Helen’s Chinese Food

A popular “hole in the wall,” the menu packed with Chinese standards.
Herbal Scrubs

Scrubs use ingredients such as native red clay and island sea salts to exfoliate, detoxify, and soften the skin.
Herbal Wraps

Wraps use herbs and the application of heat to draw out impurities from the skin.
Hili

Hili are braided lei made from a single plant material such as ti leaf or maile .
Hula Implements

The implements used by hula dancers and their accompanying chanters have changed little over hundreds of years. Though some enthusiasts still craft their own implements, hula supply shops on all the islands now allow dancers with busy 21st-century lives to purchase many of the items needed (though the materials used may not always be traditional these days).
Humupapa

Flowers are sewn onto plant material such as dried banana leaves (lau hala ).
Jet Skiiing at Maunalua Bay

Jet-powered personal watercraft are a noisy – and some would say environmentally unsound – but enjoyable way to skim over the water with the feeling of flying. By law, jet skis are restricted to weekday, daytime hours. Ask about ski/parasailing combo packages.
Kailua Sailboards and Kayaks

Another good firm.
Kaka’ako Kitchen

A plate lunch place owned by a high-end chef. Great pastries too.
Kālua Pork

The centerpiece of any lū’au , or feast, is the whole pig, slow-roasted (kālua ) in an underground oven – an imu . The meat literally falls from the bones. The same cooking method works equally well with turkey, squash, and sweet potatoes.
