  • Scenic Coast Drive

    Our favourite adventure - hire a car and take a drive up the east coast up to the north shore. Stop at some of the most beautiful beaches and end at the famous north shore for the food trucks and scenery! The drive direct from waikiki to the north shore is around 40 minutes!

    (Do NOT skip on Lanikai beach!)
