Hawaii, Oahu

Alright!

I had a ROCKIN? time on it! We departed from Kewalo Basin and the second we hit open waters, the captain gunned the turbo charged engines and we went FLYING across the waves! The speed of this boat is like way amazing and totally exhilarating. We were also lucky enough to run across a pod of Hawaiian spinner dolphins and they were swimming and jumping all around us for the longest time.

The highlight of the boat ride was definitely the SPINS! The captain would go REALLY fast, then suddenly slow down and then maneuver the boat into this really tight fast spin. It was like a thrill ride at an amusement park or something, but no parks have such an amazing view of Waikiki and Diamond Head. Seriously, it was like way fun and I cannot WAIT to go again!

Best way to bring in the New Year

My husband and I went on this sail last year in Hawaii, and it was by far the best time I had while I was there. The catamaran is really beautiful and I loved just chilling out on the nets at the front of the boat. The hubby and I just snuggled and sipped our drinks while watching the fireworks and the skyline. All of Waikiki was sparkling and being on the water was the BEST way to see the fireworks. I know that back at home, it can get really crowded on the shoreline so not having to deal with the mess of people was a fantastic perk. A great big thank you to the captain and crew and we will see you again soon!

INCREDIBLE! OMG!

THANK YOU THANK YOU! This was hands down totally the best tour that my husband and I went on while we were in Hawaii. Not only did we get to see so much of the island, but our guide was just amazing. I did a Pearl Harbor tour the day before, and I was half asleep the whole time since the guide was so dull, but not on this tour! He kept everyone engaged and was a fountain of information and knowledge. The best part? Swimming in the waterfall of course ^_^ How can you go to Hawaii and NOT swim in a waterfall? Seriously, if you have a free day, go on this tour. If you don't have a free day? MAKE ONE! :D

Great time in Hawaii!

The one thing my mom wanted to see when we went to Hawaii was the volcano and this tour made her SO happy. Everyone in the family loved and I am so glad that we decided on this one. You could tell that our guide really and truly enjoyed his job and he was a complete fountain of knowledge. From the volcano, to the gardens to the little stores, we had a complete blast everywhere we went.

Highly recommend this tour for anyone going to the big island in Hawaii and I will be taking my in-laws when we come back next year ^_^

a night i wont forget

my husband and i went on the star of honolulu last year for our annual trip to hawaii, and he surprised me the dinner cruise on valentines day! it was just perfect. i thought we were going to go to a regular dinner but instead he takes me to this luxury ship and even got the 5 star!! that was just too much! the jazz music was so relaxing, so much better than the cheesey hula music, and the food was ridiculously delicious ^_^ like i haven't had anything that good since. the steak like melted into my mouth and the appetizers were so yummers too~!!!!

i wish i was in hawaii for valentines again this year so i could go again XD

It was the perfect night!

When my family and I went to Hawaii, we were looking for a night out and this combo was totally perfect! They picked us up from our hotel and took us to the dinner cruise and the food and entertainment was awesome. My mom was really liking those Maitais ^_^ *hehehe* After the cruise, the bus took us straight to the Legends show where they handed all of us ANOTHER Maitai (Whoo!) before we sat down. The show was a lot of fun and I totally loved Elton John. Anyone who can rock out like deserves a standing ovation. Lady Gaga was rather "meh" but everyone else really tore it up. For the cost and the experience, TOTALLY worth it :D I mean there were six of us ranging from 10 yrs ~ 57 yrs and we ALL had a ton of fun~!

Best spa treatment in Hawaii!

I am a facial and spa connoisseur and absolutely love to get treatments whether I am at home or on vacation. During this last trip to Oahu, I decided to try out the Mandara Spa at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and it is hands down the best I have ever experienced. Not only are the facilities impeccable (and I will go more into that later), but the esthetician was amazing!

My appointment was at 9:00am and I ended up staying till mid-afternoon once my facial was done since guests can stay and use the spa and pool all day. The whirlpool was sooo nice, the steam room totally relaxing and the lounges are perfect for laying back and reading. I also swam in the pool for a good hour as well.

Seriously, indulge and do a treatment here. You will NOT regret it!

Unforgetable and so glad I went!

There are so many volcano tours to choose from, and I am so glad that I picked this one. Kapohokine has a great staff and our guide was just awesome. The dinner was totally yummy and what a great location too. The farm was hella cute! ^_^ We were lucky when we went and the lava was flowing a lot so we got to see a ton of stuff. Gotta say, seeing lava reach the ocean is really awe inspiring.

Do this tour! Seriously, you won't regret it :D

Hands down the best EVER!

I try to come to Hawaii as often as I can, and I have been to a lot of different luaus, and the Royal Hawaiian is without a doubt the best I have ever attended.

The food is utterly mouthwatering and they have the perfect combination of traditional and modern cuisine. I must say that the MC was great and had a fantastic way of intertwining stories about the food and the entertainment together. The dancing, singing and of course the fire knife dance just blew me away. So glad that I decided to do this!

Hawaii, Big Island
Kohala Ditch Adventures

A totally amazing time!

I have been to Hawaii a LOT and have been to almost all of the islands, and I am always looking for fun and new tours. The ditch adventure was totally something that I was looking for and it was so amazing. The guides were a fountain of knowledge and going down the ditch on the kayaks was something that I am so happy that I got to experience. So unique and so happy that my family found this one for us to do!
