Back in the turn-of-the-century, the majority of the irrigation ditches used to distribute water to the sugar cane fields were built by Japanese immigrants. These elaborate waterways were built by hand in very difficult conditions using bare hands, picks, shovels, and hammers. The laborers often had to work 12 hour days for a pittance and a place to live. In the day, building these irrigation ditches was engineering genius. Over time sugar was no longer produced in the islands and sugar cane fields became obsolete.
Fast-forward to today and you’ll discover that these plantations are now home to quite unique adventures. I first found out about the ditches several years ago when I heard that they were doing water adventures on the Big Island and Kauai. Flumin’ Da Ditch is a tour operating on the north side of the Big Island near Hawi. On our next trip to the Big Island we decided to try this activity. We had such a great time that we recommended that visitors take this tour. Unfortunately, the earthquake of October 2006 damaged the ditches and the tours are no longer offered.
Luckily, the tours are still continuing on Kauai which is operated by Kauai Backcountry adventures. Last year we tried one of those Kauai tours. Unlike Flumin’ Da Ditch on the Big island that was done in kayaks, on Kauai you traverse these elaborate tunnels and ditch system on inner tubes. Tours start with a great history about this plantation and the views are magnificent.
The tour itself was pretty easy with little surprises except that the water is freezing cold! Once I got into the inner tube I quickly got used to the temperature so it wasn’t a real problem. My wife Yaling is not much of a swimmer, but did fine because the water only about 3 feet deep. The water doesn’t flow too fast so it’s unlikely you’ll be tossed out of the tube. You’ll be given a hard hat equipped with a flashlight so you can see you way though a few tunnels along the way. Bring with you a change of clothes, some shoes you won’t mind getting wet and some mosquito repellent.
While the sugar cane fields are gone, you can still get the sweet taste of what it was like on the plantations with one of these great adventures. For more information on how to make your Hawaii trip a vacation of a lifetime, please call me at 1-800-843-8771 extension 22.
Just say Aloha Bruce and I will hook you up with everything you need.

Most of the states have great places for hiking, but it’s hard to beat Hawaii’s variety. All the islands have great hiking territory. Here are a few to consider if you’re a hiker or if you just enjoy beautiful walks:
- On Kauai, the Kalalau Trail hosts some of the most spectacular views in the Hawaiian Islands, and the Hanakapiai Falls Trail begins two miles up the Kalalau Trail on the Na Pali Coast at Hanakapiai Beach.
- On Maui, the Halemauu Trail to Holua Cabin descends the sheer cliffs of Haleakala on the west crater wall.
- Waipio Valley and Mauna Kea are near the northernmost point of the Big Island. Once the home President John F. Kennedy’s first Peace Corps training camp, the area today is a remote and little-visited place modern man has all but forgotten.
For the full spectrum of all that is Hawaii, consider the 1,875 acres of Waimea Valley on Oahu’s North Shore. It’s been a sacred place for more than 700 years of Native Hawaiian history. 78 sites of interest have been identified in the valley, including religious sites and shrines, house sites, agricultural terraces and fishponds.
The valley’s150-acre botanical collection contains more than 5,000 kinds of tropical and subtropical plants, including native and endangered Hawaiian plants. Four out of five species of native freshwater fish can be found in Kamananui Stream.
Once you’re in the valley, for which there’s an admission fee of $5.00 to $10.00, you can participate in several free activities including lei making, kapa demonstrations, hula lessons, Hawaiian games, crafts, music and story telling.
Several free (with your paid admission) walking tours are offered at 10:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m. 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m.
You want to be sure to take in the Valley’s 45-foot waterfall, Waihï. It’s about 3/4 of a mile from the park entrance booth.
Waimea Valley hosts larger tours – from easy and moderate family walks every Saturday to strenuous five-hour scrambles on the last Saturday of every month. Guides will help you identify the native and exotic plants, and will point out the indigenous birds and fish. The family hikes cost $5.00 per person, and the five-hour hikes cost $10.00 in addition to the valley entry fee. You’ll need reservations.
As you finish your visit, there is a retail store that showcases the work of local artists and Hawaii crafters of locally made products. The store also hosts weekly demonstrations by featured vendors. The valley’s on-site concession services uses locally grown, made-in-Hawaii ingredients for tasty local dining.

