Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Sean CHaleiwa, HI1,361 contributionsYou need to be a HI resident and obtain permit to be able to access this park. Great area for 4X4 access, hikes, and private secluded beaches. You can see whales breaching (in season), sea turtles, dolphins, and plenty of seabirds. Great place to hit the beaches for the day without anyone around you.Written 9 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LJTWinnipeg, Canada86 contributionsStopped here after doing a hike in the area. Lots of beaches along this stretch of the highway, but this one was large and not very busy - just a handful of people/groups spread out down the long sandy beach, most either surfing or watching the surfers. Water was a bit choppy, but in spots was calm enough to swim. Very relaxed vibe here, more locals than we saw other places.Written 13 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CarmenV3Fall City, WA1,258 contributionsThis beach is best enjoyed early in the morning and on weekdays. This is very popular with the locals so if you’re looking for a nice stroll on the beach, best to avoid the crowded times.
We walked the length of this beach, both directions several times during our vacation to the island. I love the views and the sandy shores.Written 29 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The history behind Ku’ilioloa Heiau was explained and the maintenance crew is all voluntary.
We’ve lived on Oahu and return often but this was the first time we’ve seen the Hawaiian Monk Seal.
Don’t miss the newly opened Pokai Bay Restaurant across the road. Their Homemade Ice Cream is the best.Written 28 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We saw where they keep the cheese, and make the butter. We spent a long time feeding the cows. That was definitely the highlight. We also got the feed the sheep, goats, chickens and turkeys. They let our older kids collect eggs from the chickens. We didn't get to see milking which was disappointing but understandable.Written 14 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KenVbisonfanIsanti, MN6 contributionsNicely low key, with only four of us on the tour and an equal number of crew members. Crew was very friendly and personable; their knowledge of the marine wildlife made the trip that much more interesting and we appreciated their willingness to answer any questions we had. We saw humpback whales, both bottle nose dolphins and spinner dolphins, and sea turtles as well as an eagle ray.
Overall, good tour service to go with, definitely recommend!Written 17 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I learned a ton of new tips to improve my baby longboard skills. Very upbeat and great energy. I would highly recommend booking with Danny. Me and my fiancé booked the group lessons and I felt very attended to. Also, important to note, Danny and his crew put safety first at all times and were always on the lookout for our safety. He made sure the wind conditions were appropriate and we surfed in a low key spot. Just go for it! I ended up taking a sick day due to all the sick waves we caught 🌊 Shaka!Written 22 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
