🌴 From Maui to Honolulu: My Urban Hawaiian Adventure!
Just arrived in Honolulu from Maui—felt like a country girl entering the big city! 🏙️ 🌌 Night Drive to Haleakalā Summit The road was incredibly rugged—cliffs on one side, massive rocks on the other 🏔️. No streetlights, but my experience on Road to Hana prepared me well! Rewards: Breathtaking cloud-sea sunrise 🌄 + a sky full of stars ✨ (Orion’s three blue supergiants, 30x larger than the sun, were stunning!). Post-sunrise, the volcanic crater felt like the surface of the moon—desolate yet majestic. 🏝️ Oahu Highlights Kualoa Ranch: Swung through jungles and pastures like Tarzan! 🌿 Nu’uanu Pali: Braced Honolulu’s strongest winds 💨 Haleiwa (North Shore): 🍤 Shrimp rice at Jennh’s 🌟🌟🌟🌟 🐟 Poke for the People (must-try! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) 🍧 Matsumoto Shave Ice—pretty but overpriced 🌟🌟🌟 💡 Tips: Haleakalā “Moon Surface”: Go to the visitor center + hike a short trail 🌋 Ziplining: Best on Big Island or Maui—Oahu’s is mediocre 🪂 Haleiwa Half-Day Trip (no water activities): Food crawl + cute shops! #Hawaii #Oahu #Maui #TravelTips #SoloTravel #AdventureTime #IslandHopping 🌺📸🚗
