The estates here will have most of us rethinking our life choices. 3. **Halona Blowhole** (15m) - Halona means “Of Happy Fortune” this amazing sight is one of just three in the world! And what happy fortune we have to be able to show it to YOU! 4. **Sandy Beach Park** - Cruzen over to Makapu’u Lookout we will be passing by the most sought out bodysurfing beach on the island-even by presidents; Sandy Beach! Don’t let the smaller waves fool you, that water is ruff! 5. **Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve** - Some call this place “The Dragon” These cliffs whereupon The Dragon lay will loosen the jaw in awe! I’m sure your tour guide will be more than happy to explain way! Well, SHOW you why! It’s an amazing site! Unfortunately this place is closed to commercial vehicles.

Makapu’u Lookouts’ amazing cliffs make a feast for your eyes. Not only because it means “bulging eye” in Hawaiian, either. 10. **Waimea Bay** (pass by, no stop) - The very first place a foreigner landed in Hawaii was here in the 1700's! That was Capitan Cook and his crew. Waimea Bay is beyond majestic. From the beautiful, rainforest kissed cliffs that surround it to the proud protruding rock in the center. You will see nothing but beauty. 11. **Sunset Beach** (pass by, no stop) - The original Hawaiian name for this place is Paumalū. Sunset Beach is known for big wave surfing during the winter season and I mean BIG. Keep your eyes open, you may see some surfers on the tops of the waves! 12. **Hale‘iwa Town Center** (15m) - Let us time travel back to the 1800’s. Back to a little place now called Historic Haleiwa Town. Matsumoto’s Shave Ice isn’t the only thing cool about this place! Just wait and see! 13. **Dole Plantation** (20m) - Our last location is sweet to say the least; The Dole Plantation. Home of the world famous, oh yes, DOLE WHIP.
