A day on North Shore: Ke'e Beach

Drive north, past Hanalei, over the one-laned bridges.

Stop at Haena Beach and eat at the Taste of Paradise truck. Explore the dry cave. Walk east along the shore,to snorkel at Tunnels.

Just before the end of the road, enjoy the wet sea caves, and then continue to the end to park under the trees. Take a picnic lunch. (Ke'e has toilets and showers, but no food vendors.) You can find excellent snorkeling, or wading or swimming. Around the point is a private beach where sea turtles rest.

Hike up the hill to a heiau, or make the more serious hike into the Na Pali Wilderness for incredible mountain and ocean views.

A day on South Shore: Poipu

In Puhi, tour Kilohana, a Plantation House now turned into shops and a restaurant overlooking the gardens.

Drive through tree tunnel and wander the shops of Koloa.

Continue south and turn west to see Spouting Horn.

Then, go back east to Poipu Beach Park for snorkeling and playing in the waves. There are covered tables, toilets, showers, and restaurants.

Time your drive to visit the Hyatt, either for lunch by the swan lagoon at Ilima Terrace or for 6PM pupus on Seaview Terrace, watching the sunset over the ocean, as Hawaiian chant and dance is performed. Stroll through the lobby, talking to the tropical birds, and wander the lagoons, taking in the ocean views.
