First Time Solo on Oahu - What to see?

I%26#39;ll be there for 3 days in mid-Sept %26amp; would like some advice on what to see. I%26#39;m an early morning person %26amp; I%26#39;ll be staying at the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach. I know I want to see historic WWII sites and the Doris Duke home looks interesting.

Someone suggested using the public bus for most transport. ?

As to age: I voted for Jimmy Carter in my first election.

Thanks for the help.

First Time Solo on Oahu - What to see?

Rent a car the entire time. You%26#39;ll enjoy Oahu more with a car %26amp; it won%26#39;t cost you any more than buses, trolleys, shuttles, cabe %26amp; tours that you can do on your own.

First Time Solo on Oahu - What to see?

Like you, I am interested in seeing WWII sites also. I visited the Arizona Memorial this past year and it was great. This year I am planning on doing the Home Of The Brave tour. It takes you to the Memorial, Schofield Barracks, Punchbowl Cemetery, and other WWII sites. You might look into that. Have fun and enjoy Hawaii.

That tour is fantastic, Parrot.

And ITA with Dusty%26#39;s advice to rent a car the whole time you%26#39;re here. No sense at all wasting valuable vacation time waiting for buses and trolleys.

Hey, Dorchester MA: I will be solo in Oahu 9/24-9/28, and voted for Jimmy Carter, too! Will you still be there? I%26#39;m at the HIlton. I will be doing mostly adventure, but want to see historic Hawaii as well.

You can get a bus pass for $20 that is good for 4-consecutive days. If you have no definite time commitments and don%26#39;t mind riding the bus all day, it%26#39;s a cheap way to cover the entire island.

And if anyone else reading plans to be in town the last week of September and is into adventure, I%26#39;d love to team up with anyone interested in skydiving, or ziplining on Kauai.

Hike to the top of Diamond Head as well. Get there early, gates open at 6am. A Mai Tai at Duke%26#39;s or the Royal Hawaiian is always a good way to end the afternoon.

I go to the Islands several times a year; occasionally solo. In fact; will be there this Friday the 15th by myself for a few days. If you want to do any non WWII stuff definitely rent a car and go to Kailua on the Windward side of the island. ';The best beach in the world” (Conde Nast), also a laid back area with some good restaurants.

Went the independent route back then and voted for Anderson in my first election.

ss also and if you haven%26#39;t already I would suggest flying out of town at night so that you will arive in honolulu during the day and fly out of honolulu in the afternoon so you arrive back in town during the day. We overlooked this and arrived in honolulu at midnight.
