One of the "best places to snorkel" on Oahu is in Hanauma Bay. It is a curved bay formed within a volcanic cone that has been very popular for many years. It has a great reef area that attracts some really beautiful fish and is extremely popular- ~3,000 visitors a day (& that is what they close it off to). We left our cameras in the car, so I'm including an aerial picture taken from google images. If you are in Oahu- you should definitely go once- you see an incredible variety of beautiful fish. However, I think I prefer our snorkeling at Shark's Cove- it's MUCH less crowded, it's free, and overall, it's just a more fun overall experience.

Afterwards- some more exploring of the volcanic cliffs overlooking the ocean.

| This goes all the way through to the other side of the highway. Love the rock layers! |
And, how can I not include our new buddy from Waikiki? This guy was sitting at a bar at the Hilton when we walked by- it was difficult not to be stunned. Then, he passed by us walking the shoreline with a frontal view- oh my. Never have I seen anyone in such a skimpy g-string. We then had to pass him on our way home- as Spencer's dad often says, "sometimes, you can see too much."

Ewww, now you know to bring Caviwipes to the beach so you can wipe down seats!
