Day 4 started early!! We departed the Outrigger at 6AM heading to the North Shore and a night at the Turtle Bay Resort. I enjoyed Waikiki, but I was anxious to visit the mountains and garden part of the island. The entire ride, which is about 2 hours, was breathtaking!!
Sunrise in Waikiki
Moana Surfrider, the oldest hotel in Waikiki.
It is a luxury resort operated by the Westin. Gorgeous!!
This is my favorite resort in Waikiki.
Our group received a guided tour from Patsy Fong
Senator Fong's Daughter-in-Law
She pulled a melon off the tree and gave it to Geoff to eat right there.
Patsy gave me a lime for my 30 mosquito bites. It worked!!
Secret Island at
Kualoa Ranch(50 First Dates was filmed here)
Kualoa Ranch - A 4000 acre working ranch
Site of ABC's Lost, and multiple movie's such as:
Pearl Harbor, 50 First Dates, Jurassic Park, Windtalkers, and Godzilla
I'm hiding from the dinosaurs. Shhhh!
I recommend the movie tour,
but those on the ATV's also seemed to be having fun! :)
On our way to the North Shore we stopped at
Giovanni's Shrimp Truck. YUMMY!!
I also had one of many Pineapple Smoothies. Double YUM!
We arrived at the
Turtle Bay Resort located at the North Shore
and headed straight to dinner at
Ola's.
Again, it was an amazing dinner! All 5 courses!
Time for bed!
