Here at The Hawai’i Traveler, we primarily talk about the eight main Hawaiian islands of interest to tourists and armchair travelers, but thinking outside the box brings us, strangely, to a triangle–The Polynesian Triangle, that is.
Hawai’i is actually comprised of a chain of 137 islands, islets, and shoals. Only seven of these islands are inhabited […]
Off the west side of Maui are three visible islands (and the crater). One is Moloka’i, one of Hawaii’s lesser-visited, more sparsely-populated islands–also called the Friendly Isle. Another is Lana’i, the most private of the main islands. The third is totally uninhabited, unlike the other forbidden island in the chain, Ni’ihau. It’s Kaho’olawe, an […]
There are nine watery threads running between the Hawaiian Islands. These channels are some of the most revered, most discussed waterways in history–if you’re the sea-faring type. If you’re not, now you know what’s what, and where it is.

With the volcanoes on the Big Island still making a ruckus, the vog in Hawai’i is becoming kind of a big deal. With some full-time residents fleeing the island due to health concerns, there’s a lot of head-scratching going on in the islands about what’s what and how much vog is too much.
No matter […]
On my way to BlogHer, where I met some b5 media beauties, I was delayed for four hours in Salt Lake City due to a mechanical issue. Oy. Ordinarily, I would have been disappointed and a little put out by the whole thing, but despite wondering what I was missing at the conference, […]
If you’ve read or heard anything about the culinary customs of old Hawai’i, you’ve no doubt heard about poi.
What it is:
Poi is a starch made from taro root, breadfruit, or sweet potato that has been cooked, pounded into a paste, and fermented. It’s usually eaten with the fingers, and should accompany some other serving, such […]
It’s not a new sport, in fact, it’s an ancient one, but stand up paddle surfing is just now getting the long-standing attention it deserves, no pun intended. Paddle surfing is the act of standing on an oversized surfboard, and moving and navigating through the waters using a canoe paddle.
