Kauai : Top 5 Things to See and Do

Kauai (aka the Garden Island) is the oldest island out of the whole Hawaiian chain. The island is lush and exotic. Kauai does not have any active volcanoes and is the best island (in my opinion). We gave some recommendations for the Big Island (here), so now we are ready to give you our recommendationsContinue reading “Kauai : Top 5 Things to See and Do”

Na Pali Coast Boat Tour

You can’t hear about Kauai and NOT also hear about the Na Pali Coast. This jaw dropping north side of Kauai can only be reached by boat, helicopter or on foot. Many movies have been filmed on Kauai from Jurassic Park to Pirates of the Caribbean. When (not if) you go to Kauai, you MUSTContinue reading “Na Pali Coast Boat Tour”

Big Island : Top 5 Things to See – The good and the meh

The Big Island (aka Hawaii, aka the Orchid Isle) is the youngest island out of the whole Hawaiian chain. The island is also the biggest of all the other Hawaiian islands combined!

Big Island – Manta Ray Tour

*Sadly, this post is void of any pictures from our tour. I only took the one because it was dark and we were all in the water together.* We did the night snorkel with manta rays. It was super fun, but kind of scary. I do not like swimming where you can’t see anything belowContinue reading “Big Island – Manta Ray Tour”

Helicopter Tour on the Big Island

Last minute, we decided to surprise the kids with a helicopter tour. I have always been fascinated by volcanoes, so flying over one was right up my alley. Who says that they want to be a volcanologist when they are 9 years old…this girl! That day, we had to wake up early and go toContinue reading “Helicopter Tour on the Big Island”

Our Adventure to South Point – Green Sand Beach (Papakōlea)

Green sand beach, also known as Papakolea, was formed thousands of years ago and gets it’s green color from olivine crystals that mix in with the sand. No, it is not green like grass. The sand has almost a yellow, brownish green hue. But not only is it cool to say you have been toContinue reading “Our Adventure to South Point – Green Sand Beach (Papakōlea)”

Our Adventure to South Point – Black Sand Beach (Punalu’u)

Hawaii continues to amaze me. From the hot lava fields to the windy grasslands to the lush forests, the beauty of this place is never ending. We decided to make the long trek to the south point, which is about an hour and half from Kailua-Kona on a one lane road through small towns. WeContinue reading “Our Adventure to South Point – Black Sand Beach (Punalu’u)”

Our Big Island Vacation – Hawaii

Aloha from Hawaii! We finally got started traveling again. As many of you know, we had to return to Austin, Texas (our homebase) to have baby Huxton, so we had to quit traveling for a few months with plans to start again when things settled down. We had been planning to go to Hawaii forContinue reading “Our Big Island Vacation – Hawaii”
