Oahu Activities for Solo Travelers
Get Social
The streets of downtown Honolulu and Waikiki offer places for exploration and socialization around every corner. Downtown Honolulu offers all the shopping and dining amenities you would expect in a big city. It is also home to a vibrant China Town, where you can wander shops and restaurants and have a glimpse into Hawaii’s melting pot of cultures that extends back to when workers came from other countries to work on the sugar plantations. In addition to shopping and dining, Honolulu and Waikiki are where you will find the most vibrant nightlife scene on the island. Continue enjoying the tropical outdoors at Buho Cantina, a popular rooftop restaurant, and bar overlooking the streets of Waikiki with a chic lounging area. Find a dance partner and move to the DJ’s music at Bar 35 or live music at Gordon Biersch Brewery, or relax with a cocktail at the classy Lewers Lounge. There is no shortage of options on venues for grabbing a drink and hitting the social scene on Oahu!
Connect with Nature
Take advantage of some time alone to connect with nature. Home to majestic waterfalls, rugged trails, and extensive beaches, there really is no better place to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. If you’re exploring solo and don’t want to go too far off the beaten path for safety reasons, many of Oahu’s most popular natural attractions are sure to have other travelers present. Take the challenging but doable ascent up Diamond Head, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the sea and Waikiki. View one of the island’s most breathtaking waterfalls when you hike 1.6 miles through lush rainforest to reach the 150-foot Manoa Falls. Or, simply select the beach of your choice and stake your claim in the sand for an afternoon of listening to the rhythmic sound of the waves.
