Oahu Active and Adventure Travel Tips

By Karen Kefauver

  • While Hanauma Bay is very popular, especially among the snorkeling crowd, the Oahu locals favor two small islets: Chinaman's Hat and Goat Island.
  • The Maunawili Trail is a nine-mile route into some fairly untouched areas of Oahu's windward eastern side. Following the base of the Ko`olau Mountain Range, the trail has some steep rises, but it's mostly level walking through rainforest and open grassy areas. The reward will be beautiful views of east Oahu's coastal areas, mountains, ridges, sheer cliffs, and valleys.
  • Kayaking off the coast of Kailua, which is about a 30-minute drive through the Pali tunnel from Waikiki, is especially beautiful to eco-tour enthusiasts.
