You step from soft sand onto polished teak as the boat casts off from Waikiki, trade winds pushing the bow toward headlands and hidden bays. The ocean dares you to look up as cliffs peel away into green ridgelines and reefs flash beneath the surface like coins. Over the next 7–8 hours, the island unfolds in alternating chapters of surf-bronzed coastline and calm inland gardens.
