Hawaii Things to Do on Windward Oahu | Lanikai Beach to Kualoa Ranch

We love to get out of Waikiki to explore #Oahu, Hawaii. Windward Oahu is home to our favorite beach, #Lanikai Beach, but also so much more on this tropical side of Oahu.
Here is our perfect day on Windward Oahu. Come over to Kailua town for food, Kualoa Ranch for some adventure, and Kailua and Lanikai beaches for the sun and sea. We had a blast exploring this part of Oahu and it is only 30-minutes from Waikiki and Honolulu.

While I'm enjoying all these Hawaii videos, I'm also thinking how wonderful it is to see Henry grow up through each video. All the raw footage could be turned into "Henry's day in the life of growing up aloha." What a treat for him, the family and everyone else.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

these videos are excellent family videos which I will put on at Thanksgiving and Christmas and make everyone watch them as I narrate the behind the scenes action for the next 40 years. He will thank me, I'm sure.

HENRY OUT HERE LIVING HIS BEST LIFE

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

He was the MVP of the Kualoa Ranch Jungle Tour. Just having a blast with the rain and all!

[@PeaceFan1]

GREAT video.. I would tell people to TIP their Guides for these or Any Tours!! It is an Awesome Way to show ALOHA!!!

[@ronwuestefeldhomes]

Malasadas is a must to start the day. We love going out that way. Pali Lookout is always a must for out of town visitors.

[@christiepancake2904]

I cannot express how much I appreciate all of your videos. I am knee deep in planning a trip to Hawaii, and your channel is awesome! Thank you!!!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

I’m glad you found us. This oldie is one of my favorites. It was a fun day out. Enjoy the trip planning!

[@tinavannavong9423]

I love this vlog!

[@estebanacevedo9408]

Love your videos and all the advise you have given me can't wait to get there this year. Keep the videos coming they are very helpful to first timers like me

[@heypeterestrada]

Our whole family loves Lanikai and your video just makes us want to go back even more so now. Thank you.

Our favourite destination for vacation so I get some great pointers by watching your vlogs. Henry is too cute!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Mahalo! We are glad the videos help with your planning! Henry is growing up so fast.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

I'm in class right now day dreaming of the day I vacation out of New England!! 🤣

COOLEST VID EVER! My kids are dying to horseback ride and zip line. Our April 2021 just got 10x better because of this! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🥲

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks so much! You’re going to have a great April!

[@lisarighetti5385]

We did the same tour years ago, and it was fabulous. The beauty of the property and the mountains is unbeatable.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Time to go again? 😂

[@lisarighetti5385]

Planning to return in August. 🤞

I did the ATV excursion at Kualoa Ranch…it was fun except i was thinking it would be a similar experience to ATV rides in Cancun or Tulum which are a little more adventurous. For anyone wondering, If you are tight on cash I would suggest their tour on the bus (the excursion they took in the video). It’s basically the same thing on the bus versus riding an ATV just cheaper.

[@othelloperrello6604]

Man you guys are adorable! Great real travel guides, thank you so much looking forward to visiting. I'm a postal carrier in Vermont, saw some openings in Maui, started looking into it and found your videos. Thanks so much! I'm not moving there yet, I love my own paradise right now, but I have decided I will visit next October. Aloha.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

See you in a year! Plenty of time to watch more videos, especially over the Vermont winter. Stay safe and warm on your route!

[@nicolehoefling6515]

Great video! And looks like a fun tour for kids, who doesn’t love Jurassic Park?! Lol. Might have to watch that with my own teenagers tonight after work. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks again for the great vid! Aloha!!🌺

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks for watching! Totally made me want to go back and watch Jurassic Park and Jurassic World.

[@sunheego3593]

I've been living in oahu for 20 years. Thank you for the beautiful video!!

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks so much! That means a lot.

[@tesstomita7644]

You are so cool touring us around Oahu..been here in Honolulu since 2009 and only goes out touring around the Island when visitors comes. Love the way you shared your time with the public. Thumbs up....and God bless

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks so much Tess!

My family and I live here and we have not done any of this. Thanks for the information.

[@lenk.6567]

I’ve been planning a trip to Hawaii for a long while now. Your videos have persuaded my husband, finally! 😁 How is everything there with the ongoing pandemic? I just feel like with all the openness of Hawaii, it wouldn’t be at all bad. Enjoyed your videos, thank you! Beautiful family ❤️

[@ibracadabraasaansj2501]

I enjoy your video’s, keep them coming. May Allah bless you and your family! Greetings from Amsterdam!

[@juzzamuzza2529]

Where were these videos 5 years ago when we first started going annually to Hawaii?! 😁 Love your videos. It took us a couple of trips to find out a lot of the good info you guys give out and we're still learning from you. Much love from New Zealand. See you soon when life gets back to normal 🤙🤙

[@jojoscarf2015]

good videos me and my gf are traveling there next week cant wait

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Have a great trip! Thanks for watching.

[@billhobartclairvoyantmedium]

Another great video! I use your vids to learn how to pronounce Hawaiian words of cities and streets so when we move I'll know how to pronounce them

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Aloha Bill! Thanks for watching our new video. We are learning how to pronounce Hawaiian better as we need help! We get tips from viewers, are trying Duolingo Hawaiian, and we use this helpful guide from The Hawaii Tourism Authority: www.gohawaii.com/hawaiian-culture/hawaiian-language-guide We are slowly getting better but should be a lot better for how long we have lived here!

[@ycteques1]

Great video, what time did you start the day? what time were you at the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

We started right after sunrise, so about 7:00am and Nu'uanu by 7:45 with our stop at Leonard's. One can start later as we got to Lanikai a little too early that day.

[@ibracadabraasaansj2501]

By the way a quick question. Do you guys know when travellers from Europe will be allowed to come to Hawaii?

[@timgraymatter]

The farmer’s market is only open on Thursdays? My family and I will be sure to go there when we visit in June.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Only on Thursday but check their website as things change with all that is goin on. They have a good website with info. Have a great trip!

[@arekp4457]

Great video, so it was a jeep expedition tour or Jurrasic adventure tour?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

I believe it was the jeep expedition tour, it wasn’t the movie tour if that is the Jurassic tour. We stopped at some movie sets though.

[@arekp4457]

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide thank you

[@CottonBunni]

So fun! What month did you go? Does it rain quite often near Kualoa?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

It rains more on the windward side, hence so green. This trip was in February

[@mattmayers3012]

How far is the jungle tour from Waikiki area?I'm trying to decide if its worth getting a rental.

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Thanks for watching. From Waikiki to Kualoa Ranch is a 45-min drive.

[@MikeCanuck]

@Matt Mayers, some of the best parts of Oahu are outside of Waikiki! Rent a car for sure if you can afford it. You won't be disappointed!

[@maddelta8085]

What drone do you use? :)

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Mavic mini, it gets the job done!

[@maddelta8085]

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide wow, thats a great drone 👍

[@saikrishnagangavalli7861]

Which beach did you kayak with the toddler. Did you kayak to the sandbar

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

We kayaked in a river at Haleiwa with him. And a bit out into the ocean there as well.

Looking to go on the jungle expedition as well. How old is your son? Do you know the minimum age?

[@TheHawaiiVacationGuide]

Minimum age is three. It was the only tour he could go on! He loved it even with the rain.
