For our last day in Hawaii we decided to hit the beach.
We found a buffet breakfast right on the waterfront, all we could eat for $14! There was bread pudding, scrambled eggs, sausages, crispy bacon, muesli, yoghurt, fruit, etc. Absolutely delicious!
Heading back to our hotel to grab our swimmers and head to the beach. I desperately needed to soak up a few more rays before jumping on the plan the next day!
Jay was all antsy as he had not done any exercise in the week, so he hired out a sea kayak, I wasn’t going to let him have all the fun, so I hired out a floating turtle and he towed me around.
At one point a real life turtle actually swam underneath me!
Over on Paia we had been recommended by friends to go out on the yellow catamaran, it cost about $25 each and had an open bar. Apparently our friends had noticed that this boat had the most fun.
We booked the sunset cruise.
It really was a lovely way to spend our last day in Hawaii.
The next morning we were up early and off to the airport.
Have you been to Hawaii? Are you for tropical holidays or something a bit cooler?
That looks like a perfect way to end a holiday. How relaxing. I love how a turtle swam under you. xx
It really was so lovely. I was a little scared by the turtle, as it’s illegal to be within 10 feet of them in Hawaii because they’re protected. But the evening was just stunning!
I LOVE turtles! I’ve never been to Hawaii but it’s on my to go to list. Well, pretty much anywhere is at the moment, after a gruelling semester at uni! Nice post x
It was beautiful! I definitely recommend hiring a car when you go! Enjoy your holidays!
How fun! Turtles swimming underneath you, buffets, and boats…talk about a dream. Glad you had a good time.
It really was lovely. I actually can’t believe we went, so it really does feel like a dream.
Your pictures bring back such memories. My husband and I were lucky enough to visit in 2008. Lovely sunset pictures!
Where did you go when you were over there? It’s just a stunning place!
I love tropical holidays and would always choose one over another destination. I’ve traveled a lot but the warm place memories are the best.
Aren’t tropical holidays the best! I’m all about sunshine holidays, especially living in Melbourne.
this looks like so much fun! love love love the golden picture of the sunset/sail boat
It really was just lovely!
What beautiful photos. That was an enviable last day in Hawaii. It has been many years since I was there but I loved it.
It was a perfect last day!
Oh looks like such a lovely time! I’ve never been there but your pictures are amazing and make me want to go now!
It’s definitely a place everyone should go, just not all at once, it’s pretty busy! We really did have a lovely time though.
What beautiful photos of the sunset!
I love that you got towed. Did you convince him by telling him it would be like bonus exercise?
Nope he’s just awesome and he offered to tow me!
Wow, looks amazing. That sunset! I’d love a tropical holiday.
Aren’t tropical holidays the best!
Gosh you are making me so jealous 🙂 I’ve never visited Haiwaii but it’s definitely on my list to go 🙂 The weather looks so beautiful!
The weather was stunning, so wonderful to get some sun before summer hits here!
Oooo I was there! My Dad is over there now. Very jealous. Great pictures of the beach 🙂 loved Hawaii. A little confused by the food trends over in America but hey, each to their own!
I was also confused by some food trends, but as in Rome, right?
I’m all about tropical holidays! Don’t you just love being out on the water? One day at work I started thinking about how lovely it would be to be out on the ocean, I sent Patrick a message asking “Can we buy a boat?”, he replied “okay” lol Was the turtle that swam under you a big one? They are just beautiful creatures, aren’t they?
The turtle was a big one. They’re so fantastic to watch!
I originally come from a tropical island and tropical holidays are the best 🙂
Randhi, tropical islands really are the best!
I agree 🙂
