Food to eat before hiking on Oahu
If you’re hiking on Oahu, the best pre-hike meal is simple: carbs for energy, some protein for staying power, and enough hydration to start strong.
Hiking Hawaii Cafe is in Waikiki (lower lobby of the DoubleTree Alana). We’re open daily 6:45am-1:30pm.
Quick pre-hike picks (easy, filling)
- Breakfast Burrito - a full meal that travels well
- Avocado Toast - satisfying without feeling heavy
- Chia Oatmeal - steady energy and easy on the stomach
- Acai Bowl - light but energizing
- Drip Coffee - simple caffeine before an early start
Timing tips
- 60-120 minutes before: eat a real breakfast (burrito, toast, oatmeal)
- 15-45 minutes before: keep it light (acai bowl, smoothie)
