Best done on Week Days to find parking. There are only 182 public stalls at Ko Olina and that includes the handicap stalls.
This is the sixth of a series of caches that I'm calling the "PEANUT BUTTER" series because the coastal ones will all be in small peanut butter jars. I want to lure people out to the Leeward side of O`ahu, to me the most beautiful side of the island.
A few will be in “lush” Wai`anae Valley. Yes “lush” Wai`anae! The very back of the valley is a “rain forest” and not a desert, it is also owned by the State of Hawaii. There are a number of trails that to the average hiker on O`ahu are unknown. I hope to change the view of Wai`anae in the minds of those that have never been here or have spent little time on the coast.
To reach this cache drive out to the Ko`olina Resort and park as close to Lagoon 4 as you can. Parking is limited so your best chance is during the week. There are 101 stall at this lagoon. The lagoons are very popular on weekends. Day light hours are enforced by the Ko`olina staff.
Once you park just follow your GPS. The cache is NOT on Ko`olina property, but on the public owned shore line. I hope it is high enough to stay dry if the surf comes up. As you look south you will see the Barber’s Point/Kalaeloa Deep Draft Harbor, not an inspirational view. Looking north the view is OUTSTANDING. The above coordinates were taken w/the GPS sitting right on top of the cache.
Bring your swim suit and perhaps a snorkel. No not to find the cache, but to enjoy the lagoons you will pass on your way to the cache. The jar is small, but you might be able to put in a travel bug if it’s small. You probably have peanut butter at home so experiment.
Enjoy and watch out for muggles!
