HANAUMA BAY, HAWAII


For those who want to travel Hawaii, i recommend visiting Hanauma Bay. Hana translates to ‘bay’ and uma means ‘shelter’. Hanauma Bay Hawaii is both a Natural Preserve and a Marine life Conservation District. These provisions help the government protect the natural wildlife and natural area. This bay supports a large population of Green sea turtle, Parrot Fish, Puffers, Trumpet Fish and of course Hawaii’s State Fish, the Humuhumukunupua’a fish, or just Humu.
The history of this bay is Hanauma Bay is evidence of a volcanic burst of activity on the island tens of thousands of years ago. These volcanic eruptions formed the crater on the sea floor, and waves from the ocean eventually filled the circular bay.  As a result, we now enjoy one of the most geographically protected marine sanctuaries in the world.

The beach at Hanauma Bay can be crowded during the morning hours, so better you visit in the mid-afternoon. During your stay you can also take a short tram ride up to the rim of the crater to view the entire bay.
Hanauma Bay is also the famous of all Hawaii’s snorkeling beaches because of it is high population, clam shallow water, and white sand. While snorkeling, you will spot schools of colorful fish and perhaps even dolphins and turtles. For your information, there have two type of inner reef in Hanauma Bay which is inner and outer reef. The safe inner reef is perfect for children and beginners, while the more challenging outer reef will thrill advanced snorkelers on Hanauma Bay tours.

TOP OF THE ROCK OBSERVATION DECK, NEW YORK

For those who like to travel to New York City, I  recommen visiting The Top of the Rock Observation Decks. It is officially opened in 1933 and it is consisted of the 69th and 70th floors. It was originally designed to resemble the upper decks of a 1930s grand ocean liner, goose neck fixtures, and large air- conditioning vents intended to look like the stacks an a ship’s deck.

Once up to the viewing decks, the first two levels have a low wall with large Glass screens which enable you to get great views and photographs, there are reasonable sized gaps between the screens to enable cameras to get clear shots.
From here we get a great view and also took a picture of the Empire State Building, and you also get an impressive view of Central Park. 
This building open to public from 8 am until 12 midnight and the last elevator going up at 11 pm. All guests will be directed to the Rockefeller Center Concourse via the Sixth Avenue subway entrance located between 49th and 50th Streets, to access Top of the Rock.
