First stop Waikiki Beach with the famous view of once volcanic Diamond Head Mountain
Honolulu tourists
Turtle Bay
The macademia nut farm & Kualoa Ranch tour was one of the highlights. The presentations afforded me time to sketch the chickens and Japanese tourists.
In Haleiwa my girlfriend surprised me with a cage-diving trip amongst sharks!
These islands are known as 'Chinaman's Hat' and behind it 'Turtle Island'

The Polynesian Cultural Centre is a must-see attraction; we spent a whole afternoon there exploring the authentic tribal huts and watching the dancing and demos.
In the evenings they put on a dance extravaganza show 'Hā- The Breath of Life'
