Praised by many as the best shrimp in the North Shore (Oahu), this filthy truck rests under the trees in a small rest area at the entrance of Hale’iwa along with two competitors. But really, there is no competition.

East to Hilo (Big Island) you can find an area full of calm natural pools near the ocean.

There are quite a few black sand beaches in Hawaii, but this was by far the most beautiful, it was also empty from the crowds.

Hawaii’s big surf season is winter, but surfers ain’t gonna wait that long, are they?

Snorkel at Molokini was superb! The water was so clear one could see 25 feet down. Fishes were patiently waiting for us and posed to our photos with big smiles (not the fish in the photo).

Guarded by ancient lava fingers, Turtle Town in Maui was supposed to be, well, a town full of turtles. I only managed to see three of them, but this one was gigantic.

Sunset at Mauna Kea summit with the Gemini and UH 2.2 meter telescopes in the foreground. At more than 13,796 feet (4,200 m) it was freezing, but worth it. If you have the opportunity (and a 4×4) to see the sunset at Mauna Kea, don’t miss it.
Mauna Kea holds 13 telescopes including the largest in the world.
