    There are some great areas around Honolulu and it is nice to either take a walk, take a bus or a car or even a moped and cruise around the neighborhoods of Honolulu. The peaceful and beauty of the scenery is awesome. The weather if not what you want at the moment then the scenery will most likely be amazing. And if not, the beauty will override the situation for sure!!!!!! WALKS THAT TAKE YOU TO PLACES WORTH SEEING !!!

    On the windward side, the mountains are covered with lush vegetation. The trade winds bring lots of rain, and if youŽre 'lucky' (like we were in 2000), youŽll have lots of it here. Then again, a few years ago we had the most brilliant weather. Sheer chance.....!

  • MAITA'I CATAMARAN
    Imagine stepping off the sand of Waikiki beach and climbing aboard an ultra-sleek, 44-foot, twin-hulled catamaran for a speedy sail off Diamond Head. Maita'i Catamaran was specifically designed for Oahu waters and can reach speeds for 20 knots. It offers passengers comfortable seats, a CD sound system, safety nets for sunbathing, and restrooms.

Rod, tackle and bait, a Local Style BBQ, and Waikiki transportation are included. If you want to see a different side of Hawaii'd nightlife, try going on Sashimi's Midnight Shark Hunt.

    Drive around the Island. Well, its all beaten path and I don't think you will get many surprises, but it's good to come out of the city. Also, the other islands are supposed to be far more exotic, but I did'nt have the time.

    When in Honolulu/Waikiki, you will see the range of mountains. Rent a car and drive across! There is Nuuanu Pali Lookout, a windy place with an excellet view of Oahu's windward side. I have combined several photos to try and form the panorama.

    Cruisin' Around the Island: The west shore

    West side of Oahu

    To be honest, my impression is that most people who go to Waikiki miss pretty much everything there is to see on the island that you can't take a tour bus too. But that's especially true of the west shore, which has a bad reputation as a place 'rich' tourists get robbed by the local population. Basically the ass-end of the island, the west shore has few tourist facilities, and lots of locals living in poor housing and driving beaten-up old pick-ups. It also has some of the nicest-looking, quietest beaches on the island. I suspect that the locals exaggerate the danger to mainland tourists in order to keep the beaches for themselves, and who can blame them? The character of land is different to the area round Honolulu, because this is the dry leeward side of Oahu, and it shows. Definitely worth a drive out just to check out the scenary, or perhaps visit the beaches and do some snorkeling. Just to be on the safe side, don't leave anything valuable in your car, and try to avoid getting out of your car when there's anyone else around unless you're in a very public place... just kidding... sort of.

    Unless you enjoy the hustle and bustle of a tourist made spot, I would recommend venturing out of Honolulu and Waikiki to see the 'real' Hawaii... north shore for the famous surf breaks and the interior land for the lush forests and hiking escapes.
