Things To Do
Waimea Bay
This was the first beach we went to together in high school. We've spent many more days here swimming, soaking up sun, jumping off the rock, and bringing our dogs here to play.
Kahuku Farms
Best place it eat on the island, maybe we’re biased 🤷🏻♀️
Lanikai Pillbox Trail
Super popular, short hike. Parkings tough so go early! Iconic views of the Mokulua islands, worth waking up for the sunrise view 🌅
Mitch's Fish Market & Sushi Bar
Our go to spot for special occasion date nights 🫶🏼
Redfish Poke Bar
Fun poke bar with great pupus and drinks
Village Bottle Shop & Tasting Room
When we lived in Kakaako, this was our go to spot for quality micro brews and drinks with friends
Waiahole Poi Factory
Yummy Hawaiian food, try the sweet lady dessert
Waialua Bakery & Juice Bar
Ted's Bakery
Ono spot for breakfast and donuts before a big beach day! We love the fried rice, bacon, egg combo with 2 glazed donuts (chocolate and original)
Paalaa Kai Bakery
Get the snow puppies 🤤
Liliha Bakery Nimitz
You need to try the cocopuffs!
Morning Brew
Cute breakfast cafe and quality espresso
Arvo Cafe
Healthy coffee shop with delish baked goods, sandwiches, aesthetics drinks, and solid espresso
KJ’s Local Grindz
Must try Furikake Chicken plate, another go to meal after a beach day or hike
Makapu‘u Point Lighthouse Trail
Pretty views and a paved path to the top! Windy and sunny pack a hat and sunscreen ☀️🕶️
Bellows Field Beach Park
Aiea Bowl
A bowling alley and diner duo, we love the ox tail soup and lemon crunch cake for dessert 😋
Moku Kitchen
Great happy hour, live music. When James was in medical school we moved into our first apartment together located right above Moku. We’d often sip down Lilikoi Mai Tais or eat pizza downstairs for dinner with Nitro since they’re a pet friendly restaurant.
Malaekahana bike path
Walk or bike and pet some horsies :)
North Shore Bike Trail
In high school we’d bike between beaches on the weekend. Best way to beach hop, soak in the scenery, and save time not circling around for parking!
Shige's Saimin Stand
Great stop for dinner when driving from Kahuku to Honolulu. James stopped here many times when when making the trek back home to Mililani from Bailey’s in Kahuku.
