The walk in is very easy and accessible, and I liked that they offer a golf cart option for people who need it. Everything is really well maintained, and it feels safe but still natural. It's stunning from start to finish and really captures the essence of Hawaii in a very effortless way.

Checked out Waimea Falls recently and thought it was a nice, easy spot to spend a couple hours. The…read moretrail itself is fully paved and mostly flat the entire way, so it feels more like a relaxing walk than a hike. I think it's around 2 miles total. Along the path there are concession stands and places to stop, and at the waterfall there's also a small shop with clothes and other touristy stuff. The waterfall area was pretty organized. People were swimming when I went, and there were lifeguards on duty the whole time. Everyone has to wear a life vest, which they provide, even with the lifeguards there. There are steps and areas around the water where people can sit, leave their belongings, or just watch family members swim. One thing I liked was that the place had a little more going on than just the trail itself. Near the entrance there are small restaurants and souvenir shops, and while I was walking back there was a dance presentation happening at the amphitheater. You do have to pay for entry to the trail, but overall it was a decent experience if you want an easy walk and a place to cool off for a bit.

Walked over to Kapiolani park, then the tennis courts. Lopaka told us stories throughout the entire tour. You do get to participate, I don't want to give too much away. You'll walk away with memories and stories to share. There is walking involved on this tour. Bring a jacket. Park at Waikiki Shell or the metered parking between the bandstand and the tennis courts (Kalākaua Ave). I can't wait to go on the next tour!

Magical Train Ride Adventure!…read more We absolutely loved our experience on the historic Hawaiian Railway -- such a unique and beautiful way to explore Oahu's west side! From start to finish it was pure aloha vibes and family fun! Prices: Standard train ride tickets were around $18 for adults and $13 for kids (ages 2-12) (kids under 2 are free!), and we felt it was worth every penny for the experience and memories! Parking & Arrival: There's plenty of free parking right at the train station, which made arriving super easy and stress-free. We got there a little early to soak in the atmosphere before departure! Hours & Tour Times: The train runs on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays with departures like 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM, plus a couple of other times depending on the day -- perfect for planning your afternoon. Length & Route: The whole ride is about 90 minutes round-trip, slowly chugging through scenic parts of Oahu's Leeward coast with beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. The narration from the guide made the ride even more interesting! Stops & Fun: One of the best parts was the ice cream stop in Ko Olina -- we all hopped off for a cool treat at a little plaza and waved to neighbors along the way! Photo Ops Everywhere: There were so many spots perfect for photos -- seaside views, cute vintage train cars, and open-air seating made for great candid shots! Plus, we barely saw anyone else there during our ride, so it felt like we had the whole adventure to ourselves. Tips: * Arrive early to grab good seats and explore the train yard * Bring a camera (or phone!) -- the scenery is AMAZING * Don't forget a little extra cash for ice cream! Overall: This was one of our favorite experiences on Oahu -- kid-friendly, super scenic, and just plain fun. We're already talking about going back again next time!

It's a slow-paced easy ride with a narration of the area's past history and current status. Once the train entered onto the Ko Olina property the views were beautiful, especially up the sea cost. Passengers on both sides of the railcars switch seats to provide equal viewing opportunities. The seats are hard wood, so bring cushions. Overall a nice diversion and unique way to see the leeward (west) coastline of Oahu. Good for children especially. Staff very hospitable.
