The U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in Honolulu, was something very moving about this place. Just a deep felt sense of awe and sadness about it.
Visiting the USS Arizona memorial. While it is closed to board due to structural issues, they do an excellent job of ensuring the visit is still a very memorable one. No cost to head out to the memorial!
Pearl Harbor
Mokoli’i Island or AKA Chinaman’s Hat is an iconic spot in Hawaii. Jurassic movie was featured here. On a very nice day, low tide, you can paddle or kayak to the island and take a hike to the top. Be careful though when you explore this island as the current is strong or tide can change. #nature
