You then put in the trays for an hour or more which is also fine. I usually would watch TV or Youtube videos.

(*Note, my normal routine is remove makeup, wash face, moisturize and brush teeth all that takes under 10 minutes). Like I honestly had to plan out my night when I was going to whiten. Let's say that I go to bed at 9 (I'm a grandma I know haha!) that means by 7 I need to start this process and that means I need to eat dinner at 6. But some nights I'm not home from work till close to 5:30 but then I still have to figure something out for dinner\/make it so that cuts into my dinner time which cuts into my teeth whitening time which cuts into my sleep which makes me a zombie. I just didn't like that I had to schedule out my night just so I could whiten my teeth and it just wasn't convenient. Since it did take so long I only whitened about twice a week because that's all I had time for and only did it for one week.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\u003Ccenter\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\u003Ccenter\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003EBUT with that being said I did notice a difference between my teeth before and after using them twice for that week.

It cost me around $900 roundtrip which was the most I'd ever spent on a flight but I mean I was going to Fiji and I did buy it 3 week before I left so you could probably get it cheaper. We did have meals and drinks included as well as one personal item like a backpack and one checked bag. The meals were pretty good, we had dinner and breakfast along with snacks during the middle. The flight was almost 12 hours long which is the longest I've ever flown but wasn't too bad. Since it was a red eye I slept like 3\/4 of it and was only really away for the beginning, the food and the ending part.

I knew that while I was there I wanted to get a massage and treat myself to a spa day. The second day we were there it was rainy\/dreary out so it was the perfect day to spend a few hours at the spa relaxing. There was five \"steps\" to our spa day. The first was to put away our stuff and get dressed in robes and slippers. Next was the relaxation room where we had lemon water and could relax before our massage. After was the \"prep\" room where we showered, sat in the sauna (amazing), the hot tub (I could have lived there) and then finished with an ice shower. Once we did all that it was time for our massage. I got just a basic coconut oil massage which ran me $90USD. It was an hour long and absolutely dreamy. So wonderful I fell asleep like 10 minutes in. After we headed back to the \"prep\" room to shower, sauna and sit in the hot tub for a bit. After we got dressed and headed back to the room.

Our room was about 20 feet from the beach and we could walk out directly to it which was so nice when you had a stroller and lots of beach bags. The beach itself was filled with seashells and pieces of coral which was so fun to walk and look for cool shells but it was not nice on your feet. We had to wear flip flops when we walked on it or else our feet would have been tore up. Since it was so shell-y you couldn't really lay out on the beach :( But that's okay cause we had the little cabana things at the pool. The water was sooo warm and just felt amazing. It wasn't very deep at all and I could wade out to the reefs and still touch (I'm 5'1\" for reference).

Fiji is a third world country and many of it's citizens are very poor. I had never been to a third world country but I wanted to see and experience how these people live. The resort offered guided tours that lasted a few hours and took us to the village and showed us around their community. It was $15USD per person for the afternoon. The guide was an employee of the resort and who lived in the village who walked with us to the village, a couple miles from the resort. Once we got to the village a community member was our tour guide and showed us around. It moved me to the point of tears seeing how these people live. In filthy conditions for shacks for homes and a handful of possessions. But they were so happy. Not a single person we passed wasn't smiling or saying \"bula\" (hello in Fijian). The kids were so happy following us around and waving. At the end they took us to their community hall and we had kava, a traditional Fijian drink and the community leaders led us in song and dance. It was one of the most profound experiences of my life and one that I will never forget. It reminded me that we have it so well here in the States and we should be immensely grateful for all we have. It was a nice reality check if you will. If you ever go to Fiji I highly recommend taking a village tour.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003EFire Show\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Ccenter\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-YgMgtGxIXIU\/WIf6JM3DcgI\/AAAAAAAAJk4\/rTKoeguhVN89hEoZ5R-DMGG9KVJ_o4SaQCEw\/s1600\/firedancers.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-YgMgtGxIXIU\/WIf6JM3DcgI\/AAAAAAAAJk4\/rTKoeguhVN89hEoZ5R-DMGG9KVJ_o4SaQCEw\/s400\/firedancers.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003EDuring our stay in the evenings on some nights there would be a fire show\/dance performance that show cased Fijian dance.

