In the few weeks that have passed since the last post I have spent my weekends searching for fun stuff to do around Oahu, and I have come across several gems. The first is Diamond Head Crater.<br /><br />Located near Honolulu, a short distance east of Waikiki, Diamond Head Crater is a popular tourist spot on Oahu. According to an informational pamphlet from the state monument, this volcanic crater was formed about 300,000 years ago, and it is about 750 feet from sea level at its tallest point. Its Hawaiian name is Lē<span class="okina" style="font-family:Lucida Sans Unicode,sans-serif;">ʻ</span>ahi, "lae" meaning forehead, and "ahi" meaning tuna, as the ridge is said to resemble a tuna's forehead. Its English name comes from 18th century traders and explorers who mistook calcite crystal deposits in the crater for diamonds.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z_Cw8Te5JX0/S5r4TbyQD_I/AAAAAAAAAAU/eD6A4XtiMTQ/s1600-h/new+years,+honolulu+med+fam+021.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z_Cw8Te5JX0/S5r4TbyQD_I/AAAAAAAAAAU/eD6A4XtiMTQ/s320/new+years,+honolulu+med+fam+021.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447939712017764338" border="0" /></a> <span style="font-size:85%;">View of Waikiki & Downtown from the summit</span><br /></div><br />I have hiked Diamond Head twice since I have been attending BYU-Hawaii, and I loved it both times. It costs five dollars to park inside the crater, or one dollar to enter on foot. The hike takes 45 minutes to and hour and a half, and there are several lookout points on the way to the top.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z_Cw8Te5JX0/S5r68iV1TfI/AAAAAAAAAAc/MQ5Ox6YUjpc/s1600-h/olillo+066.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Z_Cw8Te5JX0/S5r68iV1TfI/AAAAAAAAAAc/MQ5Ox6YUjpc/s320/olillo+066.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447942617175510514" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Myself at the first lookout point</span><br /></div><br />The hike starts as a series of switchbacks snaking up the side of the crater. A few hundred feet or so up the mountainside, the trail goes through a 225-foot long tunnel and exits on the outside of the crater. From there, several sets of stairs (with a grand total of 227 steps) lead to the very highest lookout point, where hikers can take in the breathtaking view of nearby reefs, Waikiki, downtown Honolulu, and the houses on the hillsides. On a clear day the island of Molokai is visible in the distance.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z_Cw8Te5JX0/S5r69OyVo3I/AAAAAAAAAAk/8MAfLdt4Wkc/s1600-h/olillo+070.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Z_Cw8Te5JX0/S5r69OyVo3I/AAAAAAAAAAk/8MAfLdt4Wkc/s320/olillo+070.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5447942629106230130" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:85%;">The final set of sta</span><span style="font-size:85%;">irs</span><br /></div><br />As for preparation for the short hike, make sure to wear appropriate clothing. The trek can be done in casual non-hiking shoes, but I don't recommend wearing slippers (flip-flops for mainlanders). I would also suggest taking a bottle of water.<br /><br />This hike makes an excellent activity for a Saturday afternoon. After the hike, enjoy cruising the Waikiki strip, or eating at one of Waikiki's many restaurants. More fun, cheap activities on Oahu still to come.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659626910368855578.post-83703542693408216992010-02-10T17:25:00.000-08:002010-03-11T13:09:58.572-08:00Sunset Movies at WaikikiI have heard many complaints from BYU-Hawaii students about their lack of fun things to do, especially at night. By resurrecting Ke Alaka'i's "Oh, Wahoo!" blog, I intend to show students and anyone else who is interested, that there are many fun activities to take part in all around the island of Oahu.<br /><br />A great way to spend a Saturday night is to head down to Waikiki and attend a Sunset on the Beach Movie Screening. Fans of ABC's LOST will already have experienced with this event, as the LOST premier was part of the Sunset on the Beach program. Every Saturday, the city shows a free movie on a 30-foot screen-- right on the beach.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z_Cw8Te5JX0/S3NglJY9zTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/X__VieTb-58/s1600-h/lostpremier"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Z_Cw8Te5JX0/S3NglJY9zTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/X__VieTb-58/s320/lostpremier" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436795366458379570" border="0" /></a> Fans eagerly awaiting the LOST premier<br /><br />Chairs and tables are set up on the beach so people can enjoy the movie comfortably. Many food vendors set up tents right by the screen. The event is totally free (unless you want to buy food of course). All you have to do is find a way to get to Waikiki, such as the bus or getting a ride with friends. So find a group of friends and have a blast watching a free movie on the beach!<br /><img src="file:///Users/benhale/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot-3.png" alt="" /><img src="file:///Users/benhale/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/moz-screenshot-4.png" alt="" />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659626910368855578.post-4569127252057134862009-04-21T14:58:00.000-07:002009-04-21T15:52:49.868-07:00Swing Dancing in China Town!<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Calling all jitterbugs, swing dancers, Lindy hoppers and Balboa lovers...</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.hawaiijitterbugs.org/files/images/7.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://www.hawaiijitterbugs.org/files/images/7.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Let's go swing at Ong King!</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">When?</span><br />Every Thursday night with the Hawaii Jitterbugs! 8-11pm<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">How Much?</span><br />$5 cover.

