DIAMOND HEAD & SOUTHEAST COAST
Cue the
Hawaii Five-0
music and pretend to be a movie star as you cruise past the glam-
orous suburbs of Kahala and Hawaiʻi Kai. The Kalanianaʻole Hwy (Hwy 72) becomes a
slow-and-go coastal drive that swells and dips like the sea itself as it rounds ancient vol-
canic Koko Head. The snorkeling hot spot of Hanauma Bay, hiking trails to the top of
Diamond Head and windy Makapuʻu Point, and Oʻahu's most famous bodysurfing
beaches are all just a short bus ride or drive from Waikiki. Save time for hidden delights
like Shangri La, billionaire Doris Duke's former mansion, now a trove of Islamic art.
