4. Kualoa Ranch– This of course is on the top for many reasons. Our reasons are little different. Outside of the tours they offer, Kualoa Ranch has a free small petting zoo, area to see the horses and my favorite farmers market. Kualoa ranch is a huge functioning farm, and at the market, you are able to buy home grown, fruits, vegetables, shrimp, meat and even Oysters (seasonal). The Market is open Thur-Sunday.
5. Tropical Macadamia Nut Farm– Yum! There is a variety of different flavored Mac nuts and you cannot buy them anywhere but here! Between the Mac nuts, coffee, local sauces and seasonings, I find myself going there twice/ month to pick up my family staples
6. Shark’s Cove– Known for World renowned Diving (summer) and Surfing (winter) this spot is a treasure. With plenty of tide pools and great food trucks, across the street, this is a great area to stop on the North Shore of Oahu.
7. Surf– Waikiki is one of the best places to learn or improve your surfing skills in the world. Head to Duke’s Statue, where there are many surf booths who offer board rentals and lessons for all levels.
