Travel with the island's premier eco-tour company on an exciting journey of discovery to the famous North Shore of Oahu. Driving over the Koolau Mountains to the windward side, our first stop is the fabled Valley of the Temples where we visit the picturesque Byodo Temple located at the base of stunning 2000 foot lush green cliffs. Then we drive along the scenic shores of Kahana Bay arriving at Laie Point, a great location to observe several native plant and seabird species. Continuing North to Kahuku, we visit several shrimp farms to see endangered wetland birds, including Black-neck stilts, Hawaiian coots and Moorhens. Our next stop is the world famous Sunset Beach and Banzai Pipeline where incredible waves thrill viewers, especially between November and April. Puu O Mahuka heiau, Oahu's largest Hawaiian temple is our next stop. Situated high on a bluff above Waimea Bay, this ancient archeological site is an excellent place to view the entire North Shore coastline. At Turtle Beach we stop to observe rare green sea turtles resting on the golden sand. Traveling South we visit the colorful and historic village of Haleiwa, home to many surfers, artists and craftspeople. After driving through extensive pineapple fields we arrive at the mysterious and sacred Kukaniloko Birthing Stones, "Hawaii's Stonehenge", where royal chiefs of the islands were born for over 800 years.
