This has great snorkeling and isn't organized as far as making reservation. Park at the parking lot across from Woodland at Pupukea on the north shore. The trail is rocky to enter the water. Don't go when waves are big in the winter time.

여행 팁

관습과 문화

Remove shoes before entering someone's home, clothing

Take off shoes when entering a home; this is a local custom. For packing advice : during the summer months it is not necessary to bring many clothing "layers" since the temperatures are relatively warm in the evenings and get pretty hot during the afternoons when not right on the ocean.
준비물

Bring comfortable slip-on shoes, lightweight clothes

During the winter months I wear a long sleeved shirt or light weight sweat shirt at night. The attire is casual and beach oriented. Many people wear sandals called "slippers" which are flip flops and are appropriate to wear in any social scene.
