Prophet:
Hmm, I still think there will be a Double RB. Perhaps the jetski is the first RB :duno: and one team only completes this task rather than the 2nd RB? :duno:

There are some very good maps already on this thread. I offer some 360 degree views from various spots, primarily beaches on the eastern coast of Oahu (courtesy of VTHawaii.com):

Makapuu Beach
Makapu'u Pier
Kaupo Beach Park
Kaiona Beach
Waimanalo Bay State Park
Kanika Beach
Lanokai Beach
Kailua Beach Park
Kalama Beach
Oneawa Beach
Laenani Beach
Kane'ohe Beach Park
Waiokka Beach Park
Kualoa Regional Beach Park

Here is the helicopter shot.........



I believe this is taken over the Honolulu/Pearl Harbor/Central Valley area. I lived in Kailua for almost 3 years, but it was almost 40 years ago. Memories fade, but there really isn't that much flat area on the east cost of Oahu. They could certianly use helicopters to get teams from the Honolulu area to the other side of the mountains or up to the Dole plantation on the north end of the central valley.That is a very broad flat area under that helicopter in that shot.

When I lived there, it only took about 30 minutes to drive from Kailua to Honolulu via the Pali Highway........but helicopters would keep any potential people from following taxis with teams in it........that is for sure.

I am not sure what the value of this is, but I have some specific information on Kaaawa Beach Park. Its 2 acres is owned by the city of Honolulu due to a land swap many decades ago. Ka'a'awa Beach Park on Oahu's windward coast has a narrow sandy beach. Because of a shallow reef on the nearshore ocean bottom, the swimming conditions are rather poor. There are a few sandy patches on the nearshore ocean bottom where it's fun to splash around in. Otherwise snorkeling can be fun when the ocean is calm. The beach park is mainly used by fishermen, campers and picnickers. Fishermen come here to catch octopus.

Below is a gorgeous photo of this park. I don't see how it would figure in an Amazing Race finale because none of the photos I have seen of it match what we were shown in the preview of the finale.

That's one of them, but there are more, follow Slowhatch's links I quoted. We hear Rachel in the voiceover...
