Diamond Head Crater Trailhead

Take a hike! Close to our hotel and a cheap Uber ride to climb up another iconic location on Oahu. The cost is $5 per person and the hike includes stairs. Lots of stairs. :D

THIS PLACE IS STUNNING. A beautiful representation of Hawaiian flora located on the island. Highly recommend it, but you must take a vehicle.

Lanikai Pillbox Trail

Off the beaten path - next to a golf course and in between people's homes, if you're looking for some adventure, this hike is for you. Not very difficult, but does not have stairs. Incredible views from the pillboxes at the top.

Aloha Stadium Swap Meet
