Kāneʻohe is a census-designated place (CDP) included in the City and County of Honolulu and located in Hawaiʻi state District of Koʻolaupoko on the island of Oʻahu. In the Hawaiian language, kāne ʻohe means "bamboo man". According to an ancient Hawaiian story a local woman compared her husband's cruelty to the sharp edge of cutting bamboo; thus the place was named Kāneʻohe or "Bamboo man". The population was 34,597 at the 2010 census. Kāneʻohe is the largest of several communities along Kāneʻohe Bay and one of the two largest residential communities on the windward side of Oʻahu (the other is Kailua). The commercial center of the town is spread mostly along Kamehameha Highway.

Aloha, we are proud to be a Hawaiian owned business. We are permitted to run cultural ocean activities in the state of Hawaii. Our Captains and crew are certified, safety is our #1 priority. Learn about our culture in a true authentic way. We hand built all our Hawaiian sailing canoes, much like our ancestors did thousands of years ago. This activity combines the adventure of sailing the beautiful blue green waters of our islands and the unique cultural experience of sailing on a vessel that has been used by Hawaiians for generations. Great for all levels of experience, kid friendly. While on board, you will learn about the area, how Hawaiians used these vessels, sit back and relax or paddle along with us. We also have kayaks, stand up boards and snorkel gear. Mahalo for supporting Hawaiian owned businesses.

Byodo-In Temple is located inside the Valley of The Temples Memorial Park and is a replica of an old Buddhist temple from Japan. We went here as part of a city tour and I must say was probably my most favorite stop. The drive to the temple took us through a cemetery that had the most beautiful marble headstones and the grounds are very well-maintained. There's a gravel path that leads to either side of the temple and allows for some picturesque and tranquil views. Beautiful architecture against the backdrop of the Ko'olau Ridge takes your breath away. The temple is surrounded by a beautiful Japanese-style garden complete with a koi pond, statue of Buddha and traditional Japanese tea house. Donations are welcome for the restoration of the Buddha statue and you are asked to remove your shoes before entering (as a sign of respect) and they welcome you to light incense as an offering to Buddha. You can also purchase food to feed the koi -- a lot of fun for kids! Truly one of the best sites to see when visiting Oahu. When not visiting with a tour, there is no time limit on the length of your visit. Definitely a must see when visiting the island.

We really enjoyed the tour! Had an excellent friendly local guide. Took our small group of 6 (3 couples) on their van to see the grounds. Good a good feel of local history and some surprising facts. This was a site for Gilligan's Island!!! (and other tv/film shots) Highly recommended and different from the larger tourist traps. Be prepared for mud and gravel. Very scenic! Our guide was very proud of his local roots and showed it with his demonstrations and insight. Store is ok with nut and coffee samples.

This was great fun to hike--we just had to be super careful on the way down. It had rained heavily the previous day and the mud/clay was treacherous. We got a nice view from the top because it was sunny when we hiked. That is not always the case for many hikes in Hawaii. The vegetation was really interesting to me (first time in Hawaii). I got to see one of my favorite flowers, Lantana, as a perennial. I live in a zone where it does not survive the winter. Enjoy the hike, the view will be frosting!

I had a great time taking my wife to the Kaneohe Sandbar. I rented the Kayaks from the Heeia State Park. Rebecca was very helpful with telling me my options for the rental and Andy was informative and cared about our safety telling us everything we needed to know while kayaking to and from the Sandbar I had a great time and great experience!
