Can anyone recommend a company that I can go on a nature hike, snorkelling, or mountain bike tour with in Oahu? Cheap would be nice, but don't want to be taken. Probably won't be making any trips to the other islands, though I would like to visit the volcanos on the Big Island.
Also any suggestions for night life, dim sum, or other authentic Chinese food in downtown Honolulu or the Wakiki area?
And any other "must do" attractions that I should be aware of?
Thanks!
Definitely dropping by UH for a pair of shorts and a shot glass. ;D

If you're interested in hiking, go here: www.hawaiitrails.org/If you're interested in snorkelling, go here: www.snorkelbob.com/Night Life? I wouldn't know, really... lots of places, lots of options. Chinese food? I wouldn't know... Panda Express is my fav. Must do attractions? Diamond Head hike UH Men's volleyball uhathletics.hawaii.edu/Snorkelling @ Hanauma Bay is fun Big Waves on the North Shore are awesome if there is a swell.

Thanks IdahoBoy! ;D
Question, are all the hiking trails accessible by public bus, or would I be better off renting a car for the few days?

I think you'd be better off renting a car.

Thanks Idaho Boy®! ;D Question, are all the hiking trails accessible by public bus, or would I be better off renting a car for the few days? If you rented a car, you'd have a lot more freedom getting around the island! Just stay off the interstates at these times to avoid rush-hour hell: 6:30-8:45 am 3-6:30 pm While driving in Hawaii, remember this, drive with Aloha! A wave will do wonders for changing lanes, etc. Oh, and I find that Alamo has the best rates (but sometimes the longest lines to get a car). If you're on a budget, head to Alamo.com and reserve it, if you're not as worried about it, there are plenty other places to rent from. I have seen nature hiking buses all over, but they can't take you on a lot of these trails on that website. Oh, another plus of getting a rented car is that its much faster to get to more secluded beaches if you're interested in that, or the North Shore.

Panda Cuisine on Keeaumoku Street near Ala Moana Center (not the same as Panda Express mentioned by IB). Legend in the Chinatown Cultural Plaza, but I think they also have one in Waikiki at the Waikiki Trade Center on Kuhio and Seaside. Royal Garden in the Ala Moana Hotel. Mei Sum Dim Sum in downtown Chinatown on the corner of Smith and Pauahi. Hee Hing in Kapahulu.

Don't leave anything of value in the rental car. I've lost 2 sets of golf clubs in 3 years. The second time, I had only been gone for around 10-15 minutes shopping for CDs at Tower Records on Keeaumoku St. Long enough for these bozos to access the trunk, take the stuff, and lock it back up.

Thanks everyone!
I think I will only rent the car for the last day I'm there. My flight doesn't leave until 11:59pm, and I doubt the hotel will let me have a 8 pm late checkout without a premium price.
Looks like some tour companies will pick me up at the hotel, so that'll be cool and easy on the wallet! ;D
