Makaha is located on Oahu island and is often undisclosed to many tourists, however, it has many unique aspects to offer. One of the most exciting and adventurous things to do while in Makaha is to swim with the wild dolphins. This is a thrilling and once in a lifetime experience that those who believe that they have the guts to do so, should take part in, as it is something that only happens once in your life. This experience is offered by Wild Side Specialty Stores. The group also takes tourists to the 'turtle bath' in which sea turtles are sunning themselves on coral reefs letting fish give them a bath by removing the debris from the tops of their shells, therefore, giving them a bath. It is also a great way to see whales during certain times of the year.
Makaha is a historical place at its Beach Park and is the home to championship surfing. Now, the championships have been moved to another island, however, it does allow a tourist to see why the surfing championships were once held here. During the winter, the waves are extremely rough, meaning that it is a perfect time for those professional surfers. For tourists, venturing in the water during the summer is the safest bet as those that venture into the water during the winter will find that the surf is too rough for them and they do get injured.
Kaena Point is also a historical place for most Hawaiians that visitors have the chance to visit. This is a place in which Hawaiians believed years ago that departed souls would go to in order to get to the afterlife. This is often believed to be a religious place for most Hawaiians.
The Makaha Resort and Golf Club is the most popular destinations within Makaha. It offers 18 holes for the golfer to participate in. However, one of the things to be aware of is the many peacocks that may be running across the grounds at any time, which is not only a beautiful sight, but one that you will undoubtedly laugh about when you think back to the experience.
Overall, Hawaii is a location that has a little bit of everything to suit the needs and tastes of all those involved. Not only are there beautiful beaches to choose from, but there is also a fair amount of activities to choose from that are not only fun and entertaining, but also a cultural education.
Before planning any vacation, especially one to the unique island of Hawaii, it is important to do your homework and make sure that you are getting the best value that you can for your hard earned dollar. Keep in mind that a travel agent is an excellent source, however, your best bet to find the lowest prices is to look online through travel websites.
There are so many activities that a tourist can take part in that it is impossible to get it done in an average vacation time of a week or two. Which means that Hawaii is ideal for multiple vacations with the family over a span of years. There will always be more exciting things to see and many sites still will hold that aura of fascination for a visitor time after time.
