Vacation review for Hale Makani Kai in Punaluu, Oahu:
The view of the house is beautiful. We watched sun rise from the deck. Tish is very helpful in every way. We stayed at Oahu for 8 days, it seems not long enough. Turtle Bay is very close by where we stay. It is a good place to get familiar with our snorkel equipment before we headed to Hamauma Bay. Just drive into the Turtle Bay Resort and tell the gate keeper that you are going to the beach, you will be given a parking ticket to place in your car, then park your car in yellow lines that are assigned for public beach tourists. It is free. Don't forget to watch sunset on Sunset Beach, the name says every thing. Hamauma Bay is safe to snorkel for children and adults who are not good swimmers but make sure to wear water shoes, it is kind of rocky or I should say, reefy. :) Don't forget Diamond Head Crater, go there early so it won't get too hot. It is worth the hike, the view is awesome!! Polynesian Cultural Center is just 5 minutes away from Tish's place. Make sure to go there before 2 PM. If you cannot finish visiting the whole Culture Center in one day, you can go back with the same ticket within 3 days. Don't forget to try the fresh shrimps from the shrimp trucks on north shore, we went to Romy's, it is delicious, they only take cash. Waikiki Beach is full of activities, ABC Stores is the place to shop for chocolate covered macadamias, $1.99 a box, buying 4 boxes is cheaper. Also the Swap at Aloha Stadium every Wed., Sat, and Sunday is a good place to buy whatever you like. It cost $1.00 person to get in. Tish's place has every thing that we need including beach towels, beach mates and bug spray. It shows how thoughtful she is. The house is steps away from the beach. We will be back; next time, the Big Island. Aloha!
