On the south side of the island, Ulu Pua is close to a surfing school, world class golf courses, beautiful beaches for swimming and snorkeling, resorts and restaurants, and a harbor where snorkel and whale-watching boats conduct regular ocean tours. The area offers wonderful experiences for nature lovers including hiking in tropical forests, the world famous Waimea Canyon, and the world's highest swamp, the Alakai Swamp. The National Botanical Gardens, where scenes from 'Jurassic Park' were filmed is two miles distant. A two minute walk from Ulu Pua can allow one to see sea turtles, porpoises, monk seals, whales and a wide variety of birds.
