Adventures in Hawaii: Day 1

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

After arriving to the Big Island on Dec. 30th, 2016, I was immediately in paradise.

After I picked up my car, I was on my way to my first adventure...

We started out in Honokohau Harbor. They even let me drive the boat.

My first tour was to swim with the manta rays! We were floating and snorkeling in the water for at least 1 hour, and I was able to see many manta rays. This picture makes me feel like I was just there!

However, I was unable to snap any underwater pictures. I will never forget the overall experience.

The company I went out with is called Bite Me. Very fun and professional.

Since I arrived around 5PM, this day was relatively short. However, stay tuned for New Year's Eve!

exciting crossing BRO very good pic

Thanks! It is one of the best trips I have ever taken. I was there for a total of 10 days, and plan on uploading more pictures. Stay tuned!

great photos :) looks like an amazing place

Thanks, this was the shortest day, so I only had a handful of pictures. The next 9 days are epic.

i've always wanted to go to HI but it is so far / so expensive. Therefore I plan to live vicariously through you. I'm looking forward to future pictures. Thanks for the share

In order to save money, I slept in my car on local campsites. They had hot water, showers, clean toilets, and was right on the beach. The campsite on Maui is called Camp Olowalu.
