Snorkel hanauma bay (you do need to get there early as parking fills up fast)
Kualoa Ranch has horse back and atv riding
Polynesian Cultural Center
Pearl Harbor (not sure if the Mighty Mo Battleship is still there)
Get some 100% Kona Coffee😊
Sit on the beach and just relax
Eat some Poke
Saturday open Market at Kapiolani Community College
Walk around Chinatown (although that might be the same everywhere) lol
Eat a spam musubi
That's about all I can think of for now other than eating😀

Great list. Thanks!

Some distant relatives of ours own Kualoa Ranch - we're definitely going to ride ATV's and check out the movie scenery (Jurassic Park, Lost, etc.). We've also been told that the snorkeling right off the beach there is terrific.

Definitely going to follow this thread - great suggestions!

No way! That is fantastic!!! I hadn't realized that Kualoa Ranch is where Jurassic Park was filmed. That's great! My son has watched all of the Jurassic movies in the past couple of months and he's going to be thrilled.

Add another one to the list....

I will just add that skydiving there can be spectacular. Jump out of a plane at 15k feet right along the beach -- oh what a view. Easy to find a place to do a tandem jump if you're uninitiated.

Thanks for this and all of your other suggestions! We definitely don't want to "Disney" up the trip too much, but a few cheesy activities will be indulged for the kiddos.

Rent a bike downtown and ride around the island. It's around a century, rode it a few years back so don't recall the exact mileage.

If you are buying whole bean coffee, get the peaberry.
