Afisha Life | Oahu Circle Island i North Shore Snorkeling Tour

1

Park przy plaży Diamond Head

Nasz pierwszy punkt zainteresowania prowadzi nas do pięknego punktu widokowego Diamond Head, gdzie będzie można złapać koniec wschodu słońca. Surfowanie jest prawie zawsze na plaży Diamond Head, więc w pogodny dzień możesz obserwować surferów i zobaczyć inne hawajskie wyspy. Proszę zrozumieć, że ten przystanek nie jest pomnikiem stanu Diamentowej Głowy, który znajduje się wewnątrz krateru. Inna nazwa tego miejsca to Amelia Earhart Lookout.

2

Kahala

Po punkcie widokowym Diamond Head naszym drugim punktem zainteresowania jest Gold Coast w Kahala. Ten obszar jest jak Beverly Hills na Hawajach. Zobaczysz niewiarygodnie duże i luksusowe nieruchomości i rozległe posiadłości, które są własnością gwiazd filmowych, celebrytów, dygnitarzy, przedsiębiorców i oczywiście lekarzy i prawników. Zdecydowanie ciekawy widok do obejrzenia.

3

Halona Blowhole

Po przejściu przez Kahalę, jednym z najciekawszych punktów naszej podróży po Oahu jest potężny Halona Blowhole. Przyjdź i podziwiaj ten cud geologiczny, gdy woda strzela w niebo. Gdy fale rozbijają się o skały, woda przepływa pod skałami z podwodnych jaskiń. Potem ciśnienie rośnie i woda wystrzeliwuje tak wysoko, jak tylko widzisz. Jeden z geologicznych cudów Oahu!

4

Plaża wieczności

W pobliżu Blowhole, w niewiarygodnie pięknym zakątku Oahu, znajduje się sekretna plaża rozsławiona w filmie „Stąd do wieczności”. Ta mała zatoczka jest niezwykła i jest jednym z naszych ukrytych klejnotów. Jeśli masz trochę więcej czasu na wakacjach, zalecamy powrót i spędzenie dnia... To chyba najbardziej relaksujące miejsce na świecie!

5

Park Piaszczystej Plaży

Po Blowhole i Eternity Beach natkniemy się na bodyboarding, body surfing, skim boarding i światową stolicę złamanego karku... Sandy Beach. Sandy Beach, słynne miejsce spotkań mieszkańców i po prostu niesamowity plac zabaw, to idealne miejsce do oglądania ekspertów bawiących się falami ekspertów... To także wygodny przystanek w łazience podczas naszej wycieczki!

6

Punkt Makapu'u

Po dotarciu do Sandy Beach kontynuujemy naszą podróż dookoła wschodniego zakątka wyspy Oahu. Gdy to zrobimy, zobaczysz jeden z najbardziej inspirujących widoków, jakie kiedykolwiek zobaczysz. Widok z punktu widokowego Makapu'u Point jest naprawdę warty zobaczenia... Błękitny z błękitów, najbardziej zielony z zielonych, starożytna poszarpana skała lawy otaczająca żółty piasek i stoicka latarnia morska Makapu'u w tle. Niech mnie ktoś uszczypnie...

7

Plaża Waimanalo

Gdy skręcimy za róg wschodniego krańca Oahu, dotrzemy do uroczego miasteczka Waimanalo... Jest Londyn, Paryż, Tokio... A potem jest Waimanalo... Dokładne przeciwieństwo! To tutaj znajdziemy park plażowy, który niezmiennie plasuje się w czołówce najlepszych plaż na świecie. Nazywana również lasem Sherwood, to, co czyni tę plażę tak spektakularną, to ogromna ilość drzew Ironwood, które rosną daleko na plaży w piasku. Tworzy to widok lasu spotykającego się z oceanem w spektakularny sposób. Bez dwóch zdań najlepsze miejsce kempingowe na wyspie. Ze względu na przepisy nie możemy tu wysiąść z autobusu, ale zatrzymamy się, żebyście mogli go zobaczyć z autobusu.

8

Wyspa Mokoli

Oto legendarna wyspa Mokoli'i! Ta malownicza wyspa u wybrzeży Zatoki Kaneohe to formacja wulkaniczna, która jest tak charakterystyczna dla wyspy Oahu, jak Diamentowa Głowa. Mokoliʻi tłumaczy się z hawajskiego jako „mała jaszczurka”. Według mitologii hawajskiej wyspa jest pozostałością ogona olbrzymiej jaszczurki lub smoka, który został odcięty i wrzucony do oceanu przez boginię Hiʻiakę. Zdecydowanie zdjęcie, które musisz mieć zapisane na karcie danych.

