Description
Experience the North Shore countryside, Hawaii Forest & Trail style. Start the day in Waimea valley, hiking next to ka wai ola, the life-giving water, of kamananui river, culminating at the crashing waters of Waimea Valley waterfall. Stroll through the lush botanical garden as your naturalist guide illuminates the landscape through storytelling — cruise down the coast to a secluded beach. Far from the hustle and bustle, find a sense of serenity on this small sandy shore in the middle of the largest ocean on our planet. What North Shore day would be complete without a shrimp truck plate lunch? Dine with a truck that farms their own shrimp from a modern 36-acre pond in Kahuku. From modern shrimp farming, visit a traditional 10 acre restored traditional Hawaiian fishpond in the heart of Haleiwa. Gain a hands-on understanding of how the Hawaiian people sustainably supported their communities through aquaculture. Cap off the day with a stroll through historic Haleiwa townhome to surf culture, local boutiques, and of course, shave ice.
