Things To Do
Faith Surf School Hawaii
Noah and his brother Luke learned how to surf from this group! They are a great family-run surf school and Noah's mom went to High School with one of the owners.
Koko Head Crater Trail Hike
Completing the Koko Head hike is a rite of passage for anyone that comes to visit the Au-Yeung's on Oahu. It is a grueling 1,000 ft of climbing in 3/4 of a mile. Be sure to do it early to beat the heat and then jump in the water on the way back to town!
Farm To Barn Cafe & Juicery
Great first stop on a North Shore tour. We like to go here at the beginning of a North Shore day to get fueled for the trip. Marley loves their juices and Noah likes their breakfast burritos. This spot does a good job of keeping the food simple and letting fresh ingredients do the talking.
Kailua Beach Park
Relaxing beach on the Windward side. This stretch of beach has some of the best sand on the island and we love to alternate between Spikeball and playing in the ocean here.
K and K Bar B-Que Inn
One of Noah's favorite spots to grab a plate lunch before headed to Kailua Beach Park. The Kalbi and the Chicken Katsu are heavy hitters. No frills hole in the wall that serves up great plate lunch staples.
Waimea Bay Beach
Go and jump off the rock. Bonus points for a bomb! Bring an umbrella because it gets hot out there.
Side Street Inn
Side Street Inn serves up great family style food. We love the Signature Fried Rice and the Signature Spicy Chicken. This is always a stop when we come back to Oahu.
Highway Inn Kaka'ako
Traditional Hawaiian food done right.
Bishop Museum
Bishop Museum is named for Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop (1831-1884), great-granddaughter of Kamehameha I. She was the last descendant of the royal Kamehameha family. The permanent exhibits take you on a journey through the history of Hawai’i, including Polynesian migrations and wayfinding, cultural beliefs and traditions, daily life in ancient Hawaii, important historical events, and much more. It's a wonderful place for both adults and children!
Shimazu Shave Ice
This spot is known for their massive shave ice. Noah's order is a melona shave ice with a snow cap (sweetened condensed milk on top).
Island Snow Hawaii
There are locations in Kailua and in Waikiki. Marley especially loves their natural flavors! Fun fact: Obama has even been spotted wearing their t-shirt around town since it's one of his favorite spots to go in Kailua.
Hula Grill Waikiki
Located inside the Outrigger Hotel, this beachside venue serves fish tacos & tropical drinks, plus weekend brunch.
