Hawaii Vacation Ideas: Visit Kaneohe on Oahu
Not classified as unavoidable on blogs and travel literature, Kaneohe is still a great place to spend a day visiting the capital island of Oahu in Hawaii. ThereComing how to get from Honolulu, you can drive to Kaneohe in several ways: the Pali Highway, Route Likelike, H-3 Highway and Kalanianaole Highway through Waimanalo and Hawaii Kai. The first three routes are all accessible by H-1, the major highway that runs through the metropolitan area of Honolulu. Kalanianaole Highway, access is the longest and most time, is also the most picturesque. The road is the most direct Likelike (pronounced lee lee-kee-kee), take you right into the good Kaneohe. Consider your schedule and other needs when deciding how to get there. Oahu bus system is excellent as a good option. Which costs only $ 2 each way, the bus has to offer, from downtown Honolulu to Kaneohe in half an hour. Hop on the tour of the island Kaneohe or Kaneohe bus Kahalu'u Ala Moana Center. A very interesting and inexpensive. Fun in the wild (and free!) For those outdoors, the beauty of nature, hiking, or just visiting, I recommend several places. Gardens Hoomaluhia: consultation at the end of Luluku Road, Hoomaluhia (which means "quiet") occupies 400 acres of land nestled against the base of the majestic Ko'olau Mountain Range and green. You can drive through the park and Hoomaluhia at several locations inside. A recommended stop is the visitor center, where you can park and walk along a lake and ducks feeding. From there you can walk on trails and paths through the park for an hour or more. Tent camping on weekends is available. Inquire at the visitor center permits and information. Likeke Falls: Access to the falls begins at the end Kionaole Road (which runs Ko'olau Golf Course); Kionaole dead ends at a gate in the Old Pali Road. Duck through a hole in a door and follow the Old Pali Road until it makes a sharp turn to the left. Find the path on the right. Follow the winding path a little. After about 20 minutes to find a side trail off to the right - this leads you to Likeke Falls. This is not a huge waterfall, but it is nonetheless pleasant and peaceful. About 2 miles round trip. Garden of friendship: a loop trail, very scenic and peaceful half-mile split in a hill near Kaneohe Bay. Access is via Kaneohe Bay Drive and Kokokahi Place (turn right just after a pedestrian walkway over the highway). Drive up Kokokahi Place and park along the street near the trail (parking is limited). ShoppingKaneohe has its own shopping paradise: Windward Mall. Anchored by department stores Macy's and Sears, the mall is home to 15 of apparel (clothing and accessories) stores, 11 sites under the category of electronics, entertainment, and toys, plus a potpourri of stores that sell shoes, jewelry, health products and beauty products and services. If you want to shop for souvenirs to take home with you, the sites are widely available. A favorite of many buyers is the store where all 99 Maruka one hundred (well, almost all) costs 99 cents. I often gift my Christmas shopping and here.Want to go see a movie? The mall is home Wind Stadium Theatres megaplex ten-screen that displays all the latest movies. See the films before and 17 hours to pay a male less torque. Across Kamehameha Highway from Kaneohe Bay Mall Shopping Center is (KBSC). Among a range of shops and stores is a great grocery store (Safeway) and Longs Drugs, also a good place to buy trinkets and things local at home as gifts. Grindz / Kaukau (ie places to eat) "Grindz" and "kaukau" are words people use to refer to food and there is no shortage of eating places in Kaneohe. Windward Mall announced 25 eateries, is a good place to find and Grindz Kakau, including IHOP (International House of Pancakes), Ruby Tuesday's and Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor. Places outside the mall that I recommend (I am a permanent resident who loves to eat Kaneohe): Times Coffee Shop (Breakfast KBSC-large); Kin Wah (located at the corner of Highway and Kam Luluku great Chinese food-Road) L & R Drive In (next to the plate lunches Kin Wah-great-tasting / dinner, spacious, inexpensive), and Chao Phya Thai (in the Windward City Shopping Center by Starbucks-Thai food I've ever eaten). If fast food for you, Kaneohe is home to all major fast food places, McDonald's, Burger King, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box is, Jamba Juice, Starbucks, Subway and Arby. What about the beach? One thing is Kaneohe lack of good beaches. Do not worry, though, because if you want to remove your shoes and spend some time strolling on the sand, you can visit the nearby town of Kailua (great beaches there) or head down the coast to Kualoa, Kaaawa, and other points north. Many sites and great ocean beaches can be found along Kamehameha Highway. Hele Mai (going down!) At KaneoheDon't overestimate places are ordered by Waikiki and tourism businesses must. And do not underestimate the scene of the radar screen. Kaneohe is one of those places off the beaten-path, and spend a day or part of a day he will be well worth your time and you will not have a large loan. So if you plan to visit Hawaii, Kaneohe Hele Mai.