One of the great things about living in Hawaii is that when friends and family come to visit we get to play tourist with them. This weekend my cousin and his wife from Miami came to visit us and we got to experience some fun places we haven’t been to in a long time. It was so much fun I had to share our experiences.
Miami is another tourist destination but nothing like Hawaii. One of the big differences I noticed is our beautiful mountain ranges. As we drove to Waikiki from the airport my cousins could see mauka (toward the mountain) up into Manoa Valley. As we drove down the H-1freeway they could see the Honolulu skyline and Diamond Head. We checked them into their hotel and 30 minutes later we were at the Hula Grill celebrating the restaurant’s fifth anniversary. I could feel the Aloha spirit all around Waikiki. People were friendly and smiling and it made me proud that we have such a wonderful opportunity to help folks plan vacations in Hawaii. Next we took a walk down Kalakua Avenue and showed them the beautiful Royal Hawaiian Hotel and the Moana Surfrider. The great thing about these hotels is that you can just stroll onto properties and hang out; there so much Aloha spirit and history that you feel very welcome. Both properties are very beautiful and you can relax while having a drink and watching a wonderful Hawaiian sunset. The Pan Pacific Festival was happening in Waikiki that evening so we spent some time enjoying this wonderful event. I especially enjoyed seeing the festival and other activities through my cousins’ eyes; the multiculturalism, the beauty and excitement of being there was overwhelming.
On Saturday we started very early. My cousin told me about all fun they had doing simple things such as enjoying the sunrise, taking pictures of the beautiful scenery from the hotel room, and getting food at one of the ABC stores. After picking them up we drove up to a beautiful rainforest in Manoa with a trail that leads to a waterfall. Later, we went to the Waioli Tea Room, a wonderful restaurant located the heart of Manoa. As if that wasn’t enough, we took them back to the East side of the Island to our home in Hawaii Kai and took a little boat ride on Kuappa Pond.
Sunday was just as much fun but with a little twist. It was my cousin’s anniversary so we took them to Hanauma Bay for snorkeling. They had a great time enjoying the beach in this beautiful sanctuary. Unfortunately, when we returned to the car I discovered that I had my keys in my pocket while I was swimming. Little did I know that would cause my car not to start! We had plans to go to dinner in the evening in just a couple of hours. I thought to myself “What a bummer!” along a few other choice words, but my cousins were so relaxed it didn’t even faze them. They took the bus back to their hotel and we had our car home (only 3 mile away). We ended the night at Alan Wong’s, our favorite restaurant. I am not a food blogger so I will spare you all the details. I will tell you though, our meal was just incredible and I highly recommend you check out Alan Wong’s restaurant when you’re on Oahu.
We actually enjoyed being tourists again, seeing and experiencing Hawaii anew. It was the perfect end to a perfect weekend in Paradise.

If you’re planning a trip to Hawaii, you should really think about bringing something unique back to remember your trip. In previous posts we’ve discussed what not to bring back as keepsakes such as lava rock or black sand from any of the beaches (strictly forbidden and brings bad luck). So let’s talk about something that you can bring back that will provide wonderful memories of your Hawaiian vacation.
So what is Hawaiian memorabilia? For the most part these are antique items that come from Hawaii, such as dolls, posters, quilts and the ever popular aloha shirts. There is one place on Oahu that has Hawaiian memorabilia and souvenirs that goes way beyond anything you could ever find at the typical souvenir shops. It’s called Bailey’s Antiques and Aloha Shirts. The store opened over 30 years ago and has a huge selection of vintage items from Hawaii going back to the early 50s. Bailey’s has paper goods that go even farther back to the late 20s and 30s.
We found lots of great stuff there and couldn’t resist taking home an antique "nodder" (ironically made in Japan) that is similar to "bobble head." The difference is the spring mechanism is located toward the bottom of the nodder that allows the hula skirt to move rather than the head as in the bobble head. Most nodders have magnets on the bottom which were placed on cars in the 50s that had metal dashboards; even I am too young to remember them!!
