When to go to Honolulu?
Waikiki lays on gentle waves and a shoreline that has never once refused a camera, while Diamond Head looms above like a sleeping giant with strong opinions about your calf muscles. Hanauma Bay turns queuing into an Olympic discipline, particularly once the car park enters the equation. Bring sandals, sun cream and a philosophical smile: here the queue is part of the scenery, much like the palm trees.
