WINDWARD OAHU Your Introduction to Honolulu As we approach the island of Oahu, the long antici pated view of "Vacation in Paradise" unfolds in a mag nificent panorama of sparkling white beaches, lush tableland and tropical mountains. From the ship we look North-Northwest of our line of approach to Mokapu Point, on Nokapu Peninsula, to Makapuu Point off our starboard bow. Most of the land area between the tWo points was once primarily used for dairy and truck farms and some beef cattle. A sugar plantation Was located in the Wai manalu district. The Kalama, Kailua and lanikai Beach areas have always been populiar recreational grounds for islanders. But the slow, tortuous route over the Nuuanu Pall tended to restrict any great surge of development. With the completion of the Wilson Tunnel through the Koolau Range, the Windward Side became easily accessible to Honolulu and residential development moved ahead at an overwhelming pace. Today, much of the agricultural land has been converted into vast housing developments. In the distance you can see Mokulua Rock, a bird sanctuary off Lanikai and, as the view tightens, Manana Island (popularly known as Rabbit Island) off Waima nalu Beach opposite the site of Sea Life Park. Some will tell you Manana was called Rabbit Island because it resembles a rabbit. Others say the name came from the THE Polynesian PUBLISHED DAILY AT SEA BY Pacific Far East Line fact that rabbits were once released on the island in a commercial venture that failed. The most distinctive landmark in sight is Makapuu Point, at the southerly tip of the Koolau Range, with its lighthouse perched on a bluff high above the waves crashing at the base of the cliff. Makapuu Light, sitting on its hill top, has been the "guiding eye" for ships approaching Honolulu for many years. Makapuu is a fitting name for such a setting as it means "Hill Point" and/or "Bulging Eyes" in Hawaiian. Shortly after leaving Makapuu Point, we steam past a sweeping white sand beach. A highway separates the beach area from a shallow valley that reaches to the foothills. The valley, Kalama Valley, once supported small pig and chicken farms until April l, 1946, when a devastating tidal wave swept from the Pacific, surged over the beach and highway into Kalama Valley, de stroying most of the farms. The wide expanse of green lawns you see in the approximate center of the valley is the Hawaii Kai Golf Course The Koolau Range (the "Windward" Range), the water reserve of Oahu, reaches north from Makapuu Point to Kahuku at the north tip of Oahu. The highest point is about 3,100 feet and the range averages 2,600 feet. The range is of great importance to Oahu since it traps moisture brought in by the trade winds, causing heavy rainfall in the mountain areas. The rain water eventually finds its way into great underground artesian basins. The Koolau Range has provided pure drinking water for Oahu for centuries. HONOLULU ARRIVAL INFORMATION Arrival - The S.