.jpg)
Bailey’s is located on 517 Kapahulu Avenue just outside of Waikiki, not too far from the Rainbow Drive-In which is famous for great Hawaii plate lunches. If you go to Bailey’s it’s truly a trip back in time and a reminder of the Hawaii of old. Go there on Tuesday, Thursday or Friday after 1PM and you’ll meet a wonderful woman named Suzie Coleman who works at the store. A resident of Hawaii for 48 years, Suzie has a wealth of information and love for anything and everything having to do with Hawaiian memorabilia.
If you are interested in learning more and you happen to be on Oahu during July 17-18, 2009, you can check out the 19th Annual Hawaii Collectors Show. There will be a huge selection of Hawaiian memorabilia that may be a treasure someday. Every other year (it happens this year) there surf auction at the same time in which vintage Hawaiian surf memorabilia will go to the highest bidder. All this will all take place at the Neil Blaisdell Concert Exhibition Hall. For more information please go to Ukulele.com.
For many people coming to Hawaii is a trip of a lifetime, so why not make it truly memorable with a piece of Hawaiian history that is truly unique and interesting.

More and more people are wearing tattoos these days, all over the world. The social stigma is far less than it’s been over the years, and “body art” has come to be admired in most circles.
In Hawaii, tattoos have a significance of their own.
Early explorers noted that both men and women wore tattoos in old Hawaii, and there was a variety of reasons. Some men were heavily tattooed on only one side of their bodies. One explorer noted that they looked like men half burned, or daubed with ink, from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet. Such tattoo treatments were commonly applied to warriors in the Marquesas as a disguise, and it is now thought that such tattooing may have set apart Hawaiian warriors as well.
Oral history tells of warriors defeated in battle who were taken prisoner, then beaten, then tattooed. As an added indignity, their eyelids were turned up and tattooed on the inside. Some outcasts born into the slave class were permanently marked with a curved line above the bridge of the nose, or a circular spot in the middle of the forehead, with curved lines like brackets on either side of the eyes.
It was Captain James Cook who introduced tattoos to the western world, and today “tattoo” is among a very few words to be used internationally that have a Polynesian origin. The word comes from the word “tatau” used in Tahiti, Tonga, and Samoa. In Hawai‘i the word became kakau. Hawaiian tattoo designs usually depicted squares, triangles, crescents and figures of personal gods, such as the lizard or shark.
After Western contact, tattoo designs evolved to include more fanciful shapes such as figures of birds, goats, fans or guns. When King Kamehameha died, many Hawaiians had “Kamehameha, 1819” tattooed on themselves to show their respect for the king.
Tattoo needles sometimes were made of beaks and claws of birds, but more often they were fashioned from the knife-like barbs on the sides of the tails of certain fish. Some bones were split to form double pointed needles. Still others were grooved from the base to the point of the barb with the dull upper end wrapped in fiber to hold ink in reserve. Ink for permanent tattoos was made of the burned soot of the kukui nut.
Historians think that anyone could have a tattoo, but often it was the ali`i (upper class) who were the most extensively adorned because skilled tattoo masters were expensive. Hula dancers, both men and women, were usually generously tattooed. Women often had tattoos on their fingers, hands, and wrists.
Today, there’s a resurgence of Hawaiian pride. Tattoos are becoming increasingly common in the islands. Tattooing is one of the few ancient art forms that are truly Polynesian.
Hawaii is loaded with tattoo parlors and artists. The better ones are pretty expensive.

Hawaii today is a hotbed for film production. Producers have discovered the islands’ amazing beauty, and they’ve come to realize that the metropolitan areas – especially Honolulu – serve well for street scenes and interiors.
It wasn’t always that way. Back in the late 1950s and early 60s, a detective show was running on CBS that became extremely popular. “Surfside Six” was set in Miami Beach and featured good-looking private detectives surrounded by pretty girls and crimes that baffled or were under the radar of the police.
When “Surfside Six” had run its course, CBS management wanted to continue the concept of pretty people solving crimes in a tropical location. “Hawaiian Eye” was born to replace “Surfside.” Although it was set in Hawaii, it was shot in Hollywood, with only some background scenes reflecting the islands.
