2013 HANAPI REUNION - WAILUA - 5 DAYS LEFT

WAILUA MARINA BOAT RIDE

I thought I'd include some additional information about Wailua especially for those interested in the Wailua Marina Boat Ride. Good thing I checked because there's still time to Book Online and SAVE. It appears you get $2.00 off for adults and $1.00 off for children.

With the previous Blog about the Wailua Complex, you can probably get more out of the boat trip and note other interesting features of the journey. One of our cousins, Willie Carillo, plays music on one of the Boat Tours. He'll be attending the reunion also.

I also heard that the Fern Grotto tour was discontinued because it is no longer safe to walk onsite so the State of Hawaii shut it down. The Boat Tour will take you up to the Fern Grotto but you won't be able to disembark for the tour of the Fern Grotto.

WAILUA KAI (BEACH)

Here's a map of LYDGATE STATE PARK which is directly across Kuhio Hwy from the WAILUA MARINA BOAT RIDE. You can take your family and go swimming there where two stone-walled ocean pools provide safe areas for swimming.

You can see two cultural sites there. The Hauloa South bank of Wailua rivermouth which likely included a pu‘uhonua (place of refuge) as well as Hikina-a-ka-lā part of Hauloa. You just might see the Na Ki‘i Pōhaku (Petroglyphs) South bank of Wailua rivermouth which is sometimes covered with sand.

Well, I'll share the Anahola story for the next Blog.

Enjoy!!
