Everyone knows that the beauty of Hawaii is abundant. Tourists flock from all areas of the world to come visit and see what beauty nature has provided the island with. One of the greatest ways for visitors to enjoy all of the scenery is through guided tours on horseback, since it allows them to venture off the roadways and heavily populated areas where they will be able to explore history. On Oahu, this is even easier and there are guides dedicated to giving horseback riding adventures that visitors will never forget.
Explore Oahu
Oahu is not the largest Hawaiian island, but it is certainly the most well known and visited. It is home to both Honolulu and Pearl Harbor. It is an island that nearly 900,000 people live on and annually, there are more than 4.5 million visitors who come to explore the island’s culture, history, and beauty. You also can take part in viewing all that it has to offer, but many say that because of the crowds; you should take an off the road approach to seeing all of its beauty or take the time to spend a little of your time exploring each of the different regions of this majestic island.
The Areas You Can Explore
If you visit Haleiwa Town, you will find a lot of history since most of it remains as it was first established by missionaries in the year of 1932. All total, Oahu is divided into five different regions and each one will provide you with something new to explore. These regions are the Windward Coast, Central Oahu, Honolulu, the Leeward Coast, and the best surfing spot on the island; the North Shore. The Windward Coast is where you will find scenic panoramas and history can be found everywhere, though most history enthusiasts choose to explore Central Oahu where Pearl Harbor is located along with its memorials of the fateful day that started World War II.
Horse Riding Adventure
In Hawaii, especially on this island, there is ancient stone heiau (temples) and newer high rises that come together in the city. This gives the entire island a special appeal in itself, but it is off the beaten path where you will find so much more. There are all types of hidden gems that are waiting to be explored by those who are willing to leave the “civilization” behind. It is outside of the city and away from the beaches that you will find areas like Waimea Falls, Manoa Falls, and Diamond Head (Leahi), which is a crater that was built in 1908 by the US Army. In these areas, horseback or hiking is the way to explore them to the fullest. There are some who also say that if you love horseback riding, you can also reap the rewards of taking a horseback ride along the famous Waikiki Beach. Where you tour and what you will discover depends on where you are going to be exploring on the island, since all areas of it are so drastically different.
