While I love being a world traveler, most of the time, I’m just happy to live in Hawaii and do the amazing things you can do for free here. Honolulu, the capital city, offers tons of free things to do. Here are my top 10 things to do for free in Honolulu
1) Hike to Manoa Falls and enjoy the tropical rainforest
2) Go to Ala Moana Beach Park for surfing, snorkeling, and sunbathing
3) Free night movies on the beach in Waikiki
4) Free Hula and Torchlighting every night in Waikiki
5) Walk through the historic district of Honolulu
6) Once a month First Friday Gallery Walk in Chinatown and Arts District
7) Eating a picnic lunch on the Iolani Palace grounds
8) Watching tourists hang leis on the statue of Duke Kahanamoku
9) Sunsets from Magic Island with a perfect view of surfers
10) Sledding down the big grass hills with local kids on cardboard boxes at Kaka’ako Beach Park
Honolulu is probably one of the greatest cities in the world for incredible free activities. I could list hundreds, but these are the ten that make me smile at the moment.
I send out Letters from Exile — free weekly dispatches from wherever in the world I happen to be. Philosophical sometimes, about tech or AI sometimes, about life as a digital nomad at 54 sometimes. Whatever’s actually on my mind.
