CGSA Oahu

Island Adventure Club ~ Ali'i Tour

Yesterday the CGSA went on a fun tour at the macadamia nut farm!  There we got to sample many different macadamia nuts from Cinnamon glazed to chocolate covered.  We also sampled many Kona coffees and some tea made especially from Hawaii.  A few of us actually cracked open our own macadamia nuts, island style (with a rock)! 

We learned alot about some of the plants that grow here on the islands.  They allowed us to pick some of our own starfruit to take home and eat too.  We also learned about making fire, husking a coconut and some traditions of Hawaii.  We were able to see some of the buildings used in tv shows like ER, Lost, and Fantasy Island.

October Island Adventure Club

                                        SPACE IS LIMITED! ONLY 8 SPOTS LEFT!!!
                             I am very happy to announce the October Island Adventure. 

We have the opportunity to do a specially arranged "Ali'i Tour" on the windward side near the Kualoa Ranch. 

Oct. 13th at 10am has been reserved for the CGSA. 

We are offered the price of only $12 per person, normally $15. 

 

Come experience Ancient Hawaii's natural beauty and history.  We begin aboard the Adventure Bus and travel through the Kualoa Gardens to see lush gardens of tropical flowers and exotic palms.  When we arrive at the hut Chief Sielu will take over the show with teachings of the many ways fruits and nuts that are local and are used for food, medicine, tools and shelter.  We will also have a fire dance.  Shortly after this we will board a boat and ride across the ancient fish pond where you will learn the history of the islands by water.

 

E Komo Mai, (come) let Chief Sielu and his friends show you the time of your life with music, fire, song and dance.  We will also see areas where movies and television series were filmed, i.e., Gilligan's Isle, Pearl Harbor, Along Came Polly, 50 First Dates.

Do not miss this opportunity to experience something you will surely want to bring your guests to see.  We need at least 10 paid people to make this happen.  This will be limited to the first 20 paid.  Children are invited to attend but have to be on their very best behavior for safety in the boat.

To RSVP for this special event, contact us at cgsaoahu@yahoo.com ASAP!

Fun Times at Manoa Falls

In case you missed it, we had a blast at Manoa Falls today!  The waterfall was awesome to due the recent rains, but with that was also mud!  We all made sure to bring a change of shoes though.  The Falls trail runs approximately .8 miles long.  We saw a few tourists along the way and had some take some pictures of us.  To view more of our Manoa Falls Island Adventure click here.  Enjoy and see you at next month's destination!