By 1968, “Eye,” too, had run its course, but the CBS bigwigs were determined to follow the pretty people-pretty-place formula. “Hawaii 5-0” filled the bill and the network took a giant step. This time, with Hawaii again the setting, principle filming was actually done in Hawaii, with most post-production still being done in Hollywood. Supporting facilities were built, equipped and staffed. We locals loved it. We delighted in recognizing locations and other locals who had landed parts in most episodes. We especially enjoyed ridiculing the continuity. A car would take a left in Downtown Honolulu then suddenly be driving along a small street on Oahu’s North Shore.
“5-0” starred Jack Lord as lead detective for a fictional Hawaii state police department. (Hawaii has no state police. The counties provide their own police forces.) The show ran for 12 seasons, from 1968 to 1980. It remains one of the most-watched shows in television history. In fact it still runs in syndication.
In 1980, “Magnum P.I.” appeared, still following the same formula and again set in Hawaii, with Tom Sellick emerging as a sexy star portraying a private eye who lives in a cottage on a large estate. One of the reasons for this series being set in Hawaii was that CBS did not want to close its Hawaii production offices when “5-O” ceased production.
CBS had produced the program from 1980 through 1988, and it’s broadcast in syndication throughout the world and on-demand streaming media via CBS.
Currently running (on ABC) is the popular “Lost,” which is filmed in Hawaii but not set here.
So Hawaii is on the producers’ maps. They recognize that the islands are full of camera-friendly locations and that now there’s a small army of well-trained and experienced film production people to hire. Movies, too, now are filmed in the islands regularly. When you’re on vacation here, you probably will recognize the places where memorable scenes from both popular films and TV series were shot.
Don’t forget your own camera.

Back in 1946, a tsunami struck the Hawaiian Islands.
There had been no warning to Hawaii as the Tsunami Warning System had not yet been established, and the tsunami was extremely damaging throughout the islands. It was especially devastating to the Island of Hawaii.
The town of Hilo on the island of Hawaii was struck by a series of six to seven large tsunami waves in 15-20 minute intervals. The highest of those waves had a run-up height of 30 feet above sea level. The waves completely destroyed Hilo’s waterfront, killing 159 people. Every house on the main street facing Hilo Bay was ripped off its foundation and carried across the street crashing against buildings on the other side.
Today, the Pacific Tsunami Museum, in downtown Hilo, offers stark evidence of the power of tsunamis that have hit Hilo and the rest of the Pacific Basin. The Museum is located just across the street from Hilo Bay. A live webcam keeps its electronic eye on the bay to watch for Tsunamis, and there’s an evacuation plan conspicuously posted as you come in since the Museum is within the tsunami zone in Hilo. Hey, there’s actually nothing to worry about. With all the monitoring going on within the Pacific now, you would have sufficient warning. If a tsunami were to be headed toward the islands, there would be plenty of time to move to higher ground. Tsunamis are generated by earthquakes elsewhere in the Pacific. (An earthquake in Hawaii might generate a tsunami headed outwards.)
The museum has a series of in-house permanent exhibits that interpret the tsunami phenomena, the Pacific Tsunami Warning system, the history of tsunamis in the Pacific Basin, tsunamis of the future, myths and legends about tsunamis, and public safety measures for tsunami disasters.
The Museum is certainly worth your time if your vacation plans include the Big Island. (Hilo is on the east coast.) It’s open every day between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. There’s an admission fee of $7.00; seniors pay $6.00 and kids are just $2.00.
Most of the exhibits are a mix of photographs, text and some video. Some of the videos are kind of long, but really interesting for anyone with any interest in earthquakes and tsunamis. As you watch the videos detailing the tsunami destruction in Hilo, you can look out the windows of the museum and imagine the damage and destruction around you.
If the museum sounds interesting to you, pick an agent from the Hawaii-Aloha Web site (hawaii-aloha.com), or call 1-800-843-8771. We’ll help you work it into your schedule.

When you’re in the islands on vacation, you may hear or read about the ongoing debate about ceded lands, and about the Akaka Bill, and wonder what’s going on. Here’s a briefing:
In 1893, the government of the Kingdom of Hawaii was overthrown by a group of planters and businessmen — mostly American — supported by a contingent of U.S. Marines. The revolutionaries then established the Republic of Hawaii and entered into negotiations with the United States to seek Hawaii’s annexation.
