What are the "must see" attractions around Honolulu?

[dnb]

I have a few days in Honolulu surrounding a business trip. Is there anything I really ought to see? Currently thinking that lounging on the beach would be good for a day, then some kind of Pearl Harbour tour. This still leaves a day to find something to do... Any ideas?

Snorkelling at Hanauma Bay is good, though you have to get there early as the car park is small and they close off the access road when it's filled - you can get a bus there though.
Walking the trail to Manoa Falls is good too, though quite humid - Barack Obama's favourite walk allegedly.

I'd recommend Roy's restaurant on Wakiki Beach for a meal.

Pearl Harbour is excellent, though make sure you take your passport/I.D. - I didn't and got turned away, and had to go back the next day instead!

You could take a walk up diamond head for a great view of Honolulu. Doesn't take too long and the view is well worth it.

Roy's restaurant is a great suggestion!!

Yep, Snorkelling at Hanauma Bay - hop on the bus, and the Pearl harbour museum is well worth a visit.
If you find yourself on the Big Island at all, then the Volcano National park is a must plus a helicopter flight over the active vent on Mauna Loa.

Thanks all. I've looked up Roy's and will be going.
Unfortunately I won't have time to get to the big island this time, but will be doing as much as I can in Honolulu.

For me it has to be Pearl Harbour. Interesting and very moving.
