15. Lots of ';early bird specials'; for dinner for $8-$15. Over 100 restaurants to choose from in Waikiki.

Duke%26#39;s in Outrigger Waikiki is fairly inexpensive %26amp; has a good view.

Polynesian Cultural Center is nice, but really takes a full day. You might want to see a Waikiki show instead. Creation: A Polynesian Journey is nice. Cocktail seating for about $30.

Several free Polynesian shows at some Waikiki locations. Also at Ala Moana Center which is close to Pagoda Hotel. The free brochures which you can fiind all over has dates %26amp; times of the free shows.

Downtown Honolulu has Chinatown, Aloha Tower, Foster Gardens. Chinatown %26amp; Aloha tower are free. Foster Gardens is one of the better botanical gardens on Oahu. Only costs about $5.

You can take a bus to Hanauma Bay. Costs $2 each way by bus + $5 admission to the park.

You won%26#39;t see any active volcanoes on Oahu or Maui. Next best thing is climbing Diamond Head on Oahu. It%26#39;s an extinct volcano. So is Haleakala on Maui.

On Maui, stroll Lahaina, maybe take a tour of Road to Hana or Haleakala or Iao Valley. Road to Hana tour will stop at some waterfalls.
