Honolulu, the capital of the Hawaiian Islands has developed into a lively city. In the heart of the city there’s a statue in honour of King Kamehama The Third who in 1840 moved his government residence from the island of Maui to Honolulu on Oahu, thus unifying the island kingdom. In later years the Victorian Iolani Palace became the new residence of those who ruled Hawaii. Hawaii wouldn’t be Hawaii if it were not for its world famous surfers when during the winter season the northern part of Oahu with its Waimea Bay, Banzai Pipeline and Sunset Beach is extremely popular with surfers. A total of a hundred and thirty two islands, atolls and reefs make up the island group of Hawaii. Only a twenty-minute flight from Oahu and Honolulu is the fourth largest island, ‘Garden Island’ or, Kauai. Like no other island in the archipelago, Kauai is full of contrast: while temperatures on the palm beaches are mostly summer-like, dry and warm, the interior of the island is one of the moistest regions in the world. Apart from pleasure boats it’s mainly canoes and kayaks that travel on the waters of the southern and northern sections of the Wailua River, an adventurous and also very popular way of exploring the interior of Kauai. Picturesque insights into the Hawaii of bygone times are provided in the small village of Kamokila, an original Hawaiian village that has been reconstructed in every detail. The Haleakala National Park contains the world’s greatest dormant volcano and the clear night skies of this unique region have made it ideal for the observation of stars and satellites. What could be better than to observe the colourful transformation of the landscape while lying on a beach surrounded by palm trees and falling under the spell of this enchanting island paradise? Aloha Hawaii!

Wailua River Kayak Secret Falls, Kauai Hawaii
I'm not trying to cutout the outfitters but this trip is easy and less expensive if you do it on you own. Many of the rental companies offer full day rentals for ~$55 for a 2 person kayak. They will load your car and provide you a map to the falls. Wailua River is Hawaii's largest navigable river. The launch point is in the Wailua State Park. You will kayak about 2 miles upriver to the fork in the river. Take the right fork. A short distance ahead and through several tree tunnels take the left side of the island to the bank area where you pull your kayak to shore. It's easier to start the trail to the falls from the left side . The trail follows the river for 1 ½ miles. The elevation change is minimal. You reach a beautiful 120' waterfall with a large swimming pool area. PLEASE USE CAUTION FOR FALLING OBJECTS.
One advantage in doing the trip on your own is you are not held to the tour time tables. If you are lucky you will be at the falls between groups and you can enjoy listing to the falls and birds. Once you return to your kayak you can now take that other fork and paddle up past the Fern Grotto. (The tour groups just go directly back) Further upriver is a rope to swing out over the river if you feel adventurous. The return trip is a little harder due to the trade winds coming toward you. In all it's an easy trip and we'll continue to be our own tour guide for one-third the cost.

Bellstone Heiau Cover-up - DLNR, KPD, Garden Island Newspaper, & Dept. of Interior?
The Bellstone Heiau, of the Wailua Complex of Heiau's, has been desecrated yet again. The question is why? Why mislead the public, print false information, close the case and cover-up information regarding this sacred location of value to the Kanaka Maoli people? A sacred place for people to pray, as they perform the cultural and spiritual kuleana and rites! Why would the LEADERS of the Kauai Police Department close the police report of the missing Wailua Bellstone when it is still missing? Why would the KPD, DLNR and the Garden Island newspaper report it as being located at the museum in Lihue, when it is clearly not there as evidenced in this video? Is this sloppy investigation or a cover-up for artifacts that may have been illegally taken or sold? Personally, as a spiritual practitioner, I will never fully comprehend the desecration of this place of prayer, birth, spiritual and cultural importance. What can be gained by reporting false news and the filing of false papers unless one is hiding something? I wouldn't want the karma that these light spirits will bring upon those who added lies to the desecration that has already been done. I pray for their healing and that they are guided to do the right thing and restore the Wailua Bellstone Heiau so the Kanaka Maoli practitioners can ring in new life. The archaeologist in 1980 said they were still there then and Frank Woerther who wrote extensively about the Wailua Complex of Heiau’s also depicted that they were in place, while others say they were destroyed years ago. Artifacts of historical and cultural significance are tracked and tagged, yet no one can account for their transfer as of yet. This heiau is located on the island of Kauai. In my humble opinion, as a spiritual practitioner, the County, State and Federal Government LEADERS from the Kauai Police Department, Mayor, Department of Land & Natural Resources, and Department of the Interior, or other agencies, need to be held accountable for the failure of their fiduciary responsibilities for the people of Kauai. Can someone please tell the truth since the archaeologist report or Frank Woerther's writings?

The Hawaiian island of Maui is a destination for true nature lovers. The ethereal bamboo forest and churning waterfalls in Haleakala National Park can be explored via the Waimoku Falls Trail. Stretch out on warm, golden sands or hit the surf for an unforgettable windsurfing or snorkeling session. Driving the scenic road to Hana along the island’s northeastern shore will be among the most spectacular journeys of your life. Time stands still at the Hawaiian village of Keanae, definitely worth a visit.
Okolehau Trail, Hanalei Kauai Hawaii
Okolehau Trail is referred to as The Puffer. It gains 1250 feet in 2.5 miles. The first 2/3 of a mile the Okolehau Trail is really the remains of an old dirt road. You climb, climb, climb. The footing is generally good unless a good rain came through recently. There are 2 major plateau's on the trail. The first nice overlook
is at 2/3 miles next to the tall powerline pole. At the one mile mark look for this unusual tree that I call Woody. Keep climbing another 5 minutes and you reach the first plateau which is flat and has ti plants on it. You have sweeping views of Hanalei Bay, Hanalei Pier (South Pacific), the Kilauea Lighthouse, Princeville, the taro fields you left behind, and Bali Hai. The next .25 of a mile is pretty flat then at the 1.5 mile mark it turns steep again and is far more muddy but the reward is ahead.
At the END of the Okolehau Trail is another plateau and you see everything you did before plus the Hanalei River coming out of the mountain valley and a close up view of all the mountains including Wai'ale'ale. In total you see 1/5 of the entire island!
You will find the Okolehau Trail off the main road from Princeville. Go toward Kee Beach on 560 leaving Princeville. Once you get to the bottom of the hill and cross the first one lane bridge take an immediate left by the taro fields. You will go down the road about ½ a mile to a parking lot across from the start of the trail. There are usually plenty of hiking sticks leaning against the bridge.
Don't forget to stop at the Hanalei Overlook on the way back up the hill to see where you climbed.
