Today in Hawaii 6/26/20: Halona Blowhole, Lanai Lookout, and Maunalua Bay

Aloha folks, my mission objective was to simply topple Lanai lookout. Something I've been wanting to do for years. First off:

Halona Blowhole (and sunrise)


 


Nice view of Sandy beach as we also await the sun to rise.
I did my best to catch a spouting blowhole but this was the best shot I captured.






Phases

 


 

Lanai Lookout

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 

It is quite a trek downward and back, so please be careful and wear good shoes, preferably one with treads. The waves are fierce so please don't get close to the currents. By the time you get to the Ihiihilauakea bridge, its a nice view. There is some graffiti as you inspect the bridge up close. Its a quick hike but once again, be safe and take care of yourself. Take it slow if anything.

Lanai lookout is actually about half a mile back from the blowhole, heading townbound.

*I knew of this location mainly due to a scene filmed in the Karate Kid II *



Maunalua Bay

So I randomly chose this spot. This site is supposedly famous for paddleboarding and surfing. Most of the people I encountered were fishing mainly. You can see a small beach which is Kuliouou beach park from here on the right side of the bay. Near that beach is a basketball court which is visible from the bay but maybe I'll visit it all next time.

Have a nice day folks and thanks for visiting. I hope to see you soon in my next (random) photo- op.

Without it, you can't do any of these activities from 600AM to 4PM. Good luck in getting one. It gets you all amped up trying to get one. Remember, that you need this pass along with the annual national park pass/or $35 pass that is good for 7 days. Add that to the top of your anxiety.* Logan Pass Hike (very popular area. I came at 800AM and got the last parking stall.) Mountain Goats or Rams sighted along with Chipmunks.

Thank God for a good day in Waikiki Oct 5, 2020

  What a better way to start your two week vacation? Yep, a staycation thanks to your government locking you up even denying you the chance to do inter-island traveling. Thank the Lord for my profession for I was able to secure a free night at the Outrigger; there was a promotion for health care professions that allowed you to get a night free only at the Outrigger. 2nd night and beyond at a first responder discount rate. Wish more hotels did this. Anyhow, let's get started. Yeah, Waikiki was like this Dinner and aftermath Moana Surfrider That was it. Had dinner with the family and my nephew. Just walked around a quiet Waikiki to take pics of the hearts all over. 2nd night coming soon. Thank you Lord Jesus for a good day.
