Hawaiian Winter Vacation

Here are some photos from our vacation in Hawaii. Half of the time we enjoyed the island of Oahu and we stayed in the beautiful Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki Beach. We saw a Luau, we drove around the island, we swam with dolphins, visited Pearl Harbor and mostly we stayed at the beach. In the second half of our vacation we were at Kawai. We stayed at the amazing Princeville Hotel, and we had a killer view from our room.  In Kawai we stayed most of the time at our hotel's pool and beach, and we also drove around the island a little bit. One of the days we did 3 hours of kayaking up and down the Hanalei river. One other day Sylvi did 2 scuba dives, one of them with an underwater scooter (cool!).

That was a great vacation, and we were very sad to go back home.

As always you can download all the photos here.

After over an hour of rowing we found this little piece of land to rest

Down in the Hanalei valley is the river we did the kayaking

Danit was the only brave one to swim in the Wailua river

Adi didn't like the wind in the back of the convertible, so she preferred to sleep instead

Danit loves diving. We saw so many fish right outside of our hotel

One of the highlights of our time in Oahu was a swim we did with dolphins, and we even got to kiss them!!