I had never been horseback riding on the beach so we thought why not. It was pretty cheap, around $15USD for an hour and when in Fji, right? I have experience riding horses coming from Kansas and having 3 so I'm no stranger to them or to riding but this was a whole different experience. For one the horses were skinnnny, much skinnier than I am use to seeing horses, the saddles were old and worn English saddles that had seen better days and blankets under and on top of them for padding. The \"bridles\" were rope tied to a bit. I felt bad getting on the horse because I felt like I was going to break him :( The ride was okay, not great and then it started to rain on us so we had to cut the ride short. Overall it was not a great experience and I wouldn't do it again unless it was with a more professional outpost.

We had a personal item like a backpack or tote and a carry-on like a weekender or small suitcase free of charge and shared a large suitcase that we checked for $25. Included in our ticket price was drinks, snacks and a meal. On the way to Hawaii we had a pretty good pasta meal and on the way back we had a chicken dish which wasn't bad. The flight itself was nice with in-flight entertainment available (I slept most of it to be honest), the seats weren't bad either.

We had never used an airport shuttle before so once we got our bags I called the number and the service rep was super helpful in explaining how it worked and where to be. Within a few minute our shuttle arrived, one of the bus ones, and the driver helped us load our bags. There was only one other couple on there so it was basically like a private shuttle. Our driver was super nice and friendly and chatted all about Hawaii and the different things to do. Our shuttle from the hotel to the airport wasn't a bus this time but a taxi cab van. The driver was pleasant but didn't talk to us at all and basically dropped us off and then drove away. It didn't impair our experience at all but just thought I'd share.

It's Asian inspired, family style dishes that are freaking amazing. Since we had a big party we got several and split the bill among us. They are famous for their fried rice so obviously we ordered that along with pork chops, shrimp scampi, teryaki chicken, chicken katsu and a side of garlic bread. Their fried rice was the best I've ever eaten. I honestly could have just eaten that and been so happy. The pork chops were a little dry and the chicken alright, the katsu was the better of the two chicken dishes. The garlic bread was also really good so if you like rice and bread order those two and your belly will thank you.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-EbueyLCQekw\/WCVZGgiZSCI\/AAAAAAAAJas\/Ek8OC6P-y_osiiZKc4AfvWTLmaIttZ2mACLcB\/s1600\/IMG_5677.JPG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-EbueyLCQekw\/WCVZGgiZSCI\/AAAAAAAAJas\/Ek8OC6P-y_osiiZKc4AfvWTLmaIttZ2mACLcB\/s400\/IMG_5677.JPG\" width=\"400\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-a7c2lMtAMoQ\/WCP1joUtpBI\/AAAAAAAAJWc\/n7kD22iqYJg3q8PgE9tJc4Ld1mdIPafdACLcB\/s1600\/hole%2Bin%2Brock.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-fUTAIq73ejQ\/WCP1oKTgtwI\/AAAAAAAAJXY\/Ll2FmAFkYBMD-BOS3qTMRaWy93odKvcZACEw\/s1600\/malasadas.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-fUTAIq73ejQ\/WCP1oKTgtwI\/AAAAAAAAJXY\/Ll2FmAFkYBMD-BOS3qTMRaWy93odKvcZACEw\/s400\/malasadas.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Cb\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/leonardshawaii.com\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: magenta;\"\u003ELeonard's Bakery\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E:\u003C\/b\u003E (\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;\"\u003E933 Kapahulu Ave, Honolulu, HI 96816)\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;\"\u003E |\u003Cb\u003E Open:\u003C\/b\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u003Ci\u003EMon-Sun. \u003C\/i\u003E5:30am-10pm \u0026nbsp;| \u003Cb\u003EMenu: \u003C\/b\u003EMalasadas and other baked goods | \u003Cb\u003EPrice:\u003C\/b\u003E $ | \u003Cb\u003ERating: \u003C\/b\u003E10\/10 |\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003EIf you only go to one place to eat on my entire list you HAVE TO go to Leonard's Bakery. You HAVE TO. Ever since I saw Hawaii Five-O show malasadas and the characters rave about how amazing they were I knew I had to have one. Leonard's is the spot to go for them and for good reason they are beyond words delicious. Malasadas are hot Portuguese donuts that are glazed or filled with custard and jellies. After a short wait in line, 10 minutes or so we ordered. We tried the original malasada, cinnamon sugar malasada no filling and the malasada puffs with chocolate filling. All three were out of this world. Everything is made to order so they were soft, fluffy and hot, well worth the short wait. They also sell other baked goods like donuts, variety of pastries, cookies, cakes, breads and pies. If you have a sweet tooth or craving a sweet treat Leonard's is the place to go.

