Itinerary and highlights
Home to the "7-mile miracle", the North Shore of Oahu is world-famous for its surf created by expansive reef formations along the coast.
This historic surf town on the North Shore of Oahu draws locals and visitors alike and is known for its unique eats, shops, and laid-back vibe.
Now viewable as an awe-inspiring mountain range, the Ko'olaus represent the fragmented remnants of the now dormant windward shield volcano.
This 1,100ft waterfall is 'kapu', forbidden, and its dramatic surrounding landscape is only accessible by air.
