Time To Kill In HNL Before Late Afternoon Flight... What To Do?

This will be our 3rd time to Hawaii, this time arriving via a cruise.  We'll be visiting 4 islands before we disembark (Oahu).  We've already done the "biggie" attractions on Oahu (Arizona Memorial, climbed Diamond Head, helicopter tour, luau...) We're spending the night on Oahu after getting off the ship and have a 6:30pm flight out from HNL.  We'd like to be at the airport by about 4:00pm.  (We do not have transportation to the airport set up at this time.) Looking for suggestions on how to fill at least *some* of this time.  Ideas?

Like you said, you did the major things. Personally I would ask my hotel for a late check out and sit by the pool or go for a walk on the beach. That's what we usually do when we have an overnight in Honolulu on our way home.

No need to set anything up-- Uber works really well.

We're in the same situation we have a 5:15 flight and don't to waste a day sitting & waiting, particularly if the weather isn't nice. There is the palace and HOMA museum downtown, and maybe ride around on a trolley, we don't know yet, it might depend if we see those earlier (we're staying 3 days post POA cruise). I don't see the allure of shopping while on vacation, but there is supposed to be "good" shopping in Al Mona? We're looking for ideas as well.
