Waikiki 1

The Banyan trees in Waikiki were so huge and cool for the kids to play around

We took a dolphin/snorkeling boat tour where we got to jump into the ocean with the spinner dolphins.  As soon as the captain saw a pod we would all jump into the water as they swam around us.   Of course we didn’t get any pictures as we were too distracted from being in the moment.

We saw whale after whale breaching out of the water, just an everyday occurrence throughout the island.  We saw them while driving, sitting at the beach, at the hotel, going for walks.

Hailey was fearless, jumping off the boat out in the ocean without hesitation.

The boat took us to a snorkeling spot too

Our guides on the boat were so entertaining.  We started off with a Hawaiian prayer and threw flowers into the ocean.   We were served hot tea while drying off, applied tattoos to everyone on board and fed us lunch.  They performed a traditional Hawaiian dance and then taught everyone on board some hula moves.  Shane thought it was such a good deal, we were entertained while going from each snorkeling spot!

We found a hidden little place where the locals go called Spitting Caverns.
