Oahu, Hawaii: 7-Day Itinerary (Hotspots & Hidden Gems)

Just spent an unforgettable week exploring Oahu! Here’s my honest take on top sights (food/shopping guide coming next!). 🏝️ Must-Visit Spots 🦕 Hanauma Bay ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Snorkel paradise—go early AM (book online or queue at 6:40 AM). 🦧 Kualoa Ranch ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Movie Tour (bus ride through Jurassic Park scenes)—book ahead! 🌳 Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Drive-through jungle with insta-worthy lakes (closes 4 PM). 🍍 Dole Plantation ⭐️⭐️ Skip unless: You want pineapple Hello Kitty or Dole Whip. 🌺 Kahala Beach ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jennie’s photoshoot spot—powdery sand + Tiffany-blue waters. 🏝️ Lanikai Beach ⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Jellyfish water" + pillbox hike views (parking nightmare). 🌊 Makapu’u Point ⭐️⭐️ Coastal hike to a lighthouse (windy but scenic). 💦 Manoa Falls ⭐️⭐️ *2-hour rainforest trek* (free parking, movie-worthy waterfall). ⚓ Historic/Cultural 🚢 Pearl Harbor (USS Missouri) ⭐️ Surrender deck history—but $10 bag check + early closure. ⛩️ Byodo-In Temple ⭐️ Tiny $5 temple (good for 10-min photos). 🛖 Polynesian Cultural Center ⭐️⭐️ Disney-esque villages—buffet + fire show = best combo. 🐢 Laniakea Beach ⭐️ Free turtle sightings (hit/miss). 🎨 Offbeat Picks 🖼️ Honolulu Museum of Art ⭐️⭐️ Chinese/Mediterranean gardens + Hawaiian artifacts. 🚣 Kahala State Park Kayak ⭐️ Paddle to secluded beaches (pack a picnic!). 🌴 Kapalaoa Beach ⭐️ "Crooked palm tree"—windy & overrated. 🛟 Turtle Snorkeling Tour ⭐️ *2-hour boat trip* (gear provided)—waves can be rough. #Hawaii #Oahu #TravelGuide #IslandLife
