During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Honolulu Sailing Co
This company has been in business for 2 decades, offering a variety of sailing activities. Our favorite is the Diamond Head snorkel-picnic sail on the waves. During whale season (roughly Dec-Apr), check out the half- and full-day adventures to see whales, dolphins, flyingfish,
Waikiki Aquarium
Do not miss this! Half of Hawaii is its underwater world; plan to spend at least 2 hours discovering it. Behold the chambered nautilus, nature's submarine and inspiration for Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. You may see this tropical spiral-shelled cephalopod mollusk -- the only living one born in captivity -- any day of the week here. Its natural habitat is the deep waters of Micronesia, but aquarium director Bruce Carlson not only succeeded in trapping the pearly shell in 1,500 feet of water (by dangling chunks of raw tuna), but also managed to breed this ancient relative of the octopus. There are also plenty of other fish in this small but first-class aquarium, located on a live coral reef. The Hawaiian reef habitat features sharks, eels, a touch tank, and habitats for the endangered Hawaiian monk seal and green sea turtle. Recently added: a rotating biodiversity exhibit and interactive displays focusing on corals and coral reefs.
Sea Life Park
This 62-acre ocean theme park, located in East Oahu, is one of the island's top attractions. It features whales from Puget Sound, Atlantic bottle-nosed dolphins, California sea lions, and penguins going through their hoops to the delight of kids of all ages. If you have kids, allow all day to take in the sights. There's also a Hawaiian reef tank full of tropical fish; a "touch" pool, where you can touch a real sea cucumber (commonly found in tide pools); and a bird sanctuary, where you can see birds like the red-footed booby and the frigate bird. The chief curiosity, though, is the world's only "wholphin" -- a cross between a false killer whale and an Atlantic bottle-nosed dolphin. On-site, marine biologists operate a recovery center for endangered marine life; during your visit, you'll be able to see rehabilitated Hawaiian monk seals and seabirds.

This elegant boutique hotel, tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined side street, offers a different experience in elegant surroundings (the lobby is filled with European marble and chandeliers). The plush guest rooms feature pantry kitchenettes, marble bathrooms, lanais, lots of closet space, and views.

Manoa Valley Inn
It's completely off the tourist trail and far from the beach, but that doesn't stop travelers from heading to this historic 1915 Carpenter Gothic home, on a quiet residential street near the University of Hawaii. This eight-room Manoa landmark -- it's on the National Register of Historic Places -- offers a glimpse into the lifestyles of the rich and famous of early Honolulu.Those who find resorts impersonal will find the eclectically furnished inn refreshing. Each room has its own unique decor, and each has been named for a prominent figure in Hawaii's history. The John Guild Suite, for instance, has a turn-of-the-20th-century parlor with antiques and old-fashioned rose wallpaper; the adjoining bedroom contains a king-size koa bed, while the bathroom features an old-style tub as well as a separate modern shower. The three top-floor rooms share a full bathroom; the others have private bathrooms. A genteel ambience pervades the entire place. Guests regularly gather in the parlor to listen to the Victrola or play the nickelodeon. There's also a billiards room with an antique billiards table, a piano in the living room, and croquet set up in the backyard.
