Product Description
The only complete guide to the fantastic North Shore of Oahu, this 355-page book is a must-have reference for Oahu residents and travelers. Short lists and suggested itineraries help visitors maximize their time in northern Oahu. A delightful drive guide takes readers through each section of northern Oahu, with interesting information about the places along the way. The book provides accurate descriptions of every beach and surf spot in northern Oahu. It also contains detailed information on a broad variety of recreational opportunities, including golf courses, hiking and biking trails, riding stables, polo, tennis, camping, tropical gardens, bird sanctuaries, Hawaiian history, gliding, and air tours, as well as water sports like swimming, snorkeling, diving, surfing, kitesurfing, and boating. Readers get an insider's view of the top tourist attractions. Dining options range from gourmet restaurants to dozens of charming local cafes and lunch wagons, where visitors on a budget can enjoy local cuisine and aloha. Lodging options range from a full-service resort and elegant condos to beach cottages and even a little grass shack available for rent in a state beach park. 23 detailed maps and a complete index make this guide extremely easy to use. A handy directory of local services and glossary of Hawaiian words and phrases are convenient references for residents and visitors alike.
There are many guidebooks to the island of Oahu, but the few pages they devote to the northern part of the island omit a treasure trove of fantastic places and activities. This handbook goes far beyond their superficial glimpse, taking the reader to idyllic beaches, mountain trails, waterfalls, attractions, and local establishments and events that most visitors never see. It gets the reader off the main highway to experience the amazing beauty, charm and aloha of a very special place, where te spirit of "Old Hawaii" remains strong.
Northern Oahu is truly unique. Although it is less than an hour from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu and Waikiki, its iridescent beauty remains surprisingly undisturbed. Verdant mountains descend to breathtaking sandy beaches, coral reefs teeming with sea life, and fabulous surf. The North Shore extends from Kaena Point on the northwest tip of Oahu to Kahuku Point at its northern extreme. This guide covers not only the North Shore but also the Central Plateau and the Windward Shore from Kahuku Point to Kaaawa.
For those with the time and interest, this book offers a wealth of information on the unique history and culture of a fascinating place. For those whose time and interests are more limited, it provides an extremely useful tool for identifying and enjoying what the reader wants to see and do. There are short lists of highlights for beachgoers, surfers, snorkelers, families, foodies, nature lovers, history buffs, daredevils, and lovers. There are suggested itineraries for a day, a weekend, and a week, with different options for tourists and more athletic types. This guide even provides a dozen things to do on a rainy day and dreamy things to do under a full moon. Don't go to northern Oahu without it!
