Oahu Surfing Guide: Ka He’e Nalu i O’ahu

May 1, 2019 Gabrielle Bardell Comments 0 Comment

All amazing photos in this Oahu Surfing Guide are courtesy of Matt Heirakuji. Surfing isn’t just a sport. It’s the bond shared between people and the ocean that humans have known for hundreds (maybe even thousands) of years. It’s an expression of self, of culture, and of one’s innermost longings to find stillness in world of chaos. And it all began right here in sweet sweet Polynesia. Lucky for us, surfing has evolved to capture a broad audience, with breaks…

It’s another beautiful day at Mui Nui Golf Club

Affordable Golf on Maui at Maui Nui Golf Club

April 26, 2019 Andrew Coghill Comments 0 Comment

Greens fees can equal plane fares in Hawaii, but not at Mui Nui, home to affordable golf and unbeatable weather. Maui’s year-around warm and sunny weather makes it an ideal golfing destination. But as more than one vacationing golfer has discovered, tropical islands come with tropical rains that can cancel a golf outing quicker than you can say albatross. In Kihei, on the dry South Coast, rain remains a rarity even in the wet season, giving the ocean-side community the…

Hiking Lahaina Pali Trail

March 23, 2019 Adrian Manuel Comments 0 Comment

My New Year’s Resolution for 2019 was to go on more hikes. (Okay, to at least go on 1 hike.) You’d think this wouldn’t be a problem with all the outdoor opportunities afforded to me as a Maui local, but as someone who spends most of his waking hours typing on a laptop, the concept of hiking is its own mountain to climb. So when my friends pitched me to go with them on the Lahaina Pali Trail – which…

Sunset at Haleakala - fast descending sun, its rays outstretched like arms yawning.

Sunset at Haleakala – Solitude Among the Stars

January 29, 2019 Adrian Manuel Comments 0 Comment

You don’t expect to find peace standing on a volcano of all places. You think, maybe I’ll get a good photo of the sun or two, or a thousand. You think of (or forget) the lava way, way beneath you and when this hot spot might get going again, hopefully NOT in our lifetime. As popular Hawaiian myth goes, the volcano goddess Pele created the Hawaiian Islands through the forges of lava. Also according to legend, Haleakala – Maui’s dormant…

Christmas on Maui – Things To Do

October 25, 2018 Adrian Manuel Comments 0 Comment

It may not snow on the islands, but we can assure you that Christmas on Maui is just as festive. You’d be surprised at the possibilities of trading in a White Christmas for a sandy one. A Christmas in Hawaii will be a lot warmer, that’s for sure. Where else would you get the luxury of a day at the beach this time of year? Maui is full of the holiday spirit, sporting local events, festivities, and entertainment to fulfill…
