Great place to surf! The paddle out is long but it’s definitely worth it. Best way to get out to the surf is by laying on your stomach, on your board and using your hands to paddle in the shallow waters. Make sure to keep your eye out for sea urchins so that you’re not accidentally hitting one either with your hands or stepping on ones with your feet.

Ala Moana Beach Park

This is a beautiful park with palm trees, banyans, and many picnic tables. It's a perfect place to find some shade post-beach or to enjoy a delicious poke bowl. It is located next to Ala Moana beach and has a jogging path that runs past the park and to the beach. There is ample parking, but some spots do have a meter.

Ala Moana Bowls

To get there, go to Ala Moana Harbor/Boat parking lot near Hilton Hawaiian Village. Walk along the rock jetty that parallels the boat harbor on the right. Jump off rocks and paddle right towards the deep water boat channel, there's a huge buoy out there. If it is on, you will see a thick sucky left barrel coming through. Have fun, get barreled and be safe.

Bodysurfing Point Panic

Have you seen Come Hell or Highwater? No? You should and then you should head to Point Panic on the South Shore to see some of bodysurfing's best showing off. If you're a good swimmer with a fair amount of bodysurfing experience, grab your fins and head out for a few. Make sure you're respectful of the locals. Afterward, you can bbq and watch others head out in Point Panic Park.

Paddleboarding Kahanamoku Beach

Whether you're a paddle boarding enthusiast or it's your first time, this spot is perfect! The waves are nice and calm allowing for a relaxing time. This area is away from the main part of Waikiki so you'll still get the beautiful view of Diamond Head without the large crowd of people. You'll also be able to maneuver your paddle board without fear of hitting a swimmer. Get there early to beat t...

Hike to Diamond Head Overlook

You will start your hike at the bottom of the volcano. The cost to get into the park is 5$ per vehicle or 1$ for a walk-in or taxi. The cost of the park is absolutely worth it. On the way up the mountain you will start on a wide paved path that starts out relatively flat but gets steeper on the way up. Once the trail starts to go up it gets a lot steeper and starts dirt trail with lots of switc...
