Hey /trv/,
I will be traveling to Honolulu in September for a week with friends.
Will be staying solely in Oahu.
What are the must see places?
What should I avoid?
Where can I surf and rent boards, I'm a beginner.
Already have accommodation, what are good spots to eat, drink that don't cost my left kidney?
Thank you in advance

Go to North Shore, do a bunch of hikes, check out other beaches besides Waikiki, check out the Battleship and USS Arizona memorial, etc. There's a million places in Waikiki that offer surf lessons and board rentals. I would start there because south shore has good beginner waves. Avoid dumb tourist traps like the Dole Plantation and sketchy parts of town like Kalihi and Wainae. If you want cheaper food eat anywhere that's not in Waikiki. Chinatown has some decent bars that don't have Waikiki prices.
Visit Chinatown for awesome, cheap food and a cool experience. You can find authentic Pho and Chinese food, plus all kinds of fucked up fruits and veggies at the markets.
Do as much hiking as you possibly can.
Diamond Head Hike,Hanauma Bay & Lanikai Beach on the eastern shore are all must sees.As is Pearl Harbour and the North Shore.
If you're staying in Waikiki go check out the world's smallest stripclub Hawaii By Night. Otherwise Waikiki is uniformly expensive even the grocery stores are steep. But it all feels very safe although Hawaii has a lot of bums and i don't mean beach bums but actually homeless scum begging on every corner in Waikiki.
