Hey, in 2 weeks my SO and I will be flying to honolulu for a stay at Waikiki beach. I have stayed in Hawaii and Seattle before as a kid, but my SO has not. Right now we have most if the usual stuff planned climb diamond head, snorkel hanauma bay, visit north shore , a luau , Pearl Harbor , and also doing a shark cage tour. Any other ideas for us and does anyone know some good local places to eat?
Once we leave Honolulu we are flying to Seattle for two nights to catch a mariners game, and also check out the space needle , pikes market etc. for those who maybe went for huskies game...what's the best bar in downtown? Any other ideas for the day in downtown?
Appreciate the suggestions

Don't stay in Honolulu

We're not looking for the relaxing side of it...if that were the case we would have gone to a different island...just looking to do some adventures and have fun

Hans hedeman surfing school at Waikiki was pretty cool.

Dont get suckered in to the whale watching trip in seattle. The stuff you mentioned is pretty much all you should do, unless you have time to climb Mount Ranier.

I would skip the fish market in Seattle. HUGE dissappointment

Consider snorkeling in Sharks Cove instead. Usually much less crowded, and when you're done, you're already on the North Shore.
Haleiwa Joe's is a good place. Kind of kitschy and touristy, but it's Oahu. What isn't?
edit- don't forget to hit the nude beach.

You got the North Shore covered, don't hurry it. I would recommend the Dole Plantation, there is a fun maze that you and the girl should check out.
If you're going to be in the Market in Seattle, visit the Alibi Room. It is a little dark but my favorite there. Also ask about the ZigZag, it is in that area but hard to find and good for a drink.
ETA: The food is good at the Alibi and sit at the bar.

That's not a bad agenda for hawaii. The zoo is downtown by your hotel if you guys wanna do that. With land being such a premium thought its kinda lame.
Waikiki beach is always fun. Great scenery.
Ko'olina is also a nice spot up on the west side. It's got gorgeous man made coves to lay on the beach and hang out. Little bars line the walkway to grab a drink and relax
Parking is very limited though

You've got most of it. Visit the Dole Plantation, and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific (think Arlington inside a massive volcanic crater).

Those are some sad looking animals. I've only been because I have kids and we were stationed there. If I was visiting, I'd definitely skip it.
