Pacific Blue
Today the family had a nice hike up Diamond Head to enjoy the views of the Hawaiian Pacific blue.
The hike this time around was with the kids, and we made it in about 30 minutes - only 10 minutes longer than what it took just us adults last year. I highly recommend this hike for anyone who visits Oahu. Start early!

Maunawili Falls
Besides watching the turtles, seals, playing at the beach surfing, snorkeling, collecting shells, heading into town to eat shave ice, or having fun on the North Shore doing all of the other things available, we love to hike.
Maunawili Falls is about 25 minutes from Honolulu up Pali Hwy, and a gem of a hike for the whole family. After going through about 45 minutes of following a trail that crosses a stream a few times, takes you over boulders and through the ups and downs of a dirt trail, you’re presented with a beautiful waterfall which is a blast to jump off of into a deep pool. Even the kids got into it!
It happens to also be the waterfall featured in Jason Mraz’s, "I’m Yours" video. Check it out on YouTube from 1:49.
