Delicious breakfast spot, super popular with locals, I love the kailua pork or crab cakes Eggs Benedict. Expect a line, but complimentary coffee is available. Also, great shops surround the restaurant so you can browse while you wait!

Parks & Nature

Popular, but fabulous and all ability levels. AWESOME SUNRISE! About a 1.5-2 miles from my place. Can do a loop and hike through to the end of Kamahele Street. See standard hiking spot start in photo. At "pill boxes" keep going and stay straight/bear left at junction. You'll end up on Kamahele Street (if on foot to my place :))

Olomana, also called 'Three peaks', is a fabulous hike just a few miles from my place. This is an adventurous, popular and rewarding hike. Less populated on weekdays. Can go to the first peak, second and third; gradually getting more and more challenging. Turn around when you've had enough :)

Take the Wa'ahila Ridge Trail, which starts at the Wa'ahila Recreational Area -- at the end of Ruth Place in Honolulu. Epic hike, start early on a clear day.

Getting Around

Rental Car stop right down the street. Keep in mind, you might get a better deal on priceline for multiple days or on a site like www.turo.com (the airbnb of car rental)

I highly recommend taking a quick tour OR calling in and booking their 3pm tour. Chocolate is a locally grown fruit and what you buy in the stores is actually sugar, not chocolate. I never had any interest in this, but when I finally went with some visitors - it was GREAT! Highly recommend. Taste chocolate 'fruit'!
