Day Trip Ideas in Honolulu
Looking for the perfect day trips for your Hawaiian vacation? Hop in your Avis Honolulu rental car, and you’ll probably run into something exciting. The options are virtually endless, but we’ve highlighted a few you may enjoy.
Beaches
Waikiki Beach
As Hawaii’s most famous beach, it will likely be crowded, but it’s worth it to say you’ve been at least once. Walk along the boardwalk, play in the sand and the surf, or even just work on your suntan. The Honolulu Zoo and Waikiki Aquarium are close by, and there are plenty of options for dining, shopping, and entertainment.
Kailua Beach
This 3-mile beach comes with a 35-acre park. Its gentle waves are perfect for those learning how to windsurf or families who just want to play in the water. For those who’d rather enjoy the views from the sand, there is plenty of room to sunbathe, enjoy a picnic, or play one of the popular local sports—volleyball. There are plenty of food options nearby.
Diamond Head
Any hikers looking for breathtaking views of Honolulu, the island, and the Pacific Ocean won’t want to miss Diamond Head State Monument. While the hike isn’t particularly long, it can be challenging because of the uneven rock on the trail as well as the steep ascent. Those who make it to the top will enjoy the view from the edge of a 300,000-year-old crater.
The hike generally takes between 1.5 and 2 hours to complete round trip. The park closes at 6 pm, and no hikers are allowed to start the trail after 4:30 pm.
Polynesian Cultural Center
Explore the unique history of the Pacific Islands at one of Oahu’s top tourist destinations—The Polynesian Cultural Center (PCC). The PCC features authentic villages highlighting six distinct Polynesian cultures. You’ll learn about the history, art, and traditions from natives of each of these cultures.
Dinner time is a special treat. Experience a traditional luau with delicious food options such as kalua pork, imu pork, braised teriyaki beef, poke, various types of fish, poi, and more. You’ll also get to experience live Polynesian entertainment. Don’t forget to stick around for the evening show, where more than 100 native Polynesian perform.
