Currently in Honolulu. Going to Pearl Harbor tomorrow (today by the time most of you probably read this). Have tickets for the Arizona program and the Ford Island bus tour. Arizona is at 1:45, Ford Island at 3:15. Look like there are a few other museums nearby, but I can't figure out what's worth a visit. Any tips on other museums or things we could check out before? Any suggestions for lunch or an early dinner after our tours?

I'm no help for the city but If you have time, head up north to do a swim/snorkel with the sharks off Haleiwa. They had 10 different tigers show up yesterday.

Uber over to Chinatown, find a restaurant, walk around. Go visit Waikiki Beach so you can remember never to visit Oahu again if beaches are your thing.

Go eat chicken and waffles at FortyNiner. You can Uber there easily from Pearl.

There are amazing beaches on Oahu. North Shore stands out. Waikiki is it's own monster.

I'm sure there are. But given the travel distance and prices, I'll take a week in San Juan any time over a week in Honolulu. Better pork, better accommodations, and better beaches.

Pacific National Cemetery is a must.

We really enjoyed the swim with the dolphins excursion we went on - it was somewhere on the west side of the island. Skydive out of Dillingham Airfield. There is always Diamondhead as well, we took a dinner cruise on a catamaran one evening and it was solid. Food was meh, but the views were fantastic. Helo rides are always good.

Food is going to be hit and miss, lots of toursist traps. Duke's Waikiki makes a good burger, seems like many places come and go there which is to be expected.
