Tours: Fairwind Kealakekua Bay snorkeling. This was very fun and we were able to snorkel near the Cpt James Cook memorial site. The crew was very nice and even taught us about marine life. We would recommend this tour to others.

Pearl Harbor-This was interesting to see, and it is a free tour. We would recommend this.

Starlet sunset dinner cruise- The boat was nice, clean, wait staff was very friendly, also good entertainment. Food was ok, served chicken, steak, and shrimp with ice cream for desert. Would recommend this to others.

Dolphin Quest-Able to swim and interact with the Dolphins for 30 minutes. Would recommend this to others.

Did you explore any of the area on your own?: We would recommend renting a car and sight seeing on your own. It is nice not to have to wait for a bus, and the Oahu is very easy to navigate around. We explored diamond head in Oahu, and the surrounding area.

What is one thing that everyone traveling to this area should do or see?: Pearl Harbor. It is interesting to see the memorial and the museum which are at the actual site of the attack at Pear Harbor. Also, we had the most fun navigating around the island in our own car. There are so many fun things to do in Oahu at night, and so many beautiful areas around the island.

Trip Overall:  4.5 The big island was more desolate than Oahu, which is a totally different environment. There were more activities on Oahu. We had a great time on our honeymoon, and would recommend Hawaii to others. Jenni was also very helpful to us during our planning process. She was very honest and helped us pick activities that fit our personalities. :)
