Experiences

Likeke Falls
It's one of the shorter hikes you can do in the zone. The falls come to life when there's more local rain forecasted.

Spitting Cave
This is another great place for pictures. You just don't want to stand too close to the cliff because they can become slippery if there are waves of size present. If you're lucky, the local cliff divers will be around making for a spectacular show.

Tracks Beach Park
The best sunsets are always on Oahu because of where the sun sets on the horizon and also that mix of dry air and ridgeline humidity. The combo makes this incredibly painting-like sunset almost nightly.

Eats & Drinks

Paradise Cove Luau
No Hawaii vacation is complete without going to a Luau. Paradise Cove is the ONLY one on Oahu worth visiting. People bus in from all over the island to attend this. Book waaaaaay in advance. These sell out nightly.

La Mariana Sailing Club
It's nothing fancy, but this tiki-style restaurant on the harbor brings a low-light dining experience thats nothing but romantic. Get a spot on the deck and also I recommend their fish sandwich.

Stays

Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina
All the stays at the 5 bays in Ko Olina are incredible, but when it comes to dining the 4 Seasons steals the show. If you really want to catch a vibe, don't stay in Waikiki. Stay in Ko Olina. There are fewer people, less tourism, and more beauty. Also cleaner water....

The Ritz-Carlton O‘ahu, Turtle Bay
Looking for something a little more country? Turtle Bay offers a little more of that local country vibe. In the winter, its surrounding beaches offer majestic views of some of the most radical ocean sports activity in the world. And in the summer, it can offer perfect little waves for those who want to take a chance at surfing. You can also go hiking, horseback riding, scuba-diving. Turtle Bay is great for the active couple who wants to be on the go.
