Hanauma Bay... such beauty!

This "Curved" bay was declared a protected marine life conservation area and underwater park. This is THE BEST protected cove if you are new to scuba diving or snorkeling with a diverse population of marine life and a large, rich coral reef.

The bay floor is actually the crater of an ancient volcano that flooded when the exterior wall collapsed and the ocean rushed in.

We had a good time taking a walk up this hiking trail just to catch the breathtaking view of the entire Bay area... such incredible beauty and the serenity.

More of Ko Olani Lagoons

The string-rays comes up these close to the side for feeding...

You can find 3 lagoons at Ko Olani where it is safe to swim and has a barrier from the hard waves from coming in... the water is of course crystal clear and soft sands. You can really spend hours here and not realise the time passing by so quickly, believe me when I say this... I literally had to drag my feet to leave this place.

Beach bum signing out till the next update on the next sight-seeing!!! :)

Managed to see a hammerhead shark, string-ray and some beautiful blue fishes... no idea what they are called though.
