What To Expect

1. 1

   North Shore

   Hawaii is considered the cultural home of surfing and ancient Hawaiians enjoyed surfing just for the pure joy and fun of it. The north shore of Oahu is home to 3 of the most famous waves in the world; Banzai Pipeline, Sunset Beach and Waimea Bay. Winter is the most predictable time of year when large swells can roll in. It always takes some luck, but if you are there when the surf is "big", you are going to be a little intimidated and pretty impressed. At any time of year, these beaches are worth checking out and if you plan to go into the water, just be sure to be safe and not get caught in conditions beyond your abilities.

   1 hour • Admission Ticket Free

2. 2

   Hanauma Bay State Park

   Hanauma Bay is the most popular and favorite snorkeling location on Oahu and spectacularly located within the half-crescent rim of an ancient cinder cone. Optional stop - timed ticket reservations required. Reservations are now needed, as an online reservation system has been launched to assist with restricted public entry.

   2 hours • Admission Ticket Not Included

3. 3

   Diamond Head State Monument

   The most famous extinct volcanic crater on Oahu is the picturesque Diamond Head, located just a few minutes drive from Waikiki. Drive through the tunnel in the crater wall to park inside. A parking fee is payable at the entrance. It's perfectly fine to enjoy the views inside the crater, but if you can handle the 271 stairs and sometimes steep trail, the most popular thing to do is to hike to the crater rim. From the top, you will enjoy outstanding views to Waikiki, Honolulu and along the coastal beaches. Expect to spend 90 minutes if you plan to do the hike.

   1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Not Included

4. 4

   Kailua Beach Park

   One of Oahu's most amazing sandy beaches, a beautiful beach two and a half miles long, between Alala and Kapoho Points. From the shore, you will enjoy views to the Mokes, a pair of islands that sit just 1 mile off the shore. Join a guided kayak trip to paddle out and explore. Be aware that parking restrictions are enforced stringently, especially on weekends.

   30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free

   Stop 5

   Punchbowl Crater stands regally in a crater above the city and provides a poignant reminder of the sacrifice of service men and women who lost their lives in theaters of war at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
