What are the best outdoor activities in Oahu?

I’m about to head to Oahu for two weeks in order to attend a conference. It looks like I’ll have plenty of time to explore while I’m there, so I plan to rent a car to do some day trips around the area. What are the best outdoor activities in Oahu?

Since Oahu is the most populated
Hawaiian island
, you’re sure to find plenty of things to do while you’re there—including great outdoor adventures. Here are some of our favorites:
  • Go ziplining at Jurassic Valley.
  • Head to Gunstock Ranch for some horseback riding.
  • Book a whale watching tour at Kaena Point State Park.
  • Hike the Diamond Head Trail to see panoramic views of the Koolau Range.
  • Visit Hakipuu Valley and book a guided ATV tour.
  • Soak up the sun or wade in the warm, knee-deep water of the Ko Olina Lagoons.
  • Wander around Ala Moana, the world’s largest open-air shopping center.
You only need a few hours for any of these activities, so they’re perfect day trip destinations. When traveling around Oahu, it’s a good idea to be mindful of one-way island roads and to try and avoid driving during rush hour traffic—but the best way to prepare for driving in Hawaii is by making sure your
car insurance
is up to date. Have a question about your coverage or want to know more about
