Built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer and spanning over 400 acres, the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden is a picturesque area to get lost in while learning about the tropical plant life.

There wasn’t much of a blowhole to checkout, but the beach cove was gorgeous! As seen in the James Bond movie, “From Here to Eternity”, the beach cove is also known as “Eternity Beach”.
Woke up early to beat the crowds to Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve and snorkel for a few hours under the hot Hawaiian sun. Gets even better when admission and parking is free!
Enjoyed an early morning hike up to Makapu’u Point using the Makapu’u Point Lighthouse Trail. Unfortunately, the part of the trail that leads to the lighthouse was closed off. Still a great hike with wonderful views!
For the remainder of our vacation, we decided to stay at an Airbnb that went right up against Waimanalo Beach. It was finally time to start experiencing the real Hawaii!
Making our way to Waimanalo with a stop at Makapu’u Lookout. Breathtaking views of Makapu’u Beach Park, Waimanalo Beach in the distance, and a couple of islands out in the ocean waters!
