If you think there's just surf and sand here in Honolulu, get ready for hidden hikes into volcanic craters and check out some historical places from the largest city and the capital of Hawaii.

I've seen everything from eels to octopuses and tropical fish while here.

It's there as a reminder of that war that happened.
