Go on a Hike

One of the things that I love

about Oahu is that even walking just a mile can bring you to waterfalls, mountains, breathtaking rocky coastlines, and 360-degree views. No matter your desire or fitness level, there is a hike or short walk for everyone. For shorter, less intense trails, try The Lighthouse Trail or Manoa Falls.

If you’re feeling more adventurous, try The Pillbox Trail or Diamond Head. Whatever you do, it will be breathtaking!

Try local coffee

In Hawaii, we take our coffee very seriously, and we are pretty minimalist about it. Cold brew, pourovers, and French Press are staples everywhere, although you can always get cappuccinos and fancy lattes, too. There are so many little local coffee shops that roast their own coffee. Kona coffee is the most expensive, but lots of other kinds are grown in Hawaii that are just as good. My favorite is the Kauai Coffee Company. Pair it with some homemade ice cream, which we also take pretty seriously.
