Reach deep into your pockets when you golf at Kapalua. Especially being a tourist, they charge way more than they do the locals, or kamaaina, as they are called. And the kamaaina rate is ridiculous as far as I’m concerned. Are you retired military, by any chance? That’s another option, if you are.
On your trip to Hana. Plan on 4 to 5 hours travel time. It’s a very treacherous road to navigate and most rental car places won’t rent to you if they are aware you are planning a trip to Hana. Don’t go under any conditions if they have had or are having heavy rain. Just not worth the dangers.
Pearl Harbor. Don’t pay for a tour there. It is totally free and of course, the tour comupanies want all the money they can get. Definitely worth doing. Very humbling experience, just do it on your own if you can. 877-444-6777. This number will give you all the info plus tell you how to get your own tickets.
Everything else you have planned sounds really good. The only other suggestion I would have is to try snorkeling on an island other than Oahu. Oahu is SO crowded and they charge you every little penny they can. I know Haunama Bay is the most popular place on Oahu and their pricing is hefty. Maybe you can even find a good spot on your own where it’s not dangerous
We moved here from Oahu, just in case you were wondering what heck makes me an authority! Just kidding, but we did move here from there. If there is anything else we can help you with or you have any questions, we’d be more than happy to help 808-330-3364. Jane
