I Love Hawaii

Sightseeing in Hawaii is something that everyone should at least spend one entire day doing – however, after you are done relaxing, sightseeing and swimming, what is the next logical step going to be?

Well, it should be that you are going to go parasailing!  Parasailing in Hawaii is honestly one of the best things ever!  Not only is it a once in a lifetime experience, but honestly, I think that it is so exciting and it is just one step down from bungee jumping or something like that.

Basically, parasailing is when you are sitting on a swing and you are being pulled by a boat and the force of the wind pulls you up and up and up!  It is such a great experience; I swear that you really do feel like you are flying!

Tubing is something that you can pretty much do anywhere and everywhere, however – have you ever thought about doing it in Hawaii?  Well, when I was there last time, I actually dared to take a guided water tubing trip and I have to say that it was so much fun!  Not only were the guides very informative, but they were also funny and had quite a personality on them!  The water tubing part itself was so much fun and it was all around a fantastic day!

Water tubing, for those of you that do not know is actually floating on down the river or stream on a tube.  You can go through some white water waves and really get into it, but overall, you are just floating there and you really – really get a feeling of the scenery there and it rocks!

Next time you are in Hawaii, I highly recommend that you take a water tubing trip because it does totally rock!

Now that we have talked about the Bamboo Restaurant, let’s talk about a quaint little Bed & Breakfast that is getting a heck of a lot of attention due to their restaurant.  This restaurant is actually incredible all over the place and they actually have a bit of American as well as European taste.  The wine selection is absolutely impeccable and there is definitely a mixture of traditional and modern in this awesome place.

If you are looking for a place for your family to stay as well as done, the Kilauea Lodge & Restaurant is going to be it!  There is a brunch available for any overnight guests staying and if you are looking for dinner, it is open to the public and you have to make a reservation.

So come on down to the Kilauea Lodge & Restaurant, it is located right in the Volcano Nation Park and it is absolutely incredible all the way around!

While you are vacationing, there are a few things that you should know about and the first thing is going to be some of the restaurants that you are going to dine in.  That is what we are going to explore in the new two blogs and the first restaurant is going to be the Bamboo Restaurant & Gallery!  This incredible restaurant is absolutely beautiful and it really gives you the feel of old Hawaii.

All of the walls in this beautiful place are made of … you guessed it!  Bamboo and I have to say that all of the wall art here is absolutely incredible.  All of the waiters and waitresses are there to serve you in Hawaiian attire and they have all sorts of drinks and fantastic food – they even have drinks served to you in a coconut cup!

This place is a fantastic one to really enjoy the sights and really, truly take in Hawaii and all of the Hawaiian flavors.

If you are one of the many people that are looking for something interesting, exciting and all around fun to do while you are on vacation in Hawaii, you should absolutely check out some of the incredible Lava Ocean Adventures.  These tours are actually ones that you can go and actually see lava coming out of a real, live, active volcano.

The volcano is going to be Kilauea and what these incredible boat tours give is you are front row seat to all of the heat and the experience.  You will see the rivers of lava, littorial explosions, volcanic splatter cones and all of those beautiful plume clouds.  This sight is not for the light hearted and ones that can not handle the heat because it is hot out there!

So really, this is a life experience that you definitely should not miss – take a look at Lava Ocean Adventures, you will absolutely regret it if you don’t go!

Whenever you are taking a vacation to Hawaii, there are quite a few things that you do not want to miss for anything and the Panaewa Rainforest Zoo is definitely one of those sights.  This incredible zoo is absolutely breathtaking and it is something that everyone in the world should see whenever they take a vacation to Hawaii’s big island.

In the zoo, there is a ton of different rainforest animals, endangered Hawaiian animals and over eighty over animal species for you to take a look at!  This zoo holds one of the few White Bengal tigers, tons of spider monkeys, lemurs and the Hawaii State Bird, the Nene Geese.

The Panaewa Rainforest Zoo is also considered a botanical garden; so honestly, you can really appreciate the beautiful scenery that it is in.  Orchids, bamboo and over one hundred varieties of palms are apparent in this particular garden.

It is a well known fact that there are a ton of different things that you can do whenever you are in Hawaii.  You can do everything from sitting on the beach, enjoying drinking all the way to eating at incredible resturants and all around enjoying the environment which is Hawaii.  However, what you might not know is that you can actually take a helicopter tour over Hawaii and that honestly is a fantastic way to see all of the islands from far away!

Although a helicopter tour is going to be expensive, it is absolutely worth it as you can see about 80% of all of the islands that are not accessible by foot.  That makes sure that you gain the full experience of each and every island and you can see all of them.

So if you are looking for something extremely different and totally fun, you should absolutely try a helicopter ride!

We all know that Hawaii is one of those places that everyone in the world loves to go whenever they are looking for a vacation destination to just chill out.  However, did you know there are actually different parts of Hawaii that you can go to that are actually incredibly relaxing while other places are all about the nightlife.

Molokai is one of those places that are completely and totally relaxing. There are a bunch of different black sand beaches as well as lowland deserts, rain forests, bogs and fern forests, so if you are a nature enthusiast, you should absolutely take a look at Molokai!

Another thing that you should know about Molokai is the fact that it is actually in the center of the chain of eight main Hawaiian Islands and it is about two million years old.  The average temperature is about seventy-five and it is incredible!

Let’s have a chat about sea horses.  Whenever you go to Hawaii, you know that you are going to be seeing all sorts of things that you have never seen before, but are you really going to experience them?  One thing that you should absolutely make a point to visit is Ocean Rider.  This incredible place is actually a seahorse farm and you can see these beautiful creatures up close and personal!

There is not a lot of known information about seahorses and while I have never seen one up close, I can definitely imagine what it would be like.  At Ocean Rider, you can actually visit these seahorses and you can actually make sure that you touch them and feel them as well.  That is the cool thing!

You are seriously going to be able to experience everything whenever you take a trip here.  Remember, Hawaii is all about experiences and this is one experience that you should definitely not miss at all!

Hawaii is by far one of the most exotic and beautiful places in the world for anyone to visit but while you are there, are you really getting the experience of it?  If you are experiencing it via horseback, you will be!  Horseback riding in Hawaii is something that people have been doing for years and to be honest, it truly is an incredible experience!

Not only will you get to explore all sorts of things that you never would have scene up close and personal besides being on the horse’s back but it is seriously a life experience.  There are a ton of different ranches that you can rent a horse for the afternoon at and really … it is something that you should totally try whenever you are in Hawaii next time!

Hawaii’s landscape is something that so many people go to see, but do you really see it when you are walking along it or if you are driving?  Most likely not, you will however see it up close and personal on the back of a horse.
