Have fun with freebies
\n<\/strong>On Friday nights Hilton Hawaiian Village<\/a> in Waikiki produces a free fireworks show.

\"Diamond<\/a><\/p>\n

Make the trek up Diamond Head<\/strong>
\nProbably the most popular attraction on Oahu. You\u2019ll be rewarded with\u00a0awe-inspiring views of southern Oahu. You should go for the introductory\u00a0narrated self-guided tour<\/a>; it\u2019s like having your own private park ranger accompany you.<\/p>\n

Go north
\n<\/strong>We\u00a0always\u00a0rent a car for the day<\/a> and head to the North Shore to see the big waves\u00a0and major surfing competitions. Make sure you stop for a treat at Matsumoto\u2019s Shave Ice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss the North Shore Soap Factory<\/a>. This gem, in the old Waialua sugar mill, offers lush, made-in-Hawaii soaps, scrubs, skincare, candles and more, all affordably priced. I especially like the mango and the chocolate-mint soaps.<\/p>\n
