Question: Can you help with ideas on what to do in oahu with wife?

Answer #1:

Contact the ITR (Information, Tickets and Reservations) office on your post. They should be able to give you information on things to do. Click Here
Each branch of the military has their own type of office that handles discount tickets. You can do many things in Waikiki and not need a rental car. If you do decide to venture outside of Waikiki with a rental car, be careful not to leave any valuables in the car. Thieves know where the tourists go and break into rental cars all the time.

Places to go:
Diamond Head has a nice trail to hike
Hanauma Bay for snorkeling
Waimea Bay just to see the ocean (can be very dangerous)
Punchbowl cemetery
Arizona Memorial (go early, tickets given out quickly)
Sea Life Park
Honolulu Aquarium
Atlantis Submarines
Pearl Harbor
Dinner Cruise
Polynesian Cultural Center and you can drive over the H3 (beautiful views on a clear day)
Haleiwa Town
Aloha Stadium Flea Market
International Market Place-if you want something from here, be sure to negotiate. All the vendors have the same stuff-(you can find cheaper stuff at the flea market)
Dole Pineapple Plantation

Answer #2:

You have some good suggestions already but if you don't mind, I'd like to suggest slowing down a bit and just enjoying the time with your wife. Vacations in Hawaii can be jam-packed with things to do...and often the visitors go home feeling exhausted! A lot of people don't take the time to just enjoy the scenery and relax and be together. In addition to SOME of the things the other poster mentioned, spend some time taking in a sunset, sitting on the beach, and maybe having a drink at the Mai Tai Bar at the Royal Hawaiian (my favorite) or someplace like that. Oh, and Fort deRussy Beach Park is right in front of the Hale Koa. It's a pretty beach with calm water and tends to not be as crowded as Waikiki Beach.

Have a wonderful time and enjoy the time with your wife! Aloha ~

Answer #3:

We took a tour of the island. It was great. The guide gave you so much information about everything that just driving through yourself you wouldn't know. He gave a lot of info on history, where movies were filmed, loved the pineapple farm, just so much to tell. It is well worth it. We went about 8 years ago. I am thinking we paid only like $30 a person. We had the best time.
