Another Best for MAUI Author: Mar 26

Ingenious way to encourage recycling

Ka'ohu Farms invites you to recycle

 

 

Surfboard Fence

Best Recycling Project :

Just ask anyone who has ever visited  Maui and they will tell you why it is little wonder that Maui has been voted the  “Best Island”  by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler for seventeen years in a row.  No one could argue that there are  beautiful beaches and incredible natural scenery, but on my recent  drive along   HWY  36 – the famous Road to Hana, I think  I have discovered a new category and reason  why  Maui is the best . The best on going recycling project.

The Road to Hana is a Fifty-two mile two lane road with over 200 hairpin turns crossing over more than  fifty bridges - Removed from the rest of Maui  but so worth the drive – I suggest you allow a full day to make this trip  so you do not miss any of the special stops along the way such as a photo op  at  Ka’ohu Farms on Kaupakalua Road -one of Maui’s most famous landmarks . I have heard that images of this whimsical surfboard fence hang on the walls of  art galleries and have been featured over the years on the pages of many magazines.  He has also been featured in  The Maui News , in an article by  Lehia Apana Staff Writer , www.themauinews.com , I have posted this full article on my facebook page for your enjoyment.

Ka’ohu Farms  is the passion of  Haiku resident   Donald “DJ” Dettloff , we all just get to enjoy the fruits of his labor.I am so glad  he cared enough to give other peoples  junk surfboards new life in such a unique way.

Do yourself a favor and get out and explore the islands you never know what you will find when you dare to get off the beaten path-  if you need some assistance planning your trip – Just email  me   linda@honeymoonsinc.com    and we will get started planning your unique trip to Maui .

Relaxation found in activity Author: Mar 09

Many people find relaxation through trying new activities – The Hawaiian Islands  offer so  much more to visitors than just beautiful resorts with incredible pools, amenities and beaches. To truly unlock the magic of all that is Hawaii you have to get out and explore. Regardless of your interest or physical abililities, Hawaii has something special for you. The best way to discover local culture, natural beauty and Hawaiian traditions  is to take advantage of the safety and security found in Hawaii and try something new.  Aloha Spirit  is found on all six islands and each unique island offers many opportunities for you to find your relaxation through trying a variety of activities.

Some of my favorites are :

Watersports such as scuba , ocean kayaks and  stand up paddle boarding:

Snuba - Combination of snorkeling and scuba

Stand up paddle boarding

Ocean Kayaks

 

Eco- Adventures  such as  horseback riding ,  hiking through rainforest and  zip lines are just a few of the options available in Hawaii 

Horseback riding on Kauai

Zipline on Maui with Kapalua Adventures

Hiking through the Rainforest on Oahu

 

Explore by  Rental Car   or  organized tour  , bicycle   or  from the air: 

Valley Isle Excursions - Road to Hana Tour

Seaplane Tours over Oahu

Oahu Bike Downhill with Bike Hawaii

 

Valley Isle Excursions - a wonderful way to  explore the road to Hana  www.tourmaui.com  , enjoy this breathtaking drive through 52 miles,617 curves and 56 one lane bridges

Princeville Ranch Stables – Ride through beautiful pastures, hike through the rainforest  to a  private  waterfall and if you are brave enough take a dip in the simming hole below   www.princevilleranch.com

Kapalua Adventures  - operating over two miles of ziplines and  a  360 foot  suspension bridge  – truly a one of a kind experience   www.gozipmaui.com

Island Seaplane Tours  - Helicopter tours  are great , but this is such a unique experience  – bird’s eye view of Diamond Head, Waikiki and Pearl Harbor  www.islandseaplane.com

Location: Near the top of the road

Transportation: The Bus: #5 from Waikiki

Prices a new guided tour at $5.00 per person; call ahead to schedule. Please mention Linda Dancer, your O’ahu Visitors Bureau Destination Specialist, so they may track their new business.

OVERVIEW

The Lyon Arboretum dates back to 1918, when the Hawaiian Sugar Planters Association wanted to demonstrate the value of watershed for reforestation. In 1953 it became part of the University of Hawaii, where they continued to expand the extensive collection of tropical plants. Six-story-tall breadfruit trees, yellow orchids no bigger than bus tokens, ferns with fuzzy buds as big as human heads . . . These are just a few of the botanical wonders you’ll find at the 194-acre Lyon Arboretum. A whole different world opens up to you along the self-guided 20-minute hike through the arboretum to Inspiration Point. You’ll pass more than 5,000 exotic tropical plants full of singing birds in this cultivated rainforest (a University of Hawaii research facility) at the head of Manoa Valley.
