If you stay at WaveCrest, this church is a very short drive away. So simple, so austere. It reminded me of what it must have been like when it was an outpost for Fr. Damien's work on the island. The inspiration was incredible. It is such a beautiful, quiet, peaceful place for reflection and prayer.

No longer usable, this was the first church on the island

This one seems more utilized and while it has been saved, peeling doors and railings cry out for a fix up party. Still, a lovely setting and a spiritual purity in its simplicity and setting. You can walk in - or at least it was unlocked for us.

We biked to the longest wharf in Hawaii. Most of the deeper water activities originate from here. Beautiful view of the other islands and sunset from the wharf.

I recommend going at high tide for the snorkeling, as the corals are in really shallow water. Nice scenic spot for a dip, or picnic. You can see Lanai and Maui from here
