If you are a lover of the countryside, you can explore the jungles, the waterfalls and the outdoor pools while you explore the luxuriant Waimea valley. Hawaiians have always found this a holy place and today it provides a verdant, fruitful harbour on the busy north coast. The Waimea Bay Beach Park is a must for those who enjoy the sandy beaches between their feet.

Over the years its ridge has been the site of chanceles and army facilities, and today people often walk up the craters to get an impressive view of Oahu. This walk is easy for most people to follow, although you might want to take a torch with you, as some parts of the trip take you through darker areas.
