ride the bus as much as possible to save money- the bus goes all over the island super Convenient just make sure to bring $1’s for the bus fare.

do not only stay in waikiki! o’ahu has so much to offer make sure you at least pay a visit to the north shore and check out that area as well.

if you are experiencing rainy weather maybe see if another area of the island is sunnier to avoid the showers.
