The sunsets from the Makapuu Lighthouse Hike are so cool. My favorite thing about the Makapuu Lighthouse Hike is how dog-friendly it is. There are trash cans stationed throughout the hike for the convenience of throwing poop bags away. Dogs are legally allowed on this hike (with proper leashing,) and it’s not too
This is Koko Head hike is really difficult. I like to describe it as “you’ll need strength going up and strategy going down,” and here’s why: Your ascent is pretty similar to doing 50 minutes of level 60 on the stairmaster at the gym. By the time you’re at the top, you’re drenched in

Snorkeling in Hanauma Bay, Oahu, Hawaii is one of my favorite life activities. The water is warm, clean, shallow and in many areas - safe.

Local, Eric Nakamoto recently opened his new business - a powered hang-gliding tour on the North Shore of Oahu! He offered me a chance to ride for FREE! I'm not within 5,000 miles of the islands though! I figured, why not offer it to one of our readers instead? Eric agreed! So, here you go...
