Hey everyone I'm planning on going to Oahu, HI in March for 7 days. I've done the whole tourist-like things like hiking Diamondhead, Northshore, the Waikiki experience. I'm sure theres more to Hawaii than that. Are there any outdoorsy type activities to do on Oahu? I know its not in the most naturalistic setting (i.e. forests, jungles, etc.) but I'm looking for things like cliff-jumping or ziplining types of activities. Any hidden spots that I should know about? Let me know

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Go Kayaking in Kailua. They have like a 3-5 mile area to go through. You can stop at 2 different little sand bars (little islands).

Thats awesome! How much did all of the equipment rentals cost you?

there's a spot over by China Man's Hat. It's where Lost has been shooting( like the huge open green mountains where they golf) and where scenes for Jurassic Park was filmed.

you can do horseback riding, hiking, and they've got an awesome zipline/ropes course....like some crazy stuff over 100ft gullys and such.

it's an old family friends buisness/property....but i can't remember they name of them my parents always set it up. but ask around....the locals should know if you tell them it's by china man's hat.

it was a little over $100 for 2 kayaks, life jackets, comfortable seat backs, and water pouches.

oh and nothing wrong with the north shore...that's where i grew up

i rarely left that side of the island....honolulu and waikiki are terrible in comparision.

Is it true that you can sleep on beaches without being hassled by authority?

cost? I'm on a slightly tight budget
