Akaka Falls State Park, Honomu
The Akaka Falls State Park on the Big Island’s northeastern Hamakua Coast is home to two of the island’s most popular waterfalls – Akaka Falls and Kahuna Falls. A beautiful 0.4-mile loop trail leads through the park, through a lush rainforest filled with bamboo groves, tropical flowers and ferns to the two waterfalls. First up on this short hike will be the 100-foot Kahuna Falls, which will already make you curious to see the much larger, 442-foot Akaka Falls around the corner, which plummets from a cliff down into a pool of water below. You won’t be able to reach the ...
Kaneohe Bay Sandbar
The Kaneohe Sandbar, also known as Ahu o Laka, is a popular picnicking spot among local Oahu residents, particularly among those who have a boat or access to a boat or kayak. It’s the only sandbar of this kind in Hawaii. The sandbar is located in Kaneohe Bay. During low tide, it emerges and forms a shallow and temporary land.

Most boaters anchor in the shallow sand and let their boats float in the deep waters ...

Downtown Honolulu is a busy business center. Many Hawaii business offices are located here. Downtown Honolulu is busy during the week and calm on the weekend, when almost all businesses and public restaurants are closed. The downtown area is definitely worth a visit.

Visit the Hawaii State Library and Honolulu Hale and much more. Below are some photos of Downtown Honolulu. Enjoy! [nggallery id=10]
Waimanalo Beach Park
Waimanalo Beach Park is the longest white-sand beach on Oahu, located on the island's east shore. Spanning over a distance of three miles, Waimanalo Beach is a great spot for swimming, bodyboarding, kayaking and barbecuing. It is never crowded even on the weekends. On a clear day the beach looks better than on a postcard! The water is azure blue and crystal clear. There are many trees along the shore providing plenty of shade. The only disadvantage of Waimanalo Beach is that there are many broken glass pieces hidden in the sand and grass, so be aware of that and don't ...
