Waimea Canyon DrivePoipu is a day trip. We always go down early afternoon and have lunch than some snorkeling on the beach across from Brennekes. Try and stay until sunset so you can watch the turtles swim to shore. They're so beautiful.

Great, low intensity hike. About 3.5 miles round trip. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Pretty flat the whole way. This is a must DO while on the island.
