Where to go in Oahu Hawaii

Non-tourism activities in Oahu

The number of travellers to Hawaii is higher than ever before, making it hard to avoid the rush of tourists and find natives to engage with. Is it even possible to get immersed in Oahu's sentiments? There is nothing amiss about savouring the most favourite places on the islands, but for anyone who has been here more than a few visits, it is particularly attractive to live like a native.

Seven of the best ways to find local and only local places to find those who are living on the islands and enjoying off the beaten path lives are here - from choosing your own neighbourhood to looking for local and only local places. Yes, there are plenty of benefits and facilities in Hawaii's hotel, but you won't see any local residents unless, of course, they work in the travel business.

Choose a homeaway on the North Shore in Haleiwa City, Sunset Beach or Pipeline instead. Homeoway lodgings are usually held by local residents and are located on uninhabited boulders. If so, end your days right - just ask the neighbours where you can buy your corn mai and sword fish, barbecue them next to your pineapples and eat your supper on the landai. 2.

Escape the beginners and take your surfing lessons with former professional Ken Bradshaw and the Hawaiian School. He/she instructs travellers and natives in beginners, intermediates and intermediates courses. For a bigger challange, make a stop at Sandy Beach and join the historic waterside retreat alongside Oahu Teens - but only if you're experienced in bodyboarding.

Take a post-surf trip around the south tip of the archipelago and get to Kailua. Here you can meet the regular guests for barbecued curried curries or a dish of furicake ricecream at the Uahi Iceland Grill. Have small (and often) small, refreshing snacks on the islands. When you have your chance to circumnavigate the islands, here are the most important pits where you can find locals, surfer and walkers, physicians and builders alike:

Diamond Head Cove Health Bar with great acai peels and smoothhies; Sunrise Shack, in the possession of professional surfers Koa Smith; Pupukea Grill, where you should order the coir/quinoa curry with aromatic a hi pole; Yama's Fish Market, known for its lime and kahlua pork; and of course Leonard's Bakery, known for its cakes.

Don't abandon Oahu without taking a classical spam music ( "avocado") at Mussubi Cafe Iyasume. The best way to get to know the historic peasants and conservationists who call Oahu home is at the fair. Favourites from all over the world - just come early!

Saturdays the KCC Farmers' Markets offer freshly made Koko Crater Coffee and classic Hawaiians with a touch of cool tartar and pot to tarohummus and mocha. Sunday the vendors' harvest is moved to the Mililani Farmers' Merc. Inquire from Beer Rennet owner about the best small lot trials that reflect the citrus flavours you would find in an Inselgebräu.

At the north coast drive towards Kaena Point and choose a piece of sandy beach along the street. Aweoweo Beach Park is another North Shore feature where you can find kitesurfers on airy nights.

Situated on the southern side of the archipelago, Halona Cove near Sandy Strand is not only a local mystery, but it's definitely a good idea to take a look at the tidal pool near the Halona Blown Hole (watch your step!). At Makapu'u Bay, a shared daily destination for the local residents of Makapu'u, you can take a few leagues up the coastline for a calm soak.

Walk at the Hawaii Hour, you should never be the only walker on the way if you get misplaced. However, you need not be worried on the Kuliou riding trails, where you will find clear climbs with native explorers. It crosses the crest between the eastern and western sides of the isle.

At the North Shore the natives try to keep silence about the picturesque and concealed sundown walk in the old warbunker above the SOS. It' brief (15 minutes) and sheer, and features a final at sundown to complete a flawless Hawaiian game.
