What to do and see in Honolulu, Hawaii (HI): The Best Classes & Workshops

April 7, 2022 Claudia Navarrete

The mere mention of Hawaii is enough to prompt visions of grass skirts and colorful cocktails with tiny umbrellas. While you will find some kitsch in Honolulu, you’ll also find art museums, bike paths, and some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Popular Waikiki Beach has soft sands and great surf. For majestic Oahu views scramble to the top of Diamond Head – a 350-acre volcanic crater. Historic structures like Iolani Palace and Ali'iolani Hale are worth a visit on a non-beach day.

We took a mini class with Linda on Hawaiian favorites and she was nice enough to open up a new class for us. The experience from beginning to end was entertaining and educational. We are foodies and cooking class junkies. Linda’s class was unique and her style laid back and engaging. She makes you feel comfortable and valued. We learned how to make some common Hawaiian classics and had a delicious meal at the end of class. I will definitely book another class next trip to HI ! Thank you chef Linda !
