A great way to spend a day

Sensational beaches and fantastic views especially as you work your way along the perimeter of the island. If staying in Waikiki, grab a car and go for the day, there is a lot to see and do outside of the beaches such as the beautiful...More

The best beach of them all.

We went to North Beach on a tour, i swear our group of 22 were the only ones on the beach. Nice cliff for diving if you have what it takes to jump

Beautiful drive along here

We wanted to visit the "north shore" and love driving the coast at that end of the island. Along with the famous beaches are many smaller ones, all very beautiful. Random places to stop and eat along the way.

A must see

North shore is a great place to visit. It's touristy and crowded. Go early to get a great parking spot. The food is all great and shops are quaint. Many are over priced but it's what you'd expect from a tourist area. The winds are...More

Mesmerized by the surf

The surfing on the pipe of the North Shore is mesmerizing. You can sit on the beach with some delicious food from the trucks across the street and get lost in watching the surfurs all afternoon. It's a fun relaxing time.

Breathtaking waves.

Attention surfer dudes and dudettes. This is where it's at on Ohau. Huge waves, especially in the winder months. Championship competitions. Worth standing back and just watching in awe. Lots of nice villages on the drive.

Sorry I didn't see this soon enough to help. Hope your trip was enjoyable. I flew into Waikiki and it was a splendid 2 hour drive to North Shore. There were many bus options but I do not know the pricing for them.
