Day 3
Free day today. This might
be a good day to visit
Sea Life Park. The Hawaii Sea Life Park is a world of wonder as
dancing seals, playful penguins and dolphins delight you in
spectacular shows. A world of drama, as thousands of exotic fish
and marine life keep a watchful eye on the sharks that patrol their
mammoth 300,000 gallon home. Additionally you can also attend
Splash U where you will touch, teach and interact with dolphins.
Alternatively spend the day at
Waimea Valley and Adventure Park. This 1,800 acre historical
park on Oahu's scenic North Shore offers the ultimate Hawaiian
experience. Witness the recreation of activities hundreds of years
old at the ancient living site, Kauhale Kahiko. Enjoy hula
performances, as well as ancient Hawaiian games. Brave some of the
all-new Waimea Adventures wilderness trails on an all terrain
vehicle, mountain bike or horseback, or kayak down the Waimea
River.
Later today,
the team will play its first exhibition game
against a local under 16 or under 18 club team from the Waikiki area
(these games are optional and will be arranged as requested by your
team).

 Day
4
Why not visit
Diamond Head in the east end of Kapiolani Park. From dawn to dusk
you can see minute figures crawling along its precipice. The hike is
tremendously
worthwhile. Enter the crater through a tunnel on its eastern
flank. The climb is easy, the trail well marked to the 760-foot summit.
The reward is a sweeping view of the panorama from Koko Head to Barbers
Point.

|
Day 5
Perhaps visit the
Polynesian Culture
Centre today. Experience native lifestyles and habitats from centuries
ago. The images, history and hospitality of seven Pacific cultures. Mingle
with islanders as they re-enact war dances and wedding ceremonies. Hear
them present the intriguing details of tribal tattooing, ancient
transoceanic navigation, and the preservation of history without a written
language.
The team will
play its second exhibition game today. |
