Waikiki‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Beach is one of the best places to go for a nice swim and to soak up the good vibes. In addition to that, Diamond Head can be considered the best place to get a quick and scenic hike. History lovers will have no choice but to be at Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial. The North Shore is the best place to be if you want to watch big waves and have food from food trucks. Hanauma Bay is the place to be if you want to snorkel. Lanikai Beach is the best beach if you are looking for a beautiful and calm turquoise water kind of beach. Kualoa Ranch is best for movie-location tours and outdoor ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌activities.

If you want the real Oahu experience: get a shave ice, pretend you’re in a tropical movie, and pose with a pineapple. Honestly, even just driving along the coastline with your camera out is insta-worthy. Hawaii is basically photogenic by default.
