South
Shore - $15 After a hike to Makapu'u Point (great view when the whales pass), and a fat hawaiian plate lunch at Keneke's (no host), you might just watch the boogie-boarders while you sunbathe or check out the tidepools at Sandy's. Point Break surf shop and the Magnum P.I. house are also on the way as you go around the south side of Oahu. If you haven't seen a heiau (ancient hawaiian stone temple), then you will see three on this excursion. Kayak
the Mokes - $20 A memorable experience for those who want to see the beautiful windward side of Oahu. North
Shore - $15 When you are ready to take on the big wave beaches, you can start by jumping off Jumping Rock in Waimea Bay, a popular beach made famous by the Beach Boys song. You can watch the pros practice on Bonzai Pipeline or Sunset Beach. Stop at beautiful Shark's Cove where the scene gets lovelier when you snorkel the old rock quarry. You will eat (no host) nearby at Pupukea Beach Park (one of the few Starbucks on the island is near as well as a great Hawaiian Plate lunch stand). Circle
Island - $15 Stop by the fruitstands along the North Shore to get the most delicious pineapple you will ever taste as well as young coconut chilled and opened for you, served with a straw. You will go then, to the Eastside to have lunch at L&L drive-in (no host). See Laie Point, a popular place to fish from land and big fish diving ( pros only ). See Kahana Bay & Valley, and continue down the East side to Makapuu Head, where you come around to the south shore. When the day is ending, we will go to a secret spot on China Walls to watch the sun set. West
Side - $12 Back to the beaches, you will go to Yolkahama Bay where the beach seems to never end. No hotels or neighborhoods, only an immense mountain range behind you. South of there, you will go to Makaha Beach, the best place to see homestyle surfers, outrigger canoes, tandem surfers, boogie-boarders and skimboarders. Before we go to Makaha, however, we will stop by Ka ena Cave, believed to be the source of Hawaiians and home of Nanue, the half shark, half man God. There will be plenty of chances to surf, boogie-board, swim and snorkel on this excursion . Get a real hawaiian plate lunch (no host) at Makaha Drive-in.
