Hiking
Koko head is a little more advanced trail that will get your heart rate up pretty quickly. It is like a stair master that takes about 30-60 minutes depending on your physical fitness level but once you reach the top you will be happy you did it. Be sure to go around the backside of the peak so you can see inside of the crater.

Very nice beach with white powder sand. Can be crowded on the weekends so if you can make it during the week I would recommend going then.

Sightseeing
Beautiful small hidden beach inside a cave. It is a very small space and you are able to swim through the cave. I recommend only to someone who is physically able to carry there own weight and climb up and down a small wall if the ladder is not available. Waves and tides can affect the cave so please exercise safety before going in.
