Mokoliʻi (Chinaman's Hat) & O'ahu Mountains

avatar
@vincelimphoto
If you're up for an adventure, this island off of the east side of Oahu is an incredible experience! Paddle out on a board or kayak as you soak in the sun, swim in the clear turquoise waters and capture an aerial perspective of the uniquely-named, 12-acre basalt islet. (before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)
