We hit this part of our loop trip from Honolulu after sunset. Surprisingly, the island and this road (Rte 83 and Rte 72) are notably enjoyable by moonlight. We returned to visit Hanauma Bay, so we got to see the road from there to Honolulu three times. It was nice in the daylight, but the first view under moonlight was the best. I really enjoyed Hanauma, despite a bad sunburn. It is very crowded, but i can'r resist an opportunity to play with animals - including fish who love handouts (Bring a loaf of bread).

This 400-acre garden was originally built by the US Army to provide flood protection for Kane'ohe. With the Ko'olau mountains as its backdrop, the garden specializes in Hawaiian flora, the perfect place for a weekend picnic with the kids. If you love nature photography, this worth a visit. There is a duck pond where kids can feed the ducks as well as weekend camping areas. There are also several hiking trails to choose from and bringing insect repellant will be most helpful as well. The bathrooms near the camping areas are well kept.
