Oahu North Shore

Island of Oahu

The other side of these mountains is Kualoa Ranch, where much of Jurassic Park, and several other movies, were filmed. There are tours available there now. The rides are very bumpy so we did not take a tour.
Mokoli’i Island, also know as Chinaman Hat Island.
Kualoa Beach, also a campground. I never was able to find out what made all these holes on the beach.
Lāʻie Point State Wayside and Kukuihoolua Island.
We don’t see these on the East Coast!
Sunset Beach.
Surfboards for rent at the Banzai Pipeline
Wild chickens everywhere on all the islands. Here they were scavenging our lunches.
Banzai Pipeline, considered the best surfing waves in the world.
The waves were not very high this day.
This was about the best pipeline I saw.
Waimea Bay Beach.
Laniakea Beach, also known as…
Turtle Beach. Here are two Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles. They are protected by law. It is a crime to even get close to them or touch them.
Dole Plantation. Tours and lots of overpriced souvenirs.
And pineapple ice cream! Expensive, but it was delicious!

Close up of some very young pineapples. They are smaller than a baseball at this stage.