9

Tropical Farms (wyprzedaż farmy orzechów makadamia)

Po przejściu przez Sherwood Forest Park czas na jeden z naszych najpopularniejszych przystanków... Dlaczego jest tak popularny? Gratis (wszystko, co możesz zjeść) Orzechy makadamia i Gratis (wszystko, co możesz wypić) Kawa Kona oczywiście! Ale to nie koniec, to prawdziwa plantacja orzechów makadamia, na której możesz rozłupać własne orzechy mac, pić zimny sok kokosowy prosto z kokosa, mieszać się z Samoan Chiefs i znaleźć ten idealny, wyjątkowy prezent do domu z Tobą. To zawsze jeden z ulubionych przystanków naszych gości. *Uwaga: zostaw darowiznę, jeśli dość mocno uderzysz w kawę i orzechy. =)

10

Świątynia Laie na Hawajach

Po nasyceniu na plantacji orzechów makadamia czas wracać w drogę. Następny przystanek, który zrobimy, to niesamowicie piękna Świątynia Kościoła Świętych w Dniach Ostatnich w Laie, na północnym wybrzeżu Oahu. To miasto ma dobrze prosperującą społeczność Mormonów i jest domem dla jednego z kampusów Uniwersytetu Brighama Younga, BYU Hawaii. Ten budynek jest niesamowitym miejscem do zobaczenia, ponieważ jest bardzo ważny pod względem architektonicznym. Nie będziemy mogli wejść do środka, ale przejedziemy obok, żebyście mogli podziwiać widok.

11

Farmy Kahuku

Mango, ananas, kokos, chlebowiec, smoczy owoc, jajko, lilikoi, rosa miodowa, kantalupa, papaja, banany jabłkowe, banany lodowe, kiwi, liczi, rambutan, sapote, chi chi, owoc jack. , ale myślę, że zabrakłoby mi limitu znaków. Niesamowity stoisko z owocami Kahuku Land ma wszystko... Każdy owoc, o jakim kiedykolwiek słyszałeś, i zdecydowanie każdy owoc, o którym nigdy nie słyszałeś. Ciesz się interakcją z lokalnymi rolnikami i degustacją owoców tropikalnych w tym zabawnym miejscu.

12

Kahuku

Dobra kuzyni... Teraz czas na grind! Mieliśmy bardzo pracowity poranek i wszyscy nabrali apetytu. Nie martw się, mamy dla ciebie soczyste krewetki Kahuku. Czosnek, pikantny, cytrynowy, oryginalny... Słynne Shrimp Trucks mają wszystko! Kahuku na Hawajach jest znane z jednych z najbardziej produktywnych farm krewetek na Hawajach. Te krewetki premium są eksportowane na cały świat, ale teraz masz okazję zjeść je tam, gdzie są najświeższe. Opcje inne niż owoce morza. *Uwaga: Koszt obiadu nie jest wliczony w cenę wycieczki.

13

Haleiwa

Odżywiliśmy nasze ciała, odzyskaliśmy zapasy energii i czas wyruszyć przez Haleiwa na miejsce do nurkowania. Ale po drodze przejedziemy przez urocze miasteczko surfingowe Haleiwa, najsłynniejsze miasto na North Shore. Haleiwa jest domem dla setek restauracji, sklepów surfingowych, sklepów ze sztuką i rękodziełem oraz portów. Haleiwa jest jednym z najbardziej oryginalnych i wyjątkowych miast w Ameryce... znacznie mniej na Hawajach. Ciesz się atrakcjami miasta, kierując się do miejsca do nurkowania z żółwiami morskimi na plaży Haleiwa Alii.

14

Park plażowy Haleiwa Alii

Dotarliśmy właśnie do punktu kulminacyjnego naszej 16-punktowej wycieczki po wyspie Oahu Circle... Czas na nurkowanie z żółwiami morskimi. Te ciekawskie stworzenia są posłuszne i niezwykle urocze. Spędzają dni na polowaniu na wodorosty rosnące na skałach i koralowcach na tej pięknej plaży znanej jako Alii Beach w Haleiwa. Zapewnimy wszystkie maski, fajki, kamizelki ratunkowe, ratowników i instrukcje bezpieczeństwa, których potrzebujesz, aby mieć super zabawę i super bezpieczeństwo. To już oficjalne... Dotarłeś... Jesteś na wakacjach, a to niesamowite miejsce do nurkowania jest tego dowodem!

15

Plantacja Dole

Nie ma chyba miejsca bardziej kojarzonego z Hawajami niż plantacja ananasów Dole w Wahiawa na Oahu. To także jeden z ulubionych przystanków naszych gości i fantastyczny sposób na zakończenie tego pełnego przygód dnia. Dole Plantation oferuje szeroką gamę wyjątkowych upominków i napojów, w tym świeżego ananasa i lody DoleWhip. To świetne miejsce do oglądania pociągu Dole, złapania rzeczy do domu lub wysłania prezentów.

16

Farmy kawy Green World

Whooooo Whoooo... Pociąg odjeżdża teraz ze stacji na plantacji Dole... A my zmierzamy do naszego ostatniego przystanku tuż przy drodze... Farmy kawy Green World. Jak można się domyślić po nazwie, Green World uprawia butikową kawę i ma wiele drzew kawowych rosnących na terenie posiadłości, dzięki czemu można przyjrzeć się z bliska. Mają też świetną kawiarnię, dzięki czemu możesz zatankować na podróż powrotną do Waikiki. To był długi dzień i to nie przypadek, że naszym ostatnim punktem zainteresowania jest miejsce, w którym znajdziesz gorącą kofeinę z beczki. Mamy nadzieję, że z przyjemnością czytałeś o naszej wspaniałej wyspie i gorąco zapraszamy do przyłączenia się do nas na ekscytujący dzień, którego nigdy nie zapomnisz!

17
