Continuing north to Kahuku, you will visit several shrimp farms to see endangered wetland birds, including the black-neck stilt, Hawaiian coot and moorhen. Next stop is world-famous Sunset Beach and Banzai Pipeline, where incredible waves thrill spectators and surfers alike, especially between November and April.
For excellent views of the entire North Shore Oahu coastline, you'll stop at Oahu's largest Hawaiian temple, Pu'u Mahuka Heiau. The temple is scenically situated high on a bluff above Waimea Bay. At Turtle Beach you will stop to observe rare green sea turtles resting on the golden sand.
Traveling south you'll arrive at the colorful and historic village of Haleiwa, home to surfers, artists and craftspeople. After driving through extensive pineapple fields, you will arrive at the sacred Kukaniloko Birthing Stones, "Hawaii's Stonehenge". For 800 years, this special location was the birthplace of the royal chiefs.

Lovely afternoon trip via a beautiful temple, some good beaches, we did see a turtle and home via the dole plantation for some delicious pineapple ice cream. None of the stops too long and all operated very smoothly.
