Finding The Best Oahu Activities Discounts

by Greg Mattson

Are you a "coupon-cutter"? Well, if you're looking to find some Oahu activities discounts on your Hawaii vacation, you'll do well in Waikiki!

There are lots of discounts and coupons on Oahu attractions to be found, Waikiki coupons are good for discounts on Polynesian shows, sunset cruises, Hawaiian luaus, dolphin shows, zoo and aquarium, and submarine rides, just to name a few.

Usually what we do is just take an hour or two at the start of our Waikiki holiday and stroll down some of the main Waikiki avenues (Kuhio Ave, Kalakaua Ave and Lewers St. are 3 of our favorites). In vending boxes and dispensers, you'll find all kinds of Oahu attractions booklets and guides.

Then, it's help yourself time! It's easy to load up on meal discounts, 2-for-1 Mai Tai offers, guided tour deals, and so on.

Another good place to find Oahu attraction discount coupons and offers is in the Honolulu newpapers, like the Star Bulletin (especially on weekends).

Here's a look at some of the popular publications that are full of discounts and coupons on Oahu attractions, shows, tours and restaurants:

This Week Oahu - free guide to Oahu activities. Maps, news, and coupons for discounts on shopping, dining, attractions and more. They are everywhere! Hotel lobbies, street display stands, tourist attractions, ABC stores, and more. This is my personal favorite, and the maps and other tour info make this booklet a must-have.

The Best of Oahu - another free guide, this one is smaller (palm sized). Available in most of the same places This Week Oahu is found. 15+ pages of coupons at the back for discounts on Hawaiian souvenirs, restaurants and Oahu attractions.

101 Things To Do on Oahu - a bit harder to find, check the larger brochure and pamphlet stands thoroughly. Magazine-sized guide to an extensive list of things to do on Oahu, with 2-for-1 and 50% off coupons on sights and shows.

London - feel the magic by walking

by Gareth Powell

Walking takes me around the great cities of the world in style, and it saves me a lot of money as well. Consider London. There you can walk and be guided at the same time.

When I was young and ran a publishing company in London my offices were in Barnard's Inn. This is where Mr Pocket lived in 'Great Expectations'. Around the corner was a group of buildings which had survived the Great Fire of London.

I mention this not to boast, but to show that in London you cannot avoid history as long as you walk. Almost anywhere you care to stand you are near
