Haiku Gardens
A more meditative place is hard to imagine than Haiku Gardens, a little valley containing a lily pond, an abundance of fragrant tropical flowers and lots of birdsong. The gardens, cradled by the Ko'olau Range, are picture perfect. The path starts at the side of Hale'iwa Joe's restaurant and takes only about 15 minutes down and back.

Koko Crater
One of the tallest and best-preserved tuff cones, Koko Crater now supports a small county botanical garden planted with plumeria, oleander and cacti and other dryland species. According to Hawaiian legend, Koko Crater is the imprint left by the vagina of Pele's sister Kapo, which was sent here from the Big Island to lure the pig-god Kamapua'a away from Pele (the volcano goddess).
