Things To Do
Na Hoku II Sailing Excursions
Located in front of Duke's Restaurant and departing from Wakikiki Beach, enjoy complimentary drinks while marveling at Hawaii's beauty on a catamaran tour. Spend the day dancing to great island music and sipping their famous cocktails!
Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail
Looking to go on a leisurely hike with a paved path and a view of the neighborhood Aaron and I grew up in? This is the hike for you! There are numerous look-outs on this trail and a beautiful lighthouse to explore around once you make it to the top!
da Cove Health Bar and Cafe
This is such yummy cafe with the BEST açaí bowls. Fuel your body with their clean and healthy food. It would be the perfect pit stop on your way to or from Diamond head hiking trail or lookout.
Iolani Palace
If you are interested in learning more about the royal residence of Hawaii or are wanting to see one of the best collections of Hawaii's royal artifacts this is a must see. I would highly recommend getting the audio tour, the history behind each room and relic helps bring the space to life.
Polynesian Cultural Center
We know it's a bit cliché, but if you are looking for a Hawaiian luau this place is a must. This is the most authentic cultural experiences on island! Definitely a full days worth of activities.
Leonard's Bakery Malasada Truck
Hawaii's best malasada's come from this stripped truck. Warm, sugary, tasty treats served fresh every day!
Kaka'ako street art
Take a stroll around Kaka'ako and you'll find amazing vibrant street art and murals enlivening walls and surfaces everywhere you turn. The perfect photo op.
Makapu'u Tidepools
Makapu'u tidepools is a bit more of a challenging hike on Oahu, but the challenge leads you to beautiful secluded tide pools. The hike takes approximately an hour and a half to reach and involves some climbing along rocks- but the end state of relaxing in colorful ocean pools makes the hike worth the effort. We reccommend going in a group of experienced hikers.
Pearl Harbor National Memorial
Visit a part of our islands history at Pearl Harbor. Tickets must be purchased well in advance.
Crouching Lion Hike
A short but steep incline hike with some of the most breathtaking views of Kahana Bay. We recommend going with an experienced hiker.
Island Brew Coffeehouse

Arvo Cafe
Well worth the trip to Kaka'ako to enjoy one of the most "instagrammable" cafe's on Oahu. Located in one of the most hip areas which has numerous cafe's and eateries.
