January 30, 2010 - Dole Pineapple Plantation and Waimea, Oahu

We started the day with a trip to the Dole Pineapple Plantation, not far from Honolulu.

We spent some time wandering the beautiful Plantation Gardens with its tropical plants.

They had a pretty impressive koi pond.

We headed farther north to the coast and stopped at Waimea Beach.  The beach is known for its massive surf but it was very calm today.

However, nearby was the Wiamea Break. This is where a river dumps into the ocean.  The volume of water coming down was massive and created a surf...and the surfers were surfing the river.
