Itinerary

Nu’uanu Pali
15 min

Located at an elevation of 1,168 feet, Nuʻuanu Pali is a section of windward cliff on Koʻolau Mountain located at the head of Nuʻuanu Valley. It offers panoramic views of Oʻahu's windward coast. Nuʻuanu Pali was also the site of the Battle of Nuʻuanu, one of the bloodiest battles in Hawaiian history, in which Kamehameha I conquered the island of Oʻahu, bringing it under his rule in 1795. It's a 35-minute drive from here to the next stop.

Tropical Farms (The Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet)
30 min

Tropical Farms Macadamia Nuts is nestled in the shadow of the Koolau Range and is a stop on many island tours. No tour of O'ahu is complete without a visit to Mac Nut Farm to enjoy free coffee samples and the most delicious macadamia nut recipes. From here, it's a 5-minute drive to the next stop.

Mokoli’i Island
10 min

Known as Chinese Hat, it's an islet in Kāneʻohe Bay, Hawaii. Mokoliʻi is part of Kualoa Regional Park. Mokoliʻi translates from Hawaiian as "little lizard." "Moko" is an ancient form of the word "moʻo" and means "lizard" or dragon-like creature; "liʻi" means "small" or "tiny." This island is very close to the coast and is located across from Koaloa Farm. There, we'll put this tiny island inside your head using trick photography. From here, it's a 30-minute drive to the next stop.

Kahana Bay Beach Park
10 min

Kahana Bay is a picturesque cove with golden sand, surrounded by the lush greenery of the Ko'olau Mountains. Located on O'ahu's windward coast, across from Ahupua'a State Park (Ahupuaʻa ʻO Kahana State Park), it offers a peaceful escape with calm waters, perfect spot for some awesome pictures.

Kahuku
60 min

Welcome to our lunch stop at Kahuku, North Shore! This coastal gem is perfect for refueling with island vibes. Savor fresh shrimp plates, poke bowls, and shaved ice from iconic food trucks while enjoying ocean breezes. Kahuku captures Oahu's local food scene in every bite! Feel the aloha spirit that birthed the shaka, Hawaii's gesture of warmth and gratitude. Legend says it began with Hamana Kalau, who, after losing fingers in a mill accident, waved with thumb and pinky, creating a symbol of resilience. Toss a shaka to a local and connect with Kahuku's welcoming soul!

Sunset Beach
5 min

Sunset Beach is located on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii, and is known for its big-wave surfing during the winter season. One of the stages of the World Surfing Tour takes place here.

Haleiwa
Pass by

More than just a sleepy surf town, Hale'iwa is brimming with local flair and country vibe, as well as trendy surf shops and boutiques, charming art galleries, and down-to-earth restaurants housed in plantation-era buildings. Rich in island history, Hale'iwa is now the social and artistic hub of the North Shore.

Green World Coffee Farms
20 min

At Green World Coffee Farm on Oahu's North Shore, travelers will explore a 7-acre farm with over 3,000 Arabica coffee trees, offering scenic views of the Wai'anae mountains. The experience includes a free self-guided tour through the coffee garden to learn about coffee growth and production. Visitors can enjoy free samples of various coffees and teas at the retail shop, which also sells freshly roasted beans, local souvenirs like mugs and lotions, and unique blends like Rainbow Blend or Blueberry Strudel.
