I'm staying in the North. I've been before so have the big stuff like Waimea Canyon and possibly a helicopter ride / boat tour of the Napali Coast as possibilities already. And unfortunately I think long hikes like Kalalau are behind me. Best snorkeling in your opinion? Best restaurants to add to those below? Anyone been to Polihale beach on the West side?

Here's my restaurant list, compiled from experience, friends, CB and some YouTube videos. Organized by location and type of food (breakfast vs. lunch/dinner). Some are sit-down others are counters. I know some addresses are incomplete but they're all easily found on Google Maps. Organized clockwise around the island starting in the North.
