Maili Pillbox
Hiking area
👍👍 Maili is such a fun hike to experience sunset for. The hike is generally short, but elevation is challenging in some spots. Depending on fitness level, the hike is very doable. Bring some bug spray because it is bad! Parking is generous but don’t forget to lock your car!

Countryside Cafe (Wai'anae Location)
Breakfast restaurant
👍👍 As usual, I am never disappointed in this cafe. The food is always excellent as well as the atmosphere and service. Today, they were short staffed and very busy, but all the staff from the kitchen, etc. pulled together to help the one server that I could tell was running the tables. Teamwork at its...

Westside Pillboxes
Hiking area
👍👍 This is an awesome hike with some incredible views of the Western Coast of Oahu. Be warned that this is not an easy hike though.

👍 Beach is incredible.
Ocean views from every unit. Truly stunning. Perfect to watch the sunset.
Rooms a bit dated, but nice.
Location is a bit far from the areas we wanted to frequent (we drive to ko olina each day). The area this hotel is in is lower socio economic and there are many homeless people...

Puʻu O Hulu
Hiking area
👍👍 Fabulous views of the valley and ocean. Looking west to the sunset over the ocean. Afternoon hikes have plenty of sun exposure and a few spots with shade. The path can be narrow at times so be patient for groups coming your way. Stay hydrated, it's quite a bit of work on the way up. There are no mar...

New Spicy House
Thai restaurant
👍👍 Be careful or you'll drive right by this little gem. Simple and intimate atmosphere. Staff is super nice. Had the Spicy House Special - delicious but wasn't really that spicy. If that's you're thing, I think they can make it more spicy upon request.
