THE SECRETS OF HONOLULU
One of our favourite things we love doing during our travels is exploring along the beaten path, away from the tourist traps. A great way to do this is jumping on a bike and pedalling through areas that you can't access via car - and that's just what we did.
PARASAILING HIGH ABOVE WAIKIKI

EXPLORING THE DEPTHS OF HAWAII
When we reached the island of Oahu in Hawaii we knew there was one thing we simply had to do - scuba dive. We hadn't dived in almost over a year and we were itching to jump back in and explore more of our vast oceans.
