HÜBSCH JESS BABY

Hawaii's beauty and scenery contains many historic hiking trails, stunning coastal views, as well as military history. One such recognized landmark is the 'Diamond Head State Monument' ! To avoid more sun burns, we decided to go for a hike early in the morning. We woke up at 630am and arrived at 7am to begin our hike! The weather was pretty chilly in the morning, and hiking Diamond Head can universally be found on most visitors’ to-do checklists, as it offers one of the best ways to get breath-taking, 360-degree views of Oahu. The Diamond Head trail is pretty interesting, as it began with a gentle slope which was was easy to walk on. The trail gradually became steeper as we made our way to the top! There were various wonderful lookouts around the half way point to the top of the trail, where a couple of them allowed one to lean right out for an incredible photo over the amazing terrain. You can reach the highest point by taking

About an hour's drive north away from Waikiki is the large Kualoa Ranch ! This Ranch has been used by many Hollywood directors to film adventure/blockbuster movies with jungle and vast grassy knoll/plain settings! Prior to our arrival in Hawaii, Baby had already booked a 'Movie Site and Ranch Tour' online at a morning slot.  We boarded the tour bus, and the duration of the tour was about 1.5 hours! There was a jovial tour guide on the bus who provided us with great information, as well as a friendly narrative of the history of the ranch. She also pointed out various parts of the ranch which had official movie filming locations for our viewing! Some of the movies that were filmed here were 'Jurassic Park', 'Godzilla', '50 First Dates', 'Hawaii Five-O', and 'LOST', which are just to name a few! There was even huge mad made crater which was made to look like Godzilla's footprint!
