Starting our Diamond Head Hike






Half way to the top

Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid

The Bay

The smell of the orchids, flowers and fresh beach water surrounded our day. We started with breakfast by the beach followed by a 9:00 a.m. climb up Diamond Head. The trail to the summit of Le ahi was built in 1908 as part of the U.S. Army Coastal Artillery Ruger. The hike took roughly one hour. It was an easy fun hike involving steep terrain. The kids really enjoyed making it to the top. It was hot, but bearable. After the hike we spent the afternoon at beautiful Hanauma Bay. The snorkeling was absolutely wonderful with the live coral reef within touch. The big fish were an awesome site. I could have spent the whole day here. After Thailand, I have really come to enjoy snorkeling and appreciating the creations we sometimes take for granted.
