Aloha! 🤙 Most people who travel to Oahu never make it to the Waiʻanae Coast (Leeward Coast) of Oahu. But as a local boy born and raised on this island, I can tell you — the West Side is where it's at. We're talking hidden beaches, local grinds, and spots that most tourists don't even know exist.
In this video (Part 1), we're covering 16 things to do and eat all the way out to Makaha! 🌊 From snorkeling at Electric Beach to exploring Kaneana Cave, hitting the Mermaid Caves, and eating at some of the most underrated local spots on Oahu — this is your ultimate West Side Oahu guide. Whether you're planning a Hawaii vacation or you just want to explore past the usual tourist spots, this one's for you.
