A popular tourist destination in Hawaii is Diamond Head, it is a great place to hike if you want an amazing view at the top but be warned... everyone in Waikiki goes here so it can be quite busy! Diamond Head was formed from volcanic eruptions and looks like a huge crater from a birds eye view. We parked our Jeep at the national park and made our way to Diamond Head:
It was a really steep hike in some parts and my claustrophobia started to set in when entering the tunnel:
But it was all worth it in the end because of this incredible view of Waikiki!
After hiking Diamond Head (which took about 1.5hrs) we drove to Manoa Falls Park to hike the muddy trail to the waterfall! For all you "Lost" fans out there they filmed the scenes with the polar bear cages in this area..
It was a very quiet and relaxing hike, not too strenuous except when you are trying to avoid falling straight on your ass because of the mud. Lots of beautiful sites to see along the trail.
Here are Zak and I at the waterfall, we had to cross barriers to get a good picture but it was well worth the danger! :-P
The next day we went to the Kona Brewery to drink some AWESOME beer and eat lunch. It wasnt the main brewery (which is located on the Big Island) but I still wouldnt miss out on the smaller version of Kona in Oahu. Yum..
Thanks for reading!!! xxx
