Waahila Ridge Hike

Waahila Ridge hike is really simple. I did the Waahila Ridge hike with my dog and my dad in the summer before I left for college and really enjoyed it. My dad actually took me on this hike with my little sister when we were younger, around 6 years old. We hated it. I recall

Amazing Experience: Snorkeling in Hanauma Bay, Oahu, Hawaii!

Snorkeling in Hanauma Bay, Oahu, Hawaii is one of my favorite life activities. The water is warm, clean, shallow and in many areas - safe. There is a natural coral reef that blocks large animals (sharks) from coming into the bay so it's safe for everyone. There are rental fins, masks and snorkels available at

Fishing from Shore in Hawaii – is Great Fun!

We just published a new page about shorefishing in Hawaii with some great photos you can find here. We didn't cover a whole lot of "where" to go shorefishing because really you can go just about anywhere. We do give you the official site so you can check restricted areas before heading out for a

Ultra Running in Hawaii

There are people in Hawaii doing 100 mile 'races' with a cutoff time - meaning you must finish the race within 36 hours. Ultra running is something I've only recently thought of doing - in Hawaii, and my first one will likely be in Thailand in 2015. Pre-2014, I think the farthest I ever ran

Papalaua State Wayside Park in West Maui, Hawaii

It might have been this park that started my unholy obsession with hiking and climbing. I lived on Maui for over a year while working for a Maui resort management firm in Lahaina. I lived in Kahana, and I got a lot of days off and free time. Every chance I could, I got my
