Make yourself at home, where the legend Duke Kahanamoku grew up swimming, surfing, canoeing and bodysurfing. In 1929, Duke rode a monster wave for 1 1/8 miles at Waikiki, likely the longest ride in modern times. You know that image in your mind of Waikiki Beach, the one with Diamond Head in the distance and outrigger canoes in a turquoise bay of warm water? It’s real and it’s here every day. Splash, body surf or surf, in the warm, turquoise water just below Hawaii’s icon, Diamond Head – just like Duke did. It is .6 miles away from the Royal Garden.

Sightseeing/Luau
Amazing tide pools and blowholes formed in black lava rock on the East side of Oahu. The beginning of this hike is very easy being that you follow the Makapu'u lighthouse trail (Which is paved). At the third rest stop, there will be a sign that talks about the whales, this is where you begin your descent to the tide pools. This trail will lead you to the tide pools. The trail is very steep and some rocks can come loose so hike carefully (shoes may be easier than slippers). The hike back up to the lighthouse trail is a great workout!

LUAU BOOK NOW! I believe this is the best Luau on Oahu. Everyone that has arrived and not booked early has not been able to get a ticket. This is an entire half-a-day event, that I recommend starting with lunch somewhere in Haleiwa town and then starting your activities after.

Kaneohe Sandbar, Oahu's Best-Kept Secret. This sandbar & its surrounding coral reefs are perfect for snorkeling, playing beach volleyball, having a lunch picnic & enjoying panoramic views of the Koolau Mountains & nearby islets. On the windward side of Oahu, this natural formation can be found at the center of reef-protected Kaneohe Bay. Depending on the tide, it can be covered with waist-high water or completely exposed, making a small beach. The sandbar is almost a mile away from shore, so you'll need a boat or kayak to get there.
