Hired a car and drove along the coast up to North Shore. Nice scenery along the way. We're not surfers so weren't disappointed that the water was very calm.

I love to snorkel and have been lucky enough to do it in many locales. Due to the fact that I am very sensitive to the sun, I wear a wet suit and gloves whenever I snorkel. I would recommend at least gloves for a snorkel on the North Shore due to the rocks and tides. I spent two days... More

You have to take the drive to the North Shore and cruise at least once in your life. This is the "country" as locals describe it. Slow pace, aid back, just plain gorgeous...but not on Sunday! Traffic! More

Ever since I was a young boy (almost 40 years ago) I dreamed of being at the famed North Shore of Oahu. I used to watch the surfing events on The Wide World of Sports and was amazed at the giant waves that lurk the winter shores on the north side of the island. Just two weeks ago I finally... More