Tours are available throughout the day. Shark Adventures uses a custom 32-foot Anderson boat with a swim step on the transom, or back, of the boat. Tours are limited to six persons, so there is no overcrowding. Masks and snorkels are also provided on the vessel "Kailolo II". "Kailolo" means water crazy.<br /><br />The boat travels offshore from Haleiwa approximately 3 to 4 miles. Once you get to the area, the shark cage is placed in the water and floats at the surface. The water is a cobalt blue and visibility is approximately 200 feet or more. You can actually see the sharks come up from the deep.<br /><br />While on this tour, you will have the opportunity to see not only sharks, but Hawaiian Green Sea turtles, dolphins and humpback whales, depending on the season.<br /><br />I strongly encourage you to bring an underwater camera because you will be able to get some of the best-possible Hawaiian shark photographs of anywhere.karly angela zobristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11481116881332148810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659626910368855578.post-8154041684243484872008-10-10T13:16:00.000-07:002008-10-10T16:29:11.927-07:00Pumpkin carving!<div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz6s-5-fnWw-VX3j6vNCvbyobBhVINuq-vxuZV3prUkQ2fXkMOB_RRjAmkjV5B1Pp4E0rxvNZe6HnYtlMGXzbcgpZ75s_WrbfkGH48o9uELRUX6YwnPBpxdyuWLbG0MR8rSVxgdFm1Qc4/s1600-h/leo_swinimer_giant_pumpkin.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz6s-5-fnWw-VX3j6vNCvbyobBhVINuq-vxuZV3prUkQ2fXkMOB_RRjAmkjV5B1Pp4E0rxvNZe6HnYtlMGXzbcgpZ75s_WrbfkGH48o9uELRUX6YwnPBpxdyuWLbG0MR8rSVxgdFm1Qc4/s320/leo_swinimer_giant_pumpkin.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255624549986264354" /></a><br />And I thought the cat I carved into a pumpkin last year was great...<br /><br />Not only did this Wisconsin man grow and carve this pumpkin into a canoe but, according to BBC, he christened it with another small pumpkin!

