    Best Free Oahu Adventure Experience Ever

    Most memorable day of our visit to Oahu!

    We walked from the back yard of our rental house near the shores of Malaekahana State park to Goat Island w 3 adults and 4 tw/eenage girls ages 11-15. The walk across the reef requires water shoes and takes abt 10 minutes each way. Once...More

    Beautiful spot!

    My husband and I went to Goat Island/Mokuauia Beach on three separate occasions. The first time we were simply in awe of the natural beauty. We were also amazed at the force the waves created by coming in from two directions around the island. We...More

    If you are looking for a bit of an adventure, make sure you make this one of your stops! Park in the parking lot, but make sure you drive slowly, as there are LOTS of potholes. Leave all unnecessary materials locked in your car unless...More

    Goat Island is an amazing find!

    Drive to the park, walk up the beach, which is beautiful and unpopulated. At first the waves in between the beach and the island seemed a bit intimidating. But my friend and I floated over on our air mattresses. No problem. Once there we stripped...More

    Amazing location

    It is tough to find, but there is a park that you start from. You walk to the island. It is a little tough depending on the season and tide. Once there the white sand beach is relaxing. Fun side trip.

    No crowds and very peaceful.

    The hard part is finding this place. Good luck with that. It's not near the parking lot and you have to walk a bit. There will be no signs to help you. Just head towards the shore and out there in the distance you will...More