After spending 30 minutes driving around trying to find it, only to find out we were so close every time but then turned around because we thought we passed it, we finally made it to Macky's. While Giovanni's is the go-to shrimp truck we heard raving reviews from locals, online and in our guide book about Macky's so we decided to give it a try. We walked up to the truck don't let the appearance fool you, it's a very simple, no frills place and ordered our meals. We ordered the garlic butter shrimp plate and split it between myself and my brother. It cost $13, \u003Ci\u003E\u003Cb\u003Ecash only\u003C\/b\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E for 8 good size pieces of shrimp, a scoop of garlic rice, a small salad and a piece of pineapple. We had water so we just drank that but there's a 7-11 right next door so you could get cheap drinks there. This was the best shrimp and rice I've ever eaten in my entire life. Actually if I'm being 100% honest the rice was the best part of the meal. I could have eaten scoopful after scoopful of it. The shrimp was good too, flavorful, good size, not dry. The salad wasn't half bad actually and the pineapple was sweet and juicy. Overall for $13 I'd say it was a good meal and I can't wait to go back!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-fPJK-QHuIKg\/WCP1uRpIO8I\/AAAAAAAAJW8\/fMkt3suqImYShcmI7nszyPCConEGLXBPgCLcB\/s1600\/pizza%2Bplace.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-fPJK-QHuIKg\/WCP1uRpIO8I\/AAAAAAAAJW8\/fMkt3suqImYShcmI7nszyPCConEGLXBPgCLcB\/s400\/pizza%2Bplace.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/spaghettinihawaii.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: magenta;\"\u003ESpaghettini\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E:\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/b\u003ENext to Malama Market (\u003Cspan class=\"_xdb\" style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bolder; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"_Xbe\" style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;\"\u003E66-632 Kamehameha Hwy, Haleiwa, HI 96712) \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan class=\"_Xbe\" style=\"background-color: white; text-align: left;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003E| \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cb style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003EOpen: \u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003E\u003Ci\u003EM-Sun.\u003C\/i\u003E 11am-8pm | \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cb style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003EMenu:\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003E Pizza, pasta and sandwiches\u0026nbsp;| \u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cb style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003EPrice:\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: #222222;\"\u003E $-$$ | \u003Cb\u003ERating:\u003C\/b\u003E 6\/10 |\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003EJust a few miles down the road from Macky's is Spaghettini pizza place. We stopped off here because not everyone in our group likes\/eats shrimp and 8 shrimp between two people isn't a lot of food. It's sat in a small strip mall on the main road of Haleiwa and got great reviews online. The walk-up, eat outside place offers handmade, hot pizzas, pastas and sandwiches. We ordered the vegetarian, small for under $20 and split it between us and it was soooo much pizza. You honestly could have split it among 4 people. The pizza was thin crust, oven baked and pretty good. To me $20 is a little pricey for a pizza, especially with no meat on it (would have been $24 or so) but hey you're in Hawaii and things are gonna be higher than normal.

We arrived in the morning, a bit cloudy and overcast from the hurricane that was coming in, but nonetheless we wanted to go. We managed to find a parking spot, luckily as there are a limited number of spots. We payed $7.50 per person (\u003Ci\u003Ecards accepted\u003C\/i\u003E) to get in at the entrance and had to watch a short film on Hanuama Bay and the rules and regulations of it once we got into the park. After that we were free to go down to the beach. The views from the entrance are beautiful and this is where I snapped this photo. There were 8 of us in the group and we had a stroller along with bags, snorkel gear, umbrellas, towels, etc. What we didn't know was that there was a pretty long, steep walk down to the beach... There is a tram that runs $1 going down and $1.25 going up and spend the money and take it, trust me. Once we got down to the beach we set up camp and went to the snorkel shop for some de-fog spray. They don't rent out lifevests so make sure to bring your own or rent them before you go. The waves were choppy and rough, the water murky, I snapped one of my flippers and it was just a mess. We didn't see any fish due to the weather being cloudy and the hurricane churning up the ocean. It's hard for me to recommend going when I had a less than pleasant experience but it is rated so high. I think it would be 100% different if the weather wasn't so overcast and the ocean wasn't choppy.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot;

