This location is excellent!! If you’ve already done the Waikiki things and would like to go off the beaten path and enjoy a quieter, peaceful escape, stay here! I am already thinking about when I can come back because 6 nights wasn’t enough!
We love to hike and eat good food and then enjoy the beach afterwards, so this was perfect for us. Some tips if you enjoy the same:
1. Shop at Costco before you head up because local grocery stores are $$. (Eggs, meat, water, coconut water, kombucha, Hawaiian sweetbread, local food in the refrigerated section like pork lau lau, Lomi salmon, poi, fruit like papaya, purple sweet potato, pineapple. Smoothie materials because this place has a blender! (Frozen blueberries, yogurt, bananas, mac nut butter). SOUVENIR TREATS ARE THE BEST PRICE HERE! (Choc covered Mac nuts, shortbread)
2. Great restaurants: Ken’s Fresh Fish, Kahuku Farms, Papa Ole, Seven Brothers.
3. Amazing hikes: Crouching Lion, Hau’ula Loop, Ma’akua Ridge trail, Kahekili Ridge Trail
