Capturing the Moment

  There's something magical about exploring the Hawaiian Islands from the air, and my recent adventure with Mokulele Airlines from Maui to Molokai was nothing short of extraordinary. Buckle up and join me as we embark on a scenic flight aboard a small 10-seater plane, capturing breathtaking views of the North Shore of Maui, the historic Halawa Valley, the haunting remnants of the leper colony at Kalaupapa, and the awe-inspiring sea cliffs of Molokai.

Another fun snorkel here on Maui as we eagerly await the arrival of our first guests onboard the Safari Explorer. Check out this beautiful spot known as Coral Gardens.

We went to reefs end, backwall, Secrets at the southernmost tip of the island, and then to Coral Gardens. Not a bad day. Even learned a few new spots myself.     This is some of the GoPro footage I took set to some relaxing music. Enjoy!
