Nu’uanu Pali
On your way home, stop at the Pali Lookout. You’ll see the spot where King Kamehameha fought to seize the island of O'ahu to form one united Hawai'i.
If you’re looking to hike one more time before your drive home for the day, head to the Judd Trail.
This one-mile path runs parallel to the Old Pali Road, a small stretch of the original roadway that connected Honolulu to O'ahu’s east side.
You’ll walk through lush jungle passing streams and a small waterfall along the way.
Once you reach the end of the trail you’ll come across a swimming hole — feel free to jump in!
This hike is family-friendly, but you’ll have to cross a stream to get to the waterfall, and it can get muddy and slippery if it’s been raining.

Waikiki
After you’ve finished hiking we’ll guide you back to Waikiki with stories and music along the drive.
Once you get back to the city, head to Waikiki Beach to watch the sunset. It’s the perfect way to end the day!
When you’re in Hawai'i, we ask that you act respectfully toward the locals, land, and wildlife.
Please pick up your trash; never touch any marine life, plants, or other animals; and avoid spots that are unsafe.
Hawaii’s natural resources are precious. It’s up to all of us to help preserve these resources.
If you want to do everything on the tour —
hike every trail
visit every beach
explore Ho’omaluhia
snorkel at Hanauma Bay, and stop at every point
— you should expect to spend about 10-12 hours.
You’ll also want to depart Waikiki around 6 a.m. to cover everything before Ho’omaluhia closes at 4:00 p.m.
It will be a long day, but you’ll get an in-depth look at Oahu’s Eastern Shore!
