These Are The Locations From BLACKPINK’s Summer Diary In Hawaii Preview Video
On August 30 (KST), BLACKPINK released a preview of their upcoming Summer Diary In Hawaii. Based on what is available in the video, it appears the girls visited O’ahu during their Hawai`i vacation. O’ahu, known as “The Gathering Place”, is home to the largest percentage of the state’s population and is known for its world-class shopping, rich history, and for being home to the surfing mecca of the world.
The girls of BLACKPINK appeared to have a lot of fun adventuring around the Hawaiian island, and now you can visit these locations too!
1. Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve
Declared a marine life conservation area and underwater park in 1967, Hanauma Bay is a popular tourist destination and accommodates roughly 90,000 visitors per month! Historically, the bay was used as a recreational area by ali’i (Native Hawaiian nobility), including King Kamehameha and Queen Ka’ahumanu. It has been featured in moves and television shows such as Blue Hawaii and Hawaii Five-O.
Hanauma Bay is known for its wealth of marine life, including an abundance of parrotfish and honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles). Bear in mind if you do visit the bay, it is illegal to touch or otherwise disturb honu, which are protected under federal and state law. The bay is closed to visitors on Tuesdays to allow the fish a day of respite, allowing them to feed without interruptions.
All visitors are required by law to refrain from mistreating the marine animals and from touching or walking on the coral.
