TOP 25 THINGS TO DO IN OAHU (We live here and done it all) 

We hope you enjoy these ideas for things to do on Oahu! If you are looking for alternative things to do, our favorite beaches or the best hikes on the island, check out our blog: dennyandnikki.com

Just a note to all the people saying you are coming to visit. Please please please be respectful. Hawaii is a beautiful place but it is NOT your playground. This is home for a lot of amazing animals, plant life, and people and it is not cool to be disruptive or rude in the name of getting a photo or saying you've "done something." Give the animals space, you don't need to touch them to have an incredible experience. Also know, that while there are so many beautiful things to see here, like anyplace, Hawaii isn't perfect. There are areas and times of day that are not safe. Do your research before doing an acitvity. Educate yourself on the culture and history before you come here. Please do not perpetuate ignorance. Leave things better than you found them. Be kind. Enjoy your stay :)

The 1 thing that these lists always leave out is to enjoy the beauty but respect the history of the land and the people. Its your vacation but our home. Clean up after yourself, show aloha, and enjoy yourselves 🤙

U guys showed places other tour companies and utubers never shone. Born and raised here never knew about some of these places u showed. Awesome thank you. 👍👍👍

What a calming and tranquil voice you have. Those spots looks amazing

It has been 15 years since I lived on Oahu, so thank you for sharing these as I start planning my next trip back home!

I grew up in Waikiki and Aiea. I go back almost every year and watch your videos to remind myself that I haven’t missed anything. Thanks for all your videos and advice! I’ll be there in 3 weeks!

This was a fantastically thorough video. Thanks you! Just what I was looking for

Your videos are fun to watch but please be more responsible with your recommendations. Living here for a year doesn’t give you an accurate account of what locals know and see year after year of how dangerous some of these spots can be. Time it wrong with china walls, and you can fatally get slammed against these rocks. Same with mermaid caves, time it wrong with the tide and how fast it can come up, you can drown. Information like this is exactly why tourists come here, who don’t know better are injured or die at these and other spots. Just because it’s beautiful, doesn’t make it safe. Give warning when warnings are due.

your voices are so relaxing! Thank you so much for this video!

Enjoyed your vblogs! I love how she described with enthusiasm. Hope you guys stay forever. Appreciate recommendations, keep them coming.

My partner and I are moving to Oahu this July as teachers and your videos are getting us so excited for this new adventure in our life. Thank you!

This is my last day in Oahu and as a first time visitor I want to thank you so much for these videos. Traveling so far away (from North Carolina) took me way out of my comfort zone but your videos helped me planned and kept me excited more than nervous. It also helped me understand the island and where to go. Thank you so much!!

Wow i love the way she narrates this vlog. I feel like she is reading me a fairytale books ♥️ Thanks guys for sharing!

Ah this was so great! We’re looking at spending a few months in Hawaii and this just helped us heaps! You guys have great vibes. Thanks for your help 🙏🏼

This is so helpful I hardly saw any of these on travel guides. Thank you!

Great video from a wonderful couple. Thank you both!

Love the out take behind the scenes. One of a kind presentation 👍🏽

Y’all crack me up at the end. Thanks for the recommendations.

Great guide on some lesser known spots and good explanations on why you guys like them. Keep it up!

I loved it. I can't wait to visit some of your suggestions .

Best video I've found on this topic. Great job and thank you!

Will definitely use these recommendations for our family trip to Oahu. We love botanical gardens, hiking and my husband will definitely love that big steak at that beautiful restaurant. What a lovely couple🤗💕

New sub here and can I just say, Nikki your voice is BUTTA!!! So soothing. Thank you for this beautiful list. Saving this video as my ultimate Oahu list. 💕

Best video I have seen yet. Very informative and interesting. Thanks 🙏

Thank you for all the advice..

Beautiful 😍 definitely not hiking anywhere but the other things to do is definitely on my list 🙏🏽

Going next month and this helped so much for planning what to do while I’m there! Thank you!!

Found your channel a week ago and I’ve been binge watching your videos! Love all your content ☺️🌸 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

as someone who lives in Hawaii, your tips were spot on! I really enjoyed your video

You guys did a great job, good pronunciations & nice picks

This is so helpful, thank you for sharing!!!

I’ve been on a Hawaii RU-vid kick and this is one of my favorite videos so far, thank you! 🥰

wow you guys are fantastic. going on the 23, and you guys talked about almost all new things nobody else has talked about! my notes app on my phone is packed! thank you sooo much. :)

Thank you for the info! Looking forward to more amazing content :)

Thanks for this great list! We're going next year and will have very little time, so this is super helpful.

Great video!Will be there in a few weeks. Looking fwd to doing most of these

Great "to do" list! My bucket list just got longer! Good job guys!

Thank you for mentioning #20. So important for people to know Hawaiis History. Waiting to see a Surf Contest again with #12, and can't argue with #1. We have a taste of the Maldives and Bora Bora right there in Kaneohe! Great list!🤙

You guys are the cutest. Live here and you have done it justice!!! Great job and hope to meet you :)

I lived here in 3 years and done maybe less than 10 of things on your list 😂 I really should appreciate and adventure this island more. Mahalo for the awesome video 🌺

Thanks for sharing your favorite places in the island. Hope to visit them soon

Excellent video guys! Went to Oahu in 2019 ! Can’t wait to get back! All the way from UK👍

Thank you, this is the best Oahu content on YT!

Awsome! We are after Oahu trip too. Amazing place!

Wow great video! I live here 10 years, didnt know much like you do!!

