Gorgeous Adventures

One morning we got up and hiked Diamond Head. It wasn't a long hike, we used it as our workout and tried to do it quickly, but it wasn't easy either.

There were a lot of stairs. About 300 steps I heard them say.

And there was a tunnel to go through. On the way up it was totally dark and I couldn't see the light at the other end. It was actually scary. The thought of being in the middle of the mountain and how it could collapse at any time. I can probably thank Hollywood for those thoughts and all the new exploring movies!

But when we got to the top, it was gorgeous! Off one side you could Waikiki, and the other side was a more remote park of the island. We even saw some whales in the water.

After leaving Diamond Head, we came across this scenic area and stopped to check it out. It was different with the rocks and cliffs and waves breaking over them. It was really pretty, in a different way than the white sand.

Then we were on to Haunama Bay. It is actually a wildlife reserve for the reef that is there. Almost the whole Bay is covered in reef. You had to be careful where you swam because it would get shallow on top of the corral real quick. We went snorkeling and even saw a sea turtle! That was my goal. I really wanted to see one, and was so excited! We spent some time on the beach between swimming and really enjoyed our time there.
