Nico's Kailua is awesome ! The owner is a talented chef serving up seafood entrees that would cost twice as much at a fine dining restaurant. They have a variety of tasty items at the Poke bar . My favorite is Furikake poke . Full service bar there too .

Parks & Nature
Lanikai means "Heavenly Sea" and you will understand the meaning once you arrive. Lanikai is just a little past Kailua beach park over a slight hill. At the top of you already can see two Mokulua islands just off shore. Skip past beach access 1 and 2 because it's just rocky reef. Beach access 3-7 are best. Pristine warm water,powder fine sand with Mokulua islands in the background is why Lanikai beach so popular.

Sightseeing
Lanikai Pillbox hike is steep at begining so wear good shoes and some water. The rest of hike is easy about 30 minutes. At the top is two cement bunkers functioned as Coast Artillery observation stations in 1943. So it was built to have the best view point. For that reason many visitors hike for the best picture opportunity on the island.

I used to hike Maunawili Falls frequently growing up in Kailua. Not many visitors knew of this trail back then. Now it has become a very popular hike for tourists. The 2 mile trail is well marked and maintained by the city and county. The trail is very rough and muddy in areas and you will be crossing the stream. It's a very beautiful rain forrest hike the waterfall is awesome. You can easily climb up and jump off waterfall at several different heights into pool below.
