A fellow Yelp user recently started a discussion on "10 Places You Can't Go In Hawaii", based on a VERY INTERESTING! article she read in Honolulu Magazine.
The forbidden places mentioned in that article are:
1.) The Inner Workings of the Tetsuo Harano Tunnels
2.) Moiliili’s underground caves
3.) The (FHB) Bankers Club
4.) The USS Hawaii (a nuclear sub based at Pearl)
5.) Kukio (a private golf course on the Big Island)
6.) The Highest Roof in the State (on top of the FHB building in downtown, Honolulu)
7.) The Red Hill Underground Fuel-Storage Facility
8.) Doris Duke's Bedroom, Shangri-La
9.) Puuwai, Niihau
10.) The Bank of Hawaii Operations Center
If there's any place on this list I'd most be interested in seeing, it would be the Red Hill Underground Fuel-Storage Facility. According to the article, ever since 9/11/01, the facility has been locked down, and today virtually no civilians are granted access.
I heard a rumor that there's also a "James Bond-like" ocean-side cave on the north side of Kaneohe Marine Base that serves as a submarine station. Can anyone chime in on that one?
Then there's the (supposedly now inactive) nuclear storage site over by Kolekole Pass. My friend told me those were actually nuclear missile SILOS there, pointing toward China, Russia and N. Korea, but not sure if that was/is true.