We had researched online and in our guidebook and both said the Hawaii Nautical snorkel tours were top notch. It cost around $90-ish bucks a person for a 2 hour tour complete with snacks and drinks and the equipment. We took the morning tour from 8am-10am which was plenty of time and still left the day open to do whatever else we wanted. After a bit of confusion on where we were suppose to meet we made it to the harbor and was instantly greeted by Captain Jason who chatted with us about the snorkel. Once everyone arrived, 15 of us total and were boarded we were greeted by the crew and offered refreshments.\u0026nbsp;\u003Cspan style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003EDuring our ride out to Turtle Canyon we were riding with spinner dolphins! They were all around us, jumping and spinning out of the water. It was so cool to watch! (You can see more on \u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Pt2ZuyU9h9M\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: magenta;\"\u003Emy vlog\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E). Pro tip: go sit on the nets for the best view. Once we got to the destination Captain Jason explained all the safety procedures and helped everyone get their gear on. We brought our own which made it easier in my opinion. Lee and Bree, the other crew members, were going to be in the water with us: Lee was our guide and Bree was the \"lifeguard\".\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003EOnce we got in the water Lee was telling us about all the marine life around us and showing us where the turtles where. It was such an amazing experience that I can't even put into words. He even dived down to capture a shark and turtles with our GoPro!\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"text-align: start;\"\u003EWe saw so many amazing fish and of course tons of sea turtles. We stayed in the water for about an hour or so then boarded the catamaran for snacks and drinks on the way back to the harbor. Despite my scary previous snorkeling attempt I felt 100000% safe with Jason, Lee and Bree. They went above and beyond the call of service and gave us one of the best snorkels and an experience we will never forget.

It promised beautiful views and we all enjoyed hiking. It it costs $5 per car with limited parking spots, but that's the only cost to hike. There are bathrooms at the bottom so go before you start, there are none along the way or at the top. The first bit of it is paved but the whole rest of the way (98%) was rocky, uneven and had steps. \u003Ci\u003ENote: \u003C\/i\u003Eif you have a baby or little kids you are going to have to carry them or put them in one of the baby holders.

I wore sneakers so I didn't have a problem hiking some in our group wore sandals which was a problem. The views on the way up were absolutely beautiful. There isn't a bad view on the entire hike. When you get to the top you have 360 degree view of the crater, ocean, Waikiki and the rest of the city. It's magnificent. The entire hike was a little over 3 miles (roundtrip) and took us a little over 2 hours to hike that includes stopping off for drinks and photos.

