If you grew up near water, you might consider the rope swing de rigeur for summertime frolicking and fun. And rightly so; nothing says “rite of passage” and “finding your inner Tarzan” like a good rope over a cool, natural body of water. (Hope it’s deep, too.) That’s why if you’re […]
Support your local dolphin: Just months after its acquisition by the Parques Reunidos Group of Madrid, more than 40 employees of Sea Life Park will be laid off; that’s a staff reduction of about 20 percent. General Manager Jesus Bravo attributed the cuts to the nation’s economic downturn, and reduced ticket sales.
Hawaii’s Department of Labor’s […]
If you don’t know Baby Loves Disco, it’s just about the most fun you can have with your baby…at a disco. Before you wonder if you should call Child Protective Services on people who take their children to nightclubs, hold the phone.
Baby Loves Disco is a nationwide movement at which the hippest clubs […]
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 […]
If it’s happening on O’ahu, it’s happening, period. The Island of O’ahu, known as the Heart of Hawai’i, is the trendsetter of the islands, leading by example with new improvements, changes and additions on an ongoing basis. Here’s a smattering of what’s new on O’ahu:

From September 2 to December 18, Halekulani […]
If you’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting Maui anytime from December to May, you know that the Au’au channel between Maui and Lana’i is a prime spot for whale watching. It’s the North Pacific herd of humpbacks that migrate there to breed and enjoy the warmer waters after spending the summer and […]
It’s Independence Day, and nothing says freedom like strapping on a snorkel and taking off for the day. If you’re up for a sea faring adventure on Maui, the Molokini Crater is a rite of passage that’s been tourist-tested and resident approved.
The facts:
Molokini Crater is an extinct volcano located 2 1/2 miles off Maui’s south […]
This week we turned our attention to volcanoes on Hawai’i, which is saying a mouthful. That’s because the entire state of Hawai’i owes its very existence to the volcano. Each island consists of at least one primary volcano, although many islands are composites of two or more–even tiny little Ni’ihau has its own volcano. The […]
It’s believed that Pele is the goddess of fire, lightning, dance, volcanoes and violence. Her mythos is varied, and complicated, but she’s best known on The Big Island, where some of her best work is still on display. It’s in her honor that we test our Hawai’i knowledge this week. Answers are revealed tomorrow, […]
On Makapu’u Beach, not too far from Waikiki on the island of O’ahu, is the theme park and attraction Sea Life Park. It’s a marine-oriented center that’s not as huge as some of the parks you know from back home, but that is still a nice attraction/distraction for those who want to get more up-close […]
