Honolulu is the definition of paradise. Amazing beaches, sunny weather year-round, and so much more. Here are the best things to do in Honolulu.

Once friends and family hear you’ve moved to Honolulu, everyone wants to come visit. Who wouldn’t want to spend a week in paradise, even if it means couch-surfing for a few days? The difficult part of their visit is showing guests around, as many of us locals have forgotten what makes Honolulu special and distinct from the other islands. Here’s a quick list of things to do, so that any guests to the islands can see why we’ve moved so far away to the middle of the Pacific. Many are free or cheap experiences, and we’ve noted prices ranges along with the picks so you can make the best decision possible. Work and life might have just made you forget our island's natural beauty, but these activities should jog your memory.
