One of our best memories of Oahu will always be our wonderful day spent at PCC. Top two things on our list: The Super Ambassador Package that came with an amazing Guide, Eugene Lucerna, the experience without him would not have been the same. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra dollars and buy this package. Eugene took great care to make sure we didn’t miss any of the villages and shows we were interested in. We were always on time for all the events, had front row seats, and most important - shade for the canoe parade! He also made sure we were always comfortable since it was such a hot day. Eugene really went above and beyond in his duties as tour guide, and he made our visit to PCC one of our best days on Oahu!! Last, but not least, the spectacular Ha Breath of Life Show at the end of the night. It was better than some of the Broadway shows that I have seen in NYC. Definitely, I highly recommend the PCC while visiting Oahu!"

We had passed this place over last year, but glad we stopped. It was a windy day and the ocean was churning, but we were mesmerized by the beauty of Laie Point. It is literally at the end of a small subdivision, decent parking. Get out of the car and walk around the point - beautiful scenery on either side - wave crashing into the rock formation, stunning shades of blue in the ocean...take your camera!

6. Malaekahana State Recreation Area

The beach is literally golden. It is a long beach, no lifeguard with limited use (it would seem). This side of the island has more waves, so to speak. A great place to learn to surf. Boogie boarding along the shore line was great. Parasailing is available nearby. The days we were here featured at least a dozen people from sun up to sundown surfing. The breeze coming off of the ocean makes it a great place to fly a kite. It is a great place to spend a few hours, the whole day or spend the night utilizing Malaekahana Beach Campground located on the same beach. This is what we did. The water, beach, waves, limited use and feeling of seclusion really made it a great place to spend the day.

We loved our virtual tour and learned so much about the Temple, the grounds, and the history. We also enjoyed the model of the Temple including the architecture of this beautiful edifice. Sister Brown and Sister Morris were excellent tour guides and we loved their testimonies of the Gospel.

9. Hukilau Marketplace

Reviewed By dsE668VE
We stayed on the North shore, and this marketplace was a great spot near our hotel. You should know that opening hours are flexible (most of Hawaii is!) but it's otherwise quite tourist-friendly. You can get everything from a gluten-free Italian-style breakfast crepe to Dole Whip (but without a wait in line). You'll find outstanding 3rd-generation food trucks and broken-in-front-of-you cold coconut, too. If you're curious, cold coconut is absurdly better than any coconut water you have ever had from a store. If you want to try a monstrous hotdog with Hawaiian flair, the Hale pops here are delicious and some of the most economical choices for eating out.

We love this spot! There is some parking, but it’s limited. The water can be a bit rough particularly on a windy day. Still, it’s a gorgeous view and the beach parking is right off the road. Very accessible. The beach itself is a short distance away around a few grassy dunes. The beach is perhaps a quarter mile from the La’ie shopping plaza—a strip mall with a good Foodland grocery store and some food shops.
