Touring the Windward Coast 0f O'ahu

As we continue on along the windward coast Top picture is Halona Blowhole in the area where you see the spray. The video shows much better but I'm not waiting all night for the video to upload - you'll just have to come visit us or go to HI yourselves to see it.

Second picture is Mokoli'i island probably seen from some beach along the Kaneohe Bay or possibly from the Kualoa beach park area.

I think the mountains in the back ground of the next three pictures are the Koolau Range.

The coral was seen along the same beach in front of the mountains.

I am not sure where the kite-sail boarders were.

The last two pictures were from close to the north tip of the windward coast.

More Hawaii - Excursion on the windward side of O'ahu


Friday Nov. 20, 2009 Jim and Myrna took us sightseeing on the windward coast of O'ahu. the first point of interest was the beautiful Hanauma Bay on the south east tip of the island. There is a lovely park overview of the bay. Many folks were snorkeling in the bay - they say it is one of the best places to do so - but they charge quite a bit and since this day was for sightseeing none of us went snorkeling. The little animal was one of the few fur-bearing wildlife that we saw on the whole trip. He and some friends were scavenging the garbage bags.
