On this trip we took my mother-in-law to Hawaii for her 70th birthday. It was a lifelong wish of hers to visit the Hawaiian Islands.We have stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village three times since 1995 when we went there for our honeymoon. Every time we go to Hawaii, we include a stay at this resort on our trip and visit another island while we are there.The resort is in my opinion a world first-class and I always enjoy being back at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.The people there are very friendly and there are many shops and restaurants to choose from at the resort. The resort is located on famous Waikiki and is the only resort on Waikiki. The food at their buffet is the best in ...Read More

The breakfast buffet at the Rainbow Lanai is expensive, but worth the money. They have a wide selection of food including fresh fruit and juices as well as the traditional breakfast items and custom made omelettes. The buffet also includes some Japanese breakfast items to please the many Japanese tourists visiting the Hawaiian Islands.

The dinner buffet at the Rainbow Lanai is excellent too.

When visiting Hawaii, walk into a McDonald's and get a Pineapple Pie, a local specialty. No matter where you travel, you'll find local specialties at McDonald's. Also don't forget the SPAM breakfast meal.

Diamond Head State Monument

Attraction | "Diamond Head Crater Hike"

The hike up Diamond Head is for sure something you want to do and you'll have absolutely stunning views of the island of Oahu and the city of Honolulu. Even if you are an inexperienced hiker, it is worth doing the hike, but make sure to do it slowly and take water with you as you WILL need it.

They have a helicopter available to rescue people who get in trouble once they get on top of Diamond Head Crater, which when I made the climb they had to use, because an elderly man suffered a heart attack while reaching the top. BE CAREFUL!!!
