Photos from my visit to Pahonu

[TSMIV]

Hi Magnum Mania folk,

My family and I were lucky enough to visit Hawaii last week and our number 1 priority was (of course) to visit Pahonu! I thought that I’d post a couple of photos from the visit, as well as some snaps that I took when I visited Wai’alae Beach Park and Diamond Head.

Bear with me as my technical skills are rather pedestrian and thus it may take me a couple of days to load up all the photos!

Plus, I thought that I’d post some hints and tips after I posted all my photos, so watch this space!

Aloha

Here's a tribute to this magnificent website - written on the sand between the tidal pool and back gate entrance to Pahonu....

Here's the main wall near the tidal pool...

Oh my!....(you know! )

Take your time, we'll just be here panting and pacing in anticipation.....


First one looks good. Appears as though things are being readied for the new occupants.....


Will be standing by. Thanks for posting. Love the tribute!

Some shots of the boathouse (at least I think it's the boathouse, feel free to correct me..)

Here's another one of the tidal pool with Rabbit Island in the background (we had a swim in the tidal pool and all my aches and pains disappeared immediately - those waters have magical properties... )

Of course I was compelled to perform my standard ritual of using the religious properties of both the (i) sandy entrance to Pahonu and (ii) the tidal pool wall to ‘bless’ my Detroit Tigers cap and Magnum PI Hawaiin shirt…….

Here's some shots from the front of Pahonu..

Of course I had 'bless' my cap and shirt at the front gate..

Here’s a few views looking over the back fence (near the tidal pool) into Pahonu

Here’s two more views from the back of Pahonu

Aloha TSMIV!

Many thanks for sharing your Pahonu pics with us!
LOVED your MM and DT hat/shirt tributes - very creative!!!
It looks as though they have been really busy pruning.
You are correct that is the boathouse.....they cut down that nice tree that was right next to the stairwell which is a shame, but I'm guessing it was obstructing the view from the other side of the fence and maybe even doing some damage to the foundation ( a guess). They even ripped down all the greenery on the main house.....I don't think I've ever seen a pic of that one upper lanai without foliage.....interesting to see that the railing up there is curved on top - thanks for that one TSMIV!
I had to smile when I saw the cherry picker/hoist parked on the tennis court.....I guess no one there can climb a palm tree like Eve could!....joking aside the picker is the way to go with a place lie that. I bet the buildings are still squinting from seeing daylight again in a very long time. Great to see that it's coming back to life!
Look forward to your next installment of pics TSMIV!!!!
Thanks again!

Lovin' it!

Thank you for taking the time and effort to share. Some of us will probably never get there ourselves, and this is the next best thing.

As KENJI points out, interesting to see the scalloped top on the upper lanai surround.

All the pics are stellar, in my opinion. Wonder if the new owners will nix any pix in the future? Not sure how they could prohibit passers by/visitors from snapping away, but it's been my experience, if you have enough money/power/influence, you can get/do just about anything you want.

Getting these all saved to my hard drive, added to my collection of Pahonu pics acquired from everybody who's ever posted their own on MM thanks to all who have!

Got pics?
