Waimea Bay
Discover the beauty of Waimea Bay, nestled on O'ahu's North Shore in Haleiwa. Famous for its towering winter waves that challenge even the most seasoned surfers, Waimea transforms into a tranquil paradise in the summer, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Explore Waimea Valley behind the bay, a botanical garden rich in Hawaiian history and culture, where the 'reddish water' (Waimea's namesake) flows gently to the sea.
North Shore Beaches
Experience the legendary North Shore, a surfer's paradise and home to some of the world's most iconic breaks. Journey through Wahiawa, past pineapple fields and coffee orchards, to reach this stretch of coastline where the powerful Pacific waves create a spectacle of sea mist and adrenaline. Whether you're a seasoned surfer or simply seeking the raw beauty of nature, the North Shore offers an unforgettable experience.
Nuuanu Pali Lookout
Stand on the edge of history at the Nuuanu Pali Lookout, where King Kamehameha I secured his victory in the Battle of Nuuanu in 1795, uniting O'ahu under his rule. Feel the powerful winds that sweep through the cliffs, and take in the breathtaking panoramic views of the lush Windward Coast. This scenic point offers a glimpse into O'ahu's dramatic past and stunning natural beauty.
Mokoliʻi Island (Chinaman's Hat)
Visit Mokoliʻi Island, also known as Chinaman's Hat, an iconic islet just offshore from Kualoa Regional Park. This distinctive landmark, resembling a traditional Chinese hat, is accessible by swimming or kayaking during low tide. Explore its secluded beach and enjoy panoramic views of the Ko'olau mountain range and the surrounding coastline.
Shark's Cove
Discover the underwater wonderland of Shark's Cove, a lava-rock beach and part of Pupukea Beach Park on O'ahu's North Shore. Known for its unique rock formations and diverse marine life, this cove is a haven for snorkelers and scuba divers. Swim alongside colorful tropical fish and graceful sea turtles in this natural aquarium.
Tropical Farms Macadamia Nuts
Indulge in the flavors of Hawai'i at Tropical Farms Macadamia Nuts, nestled in the shadow of the majestic Koolau Range. A popular stop on circle-island tours, this farm offers a taste of local treats and a chance to shop for unique gifts and souvenirs. Sample freshly roasted macadamia nuts and learn about the island's agricultural heritage.
Ehukai Beach Park (Banzai Pipeline)
Witness the raw power of the ocean at Ehukai Beach Park, home to the legendary Banzai Pipeline. During the winter months, daredevils flock to this North Shore beach to ride waves reaching heights of over 30 feet. Even if you're not a surfer, the spectacle of these massive waves is a sight to behold, but be warned: it's one of the most dangerous surf spots in the world.
Aloha! Downtown General Store