When Hawaii was annexed by the United States in 1898, the Republic of Hawaii ceded the public lands of Hawaii to the United States. When Hawaii became a state in 1959, the United States conveyed more than a million acres of that land to the new state, which was to hold the land in trust for five specific purposes, including "the benefit of Native Hawaiians." The resulting "Ceded Lands Trust" is like the school lands trusts established in the admission acts of most states that joined the Union after 1820 or so.
In 1993, Congress issued an apology for the United States’ role in overthrowing Hawaii’s monarchy. Last year, based on that apology, the Hawaii Supreme Court held that the State cannot convey lands from the Ceded Lands Trust to private parties until the claims of Native Hawaiians to the lands have been resolved. Today, lot of work remains to resolve a lawsuit that was filed by the Office of Hawaiian over the issue.
Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overturned the state Supreme Court’s ruling and sent the case back to that body, ruling that the apology does not prohibit Hawaiian officials from selling or transferring state land.
The Hawaii Attorney General and attorneys from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs are now trying to work out the future of the lawsuit.
In the meantime, The Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act of 2007 – commonly known as the Akaka Bill – is under consideration in Congress. (U.S. Senator Dan Akaka, pictured above, has proposed various forms of the bill since 2000.) The bill seeks to establish a process for Native Hawaiians to gain federal recognition that would be similar to the recognition that some Native American tribes currently have. It also prohibits Hawaiians from establishing casinos under current laws without banning the establishment of casinos under future negotiations from participation in programs and services enjoyed by Indians. It also prohibits Hawaiians from being included on the Secretary of the Interior’s list of tribes eligible for federal benefits because of their status as Indians.
There are several aspects of the Akaka Bill that have generated debate, but we won’t go into those here.
While you’re here on vacation, either or both of those issues may be in the news. The foregoing provides you with a little background so you know what’s up.

If you’re going to be on the island of Kauai on your vacation, and especially if you’ll be staying in the Poipu area on the south shore, make it a point to do the Koloa Heritage Trail.
It’s ten miles long. You can do the trick in an hour by car, or walk it and enjoy it much more. You’ll learn about the sugar era buildings still existing in Koloa and you’ll discover the history of Prince Kuhio, Koloa Landing, Moir Gardens, Poipu Beach and Keoneloa Bay.
Altogether there are 14 interesting and scenic stops and monuments describing the significance of teach location. Here are some of the highlights:
There’s the area where Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole was born. He became a delegate to U.S. Congress after Hawaii became a territory in 1900, serving for 19 years.
You’ll see Koloa Landing, which once was the third largest whaling port in all of Hawaii.
In the Pa’u Allaka-Moir Gardens, you’ll encounter water-lily-filled lava rock ponds, koi and a variety of orchid and cactus species.
Poipu Beach Park contains abundant, easy-to-view marine life in calm waters. You may come across an endangered native Hawaiian Monk seal or a threatened Green sea turtle. From November through May, the endangered Humpback whale appears.
You’ll see Keoneloa Bay, which used to be a temporary fishing camp where users left behind stone-age tools, remnants of heiau (temples), and ahu, or altars.
The Pu’uwanawana Volcanic Cone was a hotspot in the earth that spewed lava upward to form the volcanic mountain island you’ll be on.
Nearby, the Jodo Mission’s interior was built by a specialist in temple architecture from Japan. Hand-painted, wooden ceiling tiles were a gift from the Japanese artist who rendered them.
Built at the turn of the 20th century, the Yamamoto Building functioned at various times as a plantation camp store and general store with a service station. Behind it, the Koloa Hotel offered rooms to traveling salesmen and actors.
As you can tell, there’s a lot to take in, and there’s plenty more that we haven’t covered here. If you’re driving, don’t just blow by the signs, mounted on lava rock pedestals, that are scattered throughout the area. They provide a wealth of information about this part of the island.
There’s a variety of family-oriented tours available. To help plan your visit, pick an agent from the Hawaii-Aloha Web site home page (hawaii-aloha.com), or call 1-800-843-8771.
