Hawaiian Adventure - Day 2 & 3

On the second day, we went Wai'anae boat harbor to start our ocean adventure.we got on a boat and enjoyed sailing for a while till we got to our destination which was a "Turtle wash" where sea turtles go and get their backs cleaned on rocks, we went snorkeling to see them and got to watch their behavior. It was a really nice and enjoyable experience. Then we got on the boat again, our next destination was dolphins!

We kept on sailing till we spotted dolphins, they were swimming net to us and jumping in the water and spinning in the air. It was fantastic!


That was not all, things got even better when we stopped the boat and went snorkeling for the second time, but this time swimming with the dolphins. There were so many of them and you could see the baby dolphins swimming next to their mommies and practicing their jumps spinning in the air... That was the highlight of the day!

Day three was a very nice day as we started it off by heading to Hanauma bay for another different experience of snorkeling. Here it was the opposite of what we did the previous day as the water was very shallow and there is more fish. It was very relaxed and calm, all we had to do is float and enjoy the reef and the various kinds of fish and eel swimming with you, not even bothering to move away as if you are one of them.

After that we went to a nice restaurant for lunch and dessert, and then we got ready for the second adventure for the day which was hiking the Le'ahi (Diamond head) crater.

It was a very nice moderate hike. We stopped a few times on the way up to take some pictures of the gorgeous panoramic views of the ocean, the island and Coco head crater. The hike down was very easy and breezy, the wind was very refreshing as we came to the end of the adventures of our day.

Hawaii Adventure - Day 1

Zena, our Jordan specialist, is in Hawaii learning about Hawaiian adventure vacations. She is from our office in Jordan. These are her reports from Oahu.


Day 1:
It was a really beautiful morning at the Waikiki beach, we had breakfast and we started our adventure by heading to Pu'u Ohi'a for a 5 mile downhill bike ride which was really amazing as the views and the scenery we got to experience were absolutely fantastic! We took a break before reaching the bottom of the hill where we got to have lunch with a fantastic view of the city and Waikiki Beach.

After that we went to hike in the O'ahu volcanic rain forest which is on private property and is leased to the hike and bike company. On this hike we got to see many kinds of tropical plants and flowers, huge veins hanging down from trees, a poison dart frog and much more... then, we finally reached the amazing waterfall we were supposed to see which is 200 feet high, so we took a break and had some fresh passion fruit and started off on the way back. But we took a different trail, It was the Bamboo trail which was mostly thousands and thousands of bamboo trees which we were walking through. It was so much fun going through that trail as we started suggesting names for it, I called it "The ape trail" as some of us got in touch with the inner child within us as we were leaning and grabbing on to the bamboo trees for support in order not to slide in the mud while hiking down, so we felt like apes or Tarzan. A woman suggested the name "The Hula skirt trail" as the bamboo tree roots look like a Hula skirt and there were so many exposed so it looked like Hula skirts everywhere!

We finally reached the end of our adventure for the day, went back to the hotel to get some rest and charge up for the next adventure.
