Manoa Falls

Manoa is probably my favorite area on Oahu and I personally lives in Manoa too! :)
This beautiful waterfall is located in the Manoa area and it is called the Manoa Falls.
Manoa Falls has to be one of the most fascinating waterfalls on Oahu to be seen! Cascading 150 feet down the mountainside, 1.6 miles round trip from the starting point to the falls and back. It will seem more like 1000 feet as you stare up at the endless water falling down the rocks. Not many Oahu waterfalls are easy to travel to, that can also deliver such an impressive show!

Alan Davis

Alan Davis is what the locals call it, but the official name is the “Ka’Iwi Scenic Shoreline” and it's known to be a good place to do some cliff jumping because of the easy access, clear water, and poles that are already positioned for jumpers in the rocky shoreline.

If you're not into jumping or swimming, hang out on the rocks with a beer or take a short walk to Pele's Chair - a nearby rock formation which many are known to climb on top of. Be careful of the rocky way down if you decide to test your rock climbing skills.

The Mermaid cave

This "Mermaid Cave" is one of the most beautiful places on the island of O'ahu. The impressive, but sometimes dangerous grotto is really an extraordinary sight to take in.

The fun is in the finding! If you know anything about the landscape on O'ahu, then it should not be too hard to figure out where this cave is located. And if you do not know much about the geography of O'ahu then the search will be a great adventure, I promise!

When you do visit, be sure to respect it and the people who live nearby. There are memorial sites in the ground here for people who are no longer with us. The people who have made their homes in this area are saints to put up with the ruckus I have seen surrounding this cave. Besides the boisterous crowds, the littering needs to stop. Our natural world is very important and taking care of the 'aina is part of the Aloha spirit. Please, do not litter and if you see trash pick it up because there are trash cans in the parking lot.

Hala Kahiki

"Hala Kahiki" is the Hawaiian word for Pineapple. This is because the Hawaiians thought pineapple resembled the"Hala" fruit. "Kahiki" means foreign, hence pineapple became "Foreign Hana's" in Hawaii.

The pineapple is recognized as a traditional expression of “welcome”. The fruit symbolizes those intangible assets we appreciate in a home: warmth, welcome, friendship and hospitality.

The story behind my pineapple is actually pretty funny... I met this girl on the street that's traveling from Iceland during Halloween night. We immediately bonded like soulmates so we decided to get a matching tattoo together and so yesterday we went to the tattoo store and get these pineapples to celebrate our ONE WEEK friendship anniversary!! It was definitely a drunken idea but we are still glad we got it and loving it. Just like how people said, you only have one life so you gotta make it memorable. (Can't wait to tell my mom....)
