In my mind, Kauai is prettiest among all Hawaii islands. Although the island isn’t big, it offers so many things to explores. I would stay one week-long and never get bored. Main town is Lihue and port is Nawiliwili nearby in south-east Kauai. From Lihue driving west, the big thing is Waimea Canyon along with Kokee State […]
Free Hele-On Bus in case rental car is not your option. Kailua-Kona harbor isn’t deep enough and cruises are tender. From Kailua-Kona, you could drive north to Waipio Valley Lookout and Pololu Valley Lookout; drive east to MaunaKea; enjoy MaunaKea Beach or Kapuna Beach; or find Kona coffee at coffee farms. We drove north to Waipio Valley Lookout. […]
Free Hele-On Bus in case rental car is not your option. Hawaii island, also named as the Big Island, is the largest island among Hawaii state. Our cruise stays two days at the Big Island at two port of call: Hilo and Kona. Both ports offer about 10 hours shore time, but port Kona is […]
Starting on Feb 1, 2017, Sunrise viewing reservations at Haleakala National Park are required. Haleakala National Park, “House of the Sun” in Hawaiian language, is surely a sacred place and a popular place for stargazing, sunrise view, and sunset view. Elevated at 10.023 feet (3055 meters), freezing temperature at mountain peak after sunset and before sunrise […]
Maui is the second-largest of the Hawaiian islands featuring countless beautiful beaches and attractions. My top choices are Haleakala National Park and Molokini crater. Molokini is an uninhabited islet great for snorkeling and scuba diving but needs a boat ride. We didn’t go considering kids’ and seniors’ conditions. The next in line is Road to Hana […]
There are three prominent historical sites on Oahu that everyone should visit. First one is an easy guess, USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor. Second one is USS Missouri which berth on another side of Pearl Harbor. The last is Iolani Palace, the royal residence of the rulers of the Kingdom of Hawaii, which is also […]
Polynesian Cultural Center locates at North Shore. If your trip is culture oriented, this will be a good place to spend a day. We didn’t go though. Besides, North Shore is majorly a surfing site. You will like North Shore very much if you are a pro surfer. Before you get into water, double confirm […]
Among whole Oahu, east side is richest in outdoor attractions and outdoor activities. Oahu great lookouts, great hikes, great beaches are all here. Hanauma Bay is the crown jewel among all Oahu. Makapu’u Point light house, Lanikai Beach (+ Pillbox Hike), Byodo-in Temple and Nu‘uanu Pali Lookout all worth a visit. The name Hanauma comes from […]
When talking about Oahu, people think about Waikiki first. In the south, there are more to explore including Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, and hidden-gem Kahala Mandarin. Granted, Waikiki has distinctive mojo. During my first visit in 1999, I spent a lot of time around Waikiki, either swimming from one section to the other or surfing with […]
