Things to do
An Aloha adventure in Kailua
Water is the watchword here, and Lanikai Beach or Kalama Beach Park, the Kawai Nui Marsh wetlands, or Maunawili Falls may just float your boat. From stunning sunrises to spectacular sunsets, the 1-mile Lanikai Pillbox hike offers a sweeping panoramic view of land and sea from concrete bunkers, built between WWI and WWII as part of Oahu’s coastal defense system. And, within a stone’s throw of the shore, Moku Nui, Moku Iki, and Flat Island are a meditative mantra to while away the hours on the silky soft sand of Kailua Beach. Experience all the warmth and hospitality of the Aloha spirit at family-friendly Kailua vacation rentals.
