Beyond the sand and surf, visitors shouldn’t miss the chance to go for a hike on the eucalyptus-scented Alea Loop Trail or at wildlife-rich Kaena Point, sample the galleries, eateries, market stalls, bars and boutiques of Chinatown, explore the real-life Shangri La set up by a famed American philanthropist, and take part in the time-honoured Hawaiian traditions of the luau (feast) and hula dancing.
