Hālona Blowhole and Paragliding • 6 comments • Hālona Blowhole is a unique rock formation on Oahu, just off of Hanauma Bay. Hālona means "lookout". When the tides are high, the shape of the rock helps to create a spray that shoots high into the air, like a geyser. The winds weren't in our favour that day, and we didn't witness it. Like everything else in Hawaii, the scenery was so beautiful that we were just thrilled to be there, blowhole or no blowhole. We also stopped in a parking lot to admire a paraglider who was floating through the air for quite a long time. There was a time that we thought kite surfing might be a fun idea, this seems even more insane. Who knows, maybe someday...
Order Here // Where to Eat in Oahu • 3 comments • On those really hot days, when all you want to is find a body of cold water to throw yourself into, I don't think too much about food. I especially don't want hot food. Rotisserie chicken is something I personally equate with cold Canadian days and definitely not with palm trees and flip flops. Ray's Kiawe Broiled Chicken, in Haleiwa (on the North Shore of Oahu), came highly recommended and Alex wanted to try some Huli Huli Chicken. I stole a piece of his order and it lives up to the acclaim. Later in the day, I was craving something fresh, so we headed to The Beet Box Cafe where we shared a some avocado toast and a salad - quite the opposite of our previous meal but equally satisfying in an entirely different way. - Mina
