On the Big Island, Mauna Kea or the "White Mountain," is known for being largest and southernmost volcano on the Hawaiian islands. It's also the host of the world's largest astronomical observatory. Here is just a glimpse of a typical evening on Mauna Kea's summit.

Lucky We Live Hawaii Pillbox Hike Oahu

The Pillbox Hiking Trail (also known as the Ka'iwa Ridge Trail) is a local favorite to catch some amazing panoramic views of Oahu's eastern coastline. Taking only about 20 minutes to reach the highest point, this trail overlooks some of Kailua's best attractions including Lanikai Beach, the Mokulua Islands and Waimanalo to name a few. The two "pillboxes" along the trail were once used as bunkers for the military as look out points. Now days we just use them to get a better look of the beautiful scenery! Standing up on the boxes you cant help but take it all in and say, "Lucky We Live Hawaii!"

Haleakala, or the "House of the Sun," attracts thousands of visitors and locals every year. It's a spectacular view unlike anything you've ever seen. With its 10,000 foot summit, you can watch the sun rise through the clouds and light up the sky! Such a beautiful site to see, and a must do upon visiting Maui.

Recently we got to hang out with the talented Lady Slider, Tara Binek. It was a small day for surf, but we decided to paddle out anyway. It actually ended up being super fun with only a few of us out in the water. Whether its small ankle bitters or 4 feet, the sunsets in Hawaii are always hard to beat and are worth the paddle out.
