It was our first proper day in Waikiki or Honolulu or Oahu since landing the night before. So we decided to just have a bit of an easy day of walking around and also satisfying our little American shopping hunger.

We woke up nice and early to travel down south to Port Allen. There we checked in with Holo Holo Charters where Paige and I plus 20 other people were jumping aboard a catamaran to sail up the Na Pali Coast. The weather was beautiful. It was the clearest sky we had seen all holiday, […]

Today is a pretty short blog of script and shots as I spent most of my time underwater. It’s been 5 years since I’ve even used my Open Water scuba diving license so in the morning I took on a Refresher Course with a dive shop. I managed to also convince Paige to have her […]

I woke up nice and early at 5:30am because of jet lag but I was surrounded by views of lush jungle, sounds of tweeting birds and the slow onset of the Hawaiian sun. Once Paige woke up we got on our merry way to the end of the Hamakua coast at Waipio Valley. This was […]

I’m in Hawaii for the next 2 weeks with my good friend Paige. Hawaii has been a dream of mine since I was 6 years old, so I’m super excited to be able to finally set foot here and explore these islands. From Brisbane, we flew into Honolulu for a 9.5 hour flight then went […]
