Feel like conquering a mountain? Hike straight-up Koko Head Crater following old railway. you will be stepping up and over railroad ties the entire way. Old military lookout with pillboxes. Wear good shoes and bring water. Thigh burning hike- my fitbit showed 100 flights of stairs in the 1 mile to-the-top climb. Just take your time, and rest along the way. HUGE payoff at the top with panoramic views of Oahu's coast! middle section is a railroad ties "bridge"...go to the right for alternate route. Much easier going down than up! Plan on at least an hour up, 30 minutes to enjoy the top (some people bring a picnic lunch) and 30 minutes down. 2 hour total. Go EARLY for cooler temps.

We are a local family who had a blast renting double kayaks and paddling out to the Kaneohe Sandbar. We did not choose to take a tour. Reserve online for better pricing. Arrive a bit early and park near the Gift Shop where you will sign wavers. there is a path down the hill next to the Gift Shop to the water's edge where you will launch the kayaks. You will receive a map of the area (with good snorkel spots) and receive instruction in basic kayak safety guidelines prior to starting out on the water. Bring lots of sunscreen- we didn't re-apply and got burned. Our kayak flipped twice and everything went in the water. Make sure you securely strap everything in. Shower and bathrooms available.

Sightseeing

My sister lived on this street- tour buses all day long come to the end of this point for the SPECTACULAR views. The adventurous like to jump off the right side when conditions are right. CAREFUL!

This is a great stop on your way to and from town (Honolulu). Enjoy the gardens featuring dozens of varieties of pineapples. We enjoyed the maze with our kids, but not so fun after it rains- it will be muddy. Go early before it gets too hot! (*check booklets outside the gift shop for coupons) Feed the Koi in the large pond. Huge gift shop, but pricey. Train ride. try a famous Dole Pineapple Whip.