The cost is anywhere from $30-$40 per person on one moped or scooter. Most moped rental places open around 9am and require that you return the moped by 5pm.<br /><br />I personally rented from "<a href="http://www.hawaiianstylerentals.com/">Hawaiian Style Rentals</a>". They were very nice and they gave us a discount because I was with eight of my friends. You'll need to have a current driver's license and a credit or debit card for payment. They will go over the safety instructions with each person, assess damage already done to the moped and log it, so when you return they'll know exactly how much damage was previously there. Usually, they'll give you a full tank of gas, which should last all day, and each rider is required to fill it back to the level it was when they received it. Also, each moped will come with its own lock.<br /><br />On our adventure, there were, in total, 27 of us riding around town, so safety is very important. There were a few crashes, no one was seriously hurt, just scrapes and bruises. You should always ride close to other riders so, if any problems arise, someone will be there to help.<br /><br />Overall, this is one of the funnest things that you can do on the island. I would recommend it to anyone. I loved it!<br /><br />These are some links to websites where you can make reservations to rent a moped:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.paradisemaui.com/rentals/index.html">www.paradisemaui.com/rentals/index.html</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mopedsdirect.net/rentals.htm">www.mopedsdirect.net/rentals.htm</a><div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01815339662692880026noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659626910368855578.post-67105207374961577082008-09-27T16:35:00.000-07:002008-10-17T15:31:34.236-07:00I love...<span style="font-weight: bold;">Banyan Trees</span><br /><br />They are so fun to climb on!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPjUphsIb9uoEmRDsuVKvf97u2oIhgpBTd7rl_zv91kpMx5xjiRx7RD-nsGVBPqMUyMRRnQdCNODP2HG76X9BOL9pvvqb-fsadqekRdaZXDABUSMkV1h4mqkyveDHqka6F4yb9rOb8EE8/s1600-h/IMG_1257.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPjUphsIb9uoEmRDsuVKvf97u2oIhgpBTd7rl_zv91kpMx5xjiRx7RD-nsGVBPqMUyMRRnQdCNODP2HG76X9BOL9pvvqb-fsadqekRdaZXDABUSMkV1h4mqkyveDHqka6F4yb9rOb8EE8/s320/IMG_1257.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251892722287364018" border="0" /></a><br /><br />and swing from<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWYns97usZLXts2T6dH-0VeWcEKkGmXHf73FdQox7a5LA04I7HoyrHDqiBLoJFg34dhv2wxp9dP_xRjWWRi1a7tYgMHUwzpPwceTCVkuUei6AVdYuuPI-4MCrzy9LpD0-lfd6jyCgbMZI/s1600-h/IMG_1261.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWYns97usZLXts2T6dH-0VeWcEKkGmXHf73FdQox7a5LA04I7HoyrHDqiBLoJFg34dhv2wxp9dP_xRjWWRi1a7tYgMHUwzpPwceTCVkuUei6AVdYuuPI-4MCrzy9LpD0-lfd6jyCgbMZI/s320/IMG_1261.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251897527785450882" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Or take a rest in<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhzeMs54ai1OQuFVU50wIQ5mVKj_8R7YIbHk4y-IMiYNELsrjATtZpxMAgYcWzFBSyPReQr4dnhUUSZDyktTDfUebC70QEaSWRrQAyfdmJp1IQm5cX-twefTxAkPuIYrGZmDPsoJ6T14w/s1600-h/IMG_3132.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhzeMs54ai1OQuFVU50wIQ5mVKj_8R7YIbHk4y-IMiYNELsrjATtZpxMAgYcWzFBSyPReQr4dnhUUSZDyktTDfUebC70QEaSWRrQAyfdmJp1IQm5cX-twefTxAkPuIYrGZmDPsoJ6T14w/s320/IMG_3132.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251897253770300450" border="0" /></a><br />These trees can be found all over Oahu, but be careful, ants love them too!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The tree, the legend:</span><br /><br />In Hinduism, the banyan tree is considered sacred and is called "Ashwath Vriksha." God Siva as Dakshinamurthy is nearly always depicted sitting in silence under the banyan with rishis at His feet. It is thought of as perfectly symbolizing eternal life due to its seemingly unending expansion.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Oh, what's in a name?</span><br /><br />The name was originally given to F. benghalensis and comes from India where early travelers observed that the shade of the tree was frequented by banias, or Indian traders. In the Gujarati language, banyan means "merchant", not "tree". The Portuguese picked up the word to refer specifically to Hindu merchants and passed it along to the English as early as 1599 with the same meaning.