Hi I’m planning on a future trip to Honolulu for 6-7 days with my boyfriend. Where (i.e. names of the company) can I get affordable surfing lessons, scuba diving lessons w/ rental, snorkeling, atv tour, kayaking, parasailing, and any other fun and awesome suggestions of things to do while I’m there? My friend went last year and she just keeps saying I don’t need to plan b/c when I get there the hotel people can suggest stuff to do. But I’m a planner and I’d feel better knowing I have enough money for everything beforehand rather than just wingin’ it while I’m there and be broke by day 4. I’ve never been before and I’d like to do as much as I can while I’m there. Also I read about the Go Oahu card and the Honolulu Power Pass, if you have any suggestions as to which is better or if they’re a waste of $$, that’d be great advice too! I’ve seen surfing lessons for like $80 but I’ve also heard that there are a lot cheaper lessons there, so some names would be great! Also if there’s stuff that we can do by ourselves that a tour guide is just a waste of money then those would be great suggestions too (we’re pretty open to exploring and I have a pretty good sense of direction so getting lost isn’t really an issue). THANKS I REALLY APPRECIATE THE HELP!

We are planning a wedding next year in Hawaii. Does anyone have any recommendations on which companies are good. Personal experience would be helpful.

Thanks!
