After Diamond Head?
We are planning on watching the sunrise on Diamond Head and therefore will probably done with the whole excursion by 10:00 a.m. What is a good activity to do after that - is it too tiring to do soemthing else?
We were thinking of spending the rest of the day at Pearl Harbor activity - how long is it open until, will it get too crowded later in the day???

I thought the sunrise was better at Makapuu.
You will probably want a nice cold drink or shaved ice. There's a new Wolfgang Puck's a block from the zoo across from the beach. After a refresher you could go on to Pearl Harbor.

If you want to do Pearl harbor, I would go first thing in the morning to avoid crowds and waiting. I believe it opens at 7:30.
I second Hunauma Bay. Keep in mind that I believe it is closed on Tuesdays.

thanks - i will look into the closing schedule. one thing though - i don't know how to swim and am kinda hestiant to do the whole snorkeling thing. Are the waters deep in Hunauma Bay? I know they put a life vest on you and if the waters aren't too deep, I guess I can manage . Has anyone else done it that isn't a swimmer???

Keep in mind that the parking lot at Hanauma bay fills up very quickly. By 10:00am you may or may not be able to find a spot. As far as snorkeling, my mother in law also doesn't swim but had no problems snorkeling. It's good to try it for the first time at a place like Hanauma because the water's calm and it's an easy entry from the beach. If Hanauma is full, just keep heading the same direction along the coast (it's a beautiful drive) and spend the afternoon at one of the windward side beaches like Kailua.
I agree Pearl Harbor will be too crowded at that time. It's best to get there right before they open or later in the afternoon. In between is very busy.
