While Oahu is not the first island I would recommend for a relaxing beach vacation (unless you are relaxed in hoards of people), it is a beautiful island with a ton to offer! We really enjoyed getting to spend three weeks there while house sitting near Honolulu, and... Read more
While planning our epic friendcation Hawaii trip to Kauai with our travel besties, a Na Pali Coast boat tour was high on our must-do list. Although a helicopter ride looked epic, a boat tour was a little more budget-friendly. Plus, we loved that it would also allow us... Read more
