Some of the most captivating and remote parts of Oahu, you may have seen already. Kaaawa and its grand valleys, mountains and centuries-old pathways have most recently been filmed in the television series, LOST.Our Kaawa vacation rentals and the surrounding towns are all reminiscent of ancient Hawaii. Just 17 miles from Honolulu, it feels remote and adventurers will find plenty of thrills as will the amateur or professional photographer or angler.

Things To Do

The small, narrow beach park of Kaaawa was once bountiful for the fish for which it is named, yellow wrasse fish (perhaps the LOST characters could have caught and eaten it all). While swimming is not optimal here, fishing for octopus, camping and picnicking are popular activities. Kualoa Ranch offers themed tours and day adventures, as active or easygoing as you'd like. Horseback, hula, jungle, ATV, ocean voyaging and a myriad of ancient Hawaii exploration tours are available at this expansive ranch in Kaaawa.The fishponds and gardens exemplify old Hawaii's beauty. Staying in a Kaaawa vacation rental will offer quiet solitude when you need it and a chance to revel in nature. Less than five miles away in Kaneohe is Tropical Farms of Hawaii (Macadamia Nut Farm Outlet). Taste, tour and shop for nuts, coffee and chocolates to enjoy in your vacation rental and to take back home.

Eat And Shop

Kaaawa itself has a few places to eat and neighboring towns, including Laie, Kaneohe, and Kahuku are home to Japanese food, shrimp trucks and many cafes and eateries with buffets and fresh local fare. The Polynesian Cultural Center is the place to go for a luau. The independently owned food stores and small convenience marts carry some staple products (and a great opportunity to meet locals) and a grocery store will round out the mix for whipping up gourmet meals at your vacation rental.



Flower farms, art galleries and small shops are a good contrast to souvenir shops and you'll find plenty of nifty items to take home and impress.

Getting Around

Rent a car for a stay in Kaaawa so that you can get to nearby towns easily and get around Kaaawa itself. .
