Tips from the community
Spendy, but kind of a Waikiki classic. The food is good, the drinks are a little light on the alcohol, but are tasty. Plan on blowing some cash here. Lots of people love the breakfast buffet, but for me, it's Duke's on Sunday afternoon, outdoors at the Barefoot Bar, where you can catch the legendary Henry Kapono (from the iconic Hawaiian group, Cecilio and Kapono) most weeks (except when he's touring). The coconut shrimp and Korean steak street tacos were delish and the beach vibe was great. There can be a bit of a haole tourist vibe here though, so if you wanted to avoid that, you may want to take a pass on Duke's. (Locals tip: you can pretty much catch Henry's show free from the beach.)

Top things to do - on Oahu
sunrunnermedia (Steve "Shanghai" Brown) My list of favorite places and things to do when visiting Oahu. While Oahu is more urban and densely populated than the other island, and it is at the bottom of my list for snorkeling, it offers an incredible variety of beaches, hikes, drives, surfing, history, culture, and food. This is the island for those who love great food and an incredible assortment of dining options.Kid-friendly Waikiki

sunrunnermedia (Steve "Shanghai" Brown) At the tail end of pandemic restrictions, we headed to Oahu - forced to use the credit for a trip we had to cancel in 2020 when Hawaii completely shut down tourism. It was worth the wait.
