RV rental Laie, HI: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

For such a small island, there's lots to see and do near Laie. Mokuleia, Makua Keaau and Ewa Forest Reserves, and Oahu Forest National Wildlife are just four parks out of many. Pupukea-Paumalu Forest Reserve, located on the island's north end, is a good place to start before heading south. There are trails for hiking and mountain biking; cyclists can download a map to their smartphones, while hikers should get the trail map (a paper one) before heading out. Waimea Bay Beach Park is a good place to dip your toes in the ocean. It's calm in the summer and offers great swimming and a 20-foot cliff that people can jump off of. Dolphins and turtles can be seen here and you could wind up swimming with the turtles. It can be popular and crowded, depending on the season and the day of the week. In winter, the surf turns rough and swimming isn't advised. Surfers come here year round and especially in the winter, to ride the larger waves. Park your Laie travel trailer rental close by to help relax when it's time to take a break. Surfers also enjoy Sunset Beach, Banzai Pipeline and Three Tables Beach. Sunset Beach is best for winter surfing, while the waves at Three Tables fizzle out before reaching the shore due to a reef farther out and shallow water closer in. Three Tables is also good for swimming and snorkeling but only in summer; tourists should remember this beach has riptides and should use caution. Banzai Pipeline is an iconic spot, drawing professional surfers as well as local surfers and onlookers. The best waves at Banzai are also in the winter.
