Today we spent several hours on a Circle Tour of the island. We went to Hanauma Bay, several other beautiful beaches and lookouts that I lost track of the names of, and the Dole Pineapple Plantation. The tour was a good way to see the island and our guide Steve was very knowledgeable. We also drove past Pearl Harbor, but we're taking a tour there tomorrow. We visited the North Shore, famous for its huge waves. Unfortunately, this is the wrong time of year for the big waves and the water was calm as a bathtub. I did take the kids picture standing in the water of the North Shore though. That was at Sunset Beach. Without the tour, I doubt we would have seen nearly as much of the island. I would have liked more time at the pineapple plantation. The pineapple ice cream was seriously yummy. I also would have liked to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center. However, with our Pearl Harbor tour tomorrow we can't be back in time to catch the shuttle and we have no car. We'd have to rent a car to get there and it is quite a drive from Waikiki where we are staying.t's suggested you plan on at least half a day there as well. Guess I'll just have to plan a return trip to see the things I miss this time around! We fly home Wednesday night. Is our vacation reallyn almost over? It has been an amazing eight days, ten if you count our traveling days.
