Horseback Riding in Waipio Valley with Na’alapa Stables
A view Waipio Valley at the start of our decent I have to admit that I looked forward to the van ride down into Waipio Valley almost as much as the horseback ride. As we began our 25% grade (the equivalent of a 45 degree angle) decent, my heart started racing a bit. We were advised to open the van doors and not fasten our seat belts in case the van tumbled off the road, we’d be able to get out of the vehicle quicker. Gulp! My second-row view of this steep, winding road from the van window. Though thrilling, our van ride was uneventful, thankfully. Once we arrived at Na’alapa Stables, the heart rate returned to normal. The slow and steady pace on horseback provided just the right speed to soak in Waipio’s verdantly green valley. As I guided my horse on the dirt road and through several streams, I was able to admire the fertile farms and canopy of trees. I could visualize how this valley had once sustained thousands of Hawaiians centuries ago. Waipio Valley Taro Farm While in the valley, I could finally see the many pencil-thin waterfalls flowing down the valley walls. I had heard about them, but had never been able to see them from the lookouts above the valley. The most impressive waterfall seemed to be perfectly positioned in the middle of the valley and its height is at nearly 1300 feet. This Waipio Valley waterfall stretches nearly 1,300 feet. One of the most surprising things I saw in the valley was an abundance of wild horses. Though wild, they may have been wearing watches as they seemed to know the feeding time for the horses of Na’alapa Stables. They showed up to steal some nibbles promptly at lunch time. After thanking our horses for the gentle ride, we hopped back into the van for the vertical ride up out of the valley. That was one last adventure that completed the tour. We saw a few hikers that made the trek down and painfully steep climb back to the top. I feel like we got to see a lot more of the valley via horseback than if we’d hiked it. Certainly, this horseback riding tour is more time efficient than hiking it. We both enjoyed this slow paced view of Waipio Valley and definitely recommend this adventure as a great Hawaii vacation activity. What to know when you go: – Na’alapa Stables offers a morning and afternoon ride Monday – Saturday. We took the morning ride, which we liked, but I hear the afternoon ride is nice as well. – The nice staff will match your riding experience and skills with the horse. – Definitely pay attention to the instructions. The staff know the horses and their tendencies. Listen to their instructions that will keep you out of trouble. – The price is $88.54 which includes tax, but not gratuity. This tour is well priced for a 2.5 hour adventure! (There’s a shuttle-only service that’s $50 alone.) – Wear long pants and shoes with a covered toe that you wouldn’t mind getting wet. (I wore these shoes .) We crossed several streams. – I recommend bringing mosquito repellant to be on the safe side. Mosquitos love my blood, so I wore it and didn’t get bitten. Andy didn’t wear any repellant and didn’t get a single bite. – You might want to bring a bottle of water. – You can see all the photos we took from our Waipio Valley horseback riding adventure. Please bear in mind that it’s difficult to take a photo one-handed on a moving horse. – For more information and directions, see the Na’alapa Stables website .

20. December 2011
Lava entering the ocean, December 2011. Photo courtesy of the USGS. The ever changing lava activity on Hawaii’s Big Island creates news options for lava viewing. As reported last week , lava is flowing down the pali (hill) to the ocean. I want to provide an update of the various ways you can view this exciting lava activity. USGS lava flow map issued December 2011. Click on the image for a larger view. By Land You have two separate areas for lava viewing by land: – With lava flowing into the ocean just within the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the park has created a beacon trail from the end of the Chain of Craters Road. This 9.7 mile round-trip hike is described as extreme due to the exceptionally uneven terrain over old lava flows. Visit this page to learn more about this hike. Note that you must pay a Hawaii Volcanoes National Park entrance fee of $10 per car. – Perhaps an easier way to view the lava activity is from the Hawaii County lava viewing area in Kalapana. This viewing area is free and open daily from 2pm to 10pm, with the last car entry at 8pm. You can access this area by driving to the end of Highway 130. Currently, from this viewing point, you can see lava flowing down the hill to the plain. Lava is visible within a short (less than one mile) hike. You can also see the plume produced from lava flowing into the ocean, though I don’t believe you can actually see lava entering the ocean. For more information call the lava viewing hotline number is 808-961-8093. For these land, please also see my tips for viewing the Big Island lava flow . By Air With the lava flow being so widespread at the moment, a helicopter tour provides a spectacular view. Most helicopter tours of the volcano depart from Hilo. If you’re staying on the Kona side of the Big Island, you can find helicopter tours of the volcano that depart from the west side – Blue Hawaiian is one that I know offers this service. Taking a helicopter tour is the quickest way to see the lava flow, though quite expensive at cost of nearly $400 or more per person. Lava pouring into the ocean. By Sea When lava is flowing into the ocean, the folks at Lava Ocean Adventures offer boat tours to get an up close view of the ocean entry without an exhausting hike. If you are prone to seasickness, you might want to skip this option as this tour can be quite a rocky ride. — With any option you choose for viewing the current Big Island lava activity, you’ll definitely have a thrilling experience.

