Oahu Top Ten Adventures

Kualoa ranch is where so many movies were filmed! They have a ton of tours, but our favorite was the ATV tour!

Whether it’s a Sunset Catamaran Booze Cruise in Waikiki or a Thursday night race in Kaneohe Bay, there are many opportunities to get out on a sailboat!

So many beautiful places to snorkel!!! You can swim with dolphins, turtles, sharks, humuhumunukunukuapua’a fish. I definitely recommend renting snorkel gear to bring to any beach you go to. If you don’t like the breathing through a tube thing, maybe you would enjoy trying Sub scootering!!! It was a great way to experience underwater that was a step back from snorkel or SCUBA.

Ziplining is so much fun! And this one has stunning views.

What better place to fall from the sky than a place with gorgeous mountains and shoreline??

Some amazing places to SUP or kayak on the island: Mokalua (mokes/twin) islands, chinaman’s hat, goat island, anahulu river.

Of course, surfing is always an option, depending on what time of year and your experience level, you will want to surf on north shore or south shore. In the winter, the waves on north shore are MASSIVE! Fun to watch the pros do their thing. Waikiki is a great place for beginners, the waves are a little bigger in Waikiki in the summer months.

There are so many farms to explore on the island! To name a few: Kahuku farms, dole plantation (pineapples), 21 degree estate (cacao), macadamia nut farm, green world coffee farm, waimanalo farm (sunflowers). If you just want the goods, Oahu has many great farmer’s markets! Kailua has one on Thursday evening and Sunday morning. Honolulu has one on Wednesday evening.

There are a ton of museums to explore to learn more hawaiian history. Plenty of rainy day hawaiian activities! Some examples: Iolani palace, bishop museum, Polynesian culture center, and byodo-in temple.

Of course the classic luau is definitely an experience. There are a lot of options! I line that paradise cove has activities such as spear throwing and outrigger canoing that you can participate in while others are getting checked in!