We were warned online and in our guidebook that it's nothing special and you'll spend unnecessary\u0026nbsp;money but we decided to try it anyways. It's a plantation that has various parts from the famous maze, to a restaurant, gift shop, train tour and botanical garden. The items in the gift shop were you guessed it pineapple themed but overpriced in my opinion. We decided to do the tour of the plantation and got the train, maze and garden. The train was nothing special, a 20 minute ride around the crop which the pineapples were already harvested so we didn't even see any. The garden was nice, lots of lush landscape and pretty places for photos but ripe with mosquito\u0026nbsp;so wear repellent\u0026nbsp;or get bitten. It was so hot the day we went that we didn't have enough energy to do the maze which can take hours so we got refunded our money for it. We finished off with their famous Dole Whips, I got mine in a souvenir pineapple cup which was creamy, cool and refreshing after the time spent outside in the heat. Honestly the Dole Whips were the highlight of this adventure.... I would say skip it and go do something else. It's a tourist trap and quite frankly not worth you time on the island.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-gV6XiKyHT4c\/WCUdeJocAbI\/AAAAAAAAJYo\/b_cftMu6GHcD9W5Lj6MGglMb8ayfhmv2wCLcB\/s1600\/diamond%2Bhead.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: black; font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-KJtQXANewS4\/WCUdcDovyiI\/AAAAAAAAJZo\/HrgnmBKlcc4uSzfD1QhSGDTZNg_PGf4XACEw\/s1600\/dinner%2Bcruise%2Bboat.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-KJtQXANewS4\/WCUdcDovyiI\/AAAAAAAAJZo\/HrgnmBKlcc4uSzfD1QhSGDTZNg_PGf4XACEw\/s400\/dinner%2Bcruise%2Bboat.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Cb\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.starofhonolulu.com\/star-sunset-dinner-show-booking\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: magenta;\"\u003EStar of Honolulu Dinner Cruise\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E:\u003C\/b\u003E \u003Cb\u003EOpen:\u003C\/b\u003E Based on availability | \u003Cb\u003EPrice: \u003C\/b\u003E$$$ | \u003Cb\u003EAges: \u003C\/b\u003EAll | \u003Cb\u003ERating: \u003C\/b\u003E7\/10 |\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003ESomething fun and new that we decided to do was go on a sunset dinner cruise. After reading reviews and looking at our guidebook we settled on this one. It was the decent on price roughly $100 per person for a 2 hour cruise, 1 drink, 3 course steak and all you can eat crab leg dinner and a Hawaiian\/Polynesian show. The ship was nothing special, a little old\/outdated but clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming.The rooftop deck had gorgeous views of Waikiki, Diamond Head and sunset which made for the most stunning photos. We had one Mai Tai included which was okay, not super strong but not just juice either. The first course was a romaine salad which was actually pretty good, along with a sweet Hawaiian bread. Second was the steak and crab with veggies and mashed potatoes also pretty tasty and lastly was a scoop of macadamia\u0026nbsp;nut ice cream.

If you love history, World War II history have family who fought in WWII or just want to feel patriotic this is a must do. We went during the week, in the morning maybe 9am or later and there were still tickets available when we arrived so we didn't have to pay to visit the memorial. We did go during the off season so if you're going during the holidays or summer I'd recommend getting there earlier the better. Also you are not allowed bags into the \"park\" (we learned the hard way), not even clear ones so make sure to leave it in the car or use one of the lockers you can rent for the day. You are allowed a wallet, camera, phones and bottles of water.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222;\"\u003EOnce you enter the park you watch a 23 minute documentary on Pearl Harbor and the history of it at the visitor center. Then you are taken by boat, 15 minutes or so, to the memorial itself. It is such a powerful feeling being there and seeing the Arizona underwater, reading the names of all the lives lost on the wall. You feel so honored to be there and this deep sense of patriotism and gratitude. It's a feeling I've never experienced before and can't really describe. After about 15 minutes or so you take the boat back to the visitor center. Overall the entire tour lasts about an hour. We also did the tour of the USS Bowfin which is the submarine for $12 but that is optional. It was neat to see inside of the sub which I've never toured before and walking through the museum was cool too. There are other various tours you can do but we were getting hungry and wanted to see more of that part of the island so we moved on. If you are only on Oahu for a day I would 1000% recommend seeing Pearl Harbor, it is an experience and a feeling you won't ever forget.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; color: #222222;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-qhS1Mink3V0\/WCUdn33FmwI\/AAAAAAAAJZM\/FvKmrV4-JJAY368PGt397l1S1Uen3yNawCLcB\/s1600\/sharks%2Bcove.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-qhS1Mink3V0\/WCUdn33FmwI\/AAAAAAAAJZM\/FvKmrV4-JJAY368PGt397l1S1Uen3yNawCLcB\/s400\/sharks%2Bcove.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaiisnorkelingguide.com\/sharks_cove.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: magenta;\"\u003EShark's Cove\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E: (Google search it and use maps that way)\u0026nbsp;\u003Cb\u003EOpen:\u003Ci\u003E \u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Ci\u003EM-Sun.\u003C\/i\u003E | \u003Cb\u003EPrice:\u003C\/b\u003E Free | \u003Cb\u003EAges:\u003C\/b\u003E All | \u003Cb\u003ERating:\u003C\/b\u003E 8\/10 |\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003EThis was one of the top rated snorkeling sites on the island so we decided to give it a try. It's kinda hard to locate so we stopped in a parking lot to ask for directions and actually managed to be in the parking lot for the cove! You have to walk down the hill to the cove but it's a short walk and not too steep. There is a sandy area and some shade so we made camp there. The cove isn't really a cove per-say but more like tide pools or a lagoon. The water is really calm so it's perfect for first timers. \u0026nbsp;It's pretty rocky so be careful when walking and swimming. I think we went when it was low tide so we were swimming around\/on top of rocks. I cut my knee pretty bad and have the scars to prove it.

