Start your adventure by hiking up the Diamond Head Crater. This trail is challenging and takes about 2 hours to complete roundtrip. Along the way, you will see bunkers, tunnels, spiral staircases, and scenic views that will take your breath away. In the afternoon, head to Waikiki Beach and enjoy some of Hawaii's sun, sand, and surf.
Spend a day at the Kualoa Ranch where you will have multiple options for adventures. You can choose to go horseback riding, ATV-ing, take a jungle expedition, or experience zipline tours. In the evening, drive to Sharks Cove to enjoy some snorkeling, Scuba diving, or just relaxing in the lava rock formations.
Begin your day in Haleiwa Town, known for its boutique shops and art galleries. Take a walk through the vintage plantations-like scene along with the famous Matsumoto's Shave Ice shop. Later in the afternoon, head to the famous surfing location, North Shore Beach and catch some waves with your surfboard, and watch the ☀️set over the ocean.
If you have extra time, consider visiting Pearl Harbor and USS Arizona Memorial built in memory of the soldiers who fought during WWII. Water lovers can also visit Hanauma Bay which is a snorkeling hot spot. In comparison, visitors who have less time may consider removing Kualoa Ranch's activities while enjoying the ranch experience. Remember to bring sunscreen, light snacks, and lots of water everywhere you go since Hawaii can get hot.
