We flew on Air Ventures tour around Kauai and it was absolutely breathtaking. We saw the Waimea Canyon and Napali coastline it was beautiful. The Hanalei valley had bunch of waterfalls. I recommend this to everyone. Our pilot Harry gave us an incredible and very informative tour. I recommend doing this tour early in your vacation because he gives you alot of specific kauai information. Such as were to go and what to see.
USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park's mission is to restore and preserve the WWII submarine USS Bowfin (SS-287). Bowfin Park's parent organization, the Pacific Fleet Submarine Memorial Association (PFSMA), is a non-profit group that receives no state or federal funding. The museum includes an extensive look at the fascinating history of submarines from the first daring attempt in 1776 to use a submersible in warfare to the feats of today's nuclear submarines. The submarine provides an opportunity for visitors to go below deck aboard this National Historic Landmark, the Famous World War II submarine, USS Bowfin (SS-287). Launched on December 7, 1942, she was nicknamed the "Pearl Harbor Avenger" and sank 44 enemy ships during the course of her nine extraordinary war patrols. The Waterfront Memorial stands in silent tribute to the 52 American submarines and the more than 3,500 submariners...
Add more depth to your visit in Hawaii by taking the Atlantis Submarine! I was claustrophobic for some reason. However, I survived getting inside a submarine and go down below the ocean about 124 feet! As the submarine dove down, we saw the sunken WWII era navy tanker.We saw the undersea world as our submarine sled down at the bottom of the sea. There were artificial reefs over there now home of thousands of fish and marine life. The fee for adult is $84.00 and $42.00 for children. The tour departs hourly at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
We drove to the summit of Haleakala volcano on Maui, 10,023 ft (3055 m) high, has been dormant since the mid-1700s. Its crater, 2,720 ft (829 m) deep with an area of 19 sq mi (49 sq km), is one of the largest in the world. The rare silversword plants were memorable as were native and migratory birds are found in the park. We saw handgliders, bikers, and some riding horseback down from the volcano.
...on Maui.If you do the sunrise drive to the top of Haleakalâ, you are rolling the dice. You never know if you'll get a clear view of the sunrise or, like we had on a previous trip, be greeted by heavy cloud cover. We chose not to do a sunrise trip this time. When we saw it was clear after sunrise, we drove up here.It's cold up here. Even with the sun shining brightly, if you're a Florida native like me, you'll need a heavy shirt and/or jacket with heavy pants. It was very evident which tourists running around up here were from northern climates: they were in shorts! Oh, by the way, if you found a man's wedding band up here, it's probably mine. It's a size 11 with well worn etching. Because it's cold up here, my fingers were contracted and the ring was fitting loose. I noticed the loose fit once. Sometime after getting back down to sea level, I noticed that it was gone. So, if you found...
Went there 2 times: gorgeous place!!! Had a lot of fun. Brused my knees though, cause the water level was not too high and the sharp reef was everywhere.

The best way to see all of island - there are many companies - we used HeliUSA on the north side of the island. Everyone was very nice and the views are breathtaking. It was a bit on the expensive side but completely worth it. This was schedule for the first day of my trip and it gave me a good idea of what else I wanted to see.
We got up early to go whale watching with the Pacific Whale Foundation. We saw several whales, but the most magnificent was a large male breaching {jumping out of the water} 4 times, then a baby whale breaching 2 times, all fairly close to our boat!
A symbollic landmark, Diamond Head is a 760 foot high extinct crater that is so-called because 19th century sailors mistook volcanic glass rocks for the real gem. This natural promontory was sacred to Hawaiians - who know it as Leahi. The crate rim was an important point in the 19th and 20th century fortification system set up to defend Honolulu. The main purpose of the bunkered installations atop the crater's seaward rims were to scout for intruders and to direct battery fire from artillery parks at Fort DeRussy - next to the Hilton Hawaiian Village o nthe west end of Waikiki - and Fort Ruger - located just east of Diamond Head.You can either walk or drive into the crater from the inland side through a tunnel. $5 for a car and $1 per walker. A 0.75 mile trail winds up from the car park to the top from where you can see all of southeastern Oahu. The view over Waikiki is especially...
The beauty of this park can be experienced on both a grand scale and and a more human scale. The unique geology of this park is stunning. Mountains rise up on both sides of the narrow valley. The Wailuku river tumbles over boulders both small and large as it heads toward the sea. All the water comes from rain fall on the extinct volcano above called Puu Kukui.
