Banzai Pipeline

Reviewed By psudino - Weehawken, United States

We drove past the southern end and stopped at the Northern end of the pipeline at Sunset Beach. The entire length of the pipeline is residential and the beach looks untouched. On the day we visited it was rainy so the waves were actually smaller because the wind was blowing the out, according to our tour driver. Either way, the beach was untouched and beautiful.

2. Sharks Cove

59-711 Kamehameha Hwy between Waimea Bay and the Banzai Pipeline, Pupukea, Oahu, HI 96712-9404

Sharks Cove

Reviewed By June_HTK19

My family went to several places during our stay in Oahu for snorkeling and our favorite spot is definitely Shark’s Cove! Deeper and more interesting undersea terrain to explore than Hanauma Bay, lots lots of fish and some corals, and we also saw a turtle! We prefer early morning snorkeling and when we arrived from Waikiki at around 8am, there were only a few cars in the parking lot, way less crowded than Hanauma Bay. As others suggested, wear marine shoes, be careful when you enter the rocks, do not step on or touch the reef and you should be fine!

Ehukai Beach Park

Reviewed By Kawikamf - Honolulu, United States

Since "tripadvisor.com" states that Ehukai Beach Park is in Pupukea,Oahu,HI, then to find Ehukai Beach Park, most Tourists would ask a local the question: "Where is Pupukea" with the hope of narrowing down the location. BUT, do not ask a local: "Where is Pupukea?" Why? A local would probably send you up to the residential village area of Pupukea, which is NOT close to Ehukai Beach Park. Instead, a visitor should ask either: "Where is Sunset Beach Elementary School?" or "Where is Banzai Pipeline?". On the makai or ocean side of Kam Hwy, you will find Ehukai Beach Park. During the surf season (winter) do not swim, unless you ask the lifeguard,as to where it is safe to swim.

Pu’u O Mahuka Heiau State Monument

Reviewed By haynes9 - Ganado, United States

We came upon this very unique place as our friends took us around the island. This is one of those spots that I probably would have missed entirely if we had not had friends showing us around. The ruins at the site put me in mind of the ruins we have on the Navajo Reservation where we live. They were surprisingly well preserved. There was an "altar" along the trail by the ruins where people place fruit and other offerings. The view of the sea is gorgeous! Apparently the plant growth had been cut recently and it was easy to see the wonderful views. This is one of those places that you should see if you are in the area. I do not knw that i would build an entire trip around it, but my wife and I were sure glad we got to go! See this if you can!
