Did you know food trucks and fruit stands are HUGE in Hawaii!? And, for good reason. As we explored Hawaii, we were surrounded by endless options for quick, delicious bites to eat.

One of the experiences that our Big Guy Big World Hawaii contest winners got to have was at the Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii. It’s a private nature reserve with award-winning tours and activities.

During my recent travels in Hawaii, I had the opportunity to make a trip down The Road to Hana Town. This incredible scenic drive is a 64.4-mile-long stretch of Hawaiian highway connecting Kahului to Hana, a small town in east Maui. However, the term “highway” is a little misleading. Traveling the Alaloa This journey took us over a series of 54 narrow…

Yesterday, we took a beautiful helicopter trip over and through the island of Molokai. Molokai is the fifth largest island in the Hawaiian island chain. Hawaii, as a whole, seems to invoke ideas of a simplified life – in touch with the beauty of nature. Molokai is absolutely no different. In fact, it’s one of…

Free diving with sharks is not for the faint at heart! These are not small sharks, they are REAL Galapagos & Blue sharks! We were hoping to see tiger sharks or even the real possibility of seeing a great white, but we didn’t see either of those species. But it sure as hell beats just…
