My favorite Thai restaurant in Honolulu. Mike's fish is a favorite, Pad Seow, Panag Curry, Evil Shrimp as well. Small, family run business by owner Angel who is at that restaurant 7 days a week. She has a great chef who really knows flavors and spices. This is a must dine place for me for every Honolulu visit.

Great snorkeling, shallow water so you don't have to be a strong swimmer, intense sun in the bay makes sunscreen a must. For parking, arrive before 9 a.m.

This is one of my favorite hikes. No hiking shoes needed as the trail up to the light house is paved. Take your sunscreen as there's always sun there. I've never had an issue with parking, always plentiful. Amazing view and an easy hike, anyone can do and its free!
