Hawaii Things You May Not Know



Tourists do not know jack about pineapples. Surprisingly if you ask a tourist how they are grown, they will say in a tree. No, pineapples do not grow on trees (see picture).





For all you Lost followers looking for The dumpster filmed in Lost (early on in the season one of the Lost cast members was tossed into a dumpster). So here it is in all its splendor and full of trash (we actually had tour guide point that out to us)


Hanauma Bay is an awesome place! The walk down to the water is easy, but coming back up after a few hours of snorkeling is not. We recommend that you break down and purchase the round trip transportation from the Visitor Center to the Bay. It’s just a few bucks. Oh and for you smokers, there is no smoking on the beach.




Vog enhanced sunsets, Vog is Hawaii’s version of smog, which is spewed into the atmosphere by the volcano on the Big Island; if the trade winds are low you can get some extra spectacular sunsets.

  1. Won't ever forget when Keoki started growing white pineapples in front of one of our vacation cottages. First tourists remarks were that they loved this lovely 'decoration'! They did not know that these were the real kind. Aloha, Pua