We lived in Hawaii 51 years ago. Married there during Vietnam War days we were blessed to live there 2 years. We have been back several times. You guys are great with the editing and music and every part. Thank you for bringing us a little part of paradise. We lived in Kailua. God bless. ......me and the lizards did not get along. Lol.

I am samoan but im lucky to have family in Oahu and I see them every year and I can't wait to see them! Sure to do some of these out there with them.

Awesome video! ♥️Į love Oahu,Honolulu♥️

Great video with great recommendations, thank you so much.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It inspired my itinerary in Oahu. Also, when you go to the Waiole Poi Factory, make sure to ask for the "Sweet Lady." If you just ask for haupia ice cream, they will just give you plain ice cream...

Great to the point and funny

awesome video, just left Honolulu mostly diving, bookmarked for next trip!

Loved all the tips, you guys did great! lol your bloopers remind me of when I record with my friends, it just makes the video creating process that much more fun! 😂 got yourself a new sub ✅

That's a really good list!

Great review y’all! Some of the views were amazing.

Wow you guys just made me so excited to be here for the next 3 years😊Mahalo🌺

Great View

We’ve been dying to get to Oahu!! Those mermaid caves- Can’t even deal- wow!! 🤩

Another great video! Hope to be there soon!

This is a great video. I've been there several times. I would recommend going on a guided tour at Hawaii's Plantation Village, hiking at Waimea Valley, watching the Magic of Polynesia Show in Waikiki, and eating at Gyotaku Japanese Restaurant and at Cinnamon's at the Ilikai.

denny’s bloopers were the best!!🙈🙈

Wow, thank you for a great video!

My gf and I are going there next month. Thank you so much for this. We’re gonna try to do 13 out of the 25 of your recommendations.

Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing.

Thx from Montreal.....you’re AWESOME!

I have to say this video is the perfect complete guide where to go in Oahu!!! Thank you !!

Kuhio Park Terrace is a must see! #1 on top places to visit on Oahu.

Wonderful videos guys!!!!!

This video is getting me emotional 🥹❤️

Ya'll are so cute! Thank you for this great video! You have mentioned alot of things I have not seen anywhere else on You Tube :)

Dope. Thanks for my itinerary!

Amazing Tips. Thx.

love!!!!! yes! I can't wait to come!!! ;)

#24 wow very impressive

I love the video! Thank you for all the info. I plan to spend at least a few months with my newly wedded wife in Hawaii this winter.

Subbed, we are going to Kauai in 3 weeks for 8 days then going to Oahu for 6 days. Can't wait to see your Kauai videos

I wish the algorithm showed this to me last week. I just came back from Hawaii yesterday. Still fun, but a lot of things on this list I didn't know about.

Love this vid!!! What brand is your leather backpack? I’m in love with it!

You should remove China Walls from the list. I rescue nearly 3 dozen people a week there. Multiple people a year die there from drowning. This is not a tourist attraction that should be advertised. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T GO THERE ON A REGULAR BASIS AND KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

Y’all are too cute!!! Great video!!! 🤙🏿

I don’t usually enjoy videos like these ‘cause people often brutalize Hawaiian words, which I think is odd ‘cause Hawaiian and Spanish pronounce their vowels the same way...but anyway, LOL...another reason is a lot of people aren’t very respectful of our rules/traditions...and others give horrible and/or dangerous advice. But y’all did a wonderful job at all three of these points, and besides a few words, you both did really well and I particularly appreciated your use of the okina. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 😎 I was born and raised here and have lived here 44 of my 48 years, with those 4 years being spent in LA, Fresno, and then Oakland for graduate school. My family’s also been here since 1868, 3 years after our Civil War, so respecting the Native Hawaiian language and culture is really important to me, and it’s so wonderful to see how respectful you two are, and not just this video, I watched your Olomana and Kuli’ouou videos since they’re my #1 and #2 fav hikes, respectively. I know some people hear rumors that we hate all mainlanders, but that’s not true at all...whenever my friends have told me they want to move here, I just tell them, “be very considerate of others, and you’ll fit in perfectly”...and many of them have been here for over a decade and some stay here specifically for their kids ‘cause they feel safer here. Anyway, I’m glad y’all are enjoying your time here, and I love that you’re both exhibiting and spreading the Aloha Spirit! PS - Since I love that you’re an interracial couple since they’re very common here, here are some interesting stats about our country. Only 2.8% of America is mixed race...with only Alaska 8.2% and Oklahoma 6.5% being above 5.0%. Even California, which many consider to be a very diverse state, isn’t close to 5.0%...having lived in Northern, Central, and Southern CA, what I saw were a lot of different demographics living w/in the same state borders, but still keeping to their own people...like Chinatown, Koreatown, Latino communities, etc. Which is why only 4.0% of CA is mixed race. But here? A whopping 24.2% of people here are mixed...or, as well colloquially call them...”Hapa”, which is the Hawaiian word for “half”, though it’s colloquially used to describe anyone with 2+ different races. While parents of mixed race kids on the mainland have to worry about them fitting in, or being bullied...in Hawai’i, the vast majority of people will tell you they being hapa, or mixed race, is desirable. I actually did a poll on my Facebook, which is comprised of family and friends (I know all of them personally) and I limited it to people currently living in Hawai’i...and 83% of them see being hapa as something to be proud of. Anyway, you can go onto the Census website and confirm my numbers. 😁 Hope you both have a wondrous weekend! Love and aloha from Kaimuki! 😁🤙🏽❤️☀️
