Famous Malasadas, which is basically warm donuts with filling inside, if you like it that way. My favorite is just the simple no-filling-sugery Malasadas but wow so yummy! A perfect snack after a beach day.

Parks & Nature
A MUST SEE VIEW! Gorgeous at sunset, or any other time of the day! Would only recommend going up there by car. You can either stop along the road like a lot of people do, or choose to drive all the way up to the park. The view is pretty epic from there as well but be aware that you will probably not be alone catching the beautiful sunset.

The best way to start the day and what I recommend to do the first morning you are here on the island. You get a full view over Waikiki and a nice little workout with it too. $1 cash to enter, much easier to catch the bus there because parking is very limited and $5. IF you have a car go early like 7am to get parking or park across the entrance by the "park parking" lot. You can walk from my crib, take the bike or catch the bus easy peacy!
