Founder, Reda,  recently took his family on an unforgettable journey to the breathtaking North Shore of Hawaii, where they stayed for an extended period. The 12-hour time difference turned his work schedule into a nighttime routine. During our virtual meetings, we typically saw him in a softly lit room, surrounded by darkness, but sometimes we were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the area before sundown. Naturally, our curiosity got the best of us, and we had to ask for his recommendations. Here are Reda’s must-visits on the North Shore of Hawaii.

Sunrise Shack at Sunset Beach, the original location

This vibrant, laid-back spot is the original location of the now-famous Sunrise Shack. Known for its bright yellow facade and coffee, it’s the perfect place to start your day.

Sweet Land Farm in Waialua, Oahu

A peaceful retreat away from the crowds, this family-owned goat farm left a lasting impression on Reda. A peaceful retreat from the busier tourist spots, where you can learn more about sustainable farming at the same time. Apparently, there’s even a cow that thinks it’s a goat.

Farm to Barn, located in Haleiwa

Farm to Barn offers a true farm-to-table experience, serving up dishes crafted from the freshest local ingredients. It’s a place where you can savor the taste of the island, surrounded by the beauty of nature. 

Banana Bread Company, Makua location

Tucked away near Makua, this spot is a haven for banana bread lovers. The banana bread is baked fresh daily and each loaf is a flavorful blend of locally sourced bananas with secret spices. 

Gunstock Ranch 

Whether you’re into horseback riding or want to do an eco-tour, Gunstock Ranch offers an authentic Hawaiian experience. Reda recommends it for the scenic rides through the countryside and the chance to see the island from a different perspective.
