La Mariana Restaurant & Bar


Listen to our podcast!
Tonight, The Clams find themselves at La Mariana Sailing Club, a throwback to the days of old Hawaii: bamboo, stuffed fish, fish tanks,

tiki-inspired columns, seashells, fishnets and twinkling lights. Its all about the ambiance at La Mariana. From the moment you step into view of the Ke'ehi Lagoon during sunset, to when you've just finished your meal, comfortably lying back on the high-back wicker chairs, its not long before you understand why they say La Mariana is a feast for the senses.

A trip to Hawaii just isn't complete without a stop at this hard to find but well worth the hunt spot on the way to airport from downtown just of Sand Island Access Road.
We highly recommend this hidden spot for those who are craving a little something different to the usuals that Waikiki offers..

Waikiki Aquarium

Under The Sea!
listen to our podcast


For this Podcast we made a day trip to the Waikiki Aquarium that is located across from Kapiolani Park in Honolulu. The is something everyone in a family can enjoy no matter what age they are. The entrance fee to visit this attraction is affordable even for a college student. The aquarium has different a few rooms with different themes, for example there is a coral room with different corals and a video and a jelly fish area, a room Clair really enjoyed. All of the exhibits are interactive in some way and provide useful information on the sea life, they are even able to be understood by young children. There is an indoor area with many tanks and an outdoor area that has some stations where you can actually interact and touch some sea creatures. There are many family friendly volunteers stationed all around that are eager to answer questions and talk about the different creatures. We found the volunteers very helpful with answering some of our questions. This aquarium is a perfect size because it's not too big or too small. It is a small enough size to be able to see everything there is and has a unique assortment of animals. You are able to see them all in a reasonable amount of time. It also has a small gift shop to buy souvenirs to remember your adventure and at the entrance you are offered electronic devices that will explain a tank to you so you are able to do a self tour. This is a great place to see and learn about the beautiful and unique sea life that we have here in Hawaii.
