Getting Around
https://www.lorentacar.com
This is an excellent, locally owned car rental company asking fair rates and free transportation to and from the airport. I have had a great experience with them.
Here are some times and distances from our house to local areas of interest:
Waikiki 19 miles/35 minutes,
Haleiwa 14 miles/30 minutes,
Kapolei 12 miles/25 minutes,
Kualoa Ranch 30 miles/50 minutes.
Keep in mind these times are under good traffic conditions. Things slow down considerably during rush hours and in high tourist areas.

This trail is deceptively short but will test your endurance. You will be treated to an excellent view at the top and on a clear day you can see Lanai and Haleakala. The sunrise is excellent.

This is a excellent respite from the busy Manoa Falls trail in the same area. A large area maintained by the University of Hawaii Manoa this arboretum holds many native and indigenous plants. Stop and rest or have a picnic at the sitting spots around the arboretum. Take a light stroll up the main path or hike a couple miles on the more wild paths.
There is no fee to enter here but be sure to leave a generous donation to help maintain this beautiful place.
