Built in the 30's, Dorris Duke's home is dedicated to an extraordinary collection of Islamic art. Tours are reserved through the Honolulu Museum of Art and be sure to book well in advance! The home has amazing views on the 4+ acres of the Oahu coast. A truly hidden gem. Those interested in architecture, design and things middle east will be thrilled!
Set sail and experience Oahu's south shore from sea. Snorkel with sea turtles, whale watch or take a sunset cruise. There are many catamaran tour companies - some of the ones we've loved are Holokai, Na Hoku II, and Hawaii Nautical.
Cute little town looks as if it's stuck in time in the 60's. It's best to get here early as it’s a very busy place with lots of stores from art galleries to food trucks and excellent beach side parking down the road. Don't miss Haleiwa Bowls for the best acai bowl on the island!
Located in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park, this temple inspires peace, tranquility and the quieting of one's soul. Feed the birds or the koi or walk the grounds or sit and pray or listen to the bell. If you're looking for some serenity this is the place.
