Paragliding in Hawaii: Koko Crater
Where: Oahu || Grouped in: Oahu Nature, Oahu Sports || Tagged:
The eye-popping bright colors and high winds make Hawaii a paragliding paradise. Witness this footage shot in 2008 over Koko Crater (in Honolulu near Waikiki) on Oahu. It's enough to make you up your deductible. Gravity Hawaii has the paragliding goods on this on Oahu. Call them up, strap in and take off tandem!

Wish she would post more often. Monthly is not enough as the reviews are better than most and often off-beat. Check out this piece on the nouveau Indian cuisine of the Halekulani Hotel's Vikram Garg.
Lava Tube Hikes in Hawaii

I've been on the Pua Po'o Tube Hike in HAVO several times and just love the peace and fragility of these places. There are many paid tours but none are as good as the ranger-guided tours at the park, which are free (if you pay park admission of like $10). The best adventure bargain in Hawaii.

Fyndhawaii.com is something we contemplated for a while. At first I was doing this as a Hawaii-centric search engine but had troubled tuning it the way I wanted. Then along came Twitter. I wanted to figure out a way to create a real-time stream of deals / things to do in Hawaii that was moderated and not the usual Twitter clutter and self-promotion.

John Heckathorn Looking for Magic in New Hawaii Eateries
Where: Oahu || Grouped in: Oahu Food || Tagged:
Heckathorn is out and about, eating at a quartet of newbies. He only really likes Wolfgang's, the steakhouse from the former head waiter at legendary NYC chop shop Peter Luger. It does sound fascinating and I'd love to eat there. Check it out and any reports from the field?.
