Hi,
Infos what todo in Hawaii from my point of view.
On Maui:
the Road to Hana and the Haleakala sunrise are the most
spectacular nature events and if you are a windsurfer Hookipa Beach is also the
Mekka of Windsurfers and a must.
For the Road to Hana you should rent a convertible and go early in the morning it will be a lifetime experience.
Halekala sunrise and biking down to the beach is also an unforgetable experience after
the sunrise over the clouds.
On Oahu it does only need a few minutes by car to get out of the
crowded japanese city.
Drive up to Punchbowl crater in the morning it gets you out already from the cities noise.
From there further on the
"Tantalus Drive" gets you through the jungle and on the top
there is a nice outlook out where its beautiful to have breakfest picnic in the grass.
Swiming and bathing is perfect on the other side in Kailua. Either
Kailua Beach Park ore a mile further the Lanikai beach are beaches
which are usually uncrowded and much more beautiful than Waikiki.
North shore with Waimea Beach is perfect for swimming and watching the surfers. Check out in
the newspaper the daily surf advice, 5 feet and more
is already very impressive.
One of my favourite places is Sandy Beach (South East of Oahu)
Where body surfing in 3-5 feet waves is a must to try. Be careful!
Haleiwa village at the north west coast of Oahu is still looking very
rural. The best and biggest breakfest i got there always at
Haleiwa Cafe. It looks dangerous but all local surfers can be found there
and its perfect and nice.
There are many places which are very crowded an to much commercialized.
Hanauma bay is nice but already to commercialized. Arizona memorial is interesting if you are an american citizen. After 12 visits i still found more
interesting places for an Austrian.
In case you have a pilot license for a small airplane you can hire very cheap in Honolulu a Cessna and fly along the cost to Molokai which gives also breathtaking views.
In any case whatever you will do it will be a lifetime experience.
Only relaxing at on open cafe at the harbour in Ilikai in Oahu
is also a way to enjoy life there.
Wouldlike to be there too...
