Most of our favorite experiences have been on this island. However, most people that go to Oahu never even end up leaving "town". We have been fortunate enough to have two friends who live on the island for years now. One is a master waterman who shoots photos out at pipeline. The other has hiked almost every ridge line on the island. We have the inside scoop on most of what the island has to offer.
There really is something for everyone. If you are hardcore, you can do full day hikes along death drop ridge lines....or you can hike 15 minutes to epic viewpoints that look like you hike 12 hours to get there.....or just go swim with dophins and turtles all day. That juxtaposition is what makes Oahu one of our favorite places on the planet.
The hiking and diving is world class and with so many options, we guarantee you will need more than one trip to really cover the island, which is why we keep coming back. Oahu undoubtedly is one of our favorite places on the planet and we know it will be one of yours assuming you know where to go and what to do.
You can use this guide to plan your entire trip from start to finish. However, we encourage you to do your own research and hope you use this guide to streamline that process. We can’t fit every spot in this guide, so we just focused on our favorites. Make it your own and enjoy!
