Where to eat?
Honolulu is a diverse and exciting city with multiple cuisines for you to whet your appetite with. Perhaps the ultimate Honolulu experience is excellent food by Waikiki beach. You can get this at Orchids in the Halekulani Hotel. Plenty of fresh and inventive seafood dishes and American classics to try whilst you people watch across the beach. Roast Lobster or Beef Striploin? Yum!

La Mariana
Apparently the food is ‘lacklustre’ but if you want a real taste of old Hawaii, this genuine tiki bar is a must. With no official website, and just customer reviews to go on, the place has an air of mystery for Hawaii newbies but reportedly, the drinks are excellent, the singalongs loud and the atmosphere second to none for tiki kitsch!
