Thanks!

Hanuma Bay, Polynesian Culture Center, North Shore are the first touristy things that pop in my head...

Yep, Hanuma Bay, Pearl Harbor, and hiking up Diamond Head are the 3 touristy things that I did when we went for a friend's wedding.
Pearl Harbor Memorial is worth it in my opinion, if you're into history at all. Kind of amazing that the USS Arizona is still leaking oil after 70 years. You walk out on a boardwalk to see the sunken battleship.
Hanuma Bay was great, if you're into snorkeling. Followed a sea turtle around for quite a while.
Maybe check out the list of things to do in Honolulu on TripAdvisor:

Will you have a car? Take a tour around the island, going up to the north shore if you can to check out the big waves. Most of Waikiki is just a city, like anywhere else.
