Buy these books. Trust me, they are the best for planning anything on the islands of Hawaii.
I was just in Oahu not that long ago! I highly recommend getting a car! Uber was difficult for us to get around and the bus system is slow. Plus, car rentals are surprisingly cheap - I got one for $15 a day (including taxes and fees) from Enterprise at the airport. There's so much to see and it's such a beautiful driving island that a car will serve you well. Some of my best memories were driving around the island on the outermost roads.
I really enjoyed the east part of the island, particularly around Kailua. I rented a very affordable house just a block from the beach. Lots of good food, a bit more of a local feel. Spending a day to drive up to the North Shore, Waimea, hanging out around Turtle Bay, and eating at shrimp trucks along the way was fantastic. If you don't have one already, I recommend getting an ENO (or ENO-esque) hammock to carry with you and toss between trees as needed. Lots of terribly beautiful hammocking spots. I really enjoyed the hike up to Manoa Falls. The Diamondhead Market and Grill in Honolulu was so good, I ate there 3 times in one day.
Finally, this is the absolute best guide book for Oahu in my opinion.
