What to expect

1

Diamond Head State Monument

This iconic Waikiki landmark was formed 300,000 years ago when the volcano erupted. As these materials settled, they cemented together into a rock called tuff, creating the crater. Your guide will explain the geologic and military history of the world famous Diamond Head Crater while you enjoy the view of surfers in the waves. Learn about some of the history of these beautiful homes surrounding this impressive landmark. (No strenuous summit hike.)

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve

This iconic bay is a highlight for many in Hawaii. Your guide will talk about the geologic formation of the bay, the coral reef and the environmental impact. Your group will have an opportunity to take pictures of the bay.

Halona Blowhole

At the Halona Blowhole (meaning peering place or place to lookout), water can shoot up to 30 feet into the air. The reason the water shoots into the air here is due to small caves along the coast with an opening at the top. During the winter we may view whales along the coast. On a clear day we can see Lanai, Maui and Kahoolawe.
