Ok - my coworker and I are going to a conference on the Big Island and then transferring to Aulani. My original plan was to fly to Oahu landing about 10:30am on a Sunday and pick up rental car and then go to Pearl Harbor for tour before checking into Aulani. However, I am reading stuff about not having your stuff visible in car while at Pearl Harbor due to break-ins and I am sure with two large suitcases, one would have to go to the backseat. Now I am not sure what to do.
1. Do I stay with original plan?
2. Do we check in Aulani, leave stuff and then maybe go to Dole Plantation and Halewia to shop or Waimea Falls and then head back?
3. Do we do an afternoon jungle tour at Kualoa Ranch after check in?
4. Do we just stay at resort and go to pools/beach while waiting for room and try to fit everything in on different days?
I was hoping to get a full 3 days at resort with two for touring but that was based on Pearl Harbor being on arrival day.
One tour day was to be Kualoa 8:45 tour then head up Northshore, Waimea Falls, Watch surfing, Turtles, Halewia and then Dole if had time. If not catch Dole one morning when they open and then go to Resort for rest of day.
The other tour day was Tantalous lookout, Nu'uana Pali lookout, Boots and Kimons breakfast, lanikea beach and maybe Kailua beach then head to Hanuma Bay in afternoon then to Halewia Joes on windward side for early dinner
Any advice appreciated. Thanks!
