I'm kidnapping my boyfriend and taking him to Honolulu for Valentine's Day. He's never been there before and has no idea we are going. We arrive Wednesday February 13 at 5:30 pm and depart Sunday February 17 at about 6:30 pm. So, we have 4 days to fill with siteseeing. Musts include Pearl Harbor (1/2 day) and hiking Diamond Head (1/2 day). Any suggestions for the other days? Perhaps a Circle Island Tour by limousine?

Drive the H3 over the Koolau's, leave civilization and emerge from the tunnels into land of 'Lost' - waterfalls, incredible lush mountainsides, head for Kaneohe, then south to Kailua and follow the coast road around the eastern tip back to Waikiki.

Or head north from Kaneohe, hit the shrimp trucks, cruise the north shore, stop at the best looking beach... I'd rent a car - easy to drive - do the Pali Highway, all kinds of great drives on Oahu... once you get out of Waikiki.

Since he's 'such a tourist,' does he like shopping too? Besides Kalakaua Avenue shopping, don't miss Ala Moana Mall - one of my favorite places on earth The food court there is great, but for better food, check out Mariposa in Neiman Marcus (nice views over the harbor) or Alan Wong's Pineapple Grill in Macy's (nice views over the parking lot... or it might be construction now with the new Nordstrom coming in...) Anyway, still great food & a wonderful lunch... and amazing stores!!

And for fun, take a surfing lesson together!!

Drinks at sunset at either the Hau Tree lanai or the House without a Key would be (and frequently are ) high on my list.

Rent some kayaks (or get a double), and kayak out to Flat Island (aka Popoia) and walk around out there.

Get up early (while you are still on your original time zone) and go to Hanauma Bay. Then drive the scenic way to Waimanalo and stop at the overlooks and try to spot whales. Maybe hike out to Mokapu lighthouse

Hurry up and try to get a dinner reservation for V-day if you haven't already, as the best restaurants fill up fast!

Enjoy!
