A complete guide to Puna -- Hawaii's best kept secret

We wanted to go under but our fears were blocking our attempts every time we tried. In Lanai, we finally found an option we really loved, snuba. Not Scuba, not Snorkeling but a perfect solution in the middle.

Check this out to see the places we loved the most during our stay in Hawaii. This American state has more to offer than just paradisiacal beaches!

Kalaupapa is a mostly lush and desolated region in Molokai, famous for its implacable geography. While it looks like a heavenly place for the occassional visitor, for its inhabitants it can ressemble to something very similar to hell.

We visited Molokai Island where we enjoy an amazing cultural experience with the Solatorio Family. There we spent a very memorable time.

It is always a difficult task to curate our best photos from one destination, but this time was especially trying. Because everything about Maui IS a postcard.

When the journey is most definitely the destination - photos of the Road to Hana in Maui.

I had enough time to get panicky about paragliding in Maui, but not enough time to chicken out. So I did it, and then wanted to do it again.

Our Maui helicopter excursion may just have ruined all other destinations for us.

Our suite was perched over the rocky Maui shoreline. We fell asleep to waves gently rolling in. We didn't want to ever leave the Napili Kai Beach Resort

Our cursed Haleakala sunrise - we were disappointed in Angkor Wat and Tikal, and did not see the first morning rays again in Maui.

Our morning with Curtis, doing what he loves in the best job on Maui - kayaking and snorkeling. He might just have the best job in the world.

From the magical afternoon spent with cultural icons, to the explicit reminder on road signs that things are different there. There is no spa, no luau offered just for tourists. Molokai is as off-beaten as it gets in this clump of islands in the middle of the Pacific.

I am a water baby by astrological sign, a strong swimmer who was almost nearly a certified lifeguard. Going under though? That’s a whole other world.
