This way we can spend time in one place with friends instead of just hopping around.

So, what is recommended in HNL for 6 days? We are staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
Good decision. 5 or 6 days is too short a time for island hopping. Pick up a copy of Oahu Revealed from Wizard Pub. http://www.wizardpub.com/oahu/oahaerials.html You'll love it.

Get a car and drive up to the north shore and back through the middle of the island one day. Visit Chinatown & other parts of Honolulu another day. Some people really like the show at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Play on the beach with the family every day!!
