h turtles and seals children can throw fish to. =Diamond Head=--Named for its volcanic crystals once thought to be diamonds, this familiar landmark has seen a lot of changes take place at Waikiki. If you'd like to hike its flank for a Diamond Head view of things, call the Hawaiian National Guard for permission and directions. [Illustration: Waikiki and Diamond Head] [Illustration: International Market Place] [Illustration: Outrigger Hotel Pool, Waikiki] [Illustration: Waikiki] [Illustration: Outrigger Hotel Beach, Waikiki] OAHU'S EAST END (Koko Head, Sea Life Park, etc.) The drive around the east end of the island from Waikiki to Koko Head, Sea Life Park, Waimanlo and back through Nuuanu Pali's tunnels is as interesting a 35 mile tour as you're likely to take anywhere. The scenery is dramatic--rocky coastline, wide sand beaches, transparent water, and offshore islands with the rugged Koolau Mountains as a backdrop. =Koko Head and Koko Crater=--Impressive peaks formed by Oahu's last eruption. =Hanauma Bay=--Watch for sign at the top of Koko Head. Idyllic beach, placid water, and coral reef make this a perfect place for snorkeling and swimming. Take a picnic. You won't want to hurry away. =Halona Blow Hole=--A natural sea geyser that spouts through a submerged lava tube. Temperamental when the waves aren't running right. =Koko Crater Botanic Garden=--Opposite Koko Head Sandy Beach. Two hundred acres of cactus, succulents, plumeria and other dry land plants. =Makapuu Beach Park=--Outstanding body surfing beach. =Sea Life Park=--Opposite Makapuu Beach.
