A drive to the North Shore is a must on Oahu. Turn Left (East) on the highway as you leave Villa Laulea to experience the greatest views, and come back through Central Oahu after enjoying dinner in the historic beach town of Haleiwa.

See the honu (turtles) - but don’t touch! Stop by a shrimp truck, visit a local artisan for small batch crafted goodies! Gorgeous beaches. Great surf.
