Our vacation in Hawaii was a blast. This was by far our best trip so far. We stayed 6 days on the island of Oahu and the remaining part of the trip on Maui.

I finally had the time to process, sort and post the first part of the pictures from Oahu. Follow this link to navigate directly to the album for Oahu.

Here is a picture of our first sunrise view from the beach in front of our condo. We also had a visit that morning…

We really enjoyed driving on the North Shore. Sunset Beach was probably our favorite beach on Oahu. We were in the low season, so the beaches were almost empty. It was simply awesome. We also saw some great surfing there.

We took a private lesson of surfing for 2.5 hours. We took so many waves that we could not paddle back to our teacher at the end: our arms were giving up! This was really fun.

Corinne and I also had the opportunity of doing some snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. We almost had a better experience snorkeling at Sharks Cove on the North Shore. There were less people and the conditions were much better when we went. The water was crystal clear.

We took the hike on the Diamond Head Crater, which offered a nice view over Waikiki and Honolulu.

Many more pictures are available in the photo album below. I still have to process the pictures from our time on Maui. I hope to be able to post them soon.

Enjoy!
