Go to North Shore and Waimia Valley. Botanical garden that's huge and gorgeous. They also have a big waterfall you can swim in, too. Some great shots up there, too, and it's out of the tourism district.
Lots of good restaurants downtown. Get out if Waikiki, that's just for the tourists. You mist have the loco moco at least once - local dish that's great. And the best, freshest seafood around. We like Nico's on the Pier, an awesome outdoor lunch spot.
If you're interested in photography, there's some guided photo tours that are worth their money.
And of course you need to do a traditional luau. Paradise Cove is generally considered the biggest and best.
