Things to do in Wahiawa
Wahiawā is a Central Oʻahu town surrounded by farmland, in the saddle between the Waiʻanae and Koʻolau ranges, on the way to the North Shore. Pineapple fields once covered the land around town; smaller farms now grow sugar cane, cacao, produce, honey and pineapple. Kamehameha Highway is the main street, with family markets, coffee shops and bakeries.
