Tried Out a Rage Room for the First Time - Totally Worth It!…read more I've been hearing about this rage room for a while and finally decided to check it out. I called ahead to ask about any discounts for locals or birthdays, and they told me they do offer a local discount with valid ID -- nice little bonus! They also said they had availability that day, so I figured, why not? The whole experience was super satisfying. Ever feel like breaking something at work but don't want to get fired? Break n Anger is the place to let that urge out safely and legally. Here's how it works: You get to choose 2 items from the top shelf and 5 items each from shelves 2, 3, and 4 -- so about 17 items total to smash. After signing the waivers, you suit up in a jumpsuit, gloves, and a helmet. They offer earplugs too, but I skipped those -- the sound of breaking stuff is half the fun. Honestly, the time flew by -- I went all in for 10 minutes and it felt like seconds. I probably should've paced myself, but I really wanted to let the rage out. No regrets though -- it was super fun, and I can totally see this being a great team-building activity. I'm definitely planning to go back and try the premium items next time!

Have you ever wondered how it would feel to break or smash anything you find near you or around…read moreyou? Or maybe just want to break something to relieve those extra pressure on you or release those stress? We celebrated my brother-in-law's 40th birthday, also known as Yakudoshi in Japanese culture at Break'N Anger. This was our first event for the day. There's really no parking around but you can park on the street. I think Sunday is best since it's not busy so we had better chance with finding a closer parking. They had signage and you would need to ring the door bell and a staff will let you in. As soon as you walk in through the door, you'd find so much colors, graffitis, spray paints and all items that you can choose from to break and special or larger items for purchase to break. The staff had us select 17 items that we wanted to break from the 4-tier shelves. What's really neat is that if you have an item that you end up not breaking, you get to keep as souvenir. For safety, we were provided jumpsuits, gloves, and helmets with face shield. Ooh and you must wear shoes! We reserved the Jungle Room. The room was equipped with sledgehammer, golf club, metal pipe, and crow bars. You MUST listen for their instruction to ensure that not only you enjoy your time smashing and breaking items but you are safe doing it! They also have a phone holder so you don't have to worry about taking videos! All in all, it was a fun event! It was our first and definitely won't be our last! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great week! Happy New Year!

No reservation needed for local residents. I visited Diamond Head State Monument on a Sunday…read moremorning and the parking lot was packed. I drove up to the guard shack, showed my ID and was able to park in the open lot. I recommend carpooling as parking is limited. I hadn't hiked Diamond Head in 10 years, so I forgot how strenuous it can be. I wore comfortable athletic sneakers, a large sun hat and brought a 24 oz water bottle with me. There's little to no shade for most of the hike. Certain parts of the hike are steep and uneven. Definitely take your time and don't feel rushed. There's enough room for people to go around you, if needed. I saw some elementary kids zip past me, so even younger kids can do it. There is a steep stairwell and a dark tunnel that leads to the top. Once I got to the lookout, it was so crowded. It was hard to take photos and gather with my friends. I felt so claustrophobic. After that, I climbed back down. When I got to the end of the hike, I went to the gift shop kiosk. There's a bunch of Sanrio exclusive merch that I picked up for my friends. I thought that was the best reward for my hike.

Amazing little area (views)…read more Keep in mind that place is always busy so make sure you made a reservation online for the visit weeks before you go if not further out. You have to be there within the first 30 minutes of your reservation and then you only get 2 hours to hike. Believe me you won't spend more than 2 hours there between the crowds and the heat. So the earlier in the morning you can make your reservation you'll be much better off! I traveled late and only carried one bottle of water and I was fine (50 yoa, physical but I don't work out or anything). Definitely need to pace yourself, especially if you're prone to heat exhaustion. Don't let the nice weather fool you cause it does get very hot with little breeze and lots of steep terrain. If you're pron to having bad balance or twisting your ankle a lot, I would not do this hike. If you have a stroller or needle a walker, you definitely should not be doing this hike. Views are amazing at the end of the hike, as long as it's not too busy. If it's busy, be prepared to stand in line to get your Kodak moments.