12. December 2011
Are you going to Maui or Lanai for New Year’s Eve? If you are, you’ll surely have a fantastic time! Between these two islands you’ll find festive dinners, music and fireworks filling up the night sky. Here’s what you will find to help you make your New Year’s Eve plans. New Year’s Eve Fireworks * I’ve confirmed that there will be midnight fireworks on Lanai at Hulopoe Beach by Four Seasons Lanai at Manele Bay. Andy and I spent a fabulous New Year’s Eve there two years ago. If you aren’t familiar with Lanai, it’s only a 45-minute ferry ride from Maui. The ferry only operates in daylight, so you’d need to stay overnight at either Four Seasons Lana’i at Manele Bay (where the fireworks show will take place), Four Seasons Lana’i Lodge at Koele , or Hotel Lanai. (No matter where you stay on Lanai, an island shuttle is available to pick you up at the ferry and take you anywhere you need to go on the island as well as all your transportation needs.) Before the beachside fireworks, the Four Seasons at Manele will host a New Year’s Eve celebration including a 12-piece band playing a collection of classic rock to contemporary hits. This event is complimentary to resort guests. * I’m awaiting an official announcement about fireworks on Maui. (Usually these decisions are made/announced very close to New Year’s Eve.) In previous years, there have been fireworks in South Maui and unofficially, I’m gathering that there will be fireworks there again this year. If you want to see fireworks from Maui, my advice would be to book one of the New Year’s Eve dinner or cocktail cruises. If there are fireworks, they will most likely find them, plus, you’ll probably see lots of residential fireworks. Here are companies that I know are offering New Year’s Eve cruises: Pride of Maui offers a very popular New Year’s Eve Cruise with appetizers and desserts. Live music, a premium open bar and midnight champagne toast are included. The price is $119.95 per adult. This cruise normally sells out. At the time of publishing, only 75 seats were remaining. See this link for more information and to book online . Alii Nui has a New Year’s Eve dinner buffet sail for $189 per person. Seating is limited to only 40 guests. See this link for all the details and booking reservations . Pacific Whale Foundation has two different New Year’s Eve cruises available – a late dinner cruise and a cocktail cruise . Pricing starts at 71.95 for adults including a 10% off web price. (Note that they are also offering premium seating cruise too, however it is sold out.) New Year’s Eve Buffets & Dinners & Parties * Enjoy fine dining with a five-course dinner at The Banyan Tree restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua. Live entertainment provided by Raw Silk and party favors will set the stage for a memorable celebration from 5:30pm to 10pm. The cost is $125 per person. Reservations are recommended. Call (808)669-6200. * Enjoy complimentary entertainment at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua’s Alaloa Lounge from 4pm to 2am. Sugah Daddy, a favorite six-piece island rock band begins playing at 8pm. For more information, call (808)669-6200. * At Ritz-Carlton Kapalua’s Terrace Restaurant , you’ll find a buffet of island-inspired pupus served from interactive chef stations. The evening will be complimented by an assortment of traditional Hawaiian music and hula vignettes. Guests will be presented with a fresh flower lei greeting and festive party favors.

The coast is $150 per child and inclusive of the dinner. For more information, call (808)669-6200 * The Sheraton Maui in Kaanapali presents a New Year’s Eve Extravaganza buffet from 4pm to 10pm.

Live music will play until 12:30am. Pricing is $80 per adult, $60 per child ages 9 to 12 and $40 per child ages 5 to 8. Reservations recommended. For reservations or for more information call (808) 875-5888, email reservations@makenaresortmaui.com Advice & Notes: Unless otherwise noted, you can assume that taxes and gratuity are not included in the pricing listed. I recommend you make your reservations as soon as possible to secure the event you prefer. Seating is limited, particularly on the cruises. Many other resorts and venues will offer special New Year’s Eve events. If you do not see your resort listed, contact the concierge at your resort for information on their events. Many restaurants will allow children ages four or five and under to dine for free with each paying adult. All pricing and schedules were accurate at the time of publishing. Both pricing and schedules are subject to change. I will update this list when additions or revisions are determined. Mahalo to the Maui Visitors Bureau for their assistance. While you’re in Maui and Lanai start practicing the phrase Hau’oli Makahiki Hou , which is the Hawaiian way to say Happy New Year. It’s pronounced, “how-oh-lay ma-ka-hee-key ho”. Hau’oli Makahiki Hou and happy 2012 to you! © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.