It's a beautiful lush, tropical garden that has a waterfall where you can swim in\/under! It costs $16 to get into the park, $12 if you're a student with ID (score!). To me that's a bit pricey to walk through a bunch of trees but that's just my opinion. It's a 1.5 mile roundtrip, paved walk throughout\u0026nbsp;the tropical jungle. There are lots of mosquitoes\u0026nbsp;so wear long clothing or bring repellent. I got eaten alive which made the hike miserable. There is a shave ice place just before the waterfall but it's nothing like the shave ice stand mentioned above. It's nice for a cool treat after the hot walk. The waterfall itself is quite underwhelming... It was small and the swimming area was small and very muddy. I've seen photos of waterfalls in Hawaii and this one is not like those. You can swim in the pool but it's pretty difficult as the currents are strong. Lifeguards are there and make you wear a lifevest which is good. If you're debating whether or not to go here and hike I'd say skip it. It's pricey and while the garden is beautiful it's nothing you can't see elsewhere.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-tA6PTGFZjR0\/WCUduYm1yMI\/AAAAAAAAJZg\/qjT8iHaq24E9hyFZ4F2gjYf0DNT7fqVDwCLcB\/s1600\/waimea.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-nw6gPrZN9yI\/WCU8OQP2CnI\/AAAAAAAAJZ8\/KRZLefNKENgsVkwUXYCZ-E96orSKR0a-wCLcB\/s1600\/hole%2Bin%2Brock.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-nw6gPrZN9yI\/WCU8OQP2CnI\/AAAAAAAAJZ8\/KRZLefNKENgsVkwUXYCZ-E96orSKR0a-wCLcB\/s400\/hole%2Bin%2Brock.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Ccenter\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-5DONpMrqUII\/WCP1vPSAMzI\/AAAAAAAAJXA\/GkcBvKps-tA-NvD7FeAk1rCN-1qXOTlQACLcB\/s1600\/shave%2Bice.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cb\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/hawaiistateparks.org\/parks\/oahu\/la%CA%BBie-point-state-wayside\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"color: magenta;\"\u003ELa'ie Point\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E: \u003Cspan style=\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003E(\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; text-align: start;\"\u003E55-001 Naupaka St\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr style=\"background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; text-align: start;\" \/\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"background-color: white; text-align: start;\"\u003ELaie, HI 96762\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003E)\u003C\/span\u003E | \u003Cb\u003EOpen: \u003C\/b\u003E\u003Ci\u003EM-Sun.\u003C\/i\u003E | \u003Cb\u003EPrice: \u003C\/b\u003EFree | \u003Cb\u003EAges:\u003C\/b\u003E All | \u003Cb\u003ERating:\u003C\/b\u003E 6\/10 | \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\u003Ccenter\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/center\u003E\u003Ccenter\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;helvetica neue\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;arial\u0026quot; , \u0026quot;helvetica\u0026quot; , sans-serif;\"\u003EWe were driving along and decided to stop off, after seeing it in our guidebook and see the \"hole in the rock\" as we called it, and aptly so. It's kinda hard to find as it's at the end of a residential\u0026nbsp;neighborhood and parking is very limited. The point is exactly that a point where you can walk down and see the hole in the rock and get some great photos of the waves crashing onto the rocks. It's a popular spot to cliff dive (it was in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall) \u0026nbsp;but we didn't see any when we went. Mind you it was during a hurricane\/tropical storm so the ocean was churning more than normal. It's a beautiful spot with stunning views of the ocean and the cliffs.
