Hawaii by Sea: Part Two
Hawaii is, distance-wise, the most isolated place on earth. It consists of 132 islands. Only eight are considered major. The most populated is O’ahu and Honolulu, the capitol city, now the 19th. largest city in the US. Midway, 1,000 miles away, is part of the Hawaiian chain. There are 11 climate zones and only two native mammals, the monk seal and bats. One-third of the worlds’ commercial supply of pineapples comes from Hawaii.
Part One: Turtle Bay on O’ahu’s North Shore
Our plan was simple: fly to Honolulua few days prior to sailing on NCL’s Pride of America and explore the famous North Shore of O’ahu.
