About
We will pick you up from your Hotel in Waikiki and immerse you on a very relaxing tour. Enjoy the beautiful scenic views and experience meditation while practicing the Ho'oponopono a Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.
The first stop is at The Byodo-In Temple, a non-denominational Buddhist temple located in Valley of the Temples Memorial Park. The temple is a replica of a 900-year-old Buddhist temple at Uji in Kyoto Prefecture of Japan. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a functioning Buddhist temple in the proper sense as it does not host a resident monastic community nor an active congregation. Inside the Byodo-In Temple is a 18 ft statue of the Lotus Buddha, a wooden image depicting Amitābha. It is covered in gold and lacquer. Outside is a three-ton, brass peace bell. Surrounding the temple are large koi ponds that cover a total of 2 acres.
Leaving the Temple we will drive towards Waimanalo Beach (scenic views), considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, it is the longest stretch of sandy shoreline on Oʻahu. On the way we will pass the Makapuu lighthouse, and we will stop at the most famous tourists spots for pictures.
We will also drive by Hanauma Bay (scenic views), one of the most popular tourist destinations on the Island.
