Oceanarium
Devin Ogg: Crab leg lovers!!! This is the best spot and best deal for crab legs in Hawaii!!! No joke! They have fresh snow crab legs everyday, which are huge meaty legs that are easy to eat/crack... At $40/person or kamaaina discount $35/person this is a really great deal. I've never seen so many crab legs this size and at this price anywhere else in Hawaii. If you aren't into crabs there are tons of other sea food and they have a great buffet. OH AND THERE IS AN AQUARIUM IN THE RESTAURANT!!!
Honolulu Coffee
Devin Ogg: This coffee shop is usually busy with a line at the checkout counter and all the tables were occupied with patrons drinking their coffee. Their menu offerings include smoothies, Kona coffee, iced coffee and what sounded interesting was their signature coffee, Nutty Hawaiian Latte. They also have an assortment of pastries, macarons, desserts and their specialty, acai bowls for $7.95.

Logos Bookstore of Hawaii
Devin Ogg: The greatest thing about Logos though is that the workers are very helpful. They usually go the extra mile when you are looking for something to purchase. It seems that they are very genuine also. If you want something wholesome to read, listen to or wear, stop by Logos. They are very, very helpful and you won't regret going here.
Logos Bookstore of Hawaii
Devin Ogg: Logos Bookstore is the largest Christian bookstore in the State of Hawaii. They serve the entire Christian community, from conservative to liberal. Everything is fairly priced and the staff is always courteous. Note...if you are a person who loves to collect Bibles in different versions and sizes...then you need to stop by and browse through this store.
Hawaii Kai Public Library
Devin Ogg: This is a great library for this side of the island. They have some great things as well like: Storytime & Crafts for kids for free, friendly staff, lots of parking available, air conditioned & clean, ongoing booksale right outside the door - honor box system, great selection of magazines ... they let you take up to 5 free, the big booksales organized throughout the year, and activities throughout the year like magic shows, choirs, etc.
Mililani Public Library
Devin Ogg: The children's section carries a very good selection of picture books, board books, easy readers and youth books. On the opposite of the building is the fiction, non-fiction and computers with internet access. Behind the children's room is an enclosed reference room which is extremely quiet. No snoozing allowed!
Kapolei Public Library
Devin Ogg: This is one of the most beautiful public libraries on the island. And it is the newest one by far. Not only is the building in great shape but so is the books. If you want a nice big new library to come to with new books, this is your place. Also the parking is amazing with plenty of FREE spots.
Aiea Public Library
Kīlauea
Mauna Kea Ice Age Natural Area Reserve
Devin Ogg: This place is for sure one of the most breath taking placing in the world. Mauna Kea is known for its observatories and for being the tallest mountain in the world (including under the ocean). If you decided to visit this location make sure you are using a 4x4. 80% of the drive is unpaved and steep.

Koko Head Trailhead
Devin Ogg: Take the challenge of KoKo head crater trail. This trail is an old rail road track that goes to the top of this crater. This hike is more challenging than most. I recommend plenty of water and to do in the morning. Plan at least 2 hours round trip. It's definitely worth it with breath taking views
