For many, no Hawaiian holiday is complete without a visit to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
This colossal stretch of land encompasses two of the world’s most active volcanoes, rare flora and fauna, and exquisite volcanic terrain.
Last night, we had the pleasure of a sneak peak at the Maui Ocean Center‘s new exhibits and unique 3D dome theater featuring their new film “Humpbacks of Hawaii.”

One of the many boons of visiting Maui is that your choices for fun aren’t limited solely to land: Maui County includes two gorgeous islands that are accessible by ferry, its outer islet of Molokini supplies some of the best Maui snorkeling, and its 120 miles of coastline offer ample opportunities for splashing in the water.
And what water it is. The slice of Pacific upon which Maui County rests presents some of the clearest and warmest water in the world. While hopping in straight from the sand is one of the greatest pleasures the island affords, boating trips deliver a fresh perspective on the Valley Isle’s splendor. Read More

From serrated coastlines marked by thunderous surf to powdery coves bordered by slender palms, Maui has got it all when it comes to beaches. Indeed, with 120 miles of shoreline, this tropical idyll has more swimmable beaches than any other Hawaiian Island, which only underscores why it’s globally known as no ka oi.
But with so many beaches to explore, the time-pressed traveler might have some trouble choosing where they should throw down their towel. With that in mind, here are 10 Maui beaches worth every penny of your plane ticket:
Our Recent Trip and Volcano Video from Big Island
Pele has been showing her power lately on the south east side of the Big Island, Hawaii. We were lucky enough to make a trip out to Hilo right as things began to stir. The video below shares some of the highlights from our drive to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park as well as our Circle of Fire Helicopter flight.
As you can see in the video, and in the beautiful photos captured here by Natalie Brown Photography, the lava activity was just beginning to get more lively in early April of this year. We could tell it was out of the ordinary by how excited the locals were. Our intention was to hike to the lava flows, but it turns out (at the time) it required a 10-12 mile hike. SO, we visited Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and watched eruptions blast into the air! Read More
