Just minute from Honolulu's famous stretch of beachfront hotels, Oahu offers knife-edged cliffs, sparkling bays, verdant rainforests, and yawning beaches that stretch for miles.
Oahu Trails features 45 walks and hikes that will appeal to everyone, with trips ranging from a quiet wander through the Foster Botanical Garden to a 14-mile adventure along the Upper Waimano Trail to the crest of the rainy Koolau mountains. Along the way, you'll discover Oahu's famous surfing spots such as Waimea and Sunset Beach, spectacularly strange plants like the rare white hibiscus, tempting swimming holes and tropical streams, as well as the colorful bird life of the Hawaiian Islands.
