The rise of Oahu's food truck culture began in the late 2000s, but the North Shore has long been a destination for roadside dining. Giovanni's Shrimp Truck, established in 1993, was one of the first trucks to kickstart the food truck phenomenon, offering a modern twist to Hawaii’s diverse culinary heritage. Now, there are hundreds of food trucks offering delicious plates from fish tacos, fresh island poke, spicy pineapple shrimp, smash burgers, Thai food, Korean kalbi, coconut shrimp, and much more.

Waimea Valley has been a sacred area for Native Hawaiians for over 700 years, serving as a site for religious ceremonies and healing.

Its waters were believed to have restorative powers, and today, visitors can swim in the same pool that ancient Hawaiians once revered.

The shores of Laniakea have long been home to Hawaii's green sea turtles (honu), but in recent decades, they began basking on land. This behavior became common around the 1990s, and today Laniakea Turtle Beach is a protected spot where visitors can respectfully view these ancient creatures—whose ancestors date back over 150 million years.

The macadamia nut tree was introduced to Hawaii in 1881, with commercial production beginning in the 1920s.
