Honolulu- Lazy Person’s 5-Day 4-Night Oahu Road Trip Guide 🚗🌴

Day 1: Rest and adjust to jet lag. Stroll around Waikiki. 🛍️😴 Day 2: Visit Pearl Harbor (allow 3 hours). It’s about an hour’s drive from Waikiki—recommend taking a taxi. 🚕✈️ Day 3: Rent a car and drive around the east coast. Follow this route with these stops: 📍 Kahala Beach – Jenny’s same beach vibe 🏖️ 📍 Hanauma Bay 🐠 📍 Lana’I Lookout 🌊 📍 Makapu'u Point 📸 📍 Kailua Town – Have lunch here. The pho is amazing! 🍜🇺🇸 Town prices are much better than Waikiki. 📍 Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden – The entrance is the prettiest part. Note: No stopping for photos! 🚷🌳 Catch the sunset back at Waikiki. 🌅 Day 4: North Shore road trip: 📍 Haleiwa Town – Grab super cute Haleiwa Girl merch 🛍️👙. You can also book shark diving online in advance. 🦈 📍 Laniakea Beach – Look for the crowds—that’s where the turtles sunbathe! Best before 4 PM. 🐢☀️ 🏨 Hotel: Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk Less than 2 km from Waikiki, quieter area. Perfect for 3 girls—we got a 2-bedroom suite with 3 beds! 🛌👭 🚗 Car & Parking: Free parking? Hotel charges $50/day 💸 Free parking available between Waikiki Aquarium and Honolulu Zoo: Free from 6 PM – 10 AM Daytime: 4-hour limit, only $0.5/hour! 🅿️👍 🍴 Food: Ate poke and garlic butter shrimp every day 🍤🐟—got a little tired eventually and switched to Western food. Waikiki Market’s poke is pretty good—ahi tuna is the best, salmon is just okay. 🥗👌 #Hawaii #Oahu #Honolulu #BeachVacation 🌺🌊
