South Shore Tour
-
Morning
A South Shore circular driving tour makes for a wonderful all-day itinerary. From Waikīkī, take H1 to the Wai’alae exit and start the morning with croissants at the Patisserie and shopping at Kāhala Mall; shorts and sandals are just fine even at this ritzy mall.
Continue south, and finish off the morning with a water adventure at Maunalua Bay (see Maunalua Bay Beach Park), such as water-skiing or diving. (Reserve ahead at water activity shops at Hawai’i Kai Towne Center or Koko Marina Center.) Alternatively, for a more sedate pursuit, take the binoculars and go birdwatching on the edge of the Paikō Lagoon State Reserve .
Back on Kalaniana’ole, grab a quick lunch at Kona Brewing Co. or one of a dozen inexpensive, interesting eateries at Koko Marina Center .
Afternoon
Cruise slowly around the island’s edge, stopping to view the Hālona Blow Hole and watch the bodysurfers and kite-fliers at Sandy Beach.
At Makapu’u Wayside, park and make the easy hour-long, two-mile trek up and down the old lighthouse road; the views will stay with you long after you return home.
Afterward, refresh yourself with Keneke’s shave ice and a long swim at one of the Waimānalo beach parks before heading home via the Pali Highway.
