Looking at Honolulu's topsy-turvy urban sprawl, you would never suspect the windward side existed. It's a secret Oahuans like to keep, so they can watch the awe on the faces of their guests when the car emerges from the tunnels through the mountains and they gaze for the first time on the panorama of turquoise bays and emerald valleys watched over by the knife-edged Koolau ridges. Jaws literally drop. Every time. And this just a 15-minute drive from downtown. It's on this side of the island where many Native Hawaiians live. Evidence of traditional lifestyles is abundant in crumbling fishponds, rock platforms that once were altars, taro patches still being worked, and throw-net fishermen posed stock-still above the water (though today, they're invariably wearing polarized sunglasses, the better to spot the fish). Here the pace is slower, more oriented toward nature. Beachgoing, hiking, diving, surfing, and boating are the draws, along with a visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center, and poking through little shops and wayside stores.

Maunawili Falls Trail Maunawili Falls is a popular hiking destination. Maunawili Valley extends behind the prominent windward peak known as Olomana. Also available is the Maunawili Demonstration Trail, a state-maintained trail that traverses the breadth of upper Maunawili Valley from the Pali Highway to Waimānalo. Maunawili Falls Trail, a 3 mile hike, is accessible from the neighborhood in upper Maunawili. The trail is challenging with deep tree roots, steep man-made stairs, large rocks to cross streams, and often times mud. Vegetation along the trail includes mountain apple, rose apple, ti, naupaka, mamake, lobelia, koa and ohia. The trail offers spectacular views of windward Oahu, Olomana, and the Koolaupoko watershed. Kane'ohe Bay Kāneʻohe Bay is the largest protected body of water in the main Hawaiian Islands. The bay is popular for catamaran sailing, sup surfing, snorkeling and kayaking. There are five named islands or islets within the bay including a popular sand bar. Moku O Loe (Coconut Island), a volcanic remnant located in the southwest part of the bay is the home of the University of Hawaiʻi Pauley-Pagen Laboratory (SOEST).

As an example, the Hawaiian Islands have damp windward sides and drier leeward sides most of the time as a result of the Pacific Ocean's northeasterly trade winds. Windward locations are generally lush and green. Famously sunny beaches like Oahu's Waikiki and Maui's Wailea are found on the islands' more sheltered leeward sides.