<br /><br />By 1634, English writers began to tell of the banyan tree, a tree under which Hindu merchants would conduct their business. The tree provided a shaded place for village meetings or for merchants to sell their goods. Eventually, banyan came to refer to the tree itself.karly angela zobristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11481116881332148810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659626910368855578.post-49314102869685478642008-09-23T14:37:00.000-07:002008-09-24T13:14:02.358-07:00Ka'ena PointKa'ena point is the northwestern point of the island, I went there last weekend with some friends. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUfvAkjk1dOXs25ojplFeAMUG6KzHqNrLsRBybZWd1IAlZGGU6NzS16T5Bzpuv2Xq_ykB4aatcD2ifez9D3Mu4sQhH84tow2tFH4QtEzM6Oa2l8XEoDsSquqG0GD5m1CQQJUXTE_oYuk4/s1600-h/IMG_0645.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUfvAkjk1dOXs25ojplFeAMUG6KzHqNrLsRBybZWd1IAlZGGU6NzS16T5Bzpuv2Xq_ykB4aatcD2ifez9D3Mu4sQhH84tow2tFH4QtEzM6Oa2l8XEoDsSquqG0GD5m1CQQJUXTE_oYuk4/s320/IMG_0645.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249335366348699090" /></a><br /><br />Ka'ena apparently means "the heat" in Hawaiian, SO TRUE. If you go, which you should, bring water and be sure to wear your tennis shoes! I wore sandals... big mistake. <br /><br />The point has been a Natural Area reserve since 1983, and it's beautiful! You can hike around the point to the West side, explore the lava rock, we even saw a monk seal! ( I have also heard that you can rock climb out there... though that's not my area of expertise). <br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiio0_z4wQkUBtlZIvmEILQ75QgNz1cr07myrlLNgmAKx4G0Nr05kV2aK3vutYIDSbSYhvlNdgB3nMoaQfberIdo0OPhGnfto5gqX07aXjMgHU0gLjd4Kp7949fjju2HMRV-dso75cqMHQ/s1600-h/IMG_0648.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiio0_z4wQkUBtlZIvmEILQ75QgNz1cr07myrlLNgmAKx4G0Nr05kV2aK3vutYIDSbSYhvlNdgB3nMoaQfberIdo0OPhGnfto5gqX07aXjMgHU0gLjd4Kp7949fjju2HMRV-dso75cqMHQ/s320/IMG_0648.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249337269095695218" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3qT_Ctq2cGDxoEpRB7F4wDFvW3S1GFUDYR4zdhMgtPqZwQmzX9KS_bDty-dG_tRT1EXQaaZSwfcKRBV7EFcqlbIqskduIsc6YNq9SiSRIV8jNJkrHF9MbLMeDt9hrszzf-19sh0i1mOc/s1600-h/IMG_0650.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3qT_Ctq2cGDxoEpRB7F4wDFvW3S1GFUDYR4zdhMgtPqZwQmzX9KS_bDty-dG_tRT1EXQaaZSwfcKRBV7EFcqlbIqskduIsc6YNq9SiSRIV8jNJkrHF9MbLMeDt9hrszzf-19sh0i1mOc/s320/IMG_0650.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5249337274042318786" /></a><br /><br />You have to drive pretty far to get here, it's behind Haleiwa. You can't drive your car all the way to the point, although some maps make it seem like you can. It took us about an hour and a half to walk the flat road to the reserve, but if your car has 4 wheel drive you may be able to drive that far. Set aside some time for exploration and REALLY bring water!karly angela zobristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11481116881332148810noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659626910368855578.post-46066535658178308692008-09-19T16:04:00.000-07:002008-09-20T18:54:27.179-07:00SkydivingSo I guess skydiving doesn't really qualify as something to do "On the island" but if you are looking for something absolutely amazing to do, I highly recommend it.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEn7ShLrdCOOJwMU59Jp9zxo6BmyD7y338UaDW8T6SXWmfIfN6IjC36TyCA67mfpVibjg3TzgUl_tFNgA7vhyTKZR9SmGYU0QZm4FEwQfboXaDGoImGeSdl5exc5AcPWAPvBKf3E1bg1E/s1600-h/IMG_0533.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEn7ShLrdCOOJwMU59Jp9zxo6BmyD7y338UaDW8T6SXWmfIfN6IjC36TyCA67mfpVibjg3TzgUl_tFNgA7vhyTKZR9SmGYU0QZm4FEwQfboXaDGoImGeSdl5exc5AcPWAPvBKf3E1bg1E/s320/IMG_0533.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247873542029841378"></a><br /><br />Skydiving is a very dangerous activity but if you are looking for a thrill... <br />oh, and don't forget to ask to borrow a jumpsuit. I think it really adds to the experience. <br /><br />For more info go to hawaiiskydiving.com. <br /><br />The cost is usually 225$ but there is a 100$ discount for students with their id card! <br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dznQNzzXfjuVoDjc5TEZjfZOuIaszd_HuB8-cWTL1-B1sK1HrZJio75D_HIiTtca9iMwCloslZVzHYIGu-IVg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>karly angela zobristhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11481116881332148810noreply@blogger.com0
