Surf's Up! Pipeline beach is famous for being one of Oahu's most popular surfing beaches. In the winter months the waves become a surfers favorite playground and famous surfing competitions are held here.
Read MoreMy Freshman year Shark Cove was my favorite beach on Oahu. It is like swimming inside Finding Nemo without Bruce and his friends. The cove is filled by the waves crashing over into the giant 'pool' however over the last two years it has not been as deep as my first year here.
Read MoreChances are if you have heard or read anything about the island of Kauai before, you have probably heard of two things: the Na Pali Coast and Queens Bath. And no matter what pre-conceived notions you have about either of them, go and see and experience them! They are just as magical as Instagram makes them out to be. Queens Bath is a giant Tidepool located on Kauai's North Shore in Princeville.
Read MoreOur trip to Kauai was surprisingly a very smooth trip (minus getting home). Everything just always seemed to work out and we got to see and experience so much. When I found out that our last nights planned camping spot was closed, I was a bit nervous. I had one other backup spot but couldn't remember much about it but off we went. And I am SO glad we did becuase the time we spent at Tunnels Beach was probably my favorite of the trip. It is located on the North Shore about one mile from the end of the road!
Read MoreShe says she loves the North Shore...but can you blame her? Stopping at any beach on the North Shore is a good idea, but especially in the summertime. When I first saw Pupukea, or more popularly known as Three Tables, it was in the Winter and it was covered with big waves and foam. Every now and then I would see people snorkeling out their and I would always be so scared for them that I big wave was just gonna sweep them away.
Read MoreWelcome to the Island of Oahu, Hawaii! Home to over ONE MILLION people. Our little island is only 40 miles wide (thats the distance of home to Boulder for all my friends) and only 112 miles around. So really you can get around the island pretty easily and in basically no time...oh wait remember the part of ONE MILLION people? We're a bit over populated here on Oahu so our traffic happens to be the second worst behind LA, California! So this little island trip will take a good 5 hours to a potential day depending on the number and duration of your stops. I recommend starting as early as possible and finishing as late as possible! This way you can spend good time at each location and really enjoy everything there is to offer, because although small we have so much to give here!
Read MoreA lot a places claim to be the "best at something" and we all know they are lying, but Fumis Shrimp Truck really is the best shrimp on the island! They have a few shrimp flavors to choose from, cod, and chicken katsu if you don't like seafoood! Its in the North Shore of Oahu and is so worth the drive.
