I'm more of a beach bum myself, but if you enjoy a round of golf, this top course is a stop on the LPGA tour (mid April). Past winners from the tour have rented our villa, so you'll be in good company!

(airbnb shows this location in the middle of the ocean. It isn't. It's at the Western most tip on Oahu.)
Exit our resort and instead of turning right to head back to town, turn left and head up the coast to the end of the road.
A moderate and satisfying hike to beautiful vistas and pristine surroundings. Dry, isolated, rugged coastline, and natural beauty.
Where Hawaiians believe is the jumping off point for souls heading to the afterlife. A sacred spot on the Island.

A moderately easy hike, up the mountain behind the Honolulu area. With the recent rains, the falls should be running nicely. Wear inexpensive shoes as it can get muddy in spots. Swimming is not allowed, but some people seem to do it anyway. There can be leptospirosis bacteria in the water from animal run off. A beautiful hike.

Food Scene
Local fast food, our version of McDonalds. Order a combo plate lunch with Beef, Chicken and Mahi Mahi or a bowl of Chili. This isn't gourmet but it's great on the beach after your surfing lesson.
