    After a long morning at the Hanalei Beach surfing with enormous waves, we managed to go to the Queen's Bath: it's a pretty nice spot where you see strong current and huge waves crashing against the rocks! Then we had a quick stop at Kalalea Juice Hale to have an Acai Bowl and see the sunset at the beach!Read more

  • Kajak tour to Uluwehi waterfall

    October 28, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Amazing 5-hour tour, kajaking along the Wailua River and hiking to the Ukuwehi waterfall! Even though it's a very busy hike, the flora is absolutely stunning and the waterfall is a nice spot to have a snack and swim! (more pictures are yet to come)Read more

  • Foster Botanical garden

    October 29, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Great visit at the Foster Botanical garden with a private guided tour! Perfect opportunity to learn more about tropical plants (not only Hawaiian)! The white flower is from the fisher poison tree.

  • Hanauma Bay Hike

    October 29, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Since the Hanauma Bay is closed on Tuesday, I used the afternoon to do a relaxed hike in the nature reserve.

    Amazing view at the top of the 'Stairway to heaven'! Best hike in Oahu so far!

  • Hanauma Bay

    October 31, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Really beautiful beach with an education tour before entering - but many tourists. It was nice to go snorkeling, seeing all different kinds of fishes - but the coral riff close to the beach is pretty much dead already.Read more

    Most beautiful beach I have been so far with crystal clear water, amazing mountain panorama and few people! We went there snorkeling and saw many fishes, but sadly no dolphins.

  • Katamaran Tour Waikiki

    Sunset boat tour along Waikiki shores to celebrate Nikki's Birthday! It was super nice to be on the water with fresh air and a beautifully colored sky!

    Very nice 5-hours hike along beautiful waterfalls on top of and around the crater - even good with cloudy weather! Does also involves some climbing and slipping in mud
