  2. Aloha Stadium College football

    Aloha Stadium College football

    If you’re shooting up to Hawaii any time soon, then plan to get to a college football game. This is so typically American and a great (albeit long) night out – complete with hotdogs and chips! College football is HUGE in America. Take a taxi from Waikiki (it’s quite a way though!) and head out [...]

    Aloha! Waikiki on TV + cheap holiday deal

    My Waikiki travel story ran on TVNZ the other day giving an overview of this bustling sea-side city. And boy does it bustle!

    Hawaii’s Moana Surfrider hotel

    It’s 7am in Hawaii and surfers are bobbing on the gentle waves outside my balcony at the majestic Moana Surfrider like a sitting flock of seagulls.

  8. Top 5 things to do on Hawaii’s Big Island

    Top 5 things to do on Hawaii’s Big Island

    Hawaii’s Big Island is actually called Hawaii – but that’s too confusing – so it goes by its nickname, the Big Island. Nice and simple, straight forward – deceptively bland. The Big Island is one of the only places where you can get up close and personal to the core of the earth. The spewing, [...]