He was funny, kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable time. Makana actively listened to us, answered all of our questions, and even shared helpful tips for future visits. His positive attitude and genuine care for people truly stood out. It's rare to come across someone with such a heart of gold who takes so much pride in creating an amazing experience for others. Makana, thank you for making our adventure one to remember. Keep shining and being the amazing person you are! We highly recommend this tour, especially if you're lucky enough to have Makana as your guide.

We had specifically planned parts of our trip around this reservation and already had the rest of our itinerary arranged. Needless to say, it's extremely disappointing to find out so close to our travel dates that we now have to scramble to make alternative plans. Mistakes happen, but it's surprising that an issue like this wasn't discovered until the last minute. What should have been an exciting part of our vacation ended up causing a great deal of stress and completely disrupted our itinerary. Very disappointed with how this was handled.

It's in a bit of a random spot off the street, and really can't see it from the outside until you walk in a bit to see the entrance area, which is a small area. Staff here were friendly, and also helpful in helping us with the escape during, especially since this was a family event with a younger kid, they probably felt bad for us, and we were not doing great overall, lol. Definitely exceeded that 3 hint limit! The room we did was the Y2K one, which was certainly a fun blast from the past room. For those who were 90s kids or fondly remember the 90s, this will definitely be your jam. The room itself was wide ranging of difficulty, while I wouldn't recommend for beginners, it's certainly got a good balance between difficult puzzles and easier ones. The room is also good for kids. Nothing jumpy with it that happens with this one, though, they might miss a lot of the references. But hey, if you're bringing your kids here you can tell them all about the things in there, "Back in my day...", and remind yourself how old you are! Anyways, don't want to say too much and give anything away. Have fun with the escape at Breakout Waikiki!

I was seeking to try something new, thus I decided to give Nocturnal Adventures a try. It first started out with a small tour along the coast to observe some sea life. We respectfully encountered multiple Hawaiian sea turtles. After that, we paddled over to view the fireworks. Watching the fireworks from the ocean on the light up paddle board felt like a movie. This experience was undeniably the coolest thing I did during my trip!!!! Another positive to mention is that, if you love cute photos, they take such great photos of you during the experience!!!

So from that…read moreperspective it's always great to get outside, exercise, and son son seeing wild life on a regular basis Overall though, the zoo leave a lot to be desired. A lot of exhibits are closed/renovated. Some of the habitats are set up in a way that sometimes makes it difficult and/or not able to see the animal at all. A lot of the habitats and facilities are a bit run down The best habitat is the newest made some 15 years ago (haha) that is always the best to see the animal is the elephants. If we were on vacay and came once, I'd probably be a little disappointed. However as residents with membership to bring son son on a regular, it's worth it.

I travelled up Mount Tantalus to the Park yesterday with my daughter. We travelled through beautiful dense forest at the Park entrance. At the highest overlook, we could see everything and more from Diamond Head out to (and beyond) the airport. We could see all of Honolulu. I felt like we were on top of the world! Plaques offer fascinating overviews of the history and geology of the landmarks below. We could even see inside the famous tuff cone, Punch Bowl! Nearby is the first macadamia nut orchard in Hawaii. The overviews are paved with railings and easily accessible. The Park offers picnic areas with a couple pavilions and picnic tables. There is a charge for non-resident parking of $7 that can be paid electronically. Resident parking is free. Parking is limited, but there are several parking areas. We had no trouble finding parking mid week. Warning signs tell guest not to leave valuables in the car. Pu'u Ualaka'a State Park is only two miles from downtown Honolulu (maybe a couple more miles to the top). The Park is an easy 5 star and worth a visit.

One thing to note is that it does get really windy here. There are two parking lots available near this lookout. The one right next to the lookout is very small. It only holds about a dozen cars.
