The first time I went to Dinosaur Park I was just a child and thought it was so neat to climb on these giant dinosaurs. I loved Jurassic Park so to me this was like my own little taste of Jurassic Park. Twenty years later I went back with my husband and I still had a blast climbing on the dinosaurs. Dinosaur Park is a free park that was built-in 1936. It consists of...
Wailua Falls is a beautiful cascading 80 foot waterfall just north of Lihue and is widely recognized because it is featured in the opening credits of fantasy island. It is recommended that you don’t hike to the top of the waterfall, because it is dangerous, we did not know this at the time and we hiked to the top of the waterfall. The river that flows into the...
Machu Picchu is one of the most amazing places I have ever been in my life! Being there makes you speechless and we had the opportunity to go during the 100 year anniversary. It was such a memorable trip and not just because Danny proposed to me there. We only had a few days in Peru so we took the train instead of hiking the Inca Trail. We took the first train from...

Hawaii Shark Encounters also charges ten dollars more a person than North Shore Shark Adventures...

When traveling to the Galapagos Islands remember there are a few fees you have to pay. We did not know this before we left. Before you can get on the plane to travel over you have to pay $10 a person to get a tourist card. When you arrive in the Galapagos Islands Airport you have to pay $100 dollars per person to enter the park. It has to be cash and every island is...
This was a mind-blowing adventure and my husband’s favorite activity that we did. It was extremely affordable and well worth the money. We chose to do the snorkel option opposed to the scuba diving package and had a blast! This dive is always ranked in the top ten best dives in the world, currently it is ranked #7 at scubatravel.com. The company we...
