Explore & Taste Oahu's North Shore

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Start your journey traveling through the majestic Ko'olau Mountains, one of the two mountain ranges on Oahu. Visit Byodo-In Temple, a cultural landmark that symbolizes Hawaii's heritage and historical connection with Japan. Located in the fabled Valley of the Temples, the temple grounds are at the foot of the lush, emerald green Ko'olau cliffs and home to wild peacocks, swans, and hundreds of Japanese koi carp.

Head towards Malaekahana Bay and you will marvel at breathtaking views of the wild and rugged eastern-Oahu coastline. Continue to Kahuku and sight Hawaii's unique bird and sea life along the way.

Then travel north to and view Sunset Beach. This popular surf spot, along with Haleiwa and Pipeline, make up the Triple Crown of Surfing, where only the best and bravest surfers in the world dare to go! Between the months of October and mid-March waves can get as high as 50 feet! Continue along the North Shore's scenic coastline, possibly spotting green sea turtles basking in the sun.

Then it's lunch time and a chance to try some of the best, locally farmed shrimp the North Shore is known for. Hawaii is famous for its sautéed garlic shrimp but there will be other flavorful shrimp plates to choose from – as well as chicken, too!

Following lunch, journey through the colorful and historic town of Haleiwa. Up the road and past the pineapple fields you will arrive at your last stop, the historic Dole Plantation. Pineapple-themed gifts and refreshments are available for purchase here. After your brief visit, you can then relax and enjoy the ride back to Honolulu.
