1/2 Circle Island + North Shore Activities - from Ko Olina

🌺 Before You Go

• Sun protection is crucial — reef-safe sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are your best friends.
• Bring cash or a card for food trucks and shops in Haleiwa.
• If you’re traveling with kids, pack snacks and drinks.
• Wear a swimsuit under your clothes in the morning — saves time when switching activities.
• Pack a towel and an extra change of clothes.

🚶‍♂️ Waterfall Hike Tips

• Bring grippy water shoes or hiking sandals — rocks can be slippery in streams.
• Don’t rush — take time to enjoy the botanical gardens and cultural sites along the way.
• The swim at the waterfall is refreshing — life jackets are required (they’re provided).

🐠 Snorkeling Tips

• Best spots like Shark’s Cove have rocky entries — wear reef shoes!
• Stay still in the water to attract fish instead of scaring them away.

🚲 Bike Riding Tips

• The North Shore has safe, scenic bike paths (like the
• Tree Tunnel Bike Path).
