Even taking a shower washes into the gray water that finds its way to the ocean. We encourage everyone to do their part to save the oceans when possible. This is an easy one! 😁

We hope you’re having a great summer! Friendly reminder to be aware of the sunscreens and products you use on your skin as they can have effects on marine life!

Make sure that you’re using reef-safe products that are free of harmful chemicals. Even if you don’t enter the water with these products on, they can enter our waterways and end up in the ocean.

This is a great reminder not only how to interact when in Island but good advice whereever you live.

People love Hawaii, not just for the blue ocean, sandy beaches and sunsets..they love the people. The culture and people of Hawaii create the unique experience that people come from all over the world to experience and be part of. As we say, learn Aloha and take it home with you and spread it around...

Getting the word out. We can all help save the coral and waters everywhere by switching to sunscreen with only titanium oxide or non nano zync oxide. The fish and coral will thank you and your body will thank you also. .

One of the great things about visiting Kona and West Hawaii is the great shore diving opportunities!

These are the ultimate beach sites, from nudibranch hotspots to deep drops.

06/26/2022

This is such great advice for making the most of a trip to the islands.

Many travelers pack incorrectly, mispronounce Hawaiian words, and don't buy local while visiting places like the Big Island, Kauai, Maui, and Oahu.

05/21/2022

This is great information whether you stay with us ( i mean we would love to have you) or someone else. 😊🤙🏼

Now that tourism numbers are almost back to where they were in 2019, we are once again faced with some of the issues we were dealing with before the pandemic. I am not here to bust anyone’s chops about visiting the islands, as MANY local businesses were negatively impacted during the shutdown and ...
