Day 1: Arrive by plane, pick up your car, and check into your hotel. Accommodation 🏨: We chose to stay near Waikiki. The hotel had many pools of varying sizes, and the ABC store right outside was very convenient. Later, we moved to another hotel. After visiting the Big Island, it felt very convenient to have a shopping mall right outside, and we could finally enjoy room service. Day 2: Pearl Harbor Memorial At the Pearl Harbor Memorial (reservations required for the USS Arizona Memorial), some of the exhibition halls don't require reservations and are quite interesting. You can spend about half a day there. All-inclusive tickets cost about USD 90. You'll need to take a bus shuttle to get between the different halls. There are indoor and outdoor areas, as well as a museum. Day 3: Polynesian Cultural Center The center has 6 cultural villages, each with performances, handicraft demonstrations, interactive activities, and evening performances. Different tickets 🎫 include different levels of buffet meals. You can also purchase a tour guide service. The tickets allow you to visit the park for three days, so you can come back if you don't finish exploring it all. Day 4: Royal Hawaiian Golf Club It really feels like playing golf in Jurassic Park. The scenery is super beautiful 😻. We even saw a group of wild boars 🐗 passing by. Note ‼️: There is a dress code. You must wear a collared shirt, preferably a polo shirt. Be sure to bring sunscreen and insect repellent, because there are many small mosquitoes that leave very large bites, haha. I kept getting bitten as I played. You'll also lose a lot of balls, so if you're a beginner, bring extra balls. You can rent clubs in advance from outside for more choices and lower prices. Day 5: North Shore to see the beautiful ocean, swim 🏊, see sea turtles, and visit the Dole Pineapple Plantation 🍍 If you don't have kids, I don't think it's necessary to play in the maze or ride the train at the pineapple plantation. Just get some ice cream. To see sea turtles, they usually appear before 3pm, and you can only see them when the weather is good. It was cloudy when I went, so I didn't see any 👀. Address: Laniakea Beach There is a particularly photogenic and clean beach 🏖️ where you can swim. There is a net that blocks off the beach, so you won't swim out too far. It feels relatively safe, and the sand is super clean and fine. It's a great place to take pictures 📷 even if you don't swim. Address: Kailua Beach Day 6: Shopping and City Walk 🛍️ Ala Moana Center 🛍️ International Market Place 🛍️ Royal Hawaiian Center 🛍️ Waikiki Shopping Plaza

When talking about Hawaii, what comes to mind is not only palm trees, hula dancing and sunshine, but also the perfect waves coming from the depths of the Pacific Ocean. As a traveler who loves surfing, this time I finally set foot on this legendary surfing paradise and started an adventure with the ocean. First stop: Oahu's North Shore - a haven for wanderers As soon as I arrived on Oahu, I headed straight to the North Shore. This is a place of pilgrimage for the world's top surfers. Names such as Pipeline, Waimea Bay, and Sunset Beach, each one is like a mark engraved in the history of surfing. December is the winter big wave season. When I stood on the beach of Ehukai Beach Park, watching the waves nearly three stories high crashing against the rocks, my heartbeat was a little out of control. I didn’t challenge Pipeline directly, but chose a point break near Turtle Bay that is more suitable for intermediate and advanced players to warm up. The morning light shone on the water and the waves rolled up in the distance. It really felt like I was back to the starting point. Second stop: Afternoon in Waikiki - Wanderer life in the city After a few days of challenges on the North Shore, I headed to the milder Waikiki. The waves here are gentle and the rhythm is comfortable, making it the starting point for many people to learn surfing. I rented an old-fashioned single-point longboard, followed the classic retro water skiing rhythm, and experienced a romance that had nothing to do with speed. In the gap between the city and the ocean, I met some local surfers and students. They surfed every morning and worked at night. Although their lives were not luxurious, they were extremely pure. They say: "The waves here will not let you down, you just forget to feel them." The end of the journey is also the beginning of the wave This trip to Hawaii is not just about chasing waves, but more like returning to the original intention of "why I started surfing". Every time you look up at the waves, every time you take off, every wipeout, it is a cleansing. Hawaii taught me that waves are not just about speed and skills, they are also a way of life, an attitude of not rushing or slowing down, and always dancing with nature. ⸻ If you are also considering a wanderer trip, Hawaii will be a choice you will not regret.

Located at the northern tip of Oahu, the North Shore is a world-famous surfing spot where you can enjoy beautiful beaches, natural scenery, and a laid-back local atmosphere. Although it is also known as a tourist destination, it has a somewhat calm atmosphere, making it the perfect area for those who want to spend a relaxing time. The charm of surfing and waves The North Shore is also known as a mecca for surfing, and in the winter season, huge waves come ashore, attracting surfing enthusiasts from all over the world. In particular, "Banzai Pipeline" and "Sunset Beach" are famous, and professional surfing competitions are often held here. Even tourists can feel the power of the waves, so you can experience surfing or spend time on the beach listening to the sound of the waves. Beautiful beaches and nature The North Shore is dotted with beaches with beautiful blue seas and sand. Areas such as "Waimea Bay", "Kaena Point", and "Laniakea Beach" are all areas where nature remains strong. These beaches are crowded with tourists, but they are still spots where you can feel the tranquility. You can spend your time relaxing on the beach, swimming, or playing beach volleyball. There are also many hiking trails in the North Shore that allow you to experience nature. In particular, the trail that walks through the valley of "Waimea Valley" allows you to enjoy hiking surrounded by tropical plants, small waterfalls, and beautiful nature. Local food and recommended spots The charm of the North Shore is not only nature, but also the local food culture. In particular, there are many local food stalls and trucks such as "Giovanni's Shrimp Truck" and "Haleiwa Tacos". You can enjoy fresh seafood and local flavors, and feel the local atmosphere that you cannot experience in tourist spots. "Haleiwa Town" is the central town of the North Shore, lined with cute shops and cafes. You can find local art and handmade items while strolling around, and spend a relaxing time unique to the North Shore. Access and summary The North Shore can be accessed by car from Waikiki in about an hour. Driving in a rental car is convenient, and you can enjoy stopping at beaches and shops along the way. The North Shore is an area where you can enjoy the beautiful nature, the power of the waves, and the local atmosphere. It's especially irresistible for surfing enthusiasts, but anyone can enjoy its charms, so be sure to stop by when you visit Oahu. #Spring0YenTrip

Haleiwa Bowls on the North Shore of Oahu is a popular restaurant for its acai bowls and smoothies💖 I ordered a Hapa Bowl and a Blue Magic Bowl🥣 Both were very filling and I was very satisfied🫶 By the way, the Blue Magic Bowl is a bowl based on the healthy ingredients blue spirulina and fruit☀️ Blue spirulina is a type of algae and is a power food rich in nutrients! It didn't have a unique taste or anything~ The store sells original bags, T-shirts, caps, and more! I think it would make a great souvenir🌺
