activities which include Jet Ski, Scuba diving, Parasailing etc. We also watche the sunrise
of Kalekala’s summit, it was verry romantic. At last one of the best things we didin
Hawaii was to drive on the the Hana Highway. It was the most amazing and spectacular

between mountai streams and soaring se cliffs, the Hana Highway is less a roadway than
