A single glance from your plane’s window, as it prepares to land in Hawaii, is enough to make you fall in love with this US state. Encased amidst emerald-blue oceans, the Islands of Hawaii will
certainly etch some indelible memories in your heart. Check out some of the must-have experiences for a holiday in Hawaii.
Snorkelling at Hanauma Bay
Reserve at least a day for snorkelling at Hanauma Bay, an environmental reserve situated on
Oahu’s south-eastern coastline. While you need to buy tickets for snorkelling here, there is no fee for kids under three. You can hire snorkelling equipment at Hanauma Bay.
Enjoy a Road Trip
Go for a road-trip to the Windward Coast, situated on the Kalanianaole Highway, to see Koko Head, a dormant but remarkable-looking volcano. Drive further down the same road to the Lanikai Beach and take a break to relax here. This beach has been labelled as Hawaii’s best by the Travel Channel.
Eat to Your Heart’s Content
The local cuisine is one of the best aspects of Hawaii. In fact, food is an intrinsic element of Hawaiian culture. Dining at Duke’s Waikiki is a must for anyone visiting Waikki Beach. Named after the celebrity surfer Duke Kahanamoku, the restaurant offers a plethora of famous native delicacies such as huli-huli chicken, kalua pork, fresh poke, and much more.
If you plan to check out the tourist attractions of Oahu’s North-Shore, make sure that you drop by Giovanni’s Shrimp Truck, located outside Laie —their shrimp scampi is brilliant.
