Answer 1 :
Yes, I would say Hawaii is one of the safest states in the United States. Course thats not to say its 100% safe and you should still be cautious if you're going to shady parts of the island (but then again why would you go there when you're on vacation?) but most of the time, busy tourist attractions like Waikiki, Alamoana, are pretty much safe even at night time. Actually in Waikiki, most of the fun goes on at night. Waikiki might get a bit rowdy at night time though because theres alot of weird guys who like to hit on you, but thats pretty much it. Its alot of fun because there are lots of people around and sidewalk shows and stuff. Well at least thats what it used to be like, I havent been there in a few months but I expect it to be a little less crowded with the economy going down the drain and tourism dropping here in Hawaii. Fun things to do: lots of water activities. You can go to the Hawaiian water parks You could go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay You can go shopping at the malls: Alamoana/ Waikiki (waikiki is more like a long street with lots of stores, restaurants, and hotels than an actual mall though) Beaches: Alamoana Beach Waikiki Beach (usually super crowded though because its right by the hotels) North Shore (Great for surfing, huge waves but a pretty long drive if you're staying near Waikiki) Im not sure if there are many cheap hotels, since most of the hotels are in Waikiki and they are pretty pricy but I do know one cheap hotel which is Pagoda Hotel, its pretty close to Alamoana Boulevard. www.pagodahotel.com Even teenage kids go out by themselves at night all the time, and its pretty safe.
