I've heard Maui is kinda slow and more for honeymooners/etc, is this mostly true?

I'm going to Oahu(staying near Waikiki in a couple weeks and have a few things planned, anyone have any "must-sees" for me?

How long will you be there?

My main suggestion would be to get out of town and go to Hale'iwa and other spots on the North Shore. Also, going the other way from town is the Pali lookout which has a view that is quite impressive. I think just renting a car and driving around the island is a good strategy for this. If you plan it right and get up early you could see the sun rising from the windward side (not sure as I've never been during that time but I suspect the pali lookout view is nice during sunrise, maybe the sun actually spoils it though) and catch the sunset on the north shore someplace (sunset beach seems appropriate).

While I've never done it, climbing the Stairway to Heaven is something I say I'll do every trip. The view must be amazing as it looks pretty good from the H3 below. Too bad Mrs. L is scared of heights [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

If Reef was back home I'd suggest going with him to his high school as the view from there is second to none IMO.

Also, if you are any sort of history guy or like museums the Bishop Museum is pretty good. That's not usually the kind of thing people want to do there but it's a good museum with a lot of old Hawaiian stuff that you obviously couldn't see in museums elsewhere.
