Ahupuaʻa ʻO Kahana State Park — Attraction in Oʻahu

I enjoyed a horseback ride with a remarkable woman, Leolani, who gives private rides. The park is beautiful but Leolani, has spent her entire life growing up on this land. Not only are her horses with great temperament but Leolani's knowledge of the park is truly what made my ride special She has seen the changes take place from being a child to an adult. Over 5 decades. She explained everything from the native growth to the invasive growth of foliage and the effects it has had on the environment. I rode Tucker as she rode Playboy. At the end of my ride she showed me how Playboy could count fingers and most importantly how much Playboy loved having his picture taken. The photo burst king. Playboy would outstretch his knack over my shoulder and smile wanting me to use my photo burst option on my camera taking multiple shots. I would highly recommend Leolani and her horses to everyone who gets the chance to ride. It is not a tail to nose line ride. It is personable and intimate, not to mention the knowledge of the park you receive while you ride. I spent 3 weeks in Hawaii and of all things I did this was by...

Nakoa Trail:

I've had my fair share of hikes and in my opinion I didn't really enjoy this one. There's no scenic lookouts. But I do know that there's a few WWII bunkers if you go off trail just a bit. Yay to nature walks and all but this trail was littered with sharp-edged, long hala leaves. I was being careful with each step but still got scratched up. I took my dog along and he got scratched up a little bit too.

Aloha there's a certain time I love to go there on my way to the temple and I pick up certain types of shells there they're called wendal traps and is white clam shell has both sides and it's real small it's very transparent there's a Tree swing people can put their boats in the water. people canoe you don't go in the water where the water comes from the mountains into the bay if the water is brown you stay out of the water you don't go in the water if it's brown because you can't see what's in the water and I'm not talking about Predators also be a water runoff that's not clean so one of the rules on Oahu if its been raining in the mountains in the water is brown there's always going to be a beach that is clear it's going to be away from where the streams go into these Bays so most time they're clear we have a little bit of a rainy season maybe a day a week maybe another little storm will come and go Jet Ski Ramp we had Church camp there...
