Are you staying at the J.W Marriott at Ihilani? Man, that place is great. That is my wife's client (She does PR for them). We got to stay there while she was working on a pro shoot for J.W. for free over a weekend (That is the only way we can afford to stay there as its at least $400 a night for regular rooms). We also got to see the Presidential Suites.

Anyway, enjoy your stay.

I wonder if my wife met your wife? She goes down to Ihilani a couple times a month for work.

PS. We get some sort of discount as well. Not sure how much but it ain't no $50 a night. That is why we are staying at the Marriot at Disneyland.

I haven't heard about this one. Sounds interesting. I was wondering where they do dolphin tours around Hanauma Bay, but
Our dolphin tour does not leave from Hanauma Bay. We leave from the Waianae Boat harbor.
If she wants to do it, I'd say go for it. Swimming with dolphins in the wild is not something you get to do all the time.

If you just want to see them and swim with them in an enclosed environment, check out the Dolphin Quest at the Kahala Hotel. You think $105 for 3 hrs is high??? Wait til you see the Kahala one

2. Sunset dinner cruise
3. Speed Sailboat cruise
4. Shark Encounter
5. Visit some filming locations for the show LOST (we both are fans)

I also might try skydiving

For the Lost locations, downtown Honolulu is a very good spot to catch a number of them all within about five square blocks.

Just about every big building downtown has been used in one way or another. They may not be obvious at first, but I think you would definitely recognize at least a few of them. Merchant street in particular has been used to death to depict various European countries.
