I can't wrap up talking about Hawaii these last few weeks without a shoutout to the birthday girl my mom, Jill! Thanks for always supporting me and I know you enjoyed the best trip to Hawaii last year thanks to your expert planner. Love you!

Kalua Pork is a staple that you will see on many menus and be prepared to order the mouth watering dish.

What is kalua, anyway? Simply put, the word means “(from the) pit,” so basically, any food that has been cooked in an underground oven called an imu is considered “kalua.” The most famous—and most popular at luaus—is kalua pig, but many other foods including fish and vegetables are also cooked in this way.

Here is a glimpse at some of the photos we look while we worked our way up to the Napali Coast. Waimea Canyon and the Na Pali Coast are two of the most scenic locations in all of Hawaii. This tour will guide you through the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” until you reach the Na Pali overlook to view landscapes hundreds of thousands of years in the making. Kauai’s rugged terrain will come to life as we share stories and legends along the way

A Napali coast catamaran ride will give you an incredible sightseeing experience if you stomach can handle it. There are sea turtles, scores of fish and schools of dolphin to catch a glimpse of or even swim with. The seas are known to be rough though so make sure to take your motion sickness preventative if you embark on this adventure.

At a glance, the flesh of Kauaʻi Sugarloaf is rich green and the outside flesh will feel much harder than other pineapple, even though the inside of Sugarloaf is softer, it has been described as creamy with no strings and with an edible core.

A pineapple that is heavy for its size in comparison to other pineapples the same size will be sweeter. Sugar weighs more than water, hence a really sweet fully ripened pineapple is heavier than a unripe pineapple of the same size.

The Kauai Sugarloaf farm has tours every week and we highly recommend hopping on one or at least picking up a pineapple or two to devour. It will truly be the best pineapple of your life.

This is Beemo and we took him out on a field trip in Kauai from Kauai Humane Society and it was a highlight of the trip! I highly recommend doing so on a day of exploring.

Enjoy the natural beauty of the Garden Island, get your “dog fix,” and give a shelter dog a break from the kennels all at the same time! Taking the dog out of the shelter and allowing him or her to have a fun day is incredibly beneficial to the dog’s mental health, it often helps the dog get adopted, and most importantly, we get to learn more about the dog’s true behavior

It is time for my personal favorite island, Kauai!

Kauaʻi is Hawaiʻi's fourth largest island and is sometimes called the "Garden Island". The oldest and northernmost island in the Hawaiian chain is draped in emerald valleys, sharp mountain spires and jagged cliffs aged by time and the elements. Centuries of growth have formed tropical rainforests, forking rivers and cascading waterfalls! Some parts of Kauaʻi are only accessible by sea or air, revealing views beyond your imagination. More than just dramatic beauty, the island is home to a variety of outdoor activities. You can kayak the Wailua River, snorkel on Poʻipū Beach, hike the trails of Kōkeʻe State Park, or go ziplining above Kauaʻi's lush valleys. But, it is the island's laid-back atmosphere and rich culture found in its small towns that make it truly timeless. Explore the regions of Kauaʻi and make your escape to discover the undeniable allure of the island.

Stark volcanic landscapes, emerald valleys, and black-sand beaches—Maui really brings the drama. Sure, there are plenty of resorts and hotels here, but Maui never loses itself to tourism. Instead, it remains grounded in lush nature, Hawaiian culture, and aloha spirit. And seeing the sun rise from the summit of Haleakala or driving the Road to Hana will make even the most jaded traveler think this is paradise found. Let me know if you are ready to head to Maui to check it out for yourself!

Maui has several craft beverage companies. Mahalo Aleworks is serving up tasty beer and Maui Wine has delicious wine for you to try. Maui Wine has a special blend of Pineapple Wine with local snacks that is a unique must try if you go into Upcountry Maui to experience it. We also saw deer across the road from Maui Wine. We were not expecting to see deer in Maui.

My personal favorite city to stay in though is Kihei. Checkout this almost secluded beach right across from our resort. Kihei still keeps you in walking distance to activities, shopping and lots of restaurants. Plus of course shave ice to top off your night.

02/09/2023

Lahaina is one of the top cities that tourists stay in when visiting Maui. Lahaina has over a thousand years of rich history, and was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1820 to 1845. From beaches to restaurants, Lahaina has some of the best attractions Maui has to offer.
Lahaina's Front Street has been ranked one of the "Top Ten Greatest Streets" by the American Planning Association. Enjoy a relaxing stroll, and if rest is needed, take a break under the massive Banyan tree located in the town square.

Stop and relax at the top of a volcano at Haleakala National Park for an awesome sunrise or sunset. Haleakala National Park is home to Maui's highest peak. Rising 10,023 feet above sea level, Haleakala means "house of the sun" and is where demigod Maui lassoed the sun, slowing its passage so people had more time to dry kapa (cloth) and grow food. The dormant volcano's "crater" is actually a valley carved by erosion. You can also ride a bike down the volcano with tour groups but this is not a relaxing bike ride.

We all love Shake Guide self drive tours on all the islands. The Road to Hana is of course one of the most popular things to in Maui. Shaka Guide makes it easy!

Shave Ice is taken to the next level on any of the Hawaiian islands with the natural flavors, ice cream centers and decadent toppings. It will have you coming back night after night for the no longer just a childhood delight. Ululani's is voted time and time again the best shave ice.

Nicknamed “The Valley Isle,” due to the great valley that lies between its two major volcanoes, Maui is known for its stunning natural beauty as well as its high-end luxury resorts and popular tourist attractions. Soak up the sun on the sparkling sands of Kaanapali Beach, touring a local farm, strolling down the charming main street of historic Lahaina town or frolicking through the fragrant fields of the island’s lavender farm.

The Big Island of Hawaii seems determined to break the norm; the stereotype of the average tropical island, that is. Here you'll find the ongoing battle between green forests, black lava fields, the ocean, and the rain almost incomprehensible; the diversity is simply stunning. There is so much more to discover on the island than was talked about this week. Let me know if you are ready to plan your trip to the Big Island!

Manta rays are truly remarkable and beautiful creatures, and Hawaii is one of the few places in the world where you can be an arm’s length away from manta rays. Travelers from around the globe visit Kona on the Big Island to swim and dive with manta rays. They can be viewed from snorkel or scuba diving tours.

How cute is this??? You can hold a seahorse during the tour at the Ocean Rider Seahorse Farm. Each island is full of possibly once in a lifetime experiences.

Located north of Hilo, Akaka Falls is one of the best-known waterfalls on the Big Island. Surrounded by lush, tropical jungle, the 442-foot-high Akaka Falls is easily accessible by a short, paved loop trail, making it one of the most popular and scenic attractions on the island. This is chasing waterfalls done the easy way without a big hike!
