We are experiencing an overwhelming interest from clients to plan their Hawaiian Celebra-cations sooner than later – meaning, now – this year.

We absolutely LOVE recommending ‘off-the-beaten-path’ experiences – especially if you are considering the islands of KAUAI or MAUI. Here are a few examples for some inspiration:

Secrets Beach – located on the North Shore of Kauai. A stunning (secluded) beach that is accessible by a short (easy) hike.
Waimea Canyon – located on the West Side of Kauai, known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” – it offers mind-blowing views of deep gorges, rugged cliffs, and cascading waterfalls. Also – a great place for hiking, all skill levels.
Na Pali Coast – located on the Northwest Side of Kauai, this rugged and remote coastline can be accessed by hiking or a boat tour. Breathtaking views of towering sea cliffs, waterfalls, and pristine beaches.
Haleakala National Park – located on Maui, is a surreal sight to behold. This park encompasses a massive volcano, including the world’s largest dormant volcano crater. You can explore the park by hiking, horseback riding, or taking a scenic drive. Reservations are required.
Road to Hana – a scenic 60-mile drive (one-way) that takes you along the northeastern coast of Maui. Its infamous winding and narrow road takes you through lush rainforests, past waterfalls and hidden beaches, and through charming small towns.

One of the words that we often use with our clients when describing Hawaii and Her Islands – INTOXICATING. The magic of Hawaii is alluring, and captivating and has the power to (somehow) cast a spell on all who experience Her. Our emotional senses transport us to a state of sensory bliss.
A few of their local, tropical fragrances that contribute to this euphoria are Pikake and Plumeria flora (very popular with fresh flower leis). And let us not overlook the yummiest Mango fruit or Kona coffee – each with their own distinct flavors and aromas leaving us a bit overwhelmed in this tropical joy.
