DAY TWO.
Today we woke up early and snorkeled in Hanuama Bay, which is an extreme tourist trap. It get extremely crowded and no one has any respect for the reef there. Everyone walks all over the rocks and coral, destroying the life there. It's a terrible thing to see, but the bay is absolutely beautiful, I just wish it was more isolated. After a morning of seeing some beautiful marine life, we decided to hike the Koko Head trail, which is essentially a trail that follows some sort of old train tracks going up the side of a mountain. It had 1100 stairs, and was decently hard! Can't say it was that strenuous, but my parents were breathing pretty heavy!
From there we headed to Sand Beach State Park, which is a very local beach. The waves are HUGE there! It's actually known for being on of the more dangerous beaches on the island due to the waves "skull crushing capabilities", but we didn't know that at the time. So in we dove, and let me just say, we got crushed!
