During your stay at the Ko Olina Beach Villas, a place to consider for a day excursion is Shark’s Cove in Sunset. You can enjoy snorkeling, swimming, or even paddle surfing; however, some local say the snorkeling is best on the right side of Shark’s Cove. Visit Pu’u O Mahuka Heiau, “Hill of Escape,” an ancient Hawaiian heiau up above Waimea Beach to do some hiking or to enjoy the beautiful North Shore sunset. Locals also advise not to leave your car unattended.
Another activity, one that could be for the whole family, is found out on Highway 99 between Haleiwa and Wahiawa and is the Dole Plantation. Reports say it has the world’s largest maze. There’s a 2-mile train ride around the plantation and they have a koi pond, gardens you can stroll through, outdoor places to eat, plus shopping and food vendors.
