Diamond Head and Waikiki Aquarium

So this day started off with a Diamond Head Hike. First off, parking is awful! Go during the day or early morning! Parking only cost $5, which isn't bad. The hike is extremely easy-the only obstacles are other hikers. The view from the top is wonderful!

The view from the top is one of the best of Honolulu!

The hike in its entirety took less than half an hour and that was at a literal snail pace.













The aquarium is sad. I have been to the Baltimore aquarium many times in my life and that is an aquarium. The sea life in the Waikiki Aquarium look sad and lethargic-its also really small. However, the aquarium staff members are really nice and very knowledgable.

Monk Seal


Tickets for an adult cost $12, military adult $8, children 4-12 $5, younger than 4 get in for free.
The gift shop was probably my most favorite part. Overall I don't think this aquarium is really worth it.
