Things To Do
Kailua Beach
The beaches on the east side are less crowded and absolutely gorgeous! Think bath water floats and lush green shores. You may even spot some unique pets roaming around.
Check out big waves on the North Shore
In the winter months between November and March, huge swells arrive in the North Shore of Oahu with some of the best waves in the world. Said waves attract the best surfers in the world and serve as a stage for some of the most exciting surf competitions in existence.
Hike Waimano Falls
Though the Waimano Falls Trail is beautiful and accessible year-round, it may be best to visit after it rains. That is when the pools are full and the waterfall is flowing. Of course, you can jump in, but do so at your own risk. The hike, located near Pearl City, is 2.8 miles out and back. AllTrails rates it as “hard," so make sure to take your time, wear the right shoes, and pack plenty of water for this one, too.
Waiola Shave Ice
The iconic Oahu treat shop that's been around since 1940. Check out the local flavors like lychee, the bride and groom's fave, and guava.
Shrimp Trucks
Giovanni’s is the original truck that started it all but there are many others that you can check out, mostly on the North Shore.
