The weather changed drastically, so we recommend bringing rain gear. ⛰️Spot name: Waimea Canyon State Park 📍Location: Waimea Canyon Dr, Waimea, HI #HawaiiTrip #SpectacularViews #0YenTripFebruary2025

Toa Luau was an incredible experience for my family and me. The whole vibe was amazing—authentic, welcoming, and full of local charm. The show was fantastic, with incredible performances, live music, and storytelling that really brought Polynesian culture to life. The food was just as impressive—a proper Hawaiian feast with everything from kalua pork to fresh poke, all packed with flavour. The setting in Waimea Valley made it feel even more special, surrounded by lush greenery and a real sense of place. Everything about it felt genuine and intimate, not overly commercial like some luaus can be. If you’re looking for an unforgettable night of culture, great food, and a real Hawaiian experience, this is the one to go for.

#getgoing2025 Three Tables beach is perhaps best known as a snorkeling spot and for good reason. The name of the beach comes from three sections of flat coral reef that protrude from the water at low tide. Not only do these “table tops” give the beach its name, they provide a natural breakwater. This shouldn’t be much of an issue during the summer as there aren’t usually any waves, but in the winter it’s a different story and with no lifeguards swimming and snorkeling are a big no-no. While the snorkeling here might not be quite as good as at neighboring Sharks Cove it is still some of the best in Hawaii. Three Tables also has the advantage of being backed by a lovely stretch of white sand and trees, which you won’t find next door as it is all rocks.

Shark Bay is located at the end of the west coast of Australia, surrounded by islands and land, and is famous for its three incomparable natural landscapes. It has the largest and most abundant collection of marine plant specimens in the world; and it is home to the largest number of dugongs (sea cows) and stromatolites in Shark Island, while also protecting five endangered mammal species. The bays, harbors, and small islands in the Shark Bay region support a vast aquatic world, where sea turtles, whales, prawns, scallops, sea snakes, fish, and sharks are all common aquatic creatures. At the same time, in some areas, coral reefs, sponges, and other invertebrates, as well as tropical and subtropical fish, form a unique ecological community. Various burrowing mollusks, hermit crabs, and other invertebrates live on the wide, flat beaches. The wide coral reefs are another beautiful sight for underwater viewing. The diameter of the coral blocks is about 500 meters, filled with rich marine life. Countless colorful corals compete to catch people's eyes, such as blue, purple, green, brown, and so on, truly a feast for the eyes. Here, you can also go boating, diving, snorkeling, observing marine life, fishing, windsurfing, and swimming.

Bay Area weekend: Shark Bay | Highway 1 in the North Bay is also beautiful. Departing at 1pm in the afternoon, heading south from Berkeley, planning to drive along Highway 1 to near Big Sur, but it got foggy near 17 Mile Drive, and it seemed cloudy near Big Sur, so we didn't continue driving further down. The main place we passed by is Shark Fin Cove (between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz). We arrived at the parking spot near the railway and walked along the railway for about 15 minutes. The beach is quite beautiful! Later, we drove to 17 Mile Drive, which we highly recommend. Although it was cloudy when we went, the overall vacation feeling was spot on. There were also many wild deer and sea lions inside...the feeling of harmony between humans and nature was very strong. We chose TheBench restaurant inside, which is a bit expensive. Many residents living here gather with their families for meals. We chose this one mainly for Italian cuisine, which is quite delicious (the mushroom pizza is average). Tips for entering 17 Mile Drive: At the beginning, you will be charged $10, but if you consume inside (such as in a restaurant), they will deduct it if you show the receipt. Inside there is a very large golf course, friends who like golf can choose to stay there for a night, the environment is very much like a resort. Actually, the beach heavily relies on weather conditions, because it often gets foggy and cloudy there. So when you see a beautiful beach, stop and enjoy it, because you might not find another one like it.
