Today highlights would be riding the Maitai catamaran for 1.5 hour and Kuloa Ranch’s Hollywood Sites tour.
This day marked 1 of the most terrifying moment in my life: we lost William while walking from hotel to the Maitai catamaran departure point. I was not sure if we headed the right direction so I left William with Tim to go asking for directions. When I came back I asked Tim, where’s William? Tim looked around and there was no sign of him around! Tim said, “He was just here looking at the sign!”. Tim ran back toward the streets, I looked at the beach but I did not think he’d go there by himself because he’s always afraid of the waves, so the only direction he’d go is to go back to the hotel. So Tim ran that way, I followed. After 10 minutes walking, we met a couple and they said they saw a boy was running and calling “Dad! Dad!”. Someone already stopped him when Tim caught up with him. Poor little guy, he was crying so hard. Lots of thanks to those nice people that stopped him, otherwise we could not catch up if he kept running.
Maitai Catamaran: William at first was excited when we got on the catamaran but later he felt asleep, he only woke up that last 15 minutes. Not sure if he was seasick or not. It was a beautiful day to spend the day with family: nice music and clouds and view of the Waikiki beach and Diamond Head. At some point it was rough that the ocean water was splashed into our boat.
Kuloa Ranch: the tours at Kuloa ranch sold out fast 2 weeks in advance so I could only book 5 tickets to the Hollywood Movie sites tour. We were supposed to check in 1 hour before the tour time but we got there late because it took almost 1 hour to get there from the hotel. They called us right on time when we just got to the ranch entrance. They took us around the ranch on a open window bus. It’s a very beautiful ranch where they shot lots of famous movies like Jurassic Park. But in my opinion it’s not a must to visit.
