Description

Added by Jon Mattrisch

The iconic island, sticking straight out of the ocean off the coast of Oahu, is the perfect photo-op for tourists and residents alike.

Looking for a good photo opportunity while on Oahu? Mokoli‘i is one of the best you can find. Not only is it a scenic and unique view, but you can also have some fun with perspective.

Located only 20 miles from Honolulu, hop on H1 W for about 2 miles before turning onto HI-63 N for 7 miles. Then, merge onto to HI-83 W for about 10 miles before coming to Kualoa Regional Park.

Parking is plenty, so find a spot, grab you camera, and head towards the beach. You can swim, fish, tan, relax and more along the beach. Plenty to do here! Plus, the distance of the small island in the background allows you to take some creative forced perspective shots. Have fun with it and get creative!

It's a beautiful beach with an iconic landmark. I think it can also be seen from the road

Mokoli‘i

Mokoli‘i is an island located off the coast of Kualoa Regional Park. You can swim, kayak, or SUP to the island. When it’s low tide, you’re actually able to walk out there, but be mindful of the tides, because the current picks up on higher tides, which makes the route back more difficult. If you choose to hike/swim out there, it takes about 15 minutes. Make sure to wear some sort of water shoe ...

Relax on Secret Island

Secret Island is on the East side of Oahu. It's located near the town of Kailua. It's a great place to have a beach day and avoid the crowds of Waikiki. The water is super calm and the background makes you feel like you are in a Jurassic park movie, which filmed just up the road. You can get tours and passes at Kualoa Ranch. There is a fee associated with visiting.

Kaneohe Bay 10 Reef Kayaking

Kaneohe Bay is the remnant of a massive volcanic caldera.

If you have the chance to kayak out to these coral reefs and are feeling adventurous, put on your snorkel gear and hop into the water. The barrier reef ...
