A Friendly Ambiance Awaits at Duke’s Beach House We like Dukes Beach House as it has plenty of patio seating. Not as busy as Duke’s in Waikiki, or as cramped as Duke’s in Kauai. There is a friendly ambiance to this restaurant. Duke’s Beach House is located on the western side of Sheraton Blackrock/Kaanapali area. Duke’s Beach House is along…
Awesome Tour, Professional Staff Our first tour with Trilogy was back in 1998 to Lanai. We still have fond memories of that tour. Our second time out with Trilogy was as memorable with the “Whale Watching.” Jason was our captain and he did an awesome job taking us to where the whales were. A superb narration about the whales and…
One of the Most Picturesque Bays in the World When you come to Hanalei, you have to cross a one lane bridge. There is “local courtesy” that states that five to seven cars may cross at a time. We have seen as many as ten cars travel across. “Shaka” rules, though, and your turn will come as you “hang…
A Few Tips about Waikiki Beach Even though it may look crowded, there is a place for you along this beach. This is one of the most iconic areas of Hawaii and the United States, and you have the right to be a part of it. Most of the people just walk along the beach sidewalk admiring Duke Kahanamoku’s…
Kudos to the Jack Harter Team From the moment we walked into the hut to the time we left the van, we were given a first class tour. This is an experience you will never forget. Our daughter, Pam, picked this helicopter out as she wanted “the open door.”The check in is close by the airport. A van takes you to the…

There is a large sign to point the way on Route 160 on Keala O Keawe Road. The historical park is well marked. I would not recommend Route 160 that juts north of…

Tips in Visiting the Dole Plantation Having visited Oahu five times, we always by-passed this “tourist” destination. In our most recent trip we were in a gallery in Lahaina, Maui, when we were amazed at a photo of these surreal looking trees, known as the Rainbow Eucalyptus. They are also nicknamed the “painted trees.” There are several groves in Hawaii:…
Tips on visiting this Farmers Market near Diamond Head Located on the road to Diamond Head by the Kapi’olani Community College, is the “Farmers Market,” more like an International Bazaar these days. Accommodating to several cultures, it is a fun time to people watch and grab some good food. There is free parking at the college. It does fill up,…
A Few Tips Visiting the Puako Petroglyphs The Puako Petroglyphs are located north of Kona on route 19. Coming from Kona, you turn left at Mauna Lani Drive and continue right on the “roundabout” on Ala Ka’a Way. The park is next to the Fairmont Orchid Resort. It is well marked and easy to find. I would recommend going to…
