• Halona Blowhole - After passing through Kahala, one of the most intriguing points on our Oahu journey is the powerful Halona Blowhole. Witness this geological wonder as it shoots water skyward.

On a clear day, visitors can see Chinaman’s Hat (Mokoliʻi Island) and even parts of the North Shore in the distance. The Nuuanu Pali Lookout is not just a scenic stop—it holds deep historical significance. In 1795, King Kamehameha I won the decisive Battle of Nuuanu here, uniting the Hawaiian Islands under his rule. Hundreds of warriors were driven over the steep cliffs in one of Hawaii’s most legendary battles.

• Byodo-In Temple - The Byodo-In Temple in Honolulu is a serene replica of Japan’s 950-year-old Byodo-In Temple, nestled at the foot of the lush Ko’olau Mountains. Built in 1968 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Japanese immigrants in Hawaii, it symbolizes peace and cultural harmony. Surrounded by koi ponds and lush gardens, the temple offers a tranquil retreat where visitors can ring the sacred bell, admire the golden Buddha statue, and experience the beauty of traditional Japanese architecture.

Definitely a picture-perfect moment to capture.
