Do you know where to go to see one of the most ama

Do you know where to go to see one of the most amazing sunrises in the world? Haleakala on the island of Maui! The towering summit sits high above the clouds and when the sun begins to light up the sky, the views are simply incredible🌅⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It is even said that the demi-god Maui once snared the sun itself atop this famous mountain. Legend says that Maui's mother Hina was renowned for making beautifully detailed tapa cloth made from the bark of local trees. Hina spent many hours painstakenly pounding the bark into smooth cloth, and would hang the finished pieces so that they could dry under the sun. Unfortunately Ka Lā, the sun, would travel quickly across the sky so Hina was not able to get her cloth dry☁️⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Maui quickly took it upon himself to fashion a rope out of coconut fibers, and went to the top of Haleakala where he quickly caught Ka Lā has they tried to zoom past. There was quite the struggle, but eventually Maui made the sun promise that they would move slower so that Hina could dry her tapa cloth, and the people of Hawaii would be able to grow and blossom under the sunlight. And that is how Maui captured the sun! ☀

@dolphinsandyou offers one of the most amazing experiences you could possibly have in Oahu... SWIMMING WITH WILD DOLPHINS! 🐬⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Take a cruise along the west coast of Oahu, swim with wild Hawaiian spinner dolphins, snorkel in the crystal-clear ocean waters, and then enjoy the amenities of this fun boat- kayaking, SUP, water slide, and live entertainment! 🛶⁠⁠🎵🛥
⁠⁠
If this hasn't excited you enough, check out this 5-star review below of our customer's amazing experience on this cruise:⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"Amazing Day!" Reviewed by: Heather, 2021/02/28⁠⁠
⁠⁠
"The experience on this trip was amazing. We are avid snorkelers and love the ocean and animals so our expectations were high. The crew was friendly, fun, kind, (even when we had to be reminded of the safety rules because we got a bit excited when we saw the dolphins) professional, talented and explained the rules and safety precautions very well. We saw a large pod of dolphins as we swam in the bluest of water, sighted whales, snorkeled with tropical fish and two turtles and cruised down the gorgeous West coast listening to Hawaiian music. Magical. Group tours have there frustrations because of the number of people trying to see things at the same time but as far as group tours go this was one of the best we have done! We appreciated the Aloha we received from all the crew! You will not regret going on this trip! Mahalo to all the crew and Tommy who greeted us on the docks."

If you are traveling to Kauai, and would like to avoid the mandatory 10-day quarantine, you have two choices:
1. Go to Oahu, Maui, or the Big Island first and stay for 72 hours or more and take a second COVID-19 test before flying into Kauai✈️
2. Fly to Kauai directly, but stay at a designated “resort bubble” for three days and take a post-travel covid-19 test 🏨
